The comment period closes February 3, 2006. RECOMMENDATION WHEREAS the Authority has previously supported the White Paper on Watershed Based Source Protection Planning, February 2004 by Resolution #A67/04 and the earlier proposed drinking water legislation (Drinking Water Source Protection Act, 2004)by Resolution #A224/04; WHEREAS the current proposed legislation is consistent with these earlier proposals; WHEREAS the province has provided funding to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), Credit Valley Conservation (CVC), and Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) as the CTC Watershed Region to undertake technical studies in support of source protection planning through Memorandum's of Agreement (MOA) approved by Resolution #A67/04 and Resolution #A241 /05; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the Authority supports the proposed Clean Water Act, 2005 and the role proposed for conservation authorities; THAT staff be authorized and directed to make comments through the Environmental Bill of Rights registry (EBR) process on behalf of TRCA and the CTC Watershed Region to the province in support of the Clean Water Act, 2005; THAT staff be directed to ir.cluds in the comments to the EBR a request for the opportunity to make a presentation in support of the Act before the Standing Committee of the Legislature, if and when the proposed Act is referred to committee for hearings; AND FURTHER THAT the Chair circulate the staff report and the EBR comments to the clerks, Chief Administrative Officers (CAO) and Mayors of municipalities in the CTC Watershed Region, and staff send copies to the General Managers of Credit Valley Conservation and Conservation Ontario, the CAO of Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and to the project managers for the other source protection watershed regions. r, �� �, r.� BACKGROUND The Minister of the Environment introduced the proposed Clean Water Act which received first reading on December 5, 2005. The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) is seeking comments through posting the legislation on the Environmental Bill of Rights registry. The proposed Act is designed to protect existing and future sources of drinking water through the local identification and assessment of drinking water threats and the development of a source protection plan that addresses these threats. The proposed Act is comprised of 5 parts. Part I—GenEral Part I of the legislation establishes source protection areas and requires that a source protection plan be developed for each area. Under proposed regulations, the CTC source protection area will be established as the source protection area for our region (1 of 19 areas proposed across the province), comprised of the CVC, CLOCA and TRCA jurisdictions. TRCA will be the lead conservation authority (the "source protection authority") and the will have the responsibility for facilitating the source protection planning process for this area. Part II— Preparation, Amendment and Review of Source Protection Plans This Part establishes the process for developing and approving source protection plans. As the lead authority, TRCA is responsible for establishing the multi-stakeholder Source Protection Committee (SPC) comprised of no more than 16 members for the CTC region. The chair of the SPC must be approved by the Minister of the Environment and appointed by Order-in-Council. The SPC is responsible for developing terms ot reference, an assessment report and a source protection plan for the CTC source protection area. It is anticipated that the SPC will be supported by a number of technical working groups. Under the current MOA (including 100% funding) with Conservation Ontario and the province, TRCA, CVC and CLOCA are preparing the background technical reports which will be part of the basis for the assessment report required by the SPC. The assessment report identifies the watersheds in the source protection area, the vulnerable areas within the watershed, and assesses the drinking water threats in each vuinerable area in order to determine which threats constitute significant drinking water threats. The assessment report must be submitted by the SPC to the Source Protection Authority (SPA) for approval, who submit it subsequently to the MOE Director for approval. It is mandatory that the SPC consult with municipalities when the Terms of Reference for the Assessment report are prepared, on the assessment report before it is submitted for approval and also on the source protection plan prior to submission for approval. It is mandatory to make the report available to the public when it is submitted to MOE. Within the CTC region, it is our intention to consult fully with municipalities and to seek their agreement in the establishment of the SPC and also in obtaining municipal council endorsement of reports and source protection plans before these are submitted to the province. �� Following approval of the assessment report, the SPC is responsible for preparing a source protection plan (SPP). The SPP sets out policies intended to ensure that all current and future activities that pose, or may pose, a significant drinking water threat (as identified in the assessment report) cease to pose or to become a significant risk. Further, activities or specific land uses prescribed by regulation which occur in a well-head protection area or a surface water intake zone, may be designated for the purpose of specific provisions of Part IV. it is mandatory for the SPC to consult with municipalities. Part III—Effect of Source Protection Plans The Act requires municipalities to conform their Official Plans, zoning by-laws and prescribed instruments that relate to significant drinking water threats, with the SPP. In the case of a conflict between the source protection plan and other provincial plans such as the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan or Greenbelt Plan, the provisions most protective of the quality and quantity of drinking water prevail. Decisions under the Planning Act and the Condominium Act, 1998, must conform to the SPP. Finally, the Minister can require the appropriate legal authority to bring any non-conforming instrument prescribed by a regulation that relates to a significant drinking water threat into conformity with the SPP. Part IV — Regulation of Drinking Water Threats The municipality that has authority to make by-laws under the Municipal Act, 2001 for the production, treatment and storage of water is responsible for enforcement. This responsibility may be delegated by agreement to conservation authorities. The body responsible for enforcing Part IV must appoint a permit official and permit inspectors to administer the provisions of this Part. Municipalities may order the development of risk management plans where an activity has been prescribed by regulation and the report has found that the activity constitutes a significant drinking water threat in a welihead protection area or a surface water intake protection zone. Appeals can be made to the Environmental Review Tribunal. A person is required to comply with a risk management pian and failure to do so is an offence. Part IV requires a person planning to build or get approval for specific land uses designated in the SPP to have the permit official review the proposal to ensure compiiance before the proposai is approved under the Planning Act or the person obtains a permit under the Building Code Act. Part IV provides authority to issue, amend, renew and revoke permits, issue enforcement orders, powers of entry and to cause the work to be done at the person's expense. It also provides for appeals to the Environmental Review Tribunal. Part V — Other Matters An important item for the CTC Watershed Region is the authority for the Minister of the Environment to set targets for the Great Lakes as a source of drinking water. ���� Part V also establishes obligations on various public bodies to share information related to the SPP process and the authority for the Director to establish technical rules in relation to assessment reports, risk assessments and risk management plans. The province is planning to post draft guidance documents on the EBR for comment in the near future. Technical staff have been consulted on earlier drafts and CTC technicai work currently underway is being carried out in accordance with most recent draft guidance. Regulation-making authority is provided to the Minister for certain matters and a more general regulation-making authority is given to the Lieutenant Governor in Councit. Part V includes a general conflict provision that provides that in case of a confiict between the Clean Water Act, 2005 and a provision of another Act or a regulation made under another Act, the provision that provides the greatest protection to a drinking water source prevaiis. In addition there is a specific conflict provision in relation to the Nutrient Management Act, 2002, which provides that in case of a conflict between a provision of the Clean Water Act, 2005 and a provision of the Nutrient Management Act, 2002, a regulation or an instrument under that Act, the provision of the Clean Water Act, 2005 prevails. Note that nothing in the Clean Water Act, 2005 affects the conflict provision in the Nutrient Management Act, 2002 in relation to municipai by-laws. Finally, Part V includes an offence provision, largely for the purpose of enforcing Part IV and penalties with maximums from $25,000 to $100,000 per day. This Bill amends other legislation. Amendments to the Building Code Act authorize the establishment by regulation of maintenance inspection programs for septic systems. They also allow for the establishment of other types of maintenance inspection programs, and makes compiimentary amendments to the Pianning Act, the Conservation Authorities Act and the Consolidated Hearings Act. Staff Comments The legislation is consistent with the recommendations made previously by Conservation Ontario and TRCA on the White Paper and earlier draft legisiation. Details will be contained in future regulations and it is difficult to comment at this time on whether or not we would recommend supporting all the provisions to be included in these regulations. The addition of provisions to consider cur� ent and potential source impacts on the Great Lakes intakes and for municipalities to designate ciusters of private well or surface water sites for protection as municipal drinking water suppiies is a considerable improvement. Both of these are important considerations within the CTC source protection region. The province also has announced grant money for studies related to the Great Lakes among other priorities. The CTC region may submit to MOE a grant proposal in cooperation with our municipal partners to develop an assessment and model for ongoing assessment of potential impacts to drinking water in the western basin of Lake Ontario. J� The legislation does not provide any powers to fund the required activities of the Source Protection Committee, the Source Protection Authority, the mandatory monitoring and annual reporting or plan amendments. MOE staff has advised that it is the government's intention that municipalities (who are responsible for implementing the SPPs) will use new taxing powers through the Sustainab/e WaterandSewageAct, 2002to recover costs and to achieve fuil-cost accounting for water and sewage services. it is not clear how the SPC and SPA will be paid although to date the province has been paying 100% of the costs of the technical studies being carried out by conservation authorities through the MOA with Conservation Ontario & the Ministry of Naturai Resources. This matter wiil be raised in the comments on EBR. In summary, the draft Clean WaterAct, 2005is a positive legislative initiative which will greatly increase the powers of municipalities to protect current and future drinking water sources. The roles identified for conservation authorities strengthen and build on their current roles and expertise in watershed management and working effectively with municipal partners and other watershed stakeholders. The legislation confers new responsibilities in protecting human heaith through helping protect drinking water sources.

TRCA has been designated as the lead authority for the proposed CTC Source Protection Region comprised of Credit Valley Conservation, Central Lake Onfario Conservation Authority and TRCA per your draft regulation EBR Registry Number: RA05E0022. The Authority Resolution reads as follows: WHEREAS the Aufhority has previously supported the White Paper on Watershed Based Source Protection P/anning, February 2004 by Resolution #A67/04 and the earlier proposed drinking water legislation (Drinking Water Source Protection Act, 2004)by Resolution #A224/04; WHEREAS the current proposed legislation is consistenf with these earlier proposals; WHEREAS the province has provided funding to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), Credit Val/ey Conservation (CVC), and Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) as the CTC Watershed Region to undertake fechnica! studies in support of source protection planning through Memorandum's of Agreement (MOA) approved by Resotution #A67/04 and Resolution #A241/05; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the Authority supports the proposed Clean WaterAct, 2005 and the role proposed for conservation authorities; THAT staff be authorized and directed to make comments th�ough the Environmental Bill of Rights registry (EBR) process on behalf of TRCA and the CTC Watershed Region to the province in support of the Clean Water Act, 2005; THAT sfaff be directed to include in fhe comments to the EBR a request for the opportunity to make a presentation in support of the Act before the Standing Committee of the Legislature, if and when the proposed Act is referred to commiftee for hearings; THAT the Chair circulate the staff report and the EBR comments to the clerks, Chief Administrative O�cers (CAO) and Mayors of municipalities in the CTC Watershed Region, and staff send copies to the General Managers of Credif l/alley Conservafion and Conservation Ontario, the CAO of Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and to the project managers for the other source protection wafershed regions; �a�w«.trca.o�.l.ca � SoU R�E ��1IATE� : : '�� _{t�.

Firstly, we wish to compliment the ministry on the proposed IP�islation. In particular we arE: very pleased to note that this Act has two new provisions that are of particular importance to protecting drinking water sources with�n the CTC Region. The addition of provisions to include assessment and protection of drinking water sources in the Great Lakes is extremely important given the large number of Ontarians who depend upon water supplies in one or more of the Great Lakes and connecting channels. Furthermore, providing municipalities with the option of designating a collection of private wells as an area subject to the same protections as municipal wellheads will be extremely important in protecting a number of vulnerable areas. We're pleased that the conservation authority is formally recognized as having an important partnership role in protecting the source of drinking water. We look forward to continue to work with our municipal partners and watershed residents in undertaking the technical work needed to develop source protection plans, and our new role as a source protection authority working with the proposed source protecfion planning committee. We have been undertaking the background technical work mandated and funded by the province through memorandum of agreement since November 2004. Considerable progress has been achieved so far and we are committed to continue on this important endeavour. We, however, are concerned that the role of the lead conservation authority as the Source Protection Authority with responsibilities to make annual reports, to monitor, fo support the formation and ongoing administrative support for the Source Protection Planning Committee who must prepare assessment reports, source protection plans, consult with the public and the municipalities and review and update the plan at time periods to be determined by the ministry, will require sustainable funding. The legislation does not provide the powers nor an indication as to how this work will be funded. It is essential that the ministry provides the conservation authority with sufficient funds to carry out these tasks. In conclusion, we would request an opportunity to make a presentation before the Standing Committee of the Legislature when the Bill is referred for hearings after second reading. Should you have any questions or require clarification please do not hesitate to contact me at 416-661-6600 extension 5238 or Beverfey Thorpe, CTC Source Protection Manager at 416-484-1807.

The top students from these Regional Fairs then represent Ontario at the Canada-Wide Science Fair, where they compete against students and their projects from across the country. Regional fairs are organized by non- profit groups and staffed by dedicated volunteers who raise funds, judge projects, run the events and support and coach th� stsrients. Th�se groups, and the young scientists who take part in the fairs, are the beneficiaries of Sci-Tech Ontario's support. Youth Science Mont{a is an annual event to celebrate the 170,000 young scientists in Ontario taking part in local and regional fairs during the month of I�larch. This event is just one part of a national awareness campaign by Youth Science Foundation Canada in recognition of the 500,000 students taking pari in fairs across Canada. 302 Brookwood F31vd., VJhitby, Ontario, C,1 R 2A3 TcUTeI : 416 598-8827 Fax/ Telec : 905 430-0283 Email/Courriel : info@scitechontario.org wwwscitechontario.org REPORTS — NEW AND UNFINISHED March 20, 2006 PAGE � �� Director, Operations & Emergency Services, Report OES 14-06 37-53 Tender for Cleaning Services Tender No. T-1-2006 Fite: A-2130-001-06 1.

Paterson Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer REPORT TO COUNCIL Report Number: CS 17-06 Date: March 20, 2006 Notice of Application for a Liquor Licence "Jukebox Live" — 1211 Kingston Road, Pickering Recommendation: That Report CS 17-06 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer and Director, Planning & Development be received for information. Executive Summary: At the Executive (Budget) Committee meeting held on March 14, 2006, staff were requested to provide information with respect to the re-opening of the business municipally located at 1211 Kingston Road, Pickering, under the business name of "Jukebox Live", and the corresponding liquor licence application. Background: The City Clerk received an official notice from the owner, of an application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission for a liquor licence for the establishment to be known as "Jukebox Live", municipally located at 1211 Kingston Road, Pickering (see Attachment #1). The role of the City Clerk is to indicate on the application if the area where the establishment is to be located is: Wet (spirits, beer, wine); Damp (beer and wine only); or Dry. As there are no `damp/dry' areas within the City, the Clerk identified this location as `wet' and forwarded the application to the Commission. Further, the application clearly states the following: "Note: Specific concerns regarding zoning, non-compliance with by-laws or general objections to the application, by Council or elected municipal representatives, must be outlined, in a separate submission or letter within 30 days of this notification". The notification was received on March 2, 2006, therefore, there are 30 days from this point whereby the City can submit objections. The process that is established within the City is that upon sign off by the City Clerk, a copy is immediately provided to the Planning & Development Department which investigates the application to ensure that zoning and site plan are in compliance. If there are concerns with respect to these Report CS 17-06 Date: March 20, 2006 Subject: Liquor Licence Application —"Jukebox Live" Page 2 �� matters, a formal letter on behalf of the City is forwarded to the Alcohol & Gaming Commission in accordance with the 30 day notification period. Staff are aware of the previous concerns of this subject property when it operated as a nightclub business, formerly known as 4PIay and Aqua Lounge. While these businesses were in operation there were numerous complaints such as: loud noise, fights and guns being discharged, excessive drinking by the patrons, noise on the outdoor patio areas and powerful searchlights. A large number of these complaints were documented within our Customer Care tracking system and significant staff time was allocated to resolving the complaints. In the correspondence to the Alcohol & Gaming Commission dated February 23, 2006, and included as Attachment #2 to this report, Councillors Dickerson and McLean have indicated their strong opposition to this application, and provided detailed particulars related to the past business establishments. A further letter sent to residents dated February 24, 2006 has also been included as Attachment #3 to this report. It should be noted that the new owner is co-operating with staff with respect to planning concerns. The Planning & Development Department advises that the property is zoned to allow a restaurant use with outdoor patio area. Ms. Suzan Selimovska (representing the new business) preconsulted with the Planning & Development Department in February 2006 respecting a change in signage for the front face of the building and the introduction of an entry canopy. Application for sign permits etc. have all been received by the City in order for the owner to be in compliance with City regulations. It has been brought to the attention Ms. Selimovska by P&D that the existing outdoor patio design does not comply with the approved site plan. Previous owner(s) undertook changes to the patio area that brought the installation out of compliance with the approved drawings. We understand that Ms. Selimovska intends to rectify this matter by either bringing the patio into conformity with approved drawings or submitting revised plans for the City's consideration and approval. In the event that Council wishes to formally oppose the application, then Council should pass a resolution to that effect in order to meet the timeline for reporting of April 2, 2006. A sample resolution is noted as follows: a) That the Council of the City of Pickering strongly object to the liquor licence application of the establishment known as "Jukebox Live'; municipally located at 1211 Kingston Road, Pickering, unless concerns of the City of Pickering are clearly addressed; and b) That the City C/erk notify the Alcohol & Gaming Commission accordingly. Please note, that Council collectively or individually can provide their written general objection to the application to the Alcohol & Gaming Commission.

The options previously discussed are: 1) Set target to convert a specific percentage of fleet to green vehicles 2) Voluntary conversion to green plates 3) Introduction of green "ambassador" plates by City Page 1 CORP0228-2/02 �J The difficulty in ensuring compliance with setting targets was discussed, as with the existence of so many independent owners, there would be no way to dictate who had to meet the target. A voluntary conversion to a green vehicle was feasible, however, existing plate owners would not want to give up a "regular" plate to change it to green, as there may be financial repercussions relating to the value of the plate for future sale. Mr. Kumar suggested green ambassador plates be assigned to drivers in the industry who do not own plates, rather than to brokerages. It was suggested that green plates must be placed on full size vehicles only. It was also suggested that an incentive in the manner of reduced licensing fees be offered to taxicab plate owners to convert their vehicles to green vehicles Concerns expressed that many of the hybrid cars available are not full size vehicles. The Chair noted that at the last meeting, the taxicab industry commented that there are already too many plates issued based on the population ratio. The understanding was that each company was to identify the percentage of vehicles from their fleet to be converted as green vehicles by a certain date. The City would respect this and an agreement would be drafted to be included in the revised bylaw. However, as previously mentioned this would be difficult to enforce. Further discussion followed with respect to ambassador plates. It was suggested that these types of plates should be rented out to drivers rather than being sold by permit. Some indicated that they couldn't afford to pay for new plates and the conversion to green vehicles. The new plates should only be issued to drivers who have never owned a plate. The purpose of the Green plates was stated to promote a commitment to reducing emissions and protecting the environment.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) may be the best o tion for reen lates. 4.0- First Aid & CPR Trainin Gost Kim Thompson advised that First Aid & CPR is now a standard requirement in most municipalities for taxicab operators. The City will be offering a 2-day course at a cost of $75 per person. This is a great opportunity since the regular cost ranges from $105 to $115. This will be incorporated into the new taxicab by-law as a requirement for a taxicab driver's license. The Chair mentioned that there are a lot of changes in the taxicab industry in the GTA and that we must continue to be progressive to meet the needs and level of service. This training is also beneficial for the drivers and their family. CARRIED PENDING RATIFICATION 5.0 Plate Leasin Presentation A copy of the City of Mississauga's Plate Leasing regulations was distributed to committee members for their review. The City of Pickering is proposing to implement the same policy. CARRIED PENDING RATIFICATION 6.0 Other Items ' Kim Thompson advised that the next meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 22, 2006, would focus on the draft Taxicab Bylaw that outlines the City's responsibility for administration and enforcement. Concerns were raised with regards to the language barrier for testing for the Durham College Taxicab training course. The Chair advised that Durham College is working closely with the industry to eliminate language barriers and that whenever required a translator could be provided to ensure that they understand the questions. The same test will be given to all students, regardless of their language skills. It was noted that some drivers have language barriers in communicating with customers. Drivers must be able to provide service in English. Page 3 CORP0228-2/02 �� Copy: Members of Council CAO Clerk Page 4 CORP0228-2/02
