REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Report Number: CS 22-05 Date: March 17, 2005 Fro m: Gillis A. Paterson Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer Subject: Section 357/358 of the MunicipalAct- Adjustment to Taxes Recommendation: 1. It is recommended that Report CS 22-05 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be received and that: 2. the write-offs of taxes as provided under Section 357/358 of the Municipal Act, 2001 be approved; and, 3. the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary action to give effect hereto. Executive Summary: Not Applicable Financial Implications: If approved, the write-off of taxes as contained in this report represents a gross cost of $1,743.07 with a net cost to the City of approximately $450.52, the balance being charged back to the Region of Durham and the School Boards. Pickering's share of the costs will be charged to the 2005 Current Budget allocation under General Government - Provision for Uncollectable Taxes. Background: The Municipal Act provides the Treasurer with various tax tools regarding the administration and collection of property taxes. Under the provisions of the new Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, Section 357 of the Act provides for the reduction of taxes due to fire, demolition, exemption, assessment change or error and the tax reduction is applicable to the current year only. Section 358 of the new Municipal Actallows for the reduction of taxes due to assessment error and this section can be applied to property taxes for the two preceding years (2003 & 2004). Change in realty tax class can translate into lower property taxes if the property went from industrial to commercial tax class or commercial to residential tax class. Demolitions, and other physical changes to a property, such as removing or filling in a swimming pool, or damage caused by fire result in a reduction in assessment and taxes.

This project will fulfil the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) as well as the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). The development of the lEA includes consultation with federal and provincial agencies, municipalities and the public to ensure that the environmental assessment process followed provides appropriate opportunities to address relevant issues. As part of our consultation plan, we have chosen to re-constitute the Community Advisory Group (CAG) from the EA Terms of Reference process. The CAG will be composed of approximately 18-25 individuals with balanced membership representing municipal, bnsiness, mobility, and environmental interests. The CAG will meet a minimum of 10 times throughout the estimated tln:ce year project period to provide advice to the Project Team on the Study. The composition of the CAG is intended to be sufficiently diverse to represent the range of different geographic and issue-based perspectives within the Region of Durham~ As you may recall, your municipality previously identified Paul Kelland to serve on the CAG for the EA Terms of Reference. We are requesting that each municipality either re-nominate their representative for the CAG or appoint a new representative. In considering your nomination, please bear in mind the following requirements: Express an interest and commitment to the project; Interest or experience in transpo~ation planning or the environment; and Willing to attend a minimum of 10 meetings over tl~e next 3 >;ears. ,iTO REPORT#,_.__ c S z '7 o ")" The first meeting of the Community Advisory Group has been scheduled as follows: Date: Time: Location: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. TSH Cafeteria (300 Water Street, Whitby) Please respond by April 13, 2005 with confirmation of the appointed member of the CAG to: Sabeen Khokhar, B.E.S.

For your convenience, a sample proclamation is provided for your consideration. Once again the'theme for this year's Seniors' Month is Act~'ve Living. The full slogan that has been chosen is Active Living: It's For Life. Seniors' Month is an excellent opportunity to pay tribute to men and women who continue to contribute so much to our communities. On behalf of the Ontario government, I hope you will join us in recognizing seniors in this province and plan events that recognize their contributions. We would like to hear about any events that you are planning, so that information can be pOsted on the Ontario Seniors' Secretariat Web site. An event form is also available on our Web site at www.gov.on.ca/citizenship/seniors under the Seniors' Month 2005 link. We would also appreciate knowing if your jurisdiction will proclaim June as Seniors' Month in your community. To help with your planning, you may want to consider hosting an Ontario Seniors' Seminar. These seminars were developed to provide seniors with valuable information on healthy aging and healthy lifestyles, and are available province-wide. Topics include "Safe Medication Use," Protect Your Money: Schemes, Scams and Flimflams," "Drive Wise" and "Advance Care Planning." For more information, contact the Seniors' InfoLine at 1-888-910-1999 (TTY 1-800-387-5559) or visit the Seniors' Secretariat Web site under the "seminars" link. Information about Seniors' Month will be posted on the OSS Web site as it becomes available. We will also be sending you promotional materials, including our annual poster, as we move closer to June. In the meantime, we encourage you to visit the Web site to keep informed on recent announcements affecting seniors. Please keep in touch, and keep us posted on what you are planning.
