Your Worship and Members of Councill
I have just heard through an Oro-Medonte resident visiting our church that Ian Beard died
recendy. This was indeed very sad news to receive. I remember the late Mayor as an
individual whose integrity and sincere efforts to reach decisions both in the best interests of
the Municipality and fair to individuals were always inspiring to witness. Wrapped within
his personality of plain decency and friendlinessl that made the whole person one that 1 will
always remember with respect and regard.
Those traits of decency and friendliness traced through the whole Municipal political and
staff structure. While my memories of the Township of Oro-Medonte now have a tinge of
sadnessl they remain veryl very good ones.
1 extend to Mrs Beard and to YOUI my sincere condolences.
Respectfully and yours in Christl

RE: Bowes & Braden Application for Zoning By-Law Amendment
OUR FILE NO. H 34.523.001 SW
Thank you for providing us with a copy of Andria Leigh's May 28th staff report and
attachments. Mr. and Mrs. Divine are pleased that Township staff have conducted a thorough
review of the issues for council's consideration. The Divines agree with the conclusions
contained in Ms. Leigh's May 28th report, and they respectfully request that council deny the
Bowes & Braden application for rezoning. 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.
We thank council for its consideration and we would ask that a copy of this letter be provided
to the Mayor and councillors prior to the meeting on June 5, 2002.

Members of Aggregate Resources Management Plan
Working Group
Township of Oro-Medonte
Nick McDonald
Date: May 31, 2002
Subject: MEETING SUMMARY
Job Number: 2039
The purpose of this memo is to summarize the comments made at a meeting of the Aggregate
Resources Working Group held on May 7, 2002. 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

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

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.

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

SIMCOE COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
Budget Update # 1 - May 15, 2002
(3 pages)
Trustees Receive Pre-Budget Overview
The Simcoe County District School Board held its first public budget development meeting on
May 15 as school boards across the province await specific grant information from the provincial
government. 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.

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.
Yours sincerely,
tf

Reference: Concerns re Lakeshore Road
Dear Mrs. Franchetto
The Council of the Township of Oro/Medonte passed the following motion at the Committee of
the Whole meeting of November 14, 2001 with respect to the above-noted matter:
.
I
"It is recommended that Report No. PWS2001-22 by Jerry Ball,
Public Works Superintendent, re: residents' concems-
Lakeshore Road between 7th and 5th Lines be received and
adopted, and that the Public Works Department paint a center line
on the entire Lakeshore Road as part of the 2002 Maintenance
Program, and 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, and further that the
Public Works Department place one "Hidden Driveway" sign on
the curve prior to Lot #247 before the winter season (2001), and
that the existing speed limit of 50 km/h remain on Lakeshore Road
from the 5th to the 7th Lines, and further that the OPP be requested
to increase radar patrol enforcement on Lakeshore Road from the
5th to the 7th Lines, and that the Director of Environmental Services
correspond directly with Ms. Franchetto with regard to the street
lighting request."
Council also formally received the information you subsequently provided at the Council
meeting of November 21, 2001 and your e-mail of December 5, 2001 at the Committee of the
Whole meeting of December 12, 2001.
We trust the above information is self -explanatory; however, should you require further
assistance in this regard, please contact the undersigned.

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.
Respectfully submitted,

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.

Motion #
May 30, 2002
Date: June 12. 2002
Background:
The lease of the Oro-Medonte Administration Building's two photocopiers expires on September 23rd
2002.
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.

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.
(460ST similar to 255ST but with improved features)

1. That Council receives and adopts this report.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Purchasing and Tendering Procedures By-law, for the
reasons stated in this report, Council deems it beneficial to enter into a lease agreement with

MOTION #:
DATE: R. M. FILE #: M02-11404
Correspondence (attached) has been received from Trilife Sports International requesting a
temporary road closure during their 24 Hours of Adrenalin Mountain Bike Festival to be held on
August 16, 17 and 18, 2002. This request is the same as the previous three years.
The event will be held at Hardwood Hills for the 7th year. It has grown into the largest participatory
mountain biking festival in Canada, with over 2,500 participants and several thousand spectators.
Trilife Sports International is the event promoter putting on the event and Hardwood Hills rents the
facility to Trilife for the weekend.
The 6th Line will be closed to local traffic from Old Barrie Road North to Bass Lake Sideroad from 8:00
a.m. on Friday, August 16th to 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 18th, 2002. There will be controlled
access at the Barrie Road to eliminate any safety concerns.
The Roads Department will supply barricades and "road closed" and "local traffic only" signs for both
intersections at Bass Lake Sideroad and Barrie Road.
As indicated in the correspondence, Trilife Sports International will notify all emergency personnel
and all affected residents of the road closure, the same as the 2001 mountain bike event. All
emergency personnel will have access to this location at all times and Trilife Sports International will
advise the municipality that all emergency personnel have been notified accordingly.
Trilife Sports International will list the Township of Oro-Medonte on their insurance policy and forward
a copy of it prior to the event.

1. THAT Council receives and adopts this report.
2. THAT Council authorizes the temporary closure of the 6th Line from Old Barrie Road North to

Dear Mr. Ball
] am writing 10 formally apply for a Temporary Road Closure during the 24 Hours of
Adrenalin"fM alHurdwood Hm" from August ]6-18,2002. This request is being made by
Trilife Sports Jnlernalional, the event promoter, and not by H,IJ'dwood H1l1s itself.
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.

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.

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 RECOMMENDATION
1. That the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing be advised that the Township
of Oro-Medonte Council is supportive of the enactment of Bill 124, however Council
supports the concerns expressed by AMO and that he be requested to amend Bill 124
by:
a) Deleting Section 4.2, which would allow the principle of builder directed
registered code agencies;
b) Deleting Subsection 8(2.1), 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
currently 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
applicable to all participants in the building construction sector;
e) By continuing dialogue with AMO in the same spirit as noted in the
Memorandum of Understanding signed with AMO on December 19, 2001;
f) That the Attorney General be urged to introduce for enactment Bill 10,
"An Act to Amend the Limitations Act", to limit the liability for building
construction participants to 10 years, to complement the intent of Bill 124.
2. That a copy of this Report BD2002-07 be forwarded to area MPP Garfield
Dunlop, 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;

Honorable Chris Hodgson
Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
777 Bay Street, 17th Floor
Toronto, Ontario M5G 2E5
Dear Mr. Hodgson:
The Ontario Association of Fire Chief evaluates any proposed legislation, which
may affect the fire service in Ontario. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
