Pursuant to that agreement, the Owner is required to construct, at its expense, a turning circle on Blocks 21, 22, 23 and 24 and convey clear title of those blocks to the City for road purposes. That turning circle will remain in the ownership of the City until such time as the lands to the east are developed and Pineview Lane is extended, at which time the City will reconvey the lands comprising the turning circle to the adjacent owners, subject to the Municipal Act. As our Planning & Development Department advises that the road works within this plan of subdivision have been completed sufficient to permit public use, it is now appropropriate to dedicate and name Blocks 21 22, ,_~ and 24, Plan 40M-2056 as "Pineview Lane". Further, when Plan 40M-1810 was registered, Block 178 was conveyed to the City along the open end of Pineview Lane. This reserve was intended to be dedicated upon the development of the adjacent lands (now' Plan 40M-2056) in order to provide legal access to that development.

Attached hereto is the dra/'t bv-laxv, enactment of which will declare the subject lands surplus for thc purpose of sale. 0,,°_4 Report to Council L _~ -01 Subject: Disposal of Lands - East side of Reytan Blvd. October ~ ~ .~. 2001 BACKGROUND: The subject property was acquired by the City August 5, 1960 from Resources Land Cooperative Corporation as open space lands and compiles an area of approximately .063 acres. There are no registered easements or encumbrances. Central Versa owns the lands directly adjacent to the subject lands and have made application to the City fbr the development of a long-term care facility. Ongoing negotiations between the City's Planning & Development Department and Central Versa have resulted in an agreement whereby Central Versa will acquire the subject property for incorporation into their development of the adjacent lands for the sum of $5,400.00. The land assembly will allow Central Versa to provide a larger landscape buffer to the homes on Reytan Boulevard and to grade their property at the rear more gradually. This is a very suitable arrangement for the City as the subject property is very small, undevelopable and subject to ongoing maintenance and liability. Council should note that while the subject lands provide frontage to Re~an Boulevard, the final site plan will not reflect pedestrian or vehicular access to, or from the long-term care facility onto Reytan Boulevard; this restriction will be cosmetically accomplished by landscaping and fencing and, legally accomplished by Central Versa conveying a 0.3m reserve (across the Reytan Boulevard frontage) to the City prior to final site plan approval. It is further recommended that the requirement for an appraisal, pursuant to the City's Policy Respecting the Disposal of Land be waived in this instance. For negotiating purposes, staff applied the assessed value of the Central Versa lands to the subject lands and are satisfied with the sum of $5,400. Enactment of the attached bv-law will declare the lands surplus tbr the purpose of sale to Central Versa for incorporation into their development. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location map. 2. Draft byqaw.

L1V 6K7 Dear Maurice; Ajax Pickering Transit Authority (APTA) is expecting Provincial confirmation of our status as a legal Body Corporate in December 2001. One aspect of incorporation will be the need to formally identify roles and responsibilities of APTA Board of Management members within the legal context of a Corporation operating separate from both Municipalities (example: Signing Authority). We are requesting that yourself and Regional Councillor Jim McMaster initiate the process with your respective Municipal Councils to appoint permanent APTA Board of Management members. We suggest maintaining the existing Municipal representation on the Interim APTA Board of Management until our final meeting of the year scheduled for November 27, 2001. This will permit continuity of representation as we work through municipal support and APTA incorporation issues. We would like the names of members of Councils appointed as permanent representatives on the APTA Board of Management to be confirmed not later than November 20, 2001. Although the term of the permanent APTA Board of Management would commence January 1, 2002, we would encourage new members of the Board to attend our November 27, 2001 meeting as observers. In this manner new Board members will receive a full briefing on the status of APTA initiatives prior to commencing active participation on the APTA Board of Management in January 2002.

I have been a resident of Durham for over 30 years and have operated a family farm with a store on Brock Road, Pickering, where I have been seIling vegetables, flowers and plants f nave grown for the past 21 years. I have been an active member of Durham Farm Fresh Association, and I have been a member of the executive for three years. I am aware o1' the issues that relate to agricultural and rural land use especially those that might endanger existing farm land and those relating to road signs. Aisc, through my personal experience with airport lands and as a former real estate agent I have come into contacl with the conflict between developmen~ and farming, and believe in the possibility of resolutions. My interest in the Committee comes from my long standing family involvement in decision making in the city of Pickering and my familiarity with immigrant farmer issues. I have been able to improve my farming skills through graduation from the 'School of Hard Knocks", and keep my pesticides safety certification updated reguiariy. Because I can rely on family and employees, I have the freedom to attend meetings as required, and the ability to undertake extra work outside of meetings. I can be contacted at my store at the phone number above.

PAW STAFF TO REVIEW PET ADOPTION AND EUTHANASIA POLICIES The staff of the Town of Whitby that control the Animal Control Centre acknowledges that in comparison to other municipalities in the Region of Durham, they have a high rate of animals being euthanized and a lower rate of animals being adopted. In the motion passed by the PAW Joint Animal Control Committee, the staff has committed to reviewing their policies and procedures with respect to pet adoption and euthanasia and report back to the Committee on proposed improvements. Some methods of improving communications to residents within the PAW jurisdiction is to produce a Web Site that is exclusive to the PAW Animal Control Centre that would provide for placing unwanted and stray animals in good homes and animal education. The three municipalities would then have links to this Web Site for ease of access by their residents. PAW staff is also considering providing advertising that would be common to the three municipalities and could be inserted in the Community Pages. ATTACHMENT S: 1.

At the request of the Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Joint Animal Control Committee (P.A.W.), the animal control service providers in the Region of Durham were contacted to determine how P.A.W.'s pet adoption and euthanasia policies measure up to those of the other area municipalities. Analysis: P.A.W. Adoption and Euthanasia Policies and Procedure~. P.A.W.'s adoption and euthanasia policies date back to the inception of the Picketing, Ajax, Whitby joint animal control service in 1985. The policies and procedures, a copy of which is attached to this report, have remained relatively unchanged over the years. Many of the policies and procedures have been used as a model and adopted by other municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area. P.A.W. provides an adoption service for unwanted and stray pets in Ajax, Pickering and Whitby. Anyone who has an unwanted pet can turn it over to P.A.W. for adoption provided the animal meets certain adoption criteria. The animal's health, temperament, age and general habits are all taken into consideration when determining ils suitability for adoption. Stray pets that are not claimed by their owner are also offered for adoption provided they are in good health, have a good temperament and meet the remaining adoption criteria. Veterinarians are often consulted to determine whether or not a stray pet is considered to be suitable for adoption. Animals with behavioural or health problems are not put up for adoption. ATTACHHEN~ Treasurer's Report, Item 3-01 (Continued) P.A.W. goes to great lengths to place unwanted and stray pets in good homes. The benefits of adopting a pet are promoted through the local media, in various newsletters and publications and in the animal control service web page. Staff visit schools, participate in parades and community events and conduct open houses. The assistance of other animal control centres and shelters is encouraged and solicited. The help of animal rescue organizations is sought to adopt and rescue animals. Unfortunately, many of the stray pets taken in by P.A.W. are injured, sick or feral and must be euthanised. Even more unfortunate is the intolerable number of good, loving pets that must be put down by P.A.W. because they are unwanted or have been "abandoned" by their owners. Despite its best efforts, P.A.W. simply does not have the ways or the means to place all of the unwanted and stray pets in suitable homes. The Problem - Irresponsible Pet Ownership The root of the problem in the P.A.W. service area is no different than it is across the Greater Toronto Area. The problem is irresponsible pet owners who, for whatever reason, refuse to spay, neuter or register their pets and allow them to run at large. Not until the problem of irresponsible pet ownership is fully addressed will there be a noticeable reduction in the number of animals that must be put down. Quite simply stated, P.A.W. does not have the means to effectively deal with the number of unwanted and stray pets that are dropped on its doorstep. Experience in Other Municipalities A synopsis of animal control services activity in other municipalities in the Region of Durham is attached to this report. It is difficult to come to any conclusions on the relative effectiveness of the various programs simply on the basis of this synopsis. Policies, procedures and service levels differ from municipality to municipality. For example, some jurisdictions have a limit on the number of unwanted pets they will accept at any one time. P.A.W. has always felt obliged to accept unwanted pets for adoption provided they meet the established adoption criteria. Unfortunately, when the pound is filled to capacity and all other reasonable avenues have been exhausted, there is only one remaining solution to respond to the pet over population problem. What is obvious from the synopsis is that there is a very significant pet problem across the entire Region of Durham. The problems associated with irresponsible pet ownership are not exclusive to the P.A.W. service area. Based on the statistics provided, the other thing that becomes obvious is that some jurisdictions have more success than others in finding homes for unwanted and stray pets. P.A.W.'s Response to the Problem It was indicated earlier in this report, the root of the problem is irresponsible pet owners. Over the years, Pickering, Ajax and Whitby have been pro active in attempting to educate the public about the importance of responsible pet ownership. In addition to the efforts previously noted in this report, the municipalities have passed by-laws to prohibit the running at large of cats and dogs. Cats and dogs are required to be registered and differential registration fees have been introduced to encourage the spaying and neutering of pets. Pet owners with microchip pet identification qualify for reduced registration fees. In the Town ofWhitby, a lifetime identification tag has been introduced in an attempt to encourage more owners to identify their pets. All three municipalities have door-to-door campaigns promoting pet identification and the importance of responsible pet ownership. ATTACH M E ' Treasurer's Report, Item 3-01 (Continued) Conclusions This is not to say that more can't be done to promote responsible pet care and reduce the number of pets that have to be put down. For example, the Municipality of Clarington Animal Services has a website that is devoted to placing unwanted and stray animals in good homes. When an animal is taken in for adoption, a picture of the animal is taken and the picture is immediately posted to their website. A number of municipalities place greater responsibility on the pet owner to find a suitable home for their unwanted pet rather than simply handing the problem over to the local animal control service. Some animal control service centres work more closely than others with animal rescue organizations to adopt and rescue pets. If P.A.W. is going to achieve any degree of success in reducing the number of pets euthanised each year it must develop a comprehensive approach that not only addresses the effect but also the cause of the problem. It is recommended that staff be directed to give this matter its immediate attention. Existinq Policy: Refer to Analysis Alternatives: Refer to Analysis Financial Considerations: The challenge facing P.A.W. is to provide a reasonable, balanced and acceptable level of animal control service to the public recognizing the limited human and financial resources available. ATTACHH? : ___/ ~,, ~// / ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES PET ADOPTION AND EUTHANASIA POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Animal Adoptions: Unwanted or stray animals may be placed up for adoption subject to compliance with certain criteria. The Animal Control Centre will only accept unwanted pets from people who reside within the P.A.W. area. Many phone calls are placed to the Centre from persons wishing to give up their pets who are non-residents of the P.A.W. area. These people are requested to contact their local animal control centres. There is also a fee associated with bringing in an unwanted pet. When the unwanted animal is delivered and signed over to the Centre, the owner is made aware that the animal is no longer their's and that there is no set time for holding animals for adoption and that adoptive placement cannot be guaranteed. The owner is also advised that if the animal is not adopted, it will be euthanised. In terms of unwanted animals, pet owners are questioned as to where they reside and why they are giving up the animal and, further, questions are asked regarding the animal's age, health, temperament, general habits, etc.. Based on the information provided, a decision is made by the Supervisor of Animal Control Services whether a particular animal would be suitable for adoption. The Centre will not accept and place up for adoption an animal which knowingly has problems. Stray animals which have become the legal property of the Animal Control Centre are evaluated more closely in considering them for adoption, since the history of the animal is unknown. Often in consultation with a local veterinarian, animals are evaluated as to the appropriate age for adoption, the temperament and general health of the animal, the ability of the animal to adjust to surroundings and (especially in terms of stray adult cats) whether the animal has been neutered and/or declawed. All animals placed up for adoption that do not have previous records of vaccinations are given one set of vaccinations prior to adoption. Rabies shots are not given, since only a qualified veterinarian can administer this type of vaccination. It is important to note that only those animals which have become the legal property of the Animal Control Centre can be offered for adoption. Animals are adopted on a first come, first served basis and are not held for prospective buyers. In adopting the animal, an adoption fee is required to be paid. In addition to the fee, vaccine information and a complimentary annual licence will be issued for the animal if the owner is a resident of Ajax, Picketing or Whitby. The Centre will not knowingly adopt out a pet which hasn't been spayed or neutered to a resident who has already indicated that they own a pet of the opposite sex which is also not spayed or neutered. This policy is based on the fact that the Centre is attempting to control the birth of unwanted pets. Such owners are advised that they would be eligible to adopt a second animal at such time as their current animal has been spayed or neutered. Animal Euthanasia: Euthanasia services are not offered at the Animal Control Centre for owners of pets wishing to have their animals euthanised. Unadopted animals or animals which are not suitable for adoption and which are the property of the Centre are euthanised by a local veterinarian. Unadopted animals may be placed in foster homes as an alternative to being euthanised when foster homes are available. Euthanasia services are performed twice weekly on a rotation basis by the local veterinarians. In exchange for veterinarian assistance and advice in this regard, the Animal Control Centre provides a removal service of dead animals from the local clinics in conjunction with the scheduled disposal run of dead animals from the Centre. Animals are currently disposed of in a controlled environment at the Metro Landfill Site. rt,5 ,, 2000 ANIMAL SERVICES ACTIVITY IN DURHAM REGION Stray cats impo~ded ] 90 142 (ii) 265 623 Unwanted cats su~endered 0 256 (ii) S~ay cats claimed < l 0 (ii) 22 14 Cats adopted 58 290 (ii) 50 395 Cats eu~anNed 138 27 S~ay dogs impounded t 73 239 (ii) 253 449 Unwanted dogs su~endered 0 181 ~iit 6 92 Stray dogs claimed 104 lgS (ii) 137 140 Dogs adopled 26 196 (ii) 30 284 Dogs euthan=ed 43 8 f, ii,) 105 17 Total number of cats and dogs a~itted 363 818 (ii) 542 1234 Total number of cats and dogs claimed ]09 208 tii) 159 154 Total number of cats and dogs adopted 84 486 (ii) 80 679 Total number of cats ~d do~s eu~anized 181 ~ s (ii) ~2S 134 Population 11,744 62,469 133,544 229,607 36,180 Budget (i) S 100,000 $295,244 (iii) $590,900 $112,100 $330,200 Per Capita Cost $8.51 $4.72 $2.47 $2.57 $3.09 Notes (ii) (iii) For comparison purposes, revenue from the sale of cat and dog tags has not been considered.
