The Divines further request that council order Bowes & Braden to "cease and desist" from operating Pallets North until such time as the business is located on lands properly zoned for industrial business. Such an order should include a requirement that Bowes & Braden take immediate steps to clean up the property and to remove any and all pallets which are stored outside.

All members of the Working Group were in attendance, with the exception of Craig Laing from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Gord Jaensh. Below are the main points made at this meeting. 1. Nick McDonald provided an overview of the intent of the meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to review a report prepared by Meridian Planning Consultants on the state of aggregate resources in the Township of Oro-Medonte. A further purpose of the meeting was to review and distribute a report prepared by Cansult Tatham on the haul routes in the Township. Lastly, an update on the status of the work being carried out by the Oro Moraine working group was to be provided. 2. Nick McDonald then turned the meeting over to Chris Jones, who provided the Working Group with a broad overview of the draft report prepared by Meridian. It was noted by Chris that the purpose of the Meridian report was to establish a context to facilitate a review of the policy framework presently used by the Township of Oro-Medonte to manage aggregate resources and to assist in determining whether any changes to this framework are necessary. 3. Following the presentation of the Meridian report, Nick McDonald then summarized the report prepared by Cansult Tatham on the eXisting haul routes in the Township. The purpose of this report, which was dated April, 2002 was to provide an inventory and assessment of those routes within the Township of Oro-Medonte that currently function as truck haul routes servicing the aggregate resource industry. 4. Andria Leigh of the Township of Oro-Medonte noted that a few of the roads that were identified as being substandard by Cansult Tatham are in the process of being upgraded by either the County and the Township. For example, County Road 11 from the 2nd Line Page 1 113 Collier Street, Barrie, Ontario l4M 1H2 Phone: (705) 737-4512 Fax: (705) 737-5078 r---- ! !:) 0' . J- north to 3rd Line north is to be upgraded this year. In addition, the ih Line south from Horseshoe Valley Road is also to be upgraded. 5. Ted Duncan indicated that he still has some concerns about Concession 9, particularly between the southern access to the Truax pit and Bass lake Side Road. Nick McDonald indicated that this road was identified as being substandard in a number of respects by the Cansult Tatham report. Nick indicated that Cansult Tatham definitely identified a drainage problem to this section of the 9th Line. Nick also indicated that one of the difficulties the Township has with respect to this road is that the first Truax gravel pit was developed quite some time ago, meaning that the Township could not require the road be upgraded as a condition of approval. 6. Ted Duncan also indicated that he is of the view that more traffic is using both the 9th and 10th Line. This was particularly noticeable when Horseshoe Valley Road was under construction last summer. Ted indicated that everyone would benefit from the knowledge of how much traffic is using these roads. Nick McDonald indicated that this was identified as a shortcoming early on in the project and the Township has authorized Cansult Tatham to carry out a traffic count in the spring of this year. The purpose of the traffic count review would be to determine how many trucks and cars are using the haul routes in the municipality at the present time. 7. Ted Duncan further indicated that speed is an issue on the 9th line because the paved portion of the 9th line leads to the gravel portion at a 90 degree angle. Ted indicated that he is aware of and was actually involved in some near misses on the 9th line in this area. Ted indicated that he was concerned that the issue was not properly vetted in the context of the Cansult Tatham report. In response, Nick asked Ted to review the Cansult Tatham report in detail, as it was only handed out at the meeting, and determine whether the 9th line was dealt with appropriately in the context of the report. 8. Nick McDonald then reviewed the issues raised in the Meridian Report in Section 6. the first issue has to do with whether it was appropriate and desirable to continue to permit aggregate extraction on the Oro Moraine. Before a discussion was held on this matter, Nick asked Mike Jones of Azimuth Environmental to summarize the work that his firm is completing on the Oro Moraine. Mike Jones provided the Working Group with a summary of the methodology being used to review natural heritage features and functions on the Oro Moraine. A document prepared by Azimuth Environmental on this methodology and dated April 2002 was handed out to all working group members at the meeting. Mike indicated that the Township required a quantitative assessment of the environmental sensitivity of the Moraine to all types of development, using a variety of data sources. Mike also indicated that the Oro Moraine Working Group had discussed the depth of the study in detail and has supported the methodology. Essentially, the purpose of the study is to ensure that the Township has the best information available to both evaluate and consider planning applications and planning scenarios for the Oro-Moraine. 9. Nick McDonald indicated that the study will contain a considerable amount of information on the Oro Moraine. Nick also indicated that the Township wishes to develop a planning Page 2 113 Collier Street, Barrie, Ontario L4M 1H2 Phone: (705) 737-4512 Fax: (705) 737-5078 5cl-3 framework which is similar to the framework recently approved by the Province for the Oak Ridges Moraine. 10. Nick then asked the group whether it was good planning to allow extraction on the Oro Moraine at all. Jackie Fraser of the APAO indicated that the Working Group should not lose sight of the opportunities extraction provides. Jackie indicated that the construction industry of the Province relies upon the supply of aggregate. In addition, Jackie indicated that gravel pits, when rehabilitated, provide opportunities for recreational uses as well. Nick McDonald indicated that he was fully aware of these opportunities. 11. Kathy Woeller of the MNR also indicated that we should not lose sight of the positives. Kathy indicated that extraction uses should be considered as interim uses, even though they may occur over one persons life time. Mayor Neil Craig then indicated that the Township is not wanting to convey the wrong idea about extraction. The Township is merely wishing to ensure that extraction areas are in the right location and have minimal impacts on the environment and the character of the area. 12. Nick then asked the group whether it was appropriate from a planning perspective to concentrate extraction activities in one area or permit them to be dispersed over a wider area. For example, existing pits are located on the ih, 9th and 13th Lines. The Township could make it a policy in the Official Plan to encourage further development on these haul routes, given that they are already the site of extraction activities. Kathy then indicated that perhaps the study should be renamed as an Access Management Study as opposed to an Aggregate Resource Management Study. Nick indicated that that was a good point. 13. Mayor Craig then enquired about what trends have become evident in our review of the aggregate resource in Oro-Medonte and Ontario generally. Mayor Craig indicated that some local operators have become anxious to expand their operations at this time. Nick indicated that we could not easily quantify the future demand for aggregate resources in Oro-Medonte, primarily because of the quality of the aggregate in the Township and the availability of limestone from places like the Township of Ramara. 14. Mayor Craig enquired whether the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and its policies would have an impact on the rate of extraction on the Oro Moraine. Jackie Fraser of the APAO responded that there was not much gravel left on the Oak Ridges Moraine to start of with. Mayor Craig then commented that the cost of production for limestone is higher than for sand and gravel, however limestone is increasingly being used in the road building industry for new roads. 15. Councillor Harry Hughes indicated that he had heard that the quality of aggregate in Oro- Medonte was generally poor, because of its sand content. Mr. Hughes then wondered if it would be reasonable to undesignate land on the basis of it not being financially viable to extract the resource. Mike Jones then confirmed that the Moraine is highly variable in terms of its make-up, because of its geological history. 16. Nick McDonald then indicated that one of the intents of this study is to educate the public as much as possible in addition to establishing a good and sound policy framework for aggregate extraction in the municipality. Page 3 113 Collier Street, Barrie, Ontario L4M 1H2 Phone: (705) 737-4512 Fax: (705) 737-5078 51! 0-'-1 17. Ted Duncan indicated that water is a big issue and a concern with many residents. Ted also indicated that the Official Plan should not be a work in progress, rather it should set the ground rules for all business in the municipality. Nick indicated that it has always been the Township's intent to prepare an Official Plan that does not require major amendments. However, Ted indicated that it is troubling to see land designated for aggregate resource use, but not utilized. Nick McDonald indicated that at the time the Official Plan was prepared, the Province required Municipalities to identify where the prime aggregate producing areas are in the Official Plans. 18. At this stage Jackie Fraser indicated that the existing Official Plan is pretty good indicating to the public where a pit could locate. Andria Leigh agreed with Jackie Fraser but indicated further that many people subjectively interpret the policies at the present time. It is on this basis that some of them need to be clarified. 19. Ted Duncan raised the issue of the development in the western part of the City of Orillia having an impact and being impacted upon a pit that has yet to be developed on the 15th Line. Kathy Woeller indicated the compatibility was an issue when the lands were approved for development in the City of Orillia. 20. Nick indicated that the Township wishes to make the reports available to the general public on the internet. It is proposed that open houses be held on the reports and other studies in August of this year. Nick indicated that comments from the group will be sought up until May 17, 2002 on the various reports. As of June 3, 2002, comments have been received from only the Ministry of Natural Resources and the APAO. The APAO comments have been circulated. The MNR comments will be circulated. Both have indicated that they have some concerns with the Meridian report and would like to meet with the working group again to discuss these concerns before the report is finalized. Such a meeting will be held on June 7, 2002 21. Harry Hughes indicated that the North Simcoe news would be an appropriate means by which information on the two studies could be summarized or published review. Everyone agreed with that suggestion. Notices for the open houses will be placed in the North Simcoe News. The deadline for the June 21 edition was May 31. I can confirm that the notices will go in. 22. Ted Duncan indicated that the was not in favour or open houses and would prefer a presentation of the information instead. Nick indicated that we could set up a combination open house/presentation meeting to address his concerns. The notices will indicate that the meetings will be both an open house and a presentation. A copy of the notice is attached. 23. Jackie Fraser then confirmed that the ih will be the date of the tour of a number of pits in the municipality. 24. The meeting was adjourned. If anyone has any comments about this memo, please bring them to Nick's attention on June 7, 2002. In the interim, if anyone has any questions, please give me a call.

Local trustees expressed concern that while the provincial government has announced total provincial dollars available for education in 2002-2003 the specific local board grant amounts are not expected until late May at the earliest. Regardless of when the General Legislative Grants (GLGs) are released, school boards are still required to prepare and submit balmiced budgets to the Ministry of Education by June 30. While the steps taken by the Ministry on May 10 to improve financial situations in district school boards are appreciated, early analysis of the government's announcement of $347 million for education in Ontario translates into an increase of only 1.7%. The Ontario Public School Boards Assocation estimates that $86 million of the total amount is for enrolment (based on a projected provincial enrolment increase of 0.4%) and that $23 million makes permanent the previous two years of ad hoc transportation funding. These two items (totalling $109 million) reduce the $350 million announcement to $241 million, and reduce the overall percentage increase from the announced 2.5% to 1.7%. Trustees in the Simcoe County District School Board expressed doubt that this percentage increase will be enough to cover expenses for a system that will be striving to serve the educational needs of approximately 55,000 students in 107 schools and six Adult Learning Centres in the coming school year. In the meantime, Board staff and trustees continue to review expenditures for 2001-2002 and provincial funding fonnula parameters in preparation for matching upcoming grant allocations with anticipated expenditures in 2002-2003. Superintendent of Business Services Mark Valcic explained how the government allocated the board's $314 million budget in 2001-2002 and provided a comprehensive overview of the provincial fundingfonnula. , SIMCOE COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD Budget Update # 1 - May 15, 2002 3 ....JI.- - c..; Superintendent Valcic described the classroom and non-classroom expenditure categories in the operating budget as follows: Classroom Instruction: Classroom Teachers Supply Teachers Teacher Assistants Textbooks & Classroom Supplies Computers Professional & Para-professionals Library & Guidance Staff Development Non-Classroom: Preparation Time Principals & Vice-Principals Department Heads School Secretaries Teacher Consultants Trustees Director and Supervisory Officers Board Administration School Operations Continuing Education Transportation Superintendent Va1cic also explained that school boards are provided with little flexibility in allocating provincial grants and expenditures. Allocations are governed by the following rules: · No transfers out of classroom expenditure category · No transfers out of special education allocation · No transfers out of facility renewal funds and new pupil places funds · No transfers into the Board Administration and Governance category · School boards must allocate resources to ensure that they meet the legislated maximums for average class size on a board-wide basis. A portion of the budget meeting was devoted to a discussion of financial reserves and limitations on flexibility in using these reserves. Trustees expressed concern that the delay in grant announcements and related technical information will result in a compressed timeline for budget development meetings in order to meet the Ministry of Education's budget submission deadline of June 30. - 30- Information: lvlark Valdc, Superintendent of Business Services, (705) 734-6363, ext. 259 SF-/ April 26, 2002 Mr. & Mrs. Paul Franchetto 240 Lakeshore Rd.

LOL 2EO (705)-487 -9999 {1rttii;T;t -'1 bl iMAr 2 ;; - J "O~?;:>_ I ' .. .. . c" 'c..- ",",>'c_ J , "-...:c''':;::;C''=i'''~d:....,_;J Mayor Neil Craig & Council Oro-Medonte Township Dear Mayor Craig and Council: Re: Road Safety Issue As residents of Lakeshore Road, W., it has concerned us, and several of our neighbours, that the presence of the OPP Radar Reinforcement on Lakeshore Road West since January 2002 has been next to nil, and that there is still a general disregard for the posted speed limits. On November 14, 2001, Gerry Ball, Oro-Medonte Roads Dept., (Report #PWS2001-22), assured us that there would be an increased presence of the OPP Radar Reinforcement. In March 2002, I contacted Gerry Ball regarding the lack of Radar Reinforcement. His reason for this was that the OPP could only come when they were able to. In November 2001, it was our impression that Council had made a commitment to increase the Police presence. Mr. Ball feels that this roadway can be travelled safely at 50 km/hr. If this is so, why are motorists allowed to travel this roadway at highway speeds? You can't enforce the speed limit if the reinforcement isn't there! Lakeshore Road West is a 3 kilometer, narrow, residential street (minus a centre line) with soft shoulders and no place to walk safely, with bends and hidden driveways. The speeding problem is still very real and is not getting any better. It is a heavily travelled street and there are times during the day when it is worse than others. On a few occasions, I have almost been 'T-boned' coming out of my driveway and other neighbours have come close to being rear-ended, not to mention past accidents due to excessive speed. Local school bus drivers have expressed concern while picking up and dropping children off, that there have been incidents of impatient drivers trying to avoid stopping or suddenly appear careening around a bend. Excessive speeding limits the reaction time to avoid a serious accident. We are becoming very impatient with the time it is taking to address this safety issue. ::J r -cZ. Over the past year we have done our homework in trying to assist the OPP and the Township. A few examples are as follows: 1. We have tried raising public awareness through interviews with the Orillia and Barrie newpapers, appealing to the public to obey the speed limit. 2. We have offered our driveways to the OPP to use during Radar Patrol (which they have done in the past). 3. We have used Citizen Report forms. 4. We have identified time blocks recommended for Radar Patrol. 5. We have determined and identified problem areas. In a letter dated April 24, 2001 from Garfield Dunlop, MPP, he stated that "The road is the responsibility of the Oro-Medonte Township'. This letter was regarding Community Safety Zones (this is an adaptable solution, if only supported). The speeding problem will not go away as long as there is an undisputed safety issue. Regardless of the signage that was implemented in early January, motorists still choose to ignore the 50 km/h speed limit and also speed dangerously around both bends. It is evident that through discussions with various departments and other municipalities, the following measures need to be adopted to ensure street safety . Install 3-way stops - they are widely used in other communities to slow down traffic. Install speed humps or bumps (or removable speed bumps) - THEY WORK! A pedestrian/bike path - painted on or added to the existing road (a centre line too, would be nice) 'Radar Enforced' signage attached to every 50km/h sign on Lakeshore Road West (Radar reinforcement is what the Township recommended). Zero tolerance towards speeding infractions. .. . 5(-3 Recommended Radar Patrol Times: These are blocks of time when most infractions occur. 6:15 - 7:30 a.m. 11:45-12:45 p.m. 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. 4:00 - 6:30 p.m. 8:30 - midnight We are requesting that a monthly report on police activity along Lakeshore Road West to be forwarded to the above address. As this area continues to grow, the issue of safety and speeding violations will only become worse unless addressed. The excuse that speeding happens in other communities is invalid and is not a reason not to do something about it. Of course there is also the risk of 'liability' against the township when empty promises and recommendations are not fulfilled. Placing the emphasis on police patrol is not realistic. The police should not be expected to solve a problem that can be resolved with physical barriers. Consistent police presence at busy times would be great, but may only succeed in filling the provincial coffers and creating animosity between neighbour-to- neighbour and the public to the police. We are confident that the Township of Oro-Medonte and Council are committed to doing the right thing and will act on these common sense suggestions. Looking forward to hearing from you in this regard.

MOTION #: r~-J1Jg DATE: ) DATE: A/ou / c.( /0/ November 2, 2001 . I Correspondence (attached) has been received from residents of the above-noted area requesting action being taken to slow speeding vehicles and to consider the safety of pedestrians walking along Lakeshore Road. As mentioned in the correspondence, the O.P.P. have focused on this location a number of times with success in reducing the speed, but once the area is no longer patrolled, the problems resume. In the statistics report for the month of September, 2001 provided by Detachment Commander Len Hassberger, 18 hours were committed to the Lakeshore area, with six charges being laid and seven warnings handed out. In reading the letter from Ms. Franchetto, many of the residents' concerns, such as drag racing late at night, speeding of commuters early in the morning and in the evening, cars chasing one another, as well as tailgating, are enforcement problems and appear to be mainly from local residents. Many recommendations are offered from the residents for Council consideration, such as lowering the speed limit, placing speed bumps, erecting numerous three and fourway stop signs, and installing street lights along the Lakeshore from the 5th to the ih Lines. After driving this section of road to consider the residents' requests and possible solutions and applying our Roadway Service Standards, it is suggested that the existing speed limit of 50 kmlh remain as all conditions within the standards are met and this road can be driven safely at 50km/h. The residents have suggested that stop signs be placed at four different locations along Lakeshore Road to reduce speeding, but as stated in the Manual of Traffic Control Devices, stop signs are not to be used as speed control devices. Their usage should be limited to the control of right-of-way conflicts. Guidelines per Division 2 - Regulatory Section Part A, attached - "Stop" sign control results in delay to motorists and may increase some types of collision experience". It was also suggested that a "Community Safety Zone" be implemented for this area, which doubles the fines when charges are laid. In discussion with Detachment Commander Hassberger, a - ., , V"--t:> ;c~nity Safety Zone demA~'higher standard of enforcemera,,:}s usually in the vicinity of a , L Since no major accidents have been report in this area and there is no immediate school . ,ne, Commander Hassberger suggest it would not warrant designation of a Community Safety 6ne; When placing this designation consideration for deployment of staff becomes priority. Mr. Hassberger also indicated that radar enforcement is being completed as often as his work force is available. Street lighting was requested by the residents for the Lakeshore area from the 5th to the7th to improve conditions for pedestrians. I've provided the Director of Environmental Services, Mr. Keith Mathieson, with the request and he advises that his office will contact Ms. Franchetto directly, Speed bumps have been requested from other residents in different areas of the community and Council has historically denied the request on the basis of liability and that speed bumps have been proven to be dangerous especially during the winter maintenance period. It is recommended that speed bumps not be placed along the Lakeshore as a speed control. To assist with the residents' concerns, it is recommended that a centre line be painted on the entire length of Lakeshore, "Pedestrian Warning" signs be appropriately placed and one "Hidden Driveway" sign be installed on the curve priqr to Lot #247. It is also recommended that theO.P.P. be requested through resolution of Council to increase radar patrol enforcement with regards to this roadway section. 1. THAT the Public Works Department paint a center line on the entire Lakeshore Road, as part of the 2002 Maintenance Program. 2. THAT the Public Works Department appropriately place "Pedestrian Warning" signs along the Lakeshore from the 5th to the 7th Lines in the spring of 2002. 3. THAT the Public Works Department place one "Hidden Driveway" sign on the curve prior to Lot #247 before the winter season. 4. THAT the existing speed limit of 50 km/h remains on Lakeshore Road from the 5th to the 7th Lines. 5. THAT the O.P.P. be requested, to increase radar patrol enforcement on Lakeshore Road from the 5th to the 7th Lines. 6. THAT the Director of Environmental Services corresponds directly with Ms. Franchetto with regards to the street lighting request. 7 . THAT Council receives and adopts this report.

TOWNSHIP OF ORO-MEDONTE I IREPORT TO COUNCIL REPORT NO.: ADM 2002-19 PREPARED BY: Jennifer Zieleniewski DATE: May 24, 2002 SUBJECT: Township of Oro-Medonte Flag Etiquette Policies I IBACKGROUND The manner in which flags may be displayed in Canada is not governed by any legislation but by established practice. Position of Honour Due consideration should be given to flag etiquette and precedence whenever the National Flag of Canada is displayed. When the National Flag of Canada is flown alone on top of or in front of a building where there are two flagpoles, it should be flown on the flagpole to the left of the observer facing the flag. When the National Flag of Canada is flown alone on top of or in front of a building where there are more than two flagpoles, it should be flown as near as possible to the centre. In a line of three flags, the National Flag of Canada should be in the centre. The other two flags should be placed to the left and right of the Canadian flag. The Canadian flag always takes precedence over all other national flags when flown in Canada. Half-masting for Mourning Flags are flown at the half-mast position as a sign of mourning. The position of the flag when flying at half-mast will depend on the size of the flag and the length of the flagstaff. It must be lowered at least to a position recognizably "half- mastll to avoid the appearance of a flag, which has accidentally fallen away from the top of the mast owing to a loose flag rope. A satisfactory position for half-masting is to place the centre of the flag exactly halfway down the staff. . . l? () - (7"-.. When the National Flag of Canada is flown at half-mast, all flags flown together should also be flown at half-mast except personal flags and standards. It has been the practice in the past by the municipality that the National Flag of Canada be flown a portion higher than the other flags, displayed only in a manner befitting the national emblem; it should not be subjected to indignity or displayed in a position inferior to any other flag or ensign. I ANALYSIS I The following is a recommended practice of when flags should be flown at half-mast for the Township of Oro-Medonte: . On the death of the Royal Family related in the first degree to the Sovereign (spouse, son or daughter, father, mother, brother or sister), the Governor General and the Prime Minister; . On the death of the Lieutenant Governor, the Premier or another person similarly honoured by the province; . On the death of the local MP or MPP; . On the death of a sitting Member of our Council, a Member of County Councilor an active Member of Township Staff; . On the death of an active Emergency Personnel within the County of Simcoe. "Death" may be taken to include the day of passing and up to and including the day of the funeral. On Remembrance Day, November 11 th, it is recommended that the flag be flown at half- mast from sunrise to sunset. I I RECOMMENDATIONS 1. THAT this report be received and adopted. 2. THAT the Township of Oro-Medonte implements the attached Flag Etiquette Policies and Procedures. 3. THAT the Administration Department be responsible for the lowering and raising of all Township flags.

Current photocopier specifications: 1. Xerox 255ST photocopier ~ Digital ~ 55 pages per minute ~ Network printing ~ Scanner (Bought by Township) ~ 3 Years old 2. Xerox 5365 photocopier ~ Analog ~ 62 pages per minute ~ No Network Printing ~ No Scanner ~ Over 6 Years old The Xerox 255ST has been a reliable and efficient photocopier. The Xerox 5365 photocopier is outdated and prone to increased breakdowns. Xerox has made it clear that analog machines are being phased out. Xerox is charging more for maintenance and per copy costs for analog machines. The following are strong reasons for renewing a lease with Xerox. 1. The Township of Oro-Medonte owns the Xerox scanner that is attached to the Xerox 255ST. This scanner will only work on a Xerox photocopier. 2. Xerox is offering a promotion of an $8000 trade in voucher until June 30th. 3. Township computers are currently configured with Xerox settings and software. Switching brands would mean reconfiguration of servers and computers. 4. Staff are familiar with Xerox photocopiers, reducing the need for training. 5. Support has been reliable and prompt. '1 ~ Analvsis: The following is the proposed solution for The Township of Oro-Medonte by Xerox. 1. Replace Xerox 5365 analog photocopier with the current Xerox 255ST digital photocopier. 2. Install new Xerox 460ST digital photocopier.

The road closure bejng requested is the Om 61h concession, from Simcoe 1] Hoad (Old Bartie Road) to Bass Side Road. The times and dates of the requested closure are from 8:00am, Friday August] 6th to 2:00pm on Sunday August 18th, 2002. This c]osure has, proven to be key factor in TriBle Sports putting on a safe event. We certainly want this clement of saf(~ly to conthwe in 2002. Because of the. "ize of the event, parking und traffic must be tightly contTolk-d. Closing of the road (e)l(:ept for event-rc1ate.d functions and Jocal1ruffic) makes control easier and safer to maintain. To further case this, we wjn again he hiring paid duty polkc officers 10 aid in trtlffic control during the event, including monitoring the road closure. Our proposed course wilJ again be crossing 61h concession. Due to the large number of pmticipants, there wiU be a constant flow of cyclists across the road. Event Marshals wiH monitor these crossings, but with the road closure there shou,ld be very few vehicle eneount.ers to deal with. As was done last year, residents of this section of the 6(h concession wiH be. natined of the closure prior to the event. Of course, they will JTH!int<~in access to the road in a eontrol1ed manner throughout the weekend. Furt.her. we wHl again )ist Oro-Medonte to on Trilife ]nsurance policy and forward you a copy of it prior to the event. We will also contact the Fire Deparlmem, OPP, Hospital. and the County of Simcol~. Should you require any more information from TriHfc in regard to this proposal, please do not hesitatc, (0 contact me be phone (905) 944-9436 X ] 09 or by fux (905) 944-9434.

REPORT TO: COMMITTEE OF THE PREPARED BY: #PWS2002-07 WHOLE Jerry Ball SUBJECT & FILE #: DEPARTMENT: COUNCIL: Speed Reduction - Pine Roads Ridge Trail in Horseshoe C. OF W.: Valley DATE: June 6, 2002 MOTION #: DATE: R. M. FILE #: T08-11280 Report #PWS2001-21 was presented to Council at the Committee of the Whole Meeting dated November 28,2001 with regards to a request from the Horseshoe Valley Property Owners Association to reduce the speed limit on Cathedral Pines and Pine Ridge Trail. The Association also requested the placement of "Pedestrian Advance" signs at each entrance to all phases of subdivisions within the Horseshoe area. The recommendations emanating from this Report were as follows: · That the existing speed limit of 50 kmlh remains for Cathedral Pines. · That "Pedestrian Advance" signs be erected within the entrances of all subdivisions within the Horseshoe Valley community. · That the speed limit for Pine Ridge Trail be reviewed during the ski season and a report be forwarded to Council. Pine Ridge Trail was reviewed on Saturday, February 9,2002 between the time of 8:15 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., resulting in 30 vehicles entering and 11 vehicles exiting the ski area. Within this time period, these vehicles did not appear to be driving in excess of the 50 km/h speed limit. A second review of Pine Ridge Trail was completed on Tuesday, May 28,2002 from 7:20 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., resulting in four vehicles entering and 12 vehicles exiting the subdivision area. Again, these vehicles did not appear to be driving in excess of the speed limit. Upon making two different site reviews on Pine Ridge Trail to consider weekend ski traffic and local weekday work traffic, the vehicle counts were not excessively high, nor did the speed of the traffic appear to be a concern on both occasions. Therefore, it is recommended that the speed limit of 50 kmlh for Cathedral Pines remains status quo. ;/,_1"\ {L 0'- 1. THAT Council receives and adopts this report. 2. THAT the existing speed limit of 50 kmlh for Cathedral Pines remains unchanged, based on results from site reviews during the winter and spring seasons. 3. THAT the Public Works Superintendent notifies the Horseshoe Valley Property Owners Association accordingly. Respectfully submitted, /! ~ .

DA TE: June 7J 2002 Motion # SUBJECT: BiB 124 Building Code Statute Law Amendment ActJ 2001 RM File #C11-011936 Date IBACKGROUND ~ The Ontario government has given first reading to Bill 124, An Act to Improve Public Safety and Increase Efficiency in Building Code Enforcement. Currently the BiJ1 is in second reading with third reading expected no later than the end of June. The short form for the Act wiJJ be BiJ1124, Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act, 2001. The purpose of the legislation is to amend the Ontario Building Code, 1992 and sections of the Planning Act in order to implement recommendations resulting from the Building Regulatory Reform Advisory Group (BRRAG) Commission chaired by Brian Coburn, M.P.P. in 2000. The FINAL Report was presented to the Minister on August 1,2000. The intent of this BRRAG report as noted in Mr. Coburn's letter to the Minister was as noted: "There was strong support for the vast majority of our recommendations. As indicated in the report, our recommendations are grouped under three main themes: improving building code knowledge of key practitioners; improving accountability of key practitioners and streamlining the building regulatory system. It is our view that the reforms in this report should be considered as a coherent package since many of the recommendations are inter-dependent." On December 19, 2001 the historic agreement signed between AMO and MMAH provides the basis for the AMO Taskforce Recommendations regarding BiJl124. See attachment#l. The result is noted in the AMO Policy Report on Bill 124 dated May 15,2002 that contains 33 recommendations as noted below. Recommendation 1: Because of inherent conflict of interest and liability concerns, AMO opposes the Section 4.2 RCAs. This section should be removed from the Bill. Recommendation 2: RCAs (approved under section 4.1) must be accountable to locally elected governments. Recommendation 3: The Province must ensure that the registry of provincially approved RCAs is updated frequently and accurately. RCA's (Registered Code Agencies) · Under Municipal control (4.1), RCA's are used by virtually every Municipality in Ontario already. For example, using R.G. Robertson as our engineer consultants, Meridian as our planning consultants, etc. FinalJy a way to control liability but under total municipal control. ExceUent. ]n cases of an increased requirement of building penn it applications in a short tenn or additional expertise required to complete projects for example high-rise construction or sewer plant expansion. · Under Builder Control (4.2), (No Municipal control by Chief Building Official), The only function that the municipal perfonns is issuing the Building Pennit and taking the Pennit Fee, which is required to be reduced since no plans review, or inspections are being conducted. Under Subsection 8(2. l), however, if an RCA is hired under agreement (either by the municipality or the applicant) to carry out plans review and submit a certificate to the Chief Building Official, the CBO cannot refuse to issue a building pennit even if the proposed construction wilJ not comply with the building code. Also if an RCA is appointed to carry out building inspections, the CBO has no direct control with respect to inspection quality and orders to comply, or lack thereof, except that he may amend or rescind any stop work order under Subsection 14(8). ]t is recommended that proposed Subsection 8(2. l) be deleted from the Bm and that current Section 22 of the BCA, which provides that the Chief Building Official may review and amend or rescind an order made by an inspector and that he may exercise any of the powers or perfonn any of the duties of an inspector, be amended to provide the CBO with similar control over an RCA, in order to facilitate continued consistency in the interpretation and application of the building code provisions. RCA's under 4.2 wi]] perfonn plans review, inspections and issue newly proposed Final inspections. RCA's potentialJy must issue orders to comply and stop work orders against their own clients which are the builders. WiIJ this ever happen? ]f this administrative function were ever perfonned the municipality must commence the court action at their own cost. Under 4.2, supposedly the total liability rests with the RCA. However, remember the municipality issues the pennit. Architects and engineers are required to be in control of an RCA service. The Ontario Association of Architects and the Professional Engineers of Ontario advised the Large Municipalities Chief Building Officials (LMCBO) at their May/2002 meeting in Peterborough that their respective fonnal education currently does not include subject matter related to building code administration and/or enforcement. Further that the acquisition of code knowledge has largely been through practice and education of dealing with Building Officials that currently are the purveyors of Building Code knowledge and the "experts" as classified in legal proceedings. ]n spite of this, MMAH stilJ continues on to put Architects and Engineers in charge in a 4.2 scenario. The impact of BilJ 124, particularly Section 4.2 of the legislation, on the fire services is that most municipalities rely on their fire services staff for plans review and inspections related to fire safety for alJ buildings. Under BiH 124 all fire services personnel currently carrying out this function will be required to pass assessment exams in order to be qualified. (Ontario Building Code Section 2.4.4) ExcelJent. However, under Section 4.2 ofBiIJ 124 equivalencies can be proposed through a RCA. The municipality does not review plans for pennit issuance and therefore any equivalencies that may impact fire services wilJ not be known to the fire services until the project is completed. This process could impact fire suppression and life safety. (See Association of Fire Chiefs comments attachment #2) Recommendation 4: Regulations should have the flexibility to allow Municipalities to develop their own agreements regarding the expedited review of similar plans. Recommendation 5: Provincial regulations under this section should require a high degree of conformity in the plans (allowing for regional variations due to climate/soil/topography). Depending on designs and submissions there is no concern. ..-/1/ ,.., /0 ~ j Recommendation 6: The government should not "over regulate" what Building Permit fees are charged by municipalities. The new Municipal Act establishes a framework for determining fees, so there is no need for a second set of regulations or for provincial micro-management. Recommendation 7: Regulations under the Bill should allow for an appropriate transition period - a minimum of three years, so Councils can phase in the additional tax increases to cover the costs of this legislation over time. Recommendation 8: Communities in Rural and Northern Areas will need Provincial financial assistance to implement the changes (e.g. training) associated with Bill 124. Recommendation 9: If the Provincial government chooses to continue to have a separate fee structure under Bill 124, the cost of training municipal officials should be borne by the Ministry, and the transition period should be extended. Recommendation 10: Development Charges should cover the capital costs of growth. This is currently not occurring in several municipalities. The cost of training municipal officials under a totany revised training system should be borne by the Ministry especiany ifMMAH chooses not to recognize previous training courses. Original BRRAG Recommendation A.l.iv: The Chair and Vice-Chairs recommend that the design of these programs be linked to building types (e.g., Part 3, Part 9, complex buildings) and technical disciplines (e.g., building, fire protection, plumbing, mechanical, etc.). Further, these programs must include requirements for regular maintenance of the Code-competency requirements by practitioners in order that they remain current with changing standards. In addition, there must be provision for grandfathering during some transition period based on reasonable previous experiential criteria andlor qualifications (ultimately though, an practitioners should be required to demonstrate base competency with the Building Code). Very Important. Additional clarification from MMAH is required. Recommendation 11: A Provincial Code of Conduct should not be applied to municipal building officials. Municipalities would be prepared to discuss ways that municipal corporations can be further empowered to discipline employees. If the government proceeds with implementing a Code, it should be applied to the entire building sector and provincial government officials - not just municipal employees. The proposal as noted by AMO is totany unacceptable unless applied to everyone e.g. MMAH staff, RCA's, CBO's, Buildingl Planning Directors and let's not forget the site plan approval committees including Counci1. A Code of Conduct was never discussed or even mentioned at BRRAG. The Township of Oro-Medonte already has a Code of Conduct or discipline policy in place. " Recommendation 12: Future regulations must take into account the variety of communities, conditions and growth patterns in Ontario. Recommendation 13: Given the potential liabilities and increased costs associated with the implementation of objective based codes, the government must extensively consult with municipalities before these changes are implemented in the future. Recommendation 14: Bill 124 should clearly articulate that if municipalities conduct the minimum inspections detailed they are meeting their due diligence requirements under the law. Recommendation 15: The content of the application forms should be prescribed in the regulations, not the application forms themselves. ...-"7 f d 111 ./ l--f t t...-A I AMO supports the notion of mandatory inspections. This wil1 provide more consistency across Ontario and provide municipalities with some "due diligence" protection in court. Exce11ent! In 2004, three objective-based model codes, the National Building Code (NBC), the National Plumbing Code (NPC) and the National Fire Code (NFC), wil1 be pub1ished and subsequently adopted by most provinces and territories. The objective-based codes are the most significant change to the national codes system in several decades. They are intended to clarify the scope and intent of codes while making it easier for regulatory officials to decide whether new technologies and designs meet the objectives underlying the code's minimum prescriptive and performance requirements. The new codes provide more information in qualitative form concerning what is to be achieved. Due to the major structural changes and increased information in the new 2004 versions of the codes, users wil1 benefit from transition training. In addition, for regulatory officials there is an opportunity to establish a framework for decision analysis with respect to evaluating alternative solutions. Additional training wil1 be required to use and understand Objective Based Codes and therefore there will be significant cost to this aspect. Recommendation 19: Regulations should require that RCAs provide municipalities with information on their insurance and certification on an ongoing basis. Recommendation 20: Municipalities must have the power to limit the scope of work performed by RCAs. In general the AMO supports these sections of the Bill. IfRCAs are going to conduct building inspections, they wi}] obviously need the tools and powers to complete this work.. Recommendation 21: The government needs to ensure that the Building Code Commission is accessible in all regions of the Province. Recommendation 22: The government needs to review the qualifications of those that will sit on the Building Code Commission in the future, and ensure that appropriate training is available to them. Recommendation 23: The Province should establish a technical working committee (with representatives from AMO and the building industry). Prior to the implementation of Ministerial rulings and interpretations, this technical Committee should be consulted. Recommendation 24: Municipalities must be protected from any liability associated with these decisions. AMO supports the powers granted in the Bi1I that a110w the Minister to issue written and binding interpretations of the Building Code as this would promote more consistency regarding how the code is applied across Ontario and clarify technical issues. Municipalities have several concerns regarding liability that need to be addressed by the government. Recommendation 25: Bill 10, the limitations Act, needs to be implemented at the same time as Bill 124. In addition, Bill 10 should be amended to reflect the BRRAG recommendations - "... an ultimate limitation period of 10 years be introduced for claims for damages other than bodily injury resulting from construction defects (economic loss)." Recommendation 26: In the absence of joint/several liability reform, other sectors in the building industry (including RCAs) should have the same timeframes associated with their liability that municipalities do - especially if the government proceeds with Section 4.2 RCAs. Other sectors in the building industry (especia11y RCAs) must have the same timeframes associated with their liability that municipa1ities do. Neither Bill 1 0 nor Bi1I 124 address jointlseveralliability. So 10 ~ /..-J municipalities may stiJJ be forced to pay for large legal settlements even though they are minimally involved in a project (i.e. the issuing a building pennit or reviewing applicable law). Recommendation 28: The Building Code Act should be amended to allow municipalities to apply to Small Claims Court rather than a Superior Court of Justice where orders to recover costs are less than $10,000. Recommendation 29: Section 56 should be removed from the Bill, and the government should proceed with a broader consultation on Subdivision, Site Plan Control, and the Development Permit Process. Site Plan Control The AMO Planning Taskforce has had an opportunity to review Section 56 of the Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act. It is recognized that the building industry may have some legitimate concerns regarding the site plan approval process, so do Planning departments and Municipal Councils. Agreed. Recommendation 30: The government must work with its municipal partners to develop strategies to ensure the payment of fines in a timely manner. Recommendation 31: Municipalities should be allowed to regulate "home renovators" who should be better defined in legislation/regulation. Recommendation 32: Under the New Home Warranty program, regulations should be introduced that limit how often individuals can build homes for themselves (without being regulated). Recommendation 33: The Ministry must accept its responsibility to enforce the OBC in the Unorganized Territories. Municipalities need to be able to retain the power to regulate renovators. The City of Os haw a Report on Bill 124 provides additional infonnation. See attachment #3. Conclusion: Bill 124 is a progressive and welcomed initiative to effectively improve public safety and increase efficiency in Building Code Enforcement, however proposed provisions that would limit and control the independence and authority of Chief Building Officials, appointed by local municipal councils are the biggest single threat that could adversely impact on the health, safety and investment of the consumer in the construction of buildings in accordance with the Ontario Building Code. The result of course is the increased exposure of the municipality's liability. AMO's concerns regarding BiJJ 124, noted their strong objection to the establishment of section 4.2 RCA's (builder controlled registered code agencies) including the need for the government to address the problems of liability and code knowledge if the BRRAG process is to have any credibility at all. How the transition period is managed is also important to local governments. Bill 124 proposes numerous changes and chaJlenges. Building departments, their Councils and taxpayers will need time to prepare for them. The eighteen-month transition period proposed by the Ministry may be too onerous for some communities. It should be lengthened to a minimum of three years. Municipalities are the stakeholders that will respond to problems when emergencies arise, including the possibility of being fmancially and legally responsible if something goes wrong. The municipality assumes position of an independent third party in all dealings with the public in enforcing the Ontario Building Code as required under legislation. , , i J /) /7,' i / l/'f j Cf ;;:./ ..

The Association plays a key role in promoting fire prevention and fire safety education initiatives on both provincial and federal levels In regard to Bill 124, An Act to Improve Public Safety and to Increase Efficiency in Building Code Enforcement, our Association has met with the Ontario Fire Marshals Office, Ontario Municipal Fire Prevention Officers Association and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to discuss the proposed legislation. The concept of the Registered Code Agency is to provide a municipality, referred to as Principal Authority, another option on how to deliver the level of service and to provide a faster, efficient service using the private sector. If this option is used the Ontario Fire Chiefs Association is concerned about the potential of reducing public and emergency responder safety. Fire and life safety is the OAFC prime objective and having checks and balances in place that ensures that goal is essential. Allowing building materials to be changed without the proper regulations in place is a very real concern. Many fire services also have collective agreement wording that may have an effect on the ability to deliver the legislation and regulations. The term "Applicable Qualifications" is to provide uniformity in the approval and review process, and is yet to be defined as it relates to the plan examiner, inspectors, etc. We request that the OAFC have input on the qualifications that pertain to the fire service. The OAFC respectfully requests an opportunity to discuss Bill 124 and to have input into the regulations. Please contact me at 905-436-3899. Thank you for your consideration, Yours very truly, Milt Wilson President Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs H:MiltlOAFCIHodgson Bill 124 cc: AMO OAFC BOARD OFFICE 786 Bath Rd., Unit 5, Kingston, On!

I~ Report To: Development Services Committee Item: Date of Report: From: DS-02-122 File: Commissioner, Department of D-ll00 0001 May 21, 2002 Date of Meeting: May 21,2002 Subject: Development Services Bill 124, "An Act to 1mprove Public Safety and to 1ncrease All Wards Efficiency in Building Code Enforcement" ~. 1.0 BACKGROUND ... At the meeting of City Council held on April 29, 2002 to consider a report to the Development Services Committee on the subject matter, the following motion was adopted: "That Report DS-02-82 dated April 10, 2002, from the Commissioner of Development Services providing an overview of Bill 124, an Act to Improve Public Safety and to Increase Efficiency in Building Code Enforcement, be received for information and a copy of the report be forwarded to all area MPP's, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Minister's Parliamentary Assistant and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario." There was general support for the enactment of Bill 124, which is a codification of most of the recommendations contained in the July 2000 BRRAG report, with the objectives of improved public safety, streamlining and accountability. Serious concern was expressed by Council, however, with respect to Section 4.2, which would provide the option for municipalities to allow . an applicant for a building permit to appoint a registered code agency (RCA), as well as with Section 7.1, which would require each municipality to develop and enforce a code of conduct for its chief building official (CBO) and building inspectors. Staff were requested to monitor developments with respect to the proposed legislation and report back to the Development Services Committee and Council. There are indications that the legislature, which reconvened on May 9th, considers Bill 124 to be a priority and will enact it during this session, with an expectation for 2nd and 3rd readings and passage before the house recesses at the end of June, and Royal Assent early in the fall session. Implementation of the Act would occur 18 months thereafter. "" 2.0 INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES N/A 98011.9901 Report to the Development Services Committee (Continued) - 2- 7a-lb Item: DS-02-122 Meeting Date: May 21, 2002 3.0 ANALYSIS When the Building Code Act, 1974 came into effect some 26 years ago, it heralded an era where building regulations would be uniform across the Province, free from the whims of local municipalities in adopting their own building by-laws, and, thereby, giving the building industry a recognizable and level playing field. Perhaps as important was the requirement that aJJ municipal Councils appoint a CBO who, as a persona designata, was free from political influence in enforcing the BCA. Bj]) 124, while very progressive in many ways, threatens the independence of the CBO in carrying out his statutory duties and has the potential to adversely impact on health and safety. Under Section 4.2, municipal Counci1s wj]) have the option of a]]owing builders to appoint their own RCAs with the obvious inherent potential for conflict of interest. Some Councils may receive undue pressure into accepting this option, thereby removing themselves from the decision-making process and preventing their CBO from exerting proper control over building construction. There is no guarantee that adopting this option would exempt the municipality from liability in the event of shoddy or unsafe construction and, in any event, Council would remain politicaJJy answerable to its constituents. It has been proven in other jurisdictions, such as Australia and New York City, that builder self regulation does not work. Section 4.2 should be deleted from BiB 124. Under Section 4.] , a municipality may enter into agreements with RCAs to perform plans review and/or building inspections. This is a progressive initiative to assist municipal building departments in periods of heavy building activity. Under Subsection 8(2.1), however, if an RCA is hired under agreement (either by the municipality or the applicant) to carry out plans review and submits a certificate to the chief building official, the CBO cannot refuse to issue a building permit even if the proposed construction wi]) not comply with the building code. Also, if an RCA is appointed to carry out building inspections, the CBO has no direct control with respect to inspection quality and orders to comply, or lack thereof, except that he may amend or rescind any stop work order under Subsection 14(8). Alternatively, the CBO may take the drastic action of suspending construction under Section 15.21 if, in his opinion, the RCA has ceased to adequately perform the functions specified in his appointment. This absence of one person control and accountability is not in the best interest of any of the participants - the municipality, the builder or the consumer. It is recommended that proposed Subsection 8(2.1) be deleted from the Bm and that current Section 22 of the BCA, which provides that the chief building official may review and amend or rescind an order made by an inspector and that he may exercise any of the powers or perform any of the duties of an inspector, be amended to provide the CBO with similar control over an RCA, in order to facilitate continued consistency in the interpretation and application of the building code provisions. As noted in the previous report, proposed Section 7.1 of the BiIJ would require each municipality to establish and enforce a code of conduct for the chief building official and inspectors. Report to the Development Services Committee (Continued) - 3- /11-- { f l/l I! Item: DS-02-122 Meeting Date: May 21, 2002 Building officials do not object to being subject to a code of conduct. Most municipaJities have codes of conduct for their employees, induding building officials, addressing such matters as honesty and conflict of interest. To single out buDding officials in the proposed legislation, however, is unwarranted and insuJting. And, to require each municipal Council to come up with their own code is a dangerous further threat to the independence and impartiality of building officials. If there is to be a code of conduct for building officials, it should be a uniform code developed by the Province and applicable to an participants in the building industry. A complementary issue is BiH 10, "An Act to Amend the Limitations Act", which has been sitting in limbo with the Attorney General since April, 2001. If enacted, there would stiH be a gap between the proposed liabiJity limitation on building construction of 15 years and the required insurance coverage of the players in the building construction industry for 7 years under BiH 124. It would be a progressive step, however, to improve the current situation whereby municipalities, which are often the only player left standing, could be liable for infinity. It is recommended that the Attorney General be urged to introduce for enactment Bil1 10 in conjunction with the implementation of BiH 124. fr. .. 4.0 CONCLUSION As previously overviewed in Report DS-02-82, BiH 124 is a progressive and weJcomed initiative to effectively amend and improve the Building Code Act. Provisions to limit and control the independence and authority of chief building officials, however, pose a threat that could adversely impact on the health, safety and investment of the consumer in the construction of buildings in accordance with the Ontario Building Code, free from political dictum. For consistency and accountability, the CBO must be the one person in each municipality ultimately responsible for the interpretation and application of the Ontario Building Code and the BCA, subject to the constraints currently in place under Sections 25 and 30 of the BCA. Accordingly, it is recommended that proposed Section 4.2 and Subsection 8(21) be removed from the BiH, current Section 22 of the BCA be amended to be applicable to RCAs and Section 7.1 be removed or amended to provide for a Provincial code of conduct applicable to an participants in the building construction industry. It should be noted that the Association of Municipalities of Ontario has prepared a response to BiH 124 and has raised similar concerns and objectives induding the requested deletion of Sections 4.2 and 7.1 -;. As a conateral initiative, it is recommended that BiH 10, "An Act to Amend the Limitation Act" be enacted in conjunction with the implementation of Bil1 124. Id / It Report to the Development Services Committee (Continued) - 4- Item: DS-02-122 Meeting Date: May 21, 2002 5.0 RECOMMENDED ACTION It is recommended: 1. That the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing be advised that Oshawa City Council is supportive of the enactment of Bj]] ] 24; but, that he be requested to amend the BilJ by: a) Deleting Section 4.2, which would allow applicants to appoint registered code agencIes; b) Deleting Subsection 8(2.]), which would require a chief building official to issue a building permit, where the design has been certified by a registered code agency, even if found to not comply with the Ontario Building Code; c) By amending Section 22 of Building Code Act to enable a chief building official to maintain the same control over registered code agencies that he currentJy has over building inspectors; and d) By deleting Section 7.1, which would require every municipal Council to establish and enforce a code of conduct for the chief building official and inspectors, or by amending that section to provide for a uniform code of conduct, developed by the Province, and applicable to all participants in the building construction sector; 2. That a copy of Report DS-02-122 be forwarded to all area MPP's, the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Minister's Parliamentary Assistant, Leaders of the Opposition, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario; and all area municipalities in the Region of Durham; and 3. That the Attorney General be urged to introduce for enactment Bill ] 0, "An Act to Amend the Limitations Act", to limit the liability for building construction participants to ] 5 years, to complement the intent of Bill 124.
