By-law No.7214/12
Being a by-law to authorize the Don Beer
Arena — Rink 1 Roof Replacement project in
the City of Pickering and the issuance of
debentures in the amount of$420,000
Whereas Section 11 of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a lower-tier
municipality may pass by-laws respecting matters within the spheres of jurisdiction
described in that Section; and,
Whereas Subsection 401(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a
municipality may incur a debt for municipal purposes, whether by borrowing money or in
any other way; and,
Whereas Subsection 401(3) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a
lower-tier municipality in a regional municipality does not have the power to issue
debentures; and,
Whereas The Regional Municipality of Durham has the sole authority to issue
debentures for the purposes of its lower-tier municipalities including The Corporation of
the City of Pickering (the "City"); and,
Whereas the Council of the City wishes construction to proceed in respect of the Don
Beer Arena Roof Replacement project; and,
Whereas before authorizing the construction to proceed in respect of the Don Beer
Arena — Rink 1 Roof Replacement project on the date hereof the Council of the City had
the Treasurer update the City's Annual Repayment Limit, the Treasurer calculated the
estimated annual amount payable in respect of such project and determined that such
annual amount would not cause the City to exceed the updated Limit and therefore,
Ontario Municipal Board approval is not required as per Section 401 of the Municipal
Act, 2001, as amended, and the regulations made thereunder;
And whereas after determining that Ontario Municipal Board approval is not required,
the Council of the City approved report CS 25-12 on the date hereof and awarded
Tender T-11-2012 for the Don Beer Arena — Rink 1 Roof Replacement project.
Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the City of Pickering hereby enacts as
follows:

at a rate to be determined;
b) That the sum of$4,950 be funded from property taxes;
3. That the funds to repay the principal and interest of the debentures be provided for
in the annual Current Budget for the City commencing in 2013 and continuing
thereafter until the loan is repaid.
