4. Eileen Higdon
Re: Notice of Motion
Councillor Dickerson's Appointments to Veridian and as Deputy Mayor
Eileen Higdon appeared before Council to express her support of the Notice of Motion
regarding Councillor Dickerson's appointments as Deputy Mayor and on Veridian Board.
She questioned the Councillor's ability to perform these duties, stating questionable ethics.
She noted her disappointment in the fact that he was allowed to continue in these positions,
which has resulted in the mistrust of politicians and a-lack of accountability to taxpayers.
Ms. Higdon questioned that with four out of five members being elected officials, how could
this be a reflection of Pickering, stating a need for balance between businesses and the
community. She also noted that her previous request for answers to questions raised
regarding the Veridian Board annual general meeting had been denied and questioned how
to access information regarding salaries and expense accounts.
A brief question and answer period ensued.
5. Mike Bode
Re: Notice of Motion
Councillor Dickerson's Appointments to Veridian and as Deputy Mayor
Mike Bode appeared before Council in support of the Notice of Motion regarding Councillor
Dickerson's appointments as Deputy Mayor and on Veridian Board. He outlined the history
of the process which had taken place over the past 3 years, noting the mounting costs as it
proceeded. He stated that when this was brought before the Audit Committee, it was the
decision of the Committee that Councillor Dickerson should be prosecuted. He noted the
expectations that residents have of members of Council and quoted the City's Code of
Conduct. He noted that Councillor Dickerson should know the Municipal Elections Act and
questioned how many other times he had filed incorrectly. He also questioned what
amendments he had proposed and what steps he has taken if he feels the Act is unclear.
He stated Councillor Dickerson should step down from the Veridian Board, and as Deputy
Mayor, resign his seat on Council and repay the City of Pickering.
A brief question and answer period ensued.
6. David Steele
Re: Notice of Motion
Councillor Dickerson's Appointments to Veridian and as Deputy Mayor
David Steele appeared before Council in support of the Notice of Motion regarding
Councillor Dickerson's appointments as Deputy Mayor and on Veridian. He noted that
Councillor Dickerson had ample opportunity to state he was wrong and settle up. He also
noted that after the Judge's ruling, which indicated no ambiguity in the Municipal Elections
3

Act, he should have had the integrity to step down, but chose to continue, resulting in
increasing costs to taxpayers. Mr. Steele questioned why the Councillor has not resigned
his position. He stated that if Council continues to support the Councillor, they are in
complete complicity with him.
A brief question and answer period ensued.
7. Ian Cumming
Re: Notice of Motion
Councillor Dickerson's Appointments to Veridian and as Deputy Mayor
Ian Cumming appeared before Council in support of the Notice of Motion regarding
Councillor Dickerson's appointments as Deputy Mayor and on Veridian. He noted that once
concerns had been brought to the Audit Committee, had the Councillor provided an
admission of guilt at that time, it most likely would have ended there, saving the City money.
He stated that through the entire process, all that was heard was that the Act was unclear
and confusing. He stated facts had proven that the Municipal Elections Act is not
ambiguous. He questioned Council's credibility in not acknowledging his guilt prior to to
Court proceedings, and why he was allowed to continue on, noting that in any other civic
job he would have been on restricted duties until such time as the case had been heard.
A question and answer period ensued.

Whereas: subsequent to the public release of the 2010 Municipal Election Financial
Statements, the City of Pickering received several requests for an audit of Councillor
Dickerson's election finances. The independent and Provincially mandated Ontario
Municipal Elections Act Audit Compliance Committee for the City of Pickering met to review
the audit requests made by residents of Pickering and ultimately ordered a full audit of
Councillor Dickerson's 2010 election finances; and
Whereas: Councillor Dickerson appealed the Compliance Audit Committee's decision for
an audit of his 2010 election finances. On December 21, 2011 Justice P.L. Bellefontaine
released his ruling on the audit appeal filed by Councillor Dickerson's attorney. Justice
Bellefontaine agreed with the Compliance Audit Committee's decision and ordered an audit
of Councillor Dickerson's 2010 election finances; and
Whereas: in May 2012 an independent auditor reviewed Councillor Dickerson's 2010
election financial statement and found numerous contraventions to the Ontario Municipal
Elections Act; and
Whereas: on February 27, 2012 Councillor Dickerson was charged with five offenses under
the Ontario Municipal Elections Act on behalf of the City of Pickering's Compliance Audit
Committee; and
Whereas: on July 19, 2013 Councillor.Dickerson pled guilty to Ontario Municipal Elections
Act violations for his 2010 municipal election which ultimately cost the taxpayers for the City
of Pickering approximately $266,000 in audit and legal fees; and
Whereas: the City of Pickering's Council Code of Conduct policy objective dated March
2012 is intended to complement the oath of office sworn by each Member of Council of the
City of Pickering. The Council Code of Conduct policy objective reads with the following;
- Members are committed to performing their duties of office and arranging their
private affairs, in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity of each Member
and respect for Council as a whole;
- Members are committed to acting and being seen to act with integrity and
impartiality that will bear the closest scrutiny;
- Members are committed to avoiding waste, abuse and extravagance in the
provision and use of any of the City's resources.
Now therefore be it resolved;
That the Council for the Corporation for the City of Pickering acknowledges the Ontario
Municipal Election Act violations committed by Councillor Dickerson and therefore rescinds
his appointment as Deputy Mayor and Veridian representative for the City of Pickering.

Moved by Councillor McLean
Seconded by Councillor Rodrigues
Whereas: the residents of the Maple Ridge Neighbourhood have expressed safety
concerns with traffic and safe opportunities for pedestrians to cross Maple Ridge Drive
between Dixie Road and Finch Avenue.
Whereas: there are a number of amenities for pedestrians to access including: two
elementary schools; Maple Ridge Public School and St. Isaac Jogues Catholic School;
Maple Ridge Park, and Maple Ridge Plaza, that necessitate crossing Maple Ridge Drive.
Whereas: there is presently only one stop sign location at the intersection of Maple Ridge
Drive and Bushmill Street that provides for a safe crossing location, and that this
intersection is too far out of the way and impractical for most pedestrians crossing to the
amenities.
Now therefore be it resolved;
1. That staff be directed to review the matter regarding frequent pedestrian crossings of
Maple Ridge Drive and other traffic calming measures to determine opportunities of
safe crossing points through the establishment of stop signs or other means.
2. Maple Ridge Drive at
a) Harvest Street or Fieldstone Drive
b) Maple Ridge Drive and Pebblestone Crescent
3. That staff report back to Council as soon as practical with a summary of their
investigation, including a proposed by-law for the placement of new stop sign
