the costs to be excessively high. Discussion ensued on the
various costs quoted in the report. Jim noted that a good
percentage of the work involved is for general ongoing
maintenance, and that the report does not reflect this or
provide a breakdown of current and long term repairs.
Jim also noted that Del Property Management had sent the
tenants an eviction notice. At this time, the tenants are still
residing there.
Debi noted that Del had been sent a copy of the resolution
from the last meeting and we have not heard back from
them at this time.
Jim suggested that this item be tabled to allow the Shirley to provide three
Committee members time to review the report. It was also names to Debi
suggested they have a home inspector go in at a cost of
approximately $350.00.
It was also suggested that we notify the consultant as well
as Del to inform them that we will be sending in a home
inspector. Also, it was suggested that we set up a meeting
with them to go over the report, once the Committee has
had the opportunity to review it first.

Debi Bentley provided a power point presentation on
Heritage Inventory Registry. She noted that a Council
resolution is required for properties of interest and
suggested we begin with some properties for the
October/November agenda.
It was suggested that an afternoon be set aside to
categorize the photos. Once we have a draft of what we
would like on the website, we could then hold a special
meeting with Council to launch our revised section of the
website.
It was suggested that we look into potential grants. This Pamela to look into
would possibly enable us to have a summer student next available grants
year.

Details & Discussion & Conclusion
(summary of discussion)
Pamela indicated she has a listing of the cemeteries.
Debi also provided the Committee with an overview of the
City's On Point application system for mapping. She noted
that this application was an opportunity for future
development.
Karen indicated she has the line drawings for maps for
heritage buildings that could be utilized on the web.
Debi also provided an online review of samples of the
Heritage Committee websites from various municipalities. It
was the general consensus that the website from
Mississauga best reflects what we would like to have set up
for our website for Heritage Pickering. We also viewed the
Township of Scugog's website for Heritage plaques.

Supportinq Heritaqe in Your Community
Debi provided a power point presentation. She explained
this was a good template provided by the Ministry of Culture
in which municipalities could create their own version by
adding in their own pictures, etc. and the template is a good
educational tool for the Committee.
Debi thanked everyone for their feedback on preparing a
Heritage inventory for our City.
It was questioned whether the Regional level had a pooling
of resources available for municipalities.
Gordon informed the Committee that the Veteran's plaque
at Queen's Park has an imposed picture in the background
with the names in front. It was suggested we contact
Wayne Arthur's office to inquire about this. Possibly we
could incorporate something similar into our plaques, with
the City logo imposed in the background.
It was suggested that Debi and Gordon meet to discuss the
creation of a spreadsheet for properties for the website
possibly after the August long weekend.
Gordon noted that he could have a condensed version of
the Seaton Reports available with respect to heritage
buildings.
