Carroll -Director, Planning and Development G. Paterson -Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer B. Taylor - City Clerk (I) MINUTES Regular Meeting of April 10, 2000 (ll) DELEGATIONS 1. Phil Diamond, Chair, Cardiac Care Community Advisory Group, advised the Committee on the status of the campaign to bring cardiac surgery services to the Rouge Valley hospitals. He noted that since his last presentation in February of 1999, the Ministry of Health has established cardiac care centres in Mississauga to serve the residents of the western GTA and in Newmarket to serve the residents of the northern GTA. The eastern area of the GTA has the same population base as the western and northern areas but for some reason the Ministry of Health will not respond to his Group's recommendation to establish a cardiac care centre at Centenary Hospital. Both the capital and operating costs of establishing a cardiac care centre at Centenary Hospital would be much less than the costs experienced at the other two centres because much of the infrastructure and staffing is in place. • 1 - - 2 - - 2. John Sabean, representing Heritage Pickering'provided the Committee with an overview on the studies undertaken by Heritage Pickering on the Dillingham- Lamorie House and the Cleeve Home House. 3. Mark Stewart, representing Animal Licensing Services, addressed the Committee on the issue of the identification of cats and dogs. He noted that he has been contracted with the municipalities of Pickering, Ajax, Oshawa and Clarington and further noted that no other municipality in the GTA has approved lifetime licences. Animal tags are only designed to last one year, much the same as rabies tags. (III) MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION 1.
