Background: The City entered into Subdivision Agreements with the above-noted developers for the development of Plans 40M-1347, 40M-1472, 40M-1473 and 40M-1571. As the developers have now completed all works and services within these Plans to the satisfaction of City staff, it is now appropriate to assume the M-Plans under the jurisdiction of the City and release the developers from the provisions of the respective Subdivision Agreements. The assumption of Plans 40M-1347, 40M-1472, 40M-1473 and 40M-1571 and the~' release of the Subdivision Agreements must be acknowledged by the enactment of various By-laws assuming the roads and services within the Plans, amending By-law 1416/82 relating to Places of Amusement, and authorizing the release and removal of the Subdivision Agreements from title.

It has been named and dedicated as public highway by By-laws 1773/84 and 1774/84 respectively and is therefore already considered assumed under the jurisdiction of the City of Pickering. Accordingly, it is recommended that the following By-laws be enacted to: dedicate Block 114, Plan 40M-1473 as public highway; assume roads and/or services within Plans 40M-1347, 40M-1472, 40M-1473 (save and except Block 113) and 40M-1571 (save and except Blocks 155, 160, 161,162 and 163); amend By-law 1416/82 (Places of Amusement) to include the roads within Plans 40M-1472, 40M-1473 and 40M-1571; and authorize the release and removal of the Subdivision Agreements from title relating to Plans 40M-1347, 40M-1472, 40M-1473 and 40M-1571.

REPORT TO EXECUTIVE COMMITTE Report Number: OES 40-04 Date: November 30, 2004 From: Richard W.Holborn, P. Eng. Division Head, Municipal Property and Engineering Subject: No Parking By-law Amendment to By-law 2359/87 File: Begley Street and Tanzer Court Recommendations: That Report OES 40~04 regarding a proposed amendment of the parking by-law 2359/87 be received; and That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule 'B' to By-law 2359/87 to provide for the regulating of parking, standing, and stopping on highways or parts of highways under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering and on private and municipal property. Executive Summary: In order to improve visibility, traffic flow and safety on Begley Street and Tanzer Court an amending by-law is being proposed, which prohibits on- street parking along specific sections of the streets. A Community Outreach Letter and Map were distributed to residents that were affected by the amending by-law. Results indicate public support for these proposed no-parking restrictions. The attached by- laws, once adopted, must be enforced on a regular basis to be effective. Financial Implications: The acquisition and installation of no parking signs, costing approximately $800 can be accommodated within the Roads current budget account 2320-2409. Background: Recently, staff investigated neighbourhood concerns regarding the difficulties caused by the presence of on-street parking along Begley Street and Tanzer Court. In order to improve traffic flow, eliminate vehicular conflicts with parked vehicles and increase area visibility (therefore safety) on Begley Street and Tanzer Court, staff are hereby proposing to implement on street parking controls. The amending by-law as proposed, which if passed, will prohibit on-street parking on the east side of Begley Street, the north and east side of Tanzer Court from Begley Street to Wayfarer Lane, and the south side of Tanzer Court from Begley Street to Albacore Manor. Report OES 40-04 Parking By-law Amendment November 30, 2004 Page 2 As a recommended practice, a Community Outreach program was initiated to inform affected residents of a proposed by-law. The residents were given an opportunity to provide comments and voice their support or opposition by completing and returning the letter request form. Eighty one (81) letters were distributed to residents of Tanzer Court and Albacore Manor of which twenty two (22) were returned. Results of the survey were sixteen (16) replies in support of the restrictions as proposed, four (4) replies in support of restrictions at alternate locations and two (2) replies noting opposition to any on street parking controls. The above results indicate that the no-parking by-law on Tanzer Coud was well received and generally supported by the public that responded. If approved, this by-law must receive regular enforcement to be effective.

PICKERING REPORT TO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Report Number: OES 41-04 Date: December 9, 2004 From: Richard Holborn, P.Eng. Division Head, Municipal Property & Engineering Subject: No Parking By-law Amendment to By-law 2359/87 File: Glengrove Road Recommendations: That Report OES 41-04 regarding a proposed amendment of the parking by-law 2359/87 be received; and That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule 'A' to by-law 2359/87 to provide for the regulating of parking, standing, and stopping on highways or parts of highways under the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the City of Pickering and on private and municipal property. Executive Summary: In order to improve traffic flow and safety on Glengrove Road fronting Glengrove Public School an amending by-law is being proposed, which prohibits stopping along a specific section of Glengrove Road. Financial Implications: The manufacture and installation of signs, costing approximately $400 can be accommodated within the Roads current budget account 2320-24O9. Background: In Ontario, new initiatives are being used to address the various safety problems that are typically associated with the large volume of parent vehicular traffic accessing schools. The 'Kiss and Ride' program has been specially designed to address the safety concerns associated with school and residential community traffic. The 'Kiss and Ride' zone is an area allocated to drop-off and pick-up students in the parking lot of the school. These zones facilitate the safe coordinated arrival and departure of parent vehicle traffic on school property without creating traffic congestion on municipal roadways. Report OES 41-04 Subject: Parking By-law Amendment Date: December 9, 2004 Page 2 In response to Chairperson, Glengrove Public School Community Council inquiries, staff of the Operations & Emergency Services Department, Municipal Property & Engineering Division recently investigated and evaluated traffic movement operations on Glengrove Road adjacent to Glengrove Public School. Site visits confirm that there is a high level of unsafe traffic and pedestrian crossing movements resulting from the high volumes of parent vehicle traffic accessing the property during the morning and afternoon periods. The school has addressed these problems to the City and Durham Regional Police, and we suggested the 'Kiss and Ride' program to the school administration. Glengrove Public School implemented the 'Kiss and Ride' program in September 2004. To promote smooth, organized and efficient movement of vehicular traffic on and around the school property and to improve visibility sightlines and turning radii for traffic entering and exiting the school property and "Kiss and Ride" zone, the proposed by-law amendment is required. The passing of the by-law will also eliminate the occurrences of pedestrians walking between parked or stopped cars. The by-law amendment will prohibit "stopping" along the south side of Glengrove Road from Glenview Road to 130 metres west of Glenview Road. The by-law amendment is to be in effect for Monday.to Friday, from 7:30 am to 9:00 am and from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm. A community outreach letter was sent to the six area residents informing them about the proposed by-law amendment, the residents have raised no concerns. If approved, by- law must receive regular enforcement to be effective. Attachments: 1. Location Map 2.

Paterson Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer Subject: 2005 Interim Levy and Interim Installment Due Dates Recommendation: It is recommended that Report CS 02-05 of the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be received and that: 2. an interim levy be adopted for 2005 for all of the realty property classes; 3. the interim levy installment due dates be February 25 and April 28, 2005; the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer be authorized to make any changes or undertake any actions necessary, including altering due dates, in order to ensure the tax billing process is completed; the attached By-law, providing for the imposition of the taxes, be read three times and passed by Council; and, the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the necessary actions to give effect thereto. Executive Summary: Each year, prior to the adoption of the estimates for the year, Council authorizes the adoption of an interim levy. Under Provincial legislation, the interim levy can be no more than 50% of the previous years annualized taxes. In other words, if a property experienced an assessment increase, due to an additional supplementary or omitted assessment, or a decrease in assessment due to an appeal, demolition or class change, the 2005 interim levy would be based on the adjusted annualized 2004 taxes. The tax levy raises funds that are used for the continuing operations of the City, Region and the School Boards. Report CS 02-05 Date: Subject: 2005 Interim Levy and Interim Installment Due Dates De'cember 14, 2004 Page 2 57 Financial Implications: Adoption of the recommendations and passing the By-law will allow staff of the Corporate Services Department to bill the 2005 interim levy to all properties. Passing of the By-law will assist the City of Pickering to meet its financial obligations and reduce any borrowing costs. (The first school board payment is due on March 31,2005) Background: In accordance with the legislation mentioned above, the City issues interim tax bills based on the previous year's annualized taxes. The annual assessment update of all properties in Ontario that was to have come into effect for the 2005 Tax Year, was cancelled. As a result, there will be no change to the assessments used in 2004 except for properties that have undergone a change since the last assessment update, as mentioned above. Changes to the Billing Schedule Recommendation 4, will allow the Director of Corporate Services & Treasurer some latitude, limited by Provincial legislation, in effecting whatever may be necessary in order to ensure that the taxes are billed properly and in a timely fashion. It was always staff's understanding that Recommendation 4 would be.used to change the due dates by a few days in order to meet Provincial legislation requirements. (Section 343, subsection one of the Municipal Act states the property owner must have at least twenty-one days to pay their taxes,) A report would be prepared to Council if there was a substantial delay in the billing of the interim taxes.

One such "Citizen Involved" Crime Prevention Program is Neighbourhood Watch. It is a program which employs an elegantly simple technique of"neighbours looking out for neighbours" to reduce threats of crime against potential victims. This letter is to introduce you to a group of concerned citizens who want to get involved in such a program. Through persistence, devotion and hard work, these people have made an honourable effort to form a Neighbourhood Watch within their community. They have met all criteria as set out in the Durham Regional Police Service "Neighbourhood Watch Guidelines" and have received a commitment from their fellow neighbours of at least 75% participation. In so doing, they have demonstrated their understanding that Crime Prevention is not just a job for a few professionals. Rather, the attitude and involvement of these citizens proves their genuine concern to work together to make our community a better place to live. The Durham Regional Police ServiCe endorses this new organization as an official Community Neighbourhood Watch. It is recommended that they be granted permission to erect approved Neighbourhood Watch signs in their area as a crime deterrent. Sincerer, . , P.C.

During that week our association is conducting a public awareness campaign to promote healthy marriages through annual checkups. Marriage checkups are designed to strengthen and protect marriages by helping couples of all ages and descriptions examine their relationships on a regular basis. We would like annual marriage checkups to become as routine as annual medical checkups. We know you will agree that healthy marriages and healthy families are the lifeblood of the community. During Valentine's week members of our non-profit association will offer free one-hour marriage checkups to the public as a community service. The marriage checkup helps identify the unique strengths as well as the potential trouble spots in a relationship. Couples sit down with a trained Marriage and Family Therapist who can help prevent small problems from becoming more serious ones. It is our association's way of saying "Happy Valentine's Day" to Pickering. Our publicity materials will feature a cross-section of couples, young, old, same-sex, and members of diverse cultural and racial groups. Picketing is the home of many rich traditions and varied communities. Our aim is to promote healthy marriages and prevent the painful breakdown of marriages across the board. We ask that you support our public awareness campaign again this year by issuing a proclamation that February 14-18, 2005, is "Marriage Checkup Week". Thank you for your kind consideration of our request. The proclamation may be sent directly to our web master John Lemme at 1093 Wildwood Dr. Newmarket, ON L3Y 2B6 who will immediately post it on our web site at www. oamft.on.ca Yours sincerely, Pam Santon, MSW, RSW, RMFT President Post Office Box 50055 · 660 Eglinton Ave. E. · Toronto · Ontario · M4G 4Gl · 1-800-267-2638 www.oamft.on.ca A project of the ~UBSTANCE ABUSI: COUNCIl [or Youth In Ourham Region November 4, 2004 Bruce Taylor, City of Pickering Municiple Office, 1 The Esplanade, Pickering, Ontario, L1V 6K7 Dear Bruce Taylor; Re: Proclamation of Racing Against Drugs, Durham Week; May 1-6, 2005. On behalf of the Racing Against Drugs Steering Committee, a committee of the Substance Abuse Council for Youth in Durham Region, I am asking you to help raise awareness of the Racing Against Drugs, Durham event. This event, developed by the RCMP, is an exciting initiative that encourages students to adopt a healthy, drug-free lifestyle with a commitment to personal safety. The Racing Against Drugs, Durham event is organized locally by a committee of the Substance Abuse Council for Youth in Durham Region. One of the many strengths of this program lies in the strong collaboration between personnel in education, police services, community agencies, business and industry. Over 42,000 students, from the Durham District School Board and the Durham Catholic District School Board have participated in this exciting and engaging event over the past 7 years. During the school year the students experience the Racing Against Drugs curriculum, which addresses the expectations of the Ontario Curriculum - Health and Physical Education Grade 5, in their classroom and will come together during the week of May 2-6, 2005 at the Racing Against Drugs, Durham Event. This coming year, approximately 6,200 grade five students will participate in Racing Against Drugs, Durham. Over 25 agencies and businesses come together, during the week of the event, to a local arena that has been transformed into an exciting racing environment. Students participate at the various educational "Pit Stops" in activities relating to substance abuse prevention, healthy lifestyles and personal safety. We hope you can join us in strengthening our celebration of this worthwhile commitment to our children's future by bringing this event to the attention of your Municipal Council requesting that they proclaim the week of May 1-6, 2005 as RACING AGAINST DRUGS DURHAM WEEK. Thanking you in advance for your attention to this exciting endeavour. Sincerely~.. Lo~FMeFt~, RN, BScN, Public Health Nurse Racing Against Drugs Durham Steering Committee Vice Chair
