REPORT ON COUNCIL<\/strong><\/p>\n

April 26, 2010<\/em><\/p>\n

Committee of the Whole Meeting: 9:02 am \u2013 12:42 pm and 1:14 pm -4:08 pm<\/em><\/p>\n

Regular Evening Meeting: 7:00 pm \u2013 7:32 pm<\/p>\n

Present – Mayor Breckenridge, Deputy Mayor Lawrence and Councillors Claire, Cornell and Warren<\/em><\/p>\n

CONFIDENTIAL \/ CLOSED SESSION<\/strong>: 11:37 am \u2013 12:42 pm and 1:44 pm \u2013 2:30 pm. Ian Rowe, of Burgar Rowe, was present for one of these sessions.<\/p>\n

SUMMER SPECIAL EVENTS<\/strong>
\nCouncil reviewed the request for funding from Le Festival du Loup. They decided that they should have an indication from all organizations as to the financial contributions they expect to request before allocating the $6000 budgeted for such events in 2010. Staff advised that Summerama officials should be available for the first meeting in May. Staff was asked to contact the M\u00e9tis regarding their plans and the Tiny Trails Lions Club presented their request today. As the Lions\u2019 Gigantic Yard Sale is planned for May 29th, Council needs to make a decision at the next meeting.<\/p>\n

DEVELOPMENT CHARGES<\/strong>
\nAs the development charges by-law must be updated every five years, the Township asked Hemson Consulting to prepare a study and make recommendations. The formulas are complex and based on future growth as well as the past 10-year history. Based on these formulas, the charge for a residential building permit would decrease from $5173 to $4619. So far, Council has simply \u201creceived\u201d Hemson\u2019s report but has not acted on it.<\/p>\n

TABULATORS FOR THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION<\/strong>
\nCouncil approved a 5-year contract for the leasing of tabulators for the upcoming election and the 2014 election. If for any reason a decision were made to revert to a manual count in 2014, the contract could be cancelled. The benefit of signing a 5 year contract is the guarantee of the same price in 2014 as in 2010.
\nIt was disappointing to see Council approve another sole source contract without even asking if there are viable options. In the recent past two members had stated that they would not suport any more sole source deals.<\/p>\n

BUILDING PERMIT ACTIVITY<\/strong>
\nMarch 2010 permits totalled $2,070,000 up from $1,779,000 in 1009. The year to date total is $3,387,000 as compared to $2,845,000 in 2009.<\/p>\n

BEACH ACCESS PERMITS FOR CONTRACTORS<\/strong>
\nStaff confimed changes have been made to the Beach Access Permits. Contractors must now estimate the number of days required for the work. If they find that more time is required, they must apply for an extension.<\/p>\n

SOUTHERN GEORGIAN BAY COASTAL INITIATIVE<\/strong>
\nCouncil approved a resolution to recognize the need to
\nprotect, conserve and restore the Southern Georgian Bay Coastal region.
\nThis is a similar to the resolutions passed by the Town of Wasaga Beach and the Town of Blue Mountain.
\nWe have not seen any communication from this organization in several months and it is difficult to forecast where this initiative may go.<\/p>\n

LAFONTAINE\/GEORGIAN SANDS WATER SYSTEMS<\/strong>
\nIn response to a request by Councillor Warren for an update on the public presentation for the Lafontaine\/Georgian Sands Environment Assessment study, Henk Blom (Manager of Public Works) reported that to date they have been unsuccessful in finding enough groundwater to dilute the nitrates in the water and that until sufficient groundwater is found the project is in abeyance.<\/p>\n
