Huemiller referred to the commission being conducted of the police complaints system by former Associate Chief Justice of Ontario, Patrick Lesage. He expressed concern with the current system to file complaints against police officers. J. Huemiller was advised by the Chair that remarks against individuals were not permitted.

Diane Cowie, 421 Barrington Lane, Waterloo appeared before Council on behalf of 12 neighbourhood associations that back onto the Fischer-Hallman corridor. She noted the World Health Organizations health issues related to noise and the adverse health effects. She expressed concern that the Columbia Street/Erb Street/Keats Way area was not included in the model. She requested clarification on the compounding of growth and percentages used. Council - 2 - 04/11/10 b. Maxine Walsh, Suite 2, 408 Craigleith Drive, Waterloo appeared before Council on behalf of the Homeowners’ Associations and Condominium Corporations along Fischer-Hallman Road between Winchester Drive and Columbia Road and distributed copies of her presentation. A copy is appended to the original minutes. M. Walsh is opposed to the project as currently designed and requested previous noise policies in place be utilized for this construction. Keith Yanke and Steve Schock chose not to speak. Mike Murray, Chief Administrative Officer, advised the noise policy is applied consistently and for this particular project items such as plantings and rubberized asphalt are included to help mitigate the noise issues. The noise levels will be reviewed in three years time, rather than the standard five years. There was further discussion about the decibel levels and policies. In the case of new developments where noise barriers are required, the cost is paid for by the developer. For this particular project, the road is being widened in an existing area and will be funded through development charges. If new noise guidelines are to be implemented, the cost to apply it to the whole Region needs to be considered. There was discussion about the increase in the percentage of noise levels and the resulting increase in decibel levels. It was noted the project is being processed under a class environmental process and interested parties have an opportunity to make a bump up request to the Ministry of the Environment. J. Wideman brought forward Item #1 of the Summary of Recommendations of the Planning and Works Committee. MOVED by J. Wideman SECONDED by B.
