Dear Ministers Bartolucci and Chiarelli
Re Proposed Amendment 1 to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
The Township of Severn has carefully consider and reviewed the proposed Amendment 1 to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and as directed by resolution of Severn Township Council would respectfully advise that the Township has ten 10 issues that your Ministers need to be aware of and address as follows
1 The Ministry has provided a 95 day consultation period for the submission of comments on the Proposed GPA1 with a deadline of January 31 2011 In normal circumstances a 95 day consultation period may be sufficient but with the Municipal Election on October 25 2010 and the transition period for new Councils the deadline does not allow enough time for new Council Members to be up to speed on this highly complex planning policy With the consultation period extending through the Christmas season municipalities had little opportunity to engage their communities in developing comments While it is recognized that it is important to continue to move the process ahead the Township requests that more time and more opportunities for the review of the proposed GPA1 and for public input be provided Notwithstanding the request for an extension the Township is making a submission within the commenting deadline to ensure that our comments are considered by the Minister prior to any decision on GPA1 Qo 2 3
2 That the Province be requested to understand that the Amendment will lead to significant costs associated with delineating the Interim Settlement Boundary and defending those decisions at the Ontario Municipal Board This would be a direct cost associated with implementing a Provincial policy
3 It is requested that the Province consider financial assistance to offset the additional costs that have been and will be incurred as a direct result of the Provinces decision to become directly and intimately involved in population and employment allocations and settlement area boundary planning at the local level
4 The Township is of the opinion that the requirement of Interim Settlement Boundary ISB is too restrictive and this level of Provincla involvement in local land use planning is not required The current proposal would require for even minor adjustments to the ISB such as correcting errors an amendment to the local Official Plan an amendment to the County Official Plan a full Municipal Comprehensive Review and a Provincial planning review and approval process This process could take up to two years and add significant financial costs and strain to the system
5 That the Township of Severn recommends a more efficient and less cumbersome solution to the policy issue such as the following
The requirement to delineate and designate the ISB in the County Official Plan should be replaced with a detailed policy around ISBs which requires the County to establish a flexible policy framework for the delineation of ISBs in its Official Plan
Similar to the Planning Act provision which indicates that applications for Settlement Area boundary expansions which are refused by Council are rat appealable to the OMB the Township requests that a similar provision be applied to the ISB
Making these changes the Province would be allowing local decision making and local choices regarding the ISB subject to County approval and making the determination and delineation of the ISB an approval process between the County and the individual Municipality
6 That the Province acknowledge that municipalities with a significant seasonal population may have many of these converted to permanent dwelling units resulting in a net loss to the growth allocation It is recommended that seasonal unit conversions not be included in the growth allocation
7 That the Township of Severn requests that no further downward changes be made to its population allocation 3
8 It is recommended that a Hearing Officer be appointed to deal with the many ongoing issues with respect to GPA1 The appointment of a Hearing Officer may resolve some of the concerns expressed by local governments and citizens
9 The Growth Plan and GPA1 utilize population forecasts as ceilings to restrict growth when they should be used as guidelines to manage growth The result is a planning by numbers implementation approach to growth management which conflicts with and undermines the sound land use planning and growth management principles contained in the Planning Act the PPS the County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan
10 In the interests of stimulating investment opportunities job creation diversified economies improved assessment ratios and complete communities where people can live and work planning policies at all levels should encourage and support employment opportunities not restrict them Therefore the employment forecasts should not be utilized as a ceiling rather they should be removed from the GP Schedule 3 and GPA1 Schedule 7 The Growth Plan should not restrict employment opportunities but encourage them
On behalf of the Township of Severn I would like to thank you for your consideration of the above noted comments If you have any questions with respect to the abovenoted matter please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned

Re Non Commercial Tourism Information CRTC Radio Station 969 FM on Hwy 400 for Simcoe County Tourism
To provide an information update regarding our Tourism Information Radio station on Highway 400 1 am writing to inform council of our background
We were recently approved by the CRTC for a license for a non commercial radio station to target the heavy tourist car traffic on highway 400 between highway 89 exit and hinisfil Beach Road exit The FM radio frequency will travel approximately 7 miles along 400 highway and will be heard on 969 FM We will be in operation by Spring 2011 Our non commercial radio station will air continuous looping audio information for tourists to convince them to visit our towns We will air the weekly tourism reports from renowned reporter Jack Lynch and will promote local festivals events and tourism activities in the area Simcoe county
We would like to invite the support of residents of New Tecumseth Simcoe county and the tourism operators along the 400 highway which advertise on the important highway billboards to join in a tourism network with Tourism Radio and other stakeholders to promote tourism
400 MarketAntique Mall the Cookstown Outlet Mall Casino Rama and OLG SlotsGeorgian Downs and other businesses all have current billboard facilities along the 400 highway When Big Bay Point Resort starts actively marketing they too could contribute to this billboard and FM radio promotion Our tourism information radio service will soon be able to complement those very same billboards with FM radio audio announcements to encourage visitors to our area The cost to modify small billboard space from each of these operators would be a small contribution the tourism operators could make to the community and the local tourism economy
In addition it would not cost the New Tecumseth taxpayers residents and councils budget anything
We invite town council residents and local tourism operators to now weigh in to show support and to encourage these billboard advertisers that they can assist the local economy and local tourism by providing a small amount of their billboard space to highlight Tourism Information Tune In 969 FM while still continuing to advertise their own independent tourism venues on the majority of their own billboard space
I also am pleased to see New Tecumseth involved in the tourism network Celebrating South Simcoe working title as we are becoming involved with as well
I am enclosing for councils reference pdf copies of
a an Open Letter we placed in the hmisfrl Scope Newspaper Feb 2 2011 issue
b as well as a letter of congratulations we received from our local MP the Hon Peter Van Loan regarding our CRTC approval
c the original letter of support we received from the Town of Innisfil

Dear Mayor MacEachern
The beginning of the year has been a busy time for many of us As fellow mayors and councillors we know that we are all adjusting to newly formed councils and for some of us a new role as an elected official
We also know that there are many of you who are looking for ways to support and protect the fragile greenspace that is part of your community and to ensure that you are representing the environmental issues that are a top priority for Ontarians and your voters
This is why we would like to invite you to join our network the Municipal Leaders for the Greenbelt This motivated group of elected councillors and mayors believes that a strong economy and a wellprotected worldclass Greenbelt go hand in hand We were active in the campaign to create the Greenbelt and we would like to continue to protect and expand all that we have accomplished
Municipal Leaders for the Greenbelt currently has over 50 members representing the Niagara York Waterloo Simcoe Halton Peel and Durham regions as well as Toronto and Hamilton and our numbers continue to strengthen
Recent developments across southern Ontario are certain to put the Greenbelt at the front of the provincial agenda and we will be there to support it at every step
We understand that you all have a variety of other commitments but we would like to assure you that this is not a great obligation of time As a member you will be invited to an annual event that provides a forum for the discussion of common Greenbelt issues and an opportunity to share our ideas and experiences Any further involvement will be at the discretion of the individual member
The 2011 event of Municipal Leaders for the Greenbelt will be part of the Global Greenbelts Conference and will take place the evening of March 22nd and will be cohosted by Minister Bartolucci MUNICIPAL LEADERS fortheGREENBELT
I pledge to
Support the Greenbelt as a permanent feature of Ontarios landscape and commit to maintaining the boundaries of the Greenbelt
Encourage the development of Natural Heritage Systems in every community that links to the Greenbelt
Ensure that planning decisions influencing the Greenbelt adhere to the Greenbelt Plan

From peter brown peteandlorraine@liveca Sent Saturday January 29 2011 1112 PM To Jan Heydon Georgina Pearcy Subject 54 Deposition to Council
Deposition 54 Plus Seniors Centre To Town of New Tecumseth 1 About the dub The objective of the dub is to promote Happiness and welfare of Senior Citizens in the Town of New
Tecumseth and surrounding area in every way possible There are currently about 170 regular members and an additional 50 honorary members 85 years old and over The dub was deeply involved in the rehabilitation of the Gibson Centre and did rent area on the second floor for just over 2000 month unfortunately this did not work out as originally anticipated in part due to our having to reschedule events etc depending on the Gibson Centre Venues
We are currently holding some of our regular events at the New Tec Rec Centre and the Alliston Memorial Arena we also are renting space at the Kingsmere The dub traditionally had a very busy schedule of activities however under the current situation we had to curtail some of them The activities that were regularly on the calendar included Euchre Bid Euchre Social Bridge Ballroom Dancing Crafts Exercise Groups Shuffleboard Dinners etc At the regular monthly meetings we usually have a guest speaker that addressed health wealth or wellbeing of the senior population 2What we want The dub would like a 100 renewable lease for approximately 5000 sq ft of land adjacent to the north west corner of the New Tecumseth Rec Centre This will allow us to construct an addition to the Recreation Center that will meet the growing needs of this very alive dub It would include a hall Craft room Kitchen washrooms and adequate storage The location is excellent with adequate parking and being on the ground floor will be fully handicap accessible All constmWon costs will be covered by the dub financially we currently have assets in the area of 25000000 We will continue with fundraising and anticipate assistance from the Trillium Foundation All plans and details will be worked out in cooperation with the Town authorities We would appreciate your consideration of this project as it should prove to be a definite benefit to the seniors in the area and the Town Thank You

RECOMMENDATION
That the Additional Information Memorandum from the TreasurerManager of Finance dated February 14 2011 be received
BACKGROUND
At the February 7 2011 Committee of the Whole meeting Finance staff provided their report regarding longterm financing for the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant project and requested approval for the TreasurerManager of Finance to execute a purchase agreement with National Bank Financial The report also indicated that staff would report to Council on the interest rates and details of the debenture at the February 14 2011 Council meeting
COMMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS
At the Special Council meeting of February 7 2011 the following recommendations were approved by resolution 2011022
That Finance Report FIN201105 be received and
That the Council of the Town of New Tecumseth hereby approves
1 That the Town shall in accordance with the previous Council resolution 2007192 issue debentures in 2011 in connection with the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant project through National Bank Financial Inc NBF as Fiscal Agents in an amount not to exceed 32800000 over a term not to exceed 20 years
2 That at any time in 2011 after this recommendation is adopted the TreasurerManager of Finance may negotiate and settle on the Towns behalf with NBF subject to the provisions hereof the terms and conditions in respect of the Debentures including the applicable rate of interest in respect of the Debentures and the pricing as the TreasurerlManager of Finance considers appropriate and expedient II
Additional Information Memorandum February 14 2011 Page 2 of 2
3 That in accordance with section 2 of these recommendations the TreasurerManager of Finance be authorized to execute a purchase agreement between the Town and NBF and any other such documentation that may be required
4 That the Town shall prior to the fixed date for the completion of the sale of the Debentures upon the negotiated terms and conditions contemplated in section 2 of these recommendations pass a debenture bylaw which provides for the authorization by the Town of the issue of the Debentures in accordance with the applicable legislation and the purchase agreement referred to in section 3 of these recommendations
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Conditions in the Capital Debt market have fluctuated notably over the past week from when staff originally completed their calculations and comparisons The unexpected interest rate changes are a function of several global and domestic factors which were different than economists forecasts
The benefits of the National Bank deal versus that of Ontario Infrastructure Projects Corporation OIPC have been currently eliminated OIPC rates have also increased but not at the same level as was seen in the open market
Staff under the advice of National Bank representatives will not be proceeding with the debenture deal under the originally planned time frame Market conditions will be monitored daily by National Bank and when a more beneficial opportunity occurs we will proceed immediately with the issue As the TD construction loan matures on March 31 2011 the issue will be made prior to that date
Staff will report the details of the debenture deal and bring forward the Debenture bylaw to a future Council meeting
