Committee Reports
Public Works/Environment- The Public Works Department has noticed that there is a discrepancy in the garbage rates for businesses as to the amount of waste generated. This will be reviewed more closely once all the data is collected. There is still a property which requires public works to attend the premises to collect the waste. This is clearly indicated in the By-law that town employees are not to attend any premise for this purpose. A letter with a copy of the by-law will be sent to them. An update was received from AECOM indicating that the tender will be ready to be sent out in July for the water sewer project. One quote for work on well #2 was received to date. There are higher than normal levels of TTHM in the water. This occurs when the high level of organics are treated with chlorine. There are other possible methods of treatment to reduce or eliminate this occurrence. OCWA may take samples and send them to the Walkerton test centre for analysis. Flushing will be done in the meantime. There is no health risk at this time. Spring cleanup will not occur on regular garbage collection days as this created some minor problems. A sign will be put on the garbage truck next year to advertise the date of the clean up and if the dates could be put in the water bills everyone would be informed in a timely fashion. The Public Works department requested that there be monthly management meetings to discuss ongoing matters and keep all departments informed of various activities. Energy efficient lighting is being looked at for the arena.
Finance/ General Government- The budget was looked at and with an increase in assessment values from MPAC it was suggested that the lower tax rate be implemented to avoid a burden on the tax payers. The actual figures for the budget will be ready by month end from the auditor and the rate can be set at that time.
Fire Committee- Mayor Wallace reported that the budget was set for 2012 with the Town of Englehart’s share being $55,710.11. COU1-12-05-09-Wood-Wheeldon-Palmateer- That the Town of Englehart accept the 2012 budget for he Englehart & area Fire Department in the amount of $127, 800 with the Town of Englehart’s contribution of $55, 710.11. “Carried”
Minutes of May 9, 2012 Page 5 of 73 ... Agenda Item # 31.
Economic Development- Councilor Palmateer reported that the 701 project was discussed and local companies such as Nor Arc are being approached to perform the required work. Quotes for hand stenciled logo will be coming in and a quote for stick on letters will come from GraphicId’s. The question regarding the request for extra land has yet to be addressed by the ONR. It was suggested that a letter be sent to the ONTC again and a copy to John Thib also. The Clerks have put out an RFP for the strategic plan. It was suggested by Lorie Ypya of MNDM that NOHFC may have available funding. The Chamber has 44 members with 10 new this year. A number of members have not renewed for 2012. They have $8,030 in the bank account and are looking at replacing the signs on the highway. It was suggested that Council pass a motion to list the Red School for sale. A partner community is still being sought to do the First Impression exchange.
Hospital Recruitment and Retention- Mayor Wallace reported that the committee has not appointed a new chairperson and the deputy chair will take on the duties. Letters will be going to the local municipalities in the hospital service area requesting a per capita contribution towards the recruitment efforts. Mike Baker went to the High School to speak to the students about health care.
Wheelchair bus- The wheelchair bus committee is hosting the Band Country Blend on May 25th and are hoping for a good turnout.
Elevator Committee Councilor Metson reported that the footings are being poured. The water and sewer lines are way below the area where the shaft will be constructed. The Charlton Englehart Lions club will match any donations made after May 15, 2012 up to $20,000.00.
Closed Session
COU1-12-05-10- Peplinski-Wood-Wheeldon- Whereas Section 239(2) of the Municipal Act, 2001 allows for councils to move into closed session when the subject matter is labour relations or employee negotiations; Now therefore the council will move into closed session at 7:25 p.m. “Carried”

May 10, 2012
Good day Mayor Wallace,
The Mayors Coalition is gaining fast ground on this extremely important topic. Beyond the Policing taskforce that was developed two months ago, we now see the following new committees being formed: The Future of Policing Advisory Committee, this committee is designed to provide a forum for the follow up on key issues and in particular, the review of police services. The Committee will also oversee six different subcommittees which will review: crime prevention, law enforcement, assistance to victims of crime, public order maintenance, emergency response, and administration and infrastructure. And secondly, an OPP Costing mProject Tea has been created. This team is dedicated to improving the transparency and accountability of municipal costs in communities policed by the OPP. All of these things are a result of the fact that the High Cost of Policing topic, while difficult, perhaps unpalatable for some, had to occur and must continue to occur.
The above activities will certainly allow us to better understand our police bills, and that is important, however the conversation still needs to turn to how we reduce those policing bills and the Mayors Coalition remains focussed on the financial aspect.
What is it we are looking to achieve?
It is one of two things, a true partnership with the Province or if not, have the Province take on100% of the taxation for OPP Policing services.
To understand in which direction we are headed we are asking the following:
1. Is the Province interested in a true partnership where municipalities have some control over our costs? 2. If yes, can we develop a working group to delve into the weeds with our new municipal control and make changes? 3. If not, will you take collection for services right out of the municipal levy where it no longer belongs?
Why are we pursuing this in light of the Ministries task force in which AMO is participating? Simply put, the task force is not allowed to speak to the items of true and meaningful significance. The Minister has clearly stated they cannot speak to or address:
• The province‐wide model for developing municipal police costs; • The adequacy standards and/or other legislative or regulatory requirements for policing; • The policy or practice for collective bargaining with the OPPA.
As elected municipal officials we are fiscally accountable to our citizens and accountable to look after all levels of our community. We need to protect Seniors and the less fortunate in our communities from the over burdening taxation, we need to deliver 100% of mandated services, at affordable price points,
Mayors Coalition Steering Committee re: Policing Page 8 of 73 ... Agenda Item # 61.
we need to protect our local business and industries from undue taxation causing them to close their doors or layoff our citizens, we need to deliver programs for our youth. Our ability to deliver these programs are crippled by the rising costs of Policing.
To accomplish the above we have a 3 phase plan that would see the following unfold:
Phase One
• Develop a comprehensive stakeholder map
• Prepare key messages for meetings with stakeholders
• Canvass key stakeholders
• Gather intelligence at Queen’s Park
• Analyze primary information
• Deliver report assessing the prospects for achieving needed changes and the most approach for moving forward.
Phase Two
• Continue to gather intelligence and interact with government and opposition members
• Continue to conduct government outreach and meetings
If we choose to go with a more public campaign,
• Develop key messages for public education campaign
• Outreach to key decision makers
• Develop ‘constituency of supporters’
• Designate priority targets for engagement based on Phase One activity
• Designate key regional spokespeople
• Design a consistent narrative for use with media
• Create opportunities to engage with Queen’s Park influencers and policymakers
• Creation of materials, media lists, stakeholder list, fact sheetsd an construct a bilingual media toolkit
Mayors Coalition Steering Committee re: Policing Page 9 of 73 ... Agenda Item # 61.
• Deliver a report measuring and assessing the impact of the public campaign against our stated goals, along with recommendations for future action
Phase Three
• Continue to communicate with stakeholders and influencers
• Continue to monitor media
• Provide stakeholders with updated information
We trust you share our vision and commitment. Please consider supporting our effort in one of two ways:
1. Financial support of $1,000 (recognizing tight times, less is acceptable) 2. Moral support via joining the coalition as registered member of the Mayors Coalition for Affordable, Sustainable, Accountable Provincial Policing.

ENGLEHART AND DISTRICT HOSPITAL INC
April 30, 2012
Town of Englehart PO Box 399 Englehart, ON POJ 1HO
Dear Reeve and Council:
With the acute shortage of family doctors across the country we are indeed fortunate to be able to attract and recruit physicians to our community.
This does result in an increased cost to the hospital but with the cooperation of municipalities, businesses and interested parties we have been able to offset a portion of these costs.
Seven years ago, the hospital formed the Englehart and Area Healthcare Professional Recruitment and Retention Committee to assist in recruitment and retention of physicians. It is comprised of community members and chaired by the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors. The committee has worked to develop strategies and initiatives to recruit and retain physicians and other health care professionals for the hospital and family health team.
Our most successful method is to advertize in the Canadian Medical Journal We have expanded our media campaign to include the Northern Ontario Medical Journal. In fact, the Englehart hospital and family health team were recently featured in the Journal reviewing the success of the community in recruiting physicians. You can view the article on their website under the "News" sub heading.
We enjoyed a full complement of physicians at the beginning of the year. However, since that time, Dr. Olokodona decided to relocate in March, Dr. Hudson moved to Peterborough in April and Dr. Slivko will relocate in June. Combined with Dr. Primrose's retirement at the end of June, our task is larger this year that it has been in many previous years. We have hired Dr. Regina Mbuva, who has been a wonderful addition to the staff. Dr. Lynn Lacasse from Earlton returned to the area April 23 to join the Englehart team.

We will again attend the Annual Health Professional Recruitment tour this fall, hosted by Health Force Ontario. This tour provides us with an opportunity to meet a large number of medical students, residents and established professionals as well as other health care professionals to show them what Northern Ontario has to offer. In addition, we continue to host medical learners from the Northern Ontario School of Medicine.
All of these initiatives are expensive and I would ask each municipality to assist the hospital by contributing $1.50 per capita toward our recruitment efforts. With approximately 8,600 residents in the area, the additional $12,900 would go a long way to offsetting the costs of these important initiatives.
Thank you for your consideration and ongoing support. If you require further information please do not hesitate to contact me at 705 544 2301 extension 5200.

Dear Honourable Sir:
At the Tillsonburg Town Council Meeting of April 23, 2012, Council passed the following resolution:
"WHEREAS in 1970 the rate of provincial payments in lieu of taxes for universities was arbitrarily set at $25 per full time student; and
WHEREAS in 1973 that was doubled to $50 per student and the payment was expanded to include hospitals and provincial correctional institutions; and
WHEREAS in 1987 that rate was increased by 50%, still without apparent justification, to $75 per student and bed; and
WHEREAS that rate has remained constant since that time despite the fact that inflation would in 2012 require an almost doubling of the payment ($146); and
WHEREAS at least sixty-five communities have called for an increase in payments; and
WHEREAS heads of universities are supporting that call; and
WHEREAS Premier McGuinty has looked to the municipalities of the province to be the economic engine of Ontario; and
WHEREAS the payments in lieu of taxes do not meet the actual costs of municipalities to provide the necessary services for the various institutions, thus placing an unfair tax burden on their property tax payers, thereby jeopardizing a municipality's ability to meet infrastructure demands, and consequently weakening their ability to act as economic engines;

THAT the Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg calls on the Province of Ontario to meet with the host municipalities for the purpose of reviewing the basis for payments in lieu of taxes, and determining a stable foundation going forward for those payments that meets associated costs prior to the 2013 budget cycle; and
THAT copies of this motion be sent to: the Premier Dalton McGuinty; the Honourable Dwight Duncan, Minister of Finance; all Ontario municipalities with any of hospitals, post secondary institutions or provincial correctional institutions; Ontario Small Urban Municipalities (OSUM) and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), MPP Ernie Hardeman, MPP Toby Barrott, MPP Jeff Yurek, MPP Tim Hudak, Head of the Opposition Party and South Central Ontario Region (SCOR)."

Dear Sir:

Resolution No. 2012-292b:
WHEREAS the Mayors of the Northern Communities Working Group met with the Minister of Northern Development and Mines, Rick Bartolucci, in Toronto on April 19, 2012, regarding the Provincial Government's proposed divestiture of the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC);

Re: Smoke-Free Spaces By-Law and Next Steps
Congratulations on your recent by-law to regulate smoking on municipal property. The Town of Englehart joins a growing list of municipalities across Ontario who have implemented outdoor smoke- free spaces by-laws. With nearly 20% of Timiskaming residents still smoking, leadership by local government to implement healthy public policy deserves praise.
As you know, benefits of smoke-free outdoor spaces (e.g. arena properties, parks, playgrounds) include protection from exposure to second-hand smoke; de-normalization of smoking behaviour/reducing smoking cues; and reduction of associated litter and pollution.
Enacting a local by-law that extends beyond the Smoke-Free Ontario Act (SFOA) shows commendable leadership and a commitment to healthy lives and communities. Like you, the Timiskaming Health Unit is committed to working with local partners on healthy public policy. Public health staff can assist in various ways to ensure success of a local smoke-free spaces by-law including: • Developing and implementing awareness and education campaigns/events; • Creating supportive environments (e.g. signage, butt stops); • Supporting cessation programs and services; • Engaging youth in promotion and prevention efforts; • Enforcing the SFOA and, where capacity allows, local related by-laws.
We appreciate that council and staff are very busy. Please don't hesitate to contact us should there be opportunities for us to enhance and support your efforts.
Sincerely,

Dear Chief Administrative Officer/Clerk:
I am writing to let you know about some changes the Ministry of Natural Resources is making to the Bear Wise program.
As part of our Transformation Plan announced in the 2012 Ontario Budget, the ministry conducted a review of how we deliver programs and services to Ontarians. The Bear Wise program was part of that review.
Bear Wise has set a solid foundation, helping municipalities and the public to reduce preventable human-bear encounters. In fact, no other jurisdiction in North America has provided this level of support to communities.
Today, eight years into the program, awareness of Bear Wise is high and many municipalities have good, robust bear wise strategies in place. As a result of the program, the public is better educated about what to do when they encounter a bear. In this regard, Bear Wise has achieved its main goals, and the time is right to transition from an active management model to one that places a greater emphasis on personal responsibility.
Most aspects of the Bear Wise program will continue, including:
• operating the toll-free Bear Reporting Line (1-866-514 -2327) 24 hours a day, seven days a week from April to November, with trained staff handling calls and determining the appropriate response • educating the public about black bears and bear behaviour in Ontario • providing advice to municipalities, the public, and other stakeholders about what they can do to keep bears away from urban and semi-urban areas, and how to manage problem bears • tracking and collecting information about human-bear occurrences • maintaining our comprehensive website to assist Ontarians with tips to ensure that their properties are not inviting to bears.
..2
Ministry of Natural Resources re Bear Wise program Page 36 of 73 ... Agenda Item # 611.
* I
-2-
The ministry will continue to support the Ontario Provincial Police and local police services in responding to emergency situations. However, moving forward, we will no longer provide individual site visits to help landowners who are having site-specific conflicts with bears, and the ministry will no longer trap and relocate problem bears. Trapping and relocating has always been our least effective tool to manage problem bears, with research showing that many relocated bears simply return to the area from where they were removed.
Responsibility for managing human-bear conflicts continues to be shared between the province and local governments. The investments municipalities make in bear wise strategies, whether it's a public awareness campaign or bear-resistant waste management infrastructure, will result in long-term savings and cleaner, safer and healthier communities. Going forward, the ministry will continue to provide advice and support to municipalities on how to manage bears, as we do for other wildlife species.
Senior ministry staff have already been in contact with the Ontario Provincial Police regarding the Bear Wise program changes. Where formal or informal agreements exist with local municipal or First Nations police forces, ministry staff from the districts will be following up with their contacts in the police services.
If you have any questions about these changes to the Bear Wise program, please contact the district manager for your area. Contact information for district offices is available on our website at www.ontario.ca/mnr. Click Contact Us from the top toolbar, and then Where to find MNR services from the toolbar on the left.

Mayor. Engineer and all concerning departments:
I have purchased this house on 8th Ave in Englehart, on January 20th 2012. I would like to bring to your attention the serious issue concerning this house. Heavy traffic causes my house to vibrate
and shake. I have noticed every time a transport truck, travels on 8th Ave going across my front door
the house shakes and vibrates. This also occurs when transport trucks travel up or down 2nd Street.
The train does not cause any vibration or shaking, as I have been paying close attention to all possible traffic.
/ am writing this letter to inform the council of the serious issues of heavy traffic on these fragile Englehart roads.
I also believe that these transport trucks should use 4th Ave. to deliver their goods, as this is the location they are going too and the most direct route.
At present the route these transport trucks take are as follows; offHwy 11 north ~ right on 1st
street - left on 8th Ave, - right down 2"d Street to Tibs Valuemart. - the other transport trucks
travels - Hwy 11 north - right down 2nd Street into the town of Englehart towards Valuemart and the liquor store.
I understand that this council is aware of the route of these transports, however; I would like to believe that the council is not aware of the shock wave - vibration - and shaking these heavy trucks are doing to the present and future safety of this Town?
I would like this letter to go on record and documented as received by the Englehart Government Offices - City, Village & Township.

Dear Jana van Oosten, Regarding your letter of May 10th. We are interested in the purchase or rental of surplus TVO antennas depending on the tower location. If your Municipality can take possession of a surplus TVO tower and it is in a place were Parolink can utilize the tower to augment our service then we are willing to assume the responsibility for the maintenance of the tower in its place. We are prepared to pay an annual rental fee of $500.00 or provide a municipal facility with an internet service. In the event that the tower is in a location that our Parolink service can not utilize then we will offer to purchase the tower from the Municipality for $500.00 and remove the tower at our expense. It is my understanding that you have the opportunity to take possession of the tower in Englehart. Our technicians are of the opinion that this tower could be used to improve our Parolink service in the Englehart area.

Your Worship,
We thank you for taking part in our Ontario wide initiative to raise the awareness of the importance of English language learning opportunities for newcomers to Canada by declaring English as a Second Language (ESL) Week in the Fall of 2011 during the week in which our annual conference took place.
I am writing on behalf of TESL Ontario (Teachers of English as a Second Language) to invite you to again take part in our Province-wide initiative to recognize Ontario's ESL community and declare the week of November 4th to 10th, 2012 as "English as a Second Language Week". Given the ever growing diversity of the population of Ontario, we hope you will continue to support our efforts and grant us this request. In 2011, fifty-one municipalities declared ESL Week and we anticipate that this number will continue to grow, helping the ESL community to celebrate and expand its development.
For 40 years, TESL Ontario has held its Annual Conference to provide professional development for educators, administrators, students and volunteers who make it possible for immigrants, refugees, citizens, and visitors to learn the English language. This year, our conference "TESL Ontario at 40: Thriving, Excelling, Sharing, Leading" will be held November 8th to 10th, 2012 and we will be honoured if representatives of your council can participate.
Last year's TESL Ontario conference attracted 1510 registrants. Our members travel from across the province and beyond to attend workshops, research symposia, our technology fair and publishers' displays. For many of us, this annual journey to Toronto marks a time when we can share our experiences, expand our skills, and reaffirm the positive contribution that our province makes to diversity.

INTRODUCTION The Englehart Community Learning Centre Committee conducted a survey to identify the training and learning needs of the residents of Englehart in order to develop a plan to implement a Community Learning Centre. The results of this survey are intended to provide the Englehart Community Learning Centre Committee with the information that will allow it to implement a centre that will focus its activities and programs of the specific needs of the community. The survey’s objectives were to identify: Anticipated training and learning needs Training taken in the past year If training is available in the community Specific job related, job readiness and general interest training and learning needs Potential local trainers The results of the survey will prove valuable to: Assess the training that is in greater demand Assess the number of individuals who require that training Provide some direction in the areas of programming This report reflects the training and learning needs identified by 45 residents (38 individuals and 7 employers) of the community of Englehart who completed a publicly distributed survey questionnaire. The information contained in this report is presented in a concise format and summarized to be as faithful as possible to the input provided by the survey respondents. BACKGROUND In October 2002 the Englehart Community Learning Centre Committee began investigating the best method for conducting the community needs survey. A survey tool was developed and translated during the months of November and December 2002. The group opted for bulk mail outs for distributing the survey questionnaire. The mail out covered Englehart, Charton, Earlton and the appropriate rural routes. In December 2002 a press release was sent to the local media to announce that the survey would be conducted and to encourage residents of the Englehart area to complete and return the survey questionnaire. On January 6, 2003, 2341 copies of the survey were sent. The completion date was set for January 31, 2003. The surveys were collected from designated drop off locations. 129 surveys were collected by the end of January 2003. The Englehart Community Learning Centre Committee decided to extend the completion date to mid February. The last of the surveys wer collected on February 14, 2003. In September 2011, the Englehart Community Learning Centre Committee decided to send out surveys. _____ surveys were sent. 45 surveys were collected by the end of December 2011. Englehart Training and Learning Needs 2011 Page 1 Learning Center Page 56 of 73 ... Agenda Item # 96. METHODOLOGY This is not a scientific research. It is a compilation of comments on the training and learning needs that were obtained as a result of a public call for input from the residents of the community of Englehart. Some of the data and information contained in this document was gathered from existing reports and surveys. The survey questionnaire was available in both official languages and individuals were invited to respond in the language of their choice. The questionnaire was distributed via bulk mail out. 45 questionnaires were returned. SURVEY RESPONDANTS Appendix A provides a profile of the 38 individuals who answered the survey by gender, age, language, educational level and employment status. SUMMARY This document contains a compilation of the responses received as a results of a public call for input by the Englehart Community Learning Centre Committee. The group’s main goal with this exercise was to highlight the training and learning needs of the residents of the community of Englehart, and ultimately, to implement a community learning centre that would address those needs. The objectives of this project were to identify: Anticipated training and learning needs Training taken in the past year (and if that training was available in the community) Specific job related, job readiness and general interest training and learning needs Potential local trainers It is important to note that this is but a snapshot of the training and learning needs of a small portion of the residents of Englehart. The results of this exercise however confirm an interest in seeing the implementation of a Community Learning Centre. It further re-affirms the Englehart Community Learning Centre Committee’s conviction that there are training and learning needs to be met, and that there are resources in the community to address those needs. This report is intended to provide guidance and to serve as the basis of the Englehart Community Learning Centre Committee’s planning process.

If training is too costly – I personally – would not be able or willing to attend. Please contact me if you have any information that might be of interest.

I also suggested she could put her concerns in writing for the board to look at again. On Apr. 3, 2012 Officer Cote from the OPP came in to ask me about the situation because the parent had called them to see if they had banned her son from the library. We discussed some of the situation he felt our offer of 2009 was suitable and would file the information with the last incident report they had. He was going to call the parent and also suggest the arrangement made in 2009 or re submit a letter to the board for consideration. The patron re issued another letter, distributed to the board and filed with the minutes. Vice-Chair will do some security investigating for the boards information and the parent will be contacted at a later date.
