NOTICE OF MOTION 9. MAYOR AND MUNICIPAL COUNCILLORS' REPORTS (a) Councillor Peppard District: Muskoka Watershed Council (MWC) (executive meeting, September 19, 2019) - District Offices, Bracebridge • The MWC is now incorporated and as such will be conducting a strategic planning session in order to take a fresh look at our role, mission and operating procedures; • Current projects include: research on algae, the impact of road salt on our rivers and streams and hydrology modelling; • The MWC has a seat on the Muskoka Watershed Advisory Group (MWAG). The mandate of this group is to look at issues across the Muskoka River Watershed that may have an impact on flooding in addition to other issues. The findings of this group will also help to inform the Province’s Flood Advisory Committee. Muskoka Watershed Council (MWC) (regular meeting, September 20, 2019) - District Offices, Bracebridge • Blue-green algae: The MWC received a presentation on blue- green algae. Research to-date indicates that even with a reduction in Phosphorous some lakes and bays are at risk of blooms. Factors that contribute to a greater risk of a bloom also include warmer temperatures and a shorter ice cover period (both linked to climate change). Areas that may be at greater risk include shallow lakes and bays with little wind disturbance in addition to lots of sunny weather and warmer temperatures. Extra plant growth sinks to the bottom and rots thus reducing oxygen at the bottom of a lake. This lack of oxygen promotes the growth of blue-green algae in particular. • District floodplain mapping will be complete by the end of the year and it will include this year’s flood data. • Road Salt: a public information session on road salt and its impact upon the environment will be coming up soon. Date and time to be determined. Community and Planning Services Committee (regular meeting, September 19, 2019) - District Offices, Bracebridge Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) Comments: • The District Planner and Area Municipal Planners have provided Page 5 of 203 Council Meeting Agenda - October 22, 2019 Page comments to the Province regarding proposed changes to the PPS including: • Retaining strong policies such as being ‘consistent with’ PPS policies; • Address liability, health and environmental concerns when it comes to private communal services such as private water and waste water systems; • Do not permit aggregate extraction and other works in areas of natural heritage; • Continue to allow municipalities to impose standards greater than those in the PPS. • 10 Year Housing Strategy - the District is working on a mid-term review of our 10 year housing strategy; • Short-term Rentals - while the District recognizes the seriousness of the short-term housing issue and is willing to take a leadership role if asked, it is the area municipalities whom have the tools with which to deal with the issue.
