Delegations 3.1 Ira Kagan, Kagan Shastri LLP, representing Triple Properties Re: Request for Minister's Zoning Order (MZO), Durham Live Lands Ira Kagan, Kagan Shastri LLP, appeared before Council representing Triple Properties. Mr. Kagan referenced a letter received by the City, dated May 6, 2020, from Don Given, Malone, Given, Parsons, Ltd., pertaining to the. City of Pickering making a request to the Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing to enact a Minister's Zoning Order (MZO) for the Durham Live Lands. He stated that an MZO would provide an opportunity for the City to advance the project more efficiently and would help to kick-start economic recovery and negate some of the negative impacts on businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Kagan stated that in the past, these requests to the Minister were infrequent, but that currently there are many MZO requests being made, but that the Minister would only consider the request with the consent of the local municipality. He advised that with an MZO, there were be no need for public hearings, and no ability for appeals which would allow a more timely start to the project. Mr. Kagan noted that Durham Live is expected to create 10,000 jobs, and that there is an opportunity to bring on a major land user for a logistics facility creating an additional 2,000 - 4,000 jobs in the City of Pickering. He further noted that the H3 would need to be lifted in order for the new logistics facility to proceed, and that this would also remove the requirement for a highway interchange on Church Street in Ajax. A question and answer period ensued between Members of Council and Ira Kagan regarding: • the timing for the new logistics facility and the earliest date that the end user could enter into a contract; • concerns with road alignment and ongoing work with the Town of Ajax, Region of Durham, and Durham Live Consultants regarding East/West collector roads and the removal of the proposed highway interchange; • construction timelines and anticipated completion dates; and, • the potential to request that the Minister expedite the process for MZO approval. 4.

Ms. Reid expressed her concerns relating to the lack of communication received from the management at the Home during the COVID-19 outbreak, noting that she first received news of the dire situation through a letter from another residents' family. She questioned why family members were not informed earlier about the outbreak, and why best practices from other long term care homes have not been followed. Ms. Reid also noted that Orchard Villa LTC and Retirement Residence has had numerous violations over the years. She questioned why the organization was not penalized for these violations, and how they were allowed to continue to operate. She noted that as of May 7th Orchard Villa had a total of 72 deaths, and that there should be a full investigation conducted into the outbreak. Resolution # 302/20 (iCN 6/ DICKERING Special Council Meeting Minutes May 13, 2020 Electronic Meeting 2:00 pm Moved by Councillor Brenner Seconded by Councillor Pickles That the rules of procedure be suspended to extend the delegation speaking time limit. Carried on a Two -Thirds Vote Ms. Reid continued with her delegation, questioning what Orchard Villa's plan for the outbreak was, whether food was being prepared on the long term side and sent to the retirement side, whether there was proper staff training in place, and when the facility called for help from the Province of Ontario, local hospitals and Ontario Health. She noted that she would like the Province to take over the management of the facility immediately, and that Southbridge Care Homes should lose their right to care for their families. A question and answer period ensued regarding the inspections conducted by the Province, and whether there were concerns that these inspections were not conducted annually or thoroughly, as required. June Morrison joined the electronic meeting via audio connection to express her concerns regarding how the outbreak at Orchard Villa LTC and Retirement Residence was managed.

She expressed concerns regarding various issues that she had experienced at Orchard Villa LTC and Retirement Residence, including a lack of communication regarding her father's health status, and that the Personal Support Workers were inattentive to his health status. Ms. Morrison noted that she learned about the COVID-19 outbreak through a media release, and that she was repeatedly told inaccurate information regarding the number of staff on duty, and the ongoing care of patients, and was extremely concerned for her father's welfare. She noted that health care workers from the Facility reached out to her anonymously to advise her of the appalling conditions of the Facility. Ms. Morrison further noted that her father was COVID-19 positive and subsequently passed away, but that she does not believe his COVID-19 diagnosis was the sole reason for his death. She noted that she is currently awaiting results from a formal autopsy, as there were indications that he was dehydrated and died from some form of starvation. Ms. Morrison requested a full investigation into the outbreak and deaths at Orchard Villa, as in her experience, duty of care was lacking, and her father's necessities of life were denied. Resolution # 303/20 Ply KERING Special Council Meeting Minutes May 13, 2020 Electronic Meeting 2:00 pm Moved by Councillor McLean Seconded by Councillor Butt That the rules of procedure be suspended to extend the delegation speaking time limit. Carried on a Two -Thirds Vote Ms. Morrison continued with her delegation, further noting that inspection failures should have been investigated by the Province, as she believes this would have changed the outcome of this outbreak. In addition, she expressed concerns with inaccuracies of death certificates and how they are being completed by the doctors. Ms. Morrison noted that a public inquiry ensures transparency in the process, and is independent from other levels of government and that changes were needed for all long term care facilities going forward. A question and answer period ensued regarding the lack of communication from Orchard Villa, and options for proceeding with a formal investigation. Further discussion ensued regarding the failure of the Province to conduct proper inspections, with Ms. Morrison noting that she had compiled a report that demonstrated numerous issues at Orchard Villa as far back as 15 years ago, and that she would share this report with Members of Council Cathy Parkes joined the electronic meeting via audio connection to express her concerns regarding how the outbreak at Orchard Villa LTC and Retirement Residence was managed. Ms. Parkes noted that her father had been an Orchard Villa resident since 2019, and had experienced numerous issues relating to staff - to -resident abuse, and that his phone was repeatedly disconnected, making him unable to contact his family. She expressed concerns that during the COVID-19 outbreak, her father was being served meals in the dining hall with other residents, and that there were limited staff members and none of the staff had personal protective equipment. Ms. Parkes further noted that she experienced great difficulties contacting staff to receive updates on her father's health once he had been diagnosed with COVID-19, but that she knew her father was suffering and was told she had to trust those caring for him. She noted that the management at Orchard Villa did not prepare for a pandemic, did not adequately train staff, and that she would like there to be a thorough investigation conducted, and for privately managed long term care homes to become a thing of the past. Carol Craigen joined the electronic meeting via audio connection to provide an overview of her mother's experience as a resident of Orchard Villa. Ms. Craigen noted that staff at the facility are dedicated, but need increased pay and benefits, C4 P1CKER1N(. Special Council Meeting Minutes May 13, 2020 Electronic Meeting 2:00 pm more training regarding personal protective equipment, and training on how to care for residents with special needs. She expressed concerns relating to the lack of communication with family members, noting that she should not have heard about the COVID-19 outbreak from the news, and that the facility should hire a dedicated staff whose sole responsibility is to communicate with family. In addition, Ms. Craigen stated that Southbridge Care Homes should be responsible for mandating and providing readily available personal protective equipment for all staff, and that there should be a higher quality of care for their residents. A discussion period ensued pertaining to the wording in the motion, specifically whether there should be increased clarity on having the investigation conducted through a public inquiry or by an independent commissioner, or if it was best to not narrow down a specific type of investigation that may be outside of the scope of the commissioners ability. Resolution # 304/20 Moved by Councillor McLean Seconded by Councillor Brenner That the main motion be amended by substituting Item 2 of the recommendation to read as follows: That the City of Pickering call on the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, who is empowered under the Public Inquiries Act, to establish a commission to conduct a public inquiry into the Orchard Villa Long Term Care and Retirement Home and other congregate facilities, to determine the causes for the particular devastating impact and the means to address and avoid such outbreaks and deaths in these public and private residences.
