After much preparation and training, the installation of the Unicorn software took place in February 2004. DISCUSSION Staff are very enthusiastic about the new software because of the additional features that are available for the public to use. Because of the various services available to the public through the intemet, such as banking and shopping, an expectation has been created that all services should be provided in a like manner. The discussion portion of the report will centre around a demonstration by Library staff of iBistro, the intemet version of the Library catalogue, and the features that library users can access from the comfort of their home. The demonstration will include the following features: . Searching for materials. . Placing a hold. . Accessing your library account. . Library information. CONCLUSION Staff would like to thank Council for their perceptiveness in granting approval for the Library to purchase this software. By the enthusiasm that the library public have already shown through their placing books on hold via the Intemet and accessing their account, staff feel that this software has allowed us to serve our users in the manner that the pub' ect in the 21st ntury.

This report provides details about this grant and recommends that a project archivist/conservator be hired according to its terms. DISCUSSION: The Archives has been successful in a grant application made to the Canadian Council of Archives within the Library and Archives of Canada to hire contract assistance to perform a series of preservation activities. These activities include the development of a disaster preparedness plan as well as a project to clean and re-box the Elgin County Clerk's collection, a highly valuable and large set of records dating back to the County's incorporation in 1852. The Archives has been awarded approximately $8200 to support this project. While the program is funded on a cost-shared basis, the Archives was able to find a number of in- kind contributions (such as supplies and staff time) to comprise most of the matching funds required. A direct contribution of $1500 is nevertheless required. However, these funds were anticipated in the Archives' 2004 operating budget. Staff recommend that the grant be accepted and that a project archivist/conservator be hired according to the terms of the grant. If Council approves, the project will begin in early fall and will extend for a period of approximately fifteen weeks on a full-time basis. All work must be completed by March 31S\ 2005. CqNCLlJSION: The Elgin County Archives has received a grant to engage in a number of preservation- related activities. Staff recommend that a project archivist/conservator be hired according to the terms of this grant. ,RECl)MMENDA TION: THAT a financial contribution from the Canadian Council of Archives in the amount of approximately $8200 be accepted for preservation-related projects in the Elgin County Archives with an additional $1500 drawn from the Archives' 2004 operating budget to support these projects; AND THAT the County's Human Resources Department proceed with a job description and posting for a project archivist/conservator according to the terms of this financial contribution.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Cathy Bishop Director of Library Services DATE: 14 June 2004 SUBJECT: Library Circulation Statistics INTRODUCTION: In the past, the library has provided County Council with a copy of our monthly circulation statistics. Our circulation statistics are broken down by individual library branch and type of material. They show the number of times a particular type of material has been lent out to a patron. DISCUSSION: In 2003 County Council approved the purchase a new library software called "Unicorn". Preparation and training to convert our existing data was ongoing from November 2003 until February when the software was installed. CONCLUSION: There are numerous reports that can be generated from this software. Staff are continuing to familiarize themselves with the various reports that can be produced to assist us with the information we need to gather. Staff is suggesting that Council receive the circulation reports on a quarterly basis. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council receives the library circulation reports on a quarterly basis.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Cathy Bishop, Director of Library Services DATE: 14 June 2004 SUBJECT: Branch Libraries, Open Hours Survey INTRODUCTION At the January 13, 2004 County Council meeting staff was directed to conduct a study to investigate more appropriate opening hours for libraries to accommodate the needs of the public and report back to Council. DISCUSSION: Staff developed a survey for public response. In an effort to keep costs at a minimum, the surveys were distributed in the following manner and did not include a self-addressed envelope or return postage. Keeping this in mind, the return rate is low and therefore the survey results should not be viewed as absolute. 1. Municipal Tax Bills 2. Municipal Water Bills 3. Post Offices (distributed as flyers) 4. Hand-outs at branch libraries Accompanying this report under separate cover are 3 survey result sheets for each individual library with the following information. Page 1 . No. of surveys sent out . No. of surveys returned filled out . Current shaded open hours . No. of respondents suggesting preferred days & hours Page 2 . No. of users by preferred days (graph) Page 3 . No. of users by preferred hours (graph) Page 2 Branch Libraries, Open Hours Survey CONCLUSION: Listed below are the options that the public was given and the preferred days and hours they would prefer to see our libraries open. The benchmark used to determine the preferred days and hours by the public is 50% + 1 based on the number of completed surveys. Option #1 . Open at 9:00 a.m. and close at 9:00 p.m. The response to both was below the benchmark for all libraries. Option #2 . Open on Sundays The response was below the benchmark for all libraries. Option #3 . Open on Wednesdays The response was below the benchmark for all libraries. Option #4 . Current open hours The response was high above the benchmark for all libraries. Option #5 . More daytime hours/More evening hours over and above their current hours The response was below the benchmark for all libraries. It was obvious from the completed surveys that the public was satisfied with the current hour arrangement in all branch libraries and that additional hours were not required at this time.

ONTARIO HIGHWAYS ~ --€ ElGIN COUNTY ROADS .g TOWNSHIP ROADS RAILWAYS \.. ./ Updated in January 2003 / PLAN 56-1 REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Clayton Watters, Director of Engineering Services DATE: 14 June 2004 SUBJECT: Proposed Amending By-Law 04-19 to the Road Consolidating By-Law 99-17 INTRODUCTION County road system by-laws serve to identify the road system and to give authority to the County to operate and maintain this system. These by-laws generally exist in three forms: establishing by-laws; amending by-laws; and consolidating by-laws. DISCUSSION I CONCLUSION: Establishing by-laws serve to designate a new system of roads. Amending by-laws serve to update the establishing by-law with additions and deletions. When the number of amending by-laws make an accurate description of the existing county road system difficult, it is desirable to consolidate the amendments and the original schedule by passing a consolidating by-law. On June 8, 1999, County Council passed a Road Consolidating By-Law for the Elgin County road system (which replaced the previous consolidating By-Law from 1985). Since the last amending By-Law, many land transfers have taken place and roads have been assumed. Recent roads transfers include: Road #18 part of Lot 6 Concession 3; Road #19 part of Lot 15; Road #20 part of Lot 19 Concession South Talbot Road; Road #24 part of Lot 2 Concession 2; Road #26 part of Lot 1 Concession 9; Road #45 part of Lot 1 Concession 4; and Road #56 part of Lot 15 Concession 8. It would be prudent to update the County of Elgin Road system by creating an amending by-law. Attached are the 10 amended plans of roads including titile page and table of contents that require updating. These plans along with a cover page, and a table of contents will form Schedule 'A' of the proposed Amending By-Law 04-19.

McDonald Chief Administrative Officer REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Peter Dutchak, Technical Services Officer DATE: May 25, 2004 SUBJECT: Capital Projects with Negative Variances Project #58 - Pioneer Line (County Road #2) Resurfacing Project #59 - Sunset Road Engineering Services Project #60 - Wellington Road (County Road #25)Resurfacing Project #62 - Quaker Road (County Road #36)Resurfacing Introduction As part of a previously approved Capital Budget, $275,000 was allocated to resurface a section of Pioneer Line (County Road #2) with hot mix asphalt. Upon project completion the actual cost was $335,747.82 or 22% over budget estimates. As part of a previously approved Capital Budget, $120,000 was allocated to resurface a section of Quaker Road (County Road #36) with hot mix asphalt. Upon project completion the actual cost was $134,958.85 or 12% over budget estimates. As part of a previously approved Capital Budget, $75,000 was allocated to resurface a section of Wellington Road (County Road #25) with hot mix asphalt. Upon project completion the actual cost was $93,715.52 or 25% over budget estimates. As part of a previously approved Capital Budget, $70,000 was allocated to complete engineering services for the proposed reconstruction of Sunset Road (County Road #4) between St. Thomas and Port Stanley. Upon project completion the actual cost was $112,026.00 or 60% over budget estimates. This report will offer rationale as to why these projects experienced negative variances. It should be noted that 17 of the 29 County Road related capital projects experienced a budget surplus that collectively totalled almost $6,000, therefore, staff is comfortable stating the projects were managed wisely. Discussion / Conclusion When estimating resurfacing projects, staff makes assumptions to derive a quantity of asphalt and granular materials to be used, measured in tonnes. These quantities must be sufficient to correct the 2% roadway crossfall and 6% shoulder crossfa.11. On horizontal curves in the roadway, additional material is often needed to "pad" or build up the superelevation so that the curve can be safely and comfortably negotiated by drivers at the posted speed limit. Curves are also widened by 0.5 metres on the inside and outside to reduce maintenance activities ("dropoffs"). Staff then assumes a unit price per tonne for that quantity of asphalt in a job's specific location taking into account haul roads for the transport of asphalt to the project. The fluctuating Asphalt Cement Price Index is also acknowledged. With many variables to consider and assumptions made, budget estimates and actual project costs can differ. Proiect #58 - Road #2 ResurfacinQ This project involved placing 50mm of hot mix asphalt over a section of Pioneer Line between Coyne Road and Dunborough Road and installing granular "A" on the road shoulders. The estimate for Project #58 was not sufficient because of two major factors. Firstly, a large reverse curve (also known as an "S-curve") is located atDunborough Road. The project initially was intended to end in the middle of these two curves, atDunborough Road. Once the project began it became apparent that both curves should be resurfaced to restore the superelevation for safety, continuity and constructibility reasons. A substantial amount of asphalt was required to widen and restore the curves. Secondly, a request was made from the local municipal staff to place granular shoulder materials on the roadway west of Dunborough Road to eliminate a re-occurring maintenance activity. Because construction equipment was already present at the site it was cost effective to resurface additional length of road shoulder at this location. This additional work also contributed to the cost overrun. Additional funds spent on this project has reduced the cost to resurface the next section of Pioneer Line (between Dunborough Road and West Lorne), currently planned for 2006. Proiect #60 - Road #25 Resurfacinq This project involved placing 50mm of hot mix asphalt over a section of Wellington Road between McBain Line and St. George Street and installing granular "A" on the road shoulders. The estimate for Project #60 was not sufficient to cover the actual project costs because of additional asphalt placed for base repairs and turning lane widening. Proiect #62 - Road #36 Resurfacinq This project involved placing 50mm of hot mix asphalt over a section of Quaker Road between Fruit Ridge Line and North Street inSparta and installing granular "A" on the road shoulders. The original estimate for Project #62 was not sufficient to cover the actual project costs because of additional asphalt placed to restore thesuperelevation and widen a curve on the roadway as well as addressing a water runoff issue with a local resident. Proiect #59 - Sunset Road Enaineerina Service~ This project involved a request for proposal for the survey and detailed design for the proposed reconstruction of Sunset Road (County Road #4) between the City of St. Thomas and the Village of Port Stanley. Staff prepared a "Request for Proposal" document in an attempt to solicit cost effective and innovative ideas for the proposed reconstruction of Sunset Road. Staff structured the fee schedule as a percentage of the value of the total construction cost of the project. Because the project details were to be defined by the successful consultant, staff believed this type of fee schedule to be the most fair and appropriate. Staff assumed a total project cost of $1.5 Million for the drainage and road widening work. Because of past experience with consultants, staff also assumed a design fee percentage of 4.5% of the total project cost and this is what constituted the original project estimate of $70,000. Even though a favourable design fee percentage was received (3.7%), the consultant's total estimated construction cost more than doubled from staff's original estimate ($3.5 Million) once a detailed survey and investigation was completed to determine the actual condition of the infrastructure and hence the reconstruction requirements. Thisdetailed construction estimate was used. to calculate the actual engineering fees. A final. fee was eventually negotiated with the firm at a reduced rate however still substantially more than originally estimated. Recommendation Receive and File.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL FROM: Jim Carter, Corporate Facilities Officer DATE: May 25, 2004 SUBJECT: Capital Projects with Negative Variances Project #61 - Second Floor Washroom Introduction As part of the previously approved capital budget, $35,000 was allocated to replace old fixtures, flooring and wall finishes. Upon project completion the actual cost was $50,193.89 or 43% over budget estimates. This report will offer rationale as to why these projects experienced negative variances. It should be noted that 7 of the 9 building related capital projects experienced a budget surplus that collectively totalled almost $ffJ,OOO, therefore, staff is comfortable stating the projects were managed wisely. Discussion / Conclusion When estimating projects, staff makes assumptions on many factors. With many variables to consider, budget estimates and actual project costs can differ. Proiect #61 - Second Floor Washroom This project involved replacing the old fixtures, flooring and wall finishes at the County Administration Building second floor washroom. Mainly the tenants on the second floor use these washrooms. The washroom had not been refurbished since the building was constructed in 1939. Staff estimated the project at $35,000. A consulting company provided the County of Elgin with the information to solicit prices for this project, which included specifications and drawings. Quotations received for the project exceeded our budget by nearly 100% to an amount of almost $67,000. As the project exceeded the estimate, staff proceeded as the general contractor on the project and solicited prices for individual components. Staff believed the project could be within the approved budget if the County of Elgin managed the project. Once complete the project consisted of approximately $6,800 for engineering/architectural services and $43,500 for project costs. This project has a few items that increased the construction costs. Firstly, the plumbing in this area had materials that could not be used for commercial applications and required removal and replacement. Secondly, architectural plans required additional modifications for existing mechanical piping. Lastly, the Ontarians with Disabilities Act door operators were installed. These items were additions to the contract at a cost of approximately $4,000. Recommendation That this report be received and filed.

REPORT TO COUNTY COUNCIL. FROM: Brian Masschaele, Archivist Jennifer Ford, Financial Services Clerk DATE: 11 June 2004 SUBJECT: Job Creation Partnership Program Projects INTRODUCTION: Human Resources and Skills Development Canada has an employment support program that will enable the County to hire two individuals to engage in special projects on behalf of the County at no direct cost. This report outlines the nature of the program and recommends that an application be made on behalf of the County. DISCUSSION: Staff wish to apply to Human Resources and Skills Development (HRSD) Canada's Job Creation Partnerships Program to hire two individuals to assist with the following projects: the implementation of the County's electronic document management system called Laserfiche and the implementation of the County's asset and inventory control system called Windmill. In the case of the first project, the individual would work with departments to mass-scan and index documents for electronic retrieval, including records such Council minutes, by-laws, employee files and financial records. In the case of the second project, the individual would work with Engineering Services to input data into the software about the County's equipment and building assets. The Job Creation Partnerships Program will enable the County to hire up to two individuals to complete these projects for a period of up to 52 weeks with no direct cost to the County in terms of wages or benefits, including WSIB. The main stipulation is that the individuals must be currently receiving Employment Insurance benefits and must be able to pursue other employment opportunities as they arise. Should one or both of the successful applicants find other employment, he/she would be replaced by another candidate through HRSD until the project has expired. The County is able to interview candidates for their suitability and is not obligated to place individuals should they be deemed unsuitable. Council can be assured that the County has successiveiy used this program in the past for other records management projects There is no direct cost to the County for participation in this program. In both cases, the necessary software has already been purchased. Workspace will be provided through the Archives and Engineering Services. No major additional equipment costs are foreseen. Other costs will be of a strictly in-kind nature, including supervisory time. The individuals will be supervised by the Archivist or designate as part of records management duties in conjunction with the Laserfiche implementation taskforce, an ad hoc committee coordinated by the Financial Services Clerk and comprised of representatives from each department within the County Administration Building. Issues pertaining to confidentiality of records will be handled through the Archivist. If Council approves this application, the Warden and Chief Administrative Officer will be required to sign the application and ensuing contribution agreement with the federal government on behalf of the County. CONCLUSION: HRSD Canada has an employment support program which will enable the County to hire up to two individuals to assist in the implementation of the County's electronic document management system called Laserfiche and the County's inventory control system called Windmill. This report outlines the nature of the program and recommends that an application be made. RECOMMENDATION: THAT staff be authorized to proceed with an application to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada's Job Creation Partnerships Program to employ two individuals to assist in the implementation of the County's electronic document management system and inventory control system for a period up to 52 weeks and at no direct cost to the County; THAT the recipients report to the Archivist and/or designate; AND THAT the Warden and Chief Administrative Officer be authorized to sign the application for funding and subsequent contribution agreement with the Government of Canada.

Veger, Director of Financial Services DATE: June 9, 2004 SUBJECT: Royal Canadian Legions - Update INTRODUCTION: The Municipality of West Elgin forwarded a request to the County: Resolved that Council request the County of Elgin amend By-law 98-34 to include Royal Canadian Legions, And further that the County are requested to assume their portion of the refund. Carried. By-law 98-34 provides a property tax rebate program for eligible charities. DISCUSSION: The Municipalities were polled with the following results: Southwold, Dutton/Dunwich, and Malahide - no legions Central Elgin and Aylmer have their own by-laws in place that speak directly to a reduction or rebate of the legions' taxes. Bayham - provides a grant - do not agree with adding legions to the Charity Rebate Program. West Elgin - two legions - have their own by-law in place for legions. Council requested some additional information on the tax rebate program. Currently only Bayham has a charity that has applied for a reduction under the by-law. The cost to the County in 2003 was $101.68. Legions are assessed as residential and not commercial. The County by-law states that the charity must "be occupying leased commercial or leased industrial property. A charitable organization that owns the property it occupies is assessed as residential and therefore the rebate does not apply." The total assessed value (residential) of the five legions within the County was 737,000 in 2003. County taxes on this assessed value (2004 rates) are approximately $4,240. This would be the amount charged back to the County by the Municipalities as our share of the rebate program. Royal Canadian Legions do not meet the criteria as determined within the by-law - see attached Appendix 1 - Similar Organizations Eligible for Tax Rebates and Appendix 2 - Organizations Not Eligible for Tax Rebates. Municipalities have the authority to reduce or rebate the Legions' taxes apart from the County By-law 98- 34. Allowing the Royal Canadian Legions to be included in the Charitable Organizations Rebate by-law is precedent setting. It opens the door to other organizations to approach the County for inclusion in the by-law. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the Municipality of West Elgin be advised that the County is not prepared to include Royal Canadian Legions in its Tax Relief - Charitable Organizations by-law.

Your proposal was received on April 16, 2004 and has been assigned the following file number and name: Referral File No.: 04-HCAA-CA4-000-000685/SA-04-0685 Title: SLOPE STABILIZATION, BIG OTTER CREEK, ELGIN COUNTY; Lot 12-13, Concession 1, Bayham Municipality Please refer to this number on your correspondence or inquiries. Based on the information provided, I have concluded that your proposal will result in the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction offish habitat (HADD). This HADD is a direct result of the destruction of fish habitat from the placement of gabion baskets and annour stone along the banks and in the water of Big Oller Creek. The harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat is prohibited unless authorized by Fisheries and Oceans Canada pursuant to subsection 35(2) of the Fisheries Act. In reviewing your proposal, we will consider the Department's Policy for the Management of Fish Habitat, which provides that no authorizations be issued unless acceptable measures to compensate for any habitat loss are developed and implemented by the proponent. Furthermore, no authorizations will be issued in cases where the loss of a specific habitat is considered unacceptable. Attached is an Application for Authorization form to be completed and returned to us. It is my understanding that these works are likely needed to stabilize a section of Highway 19 north of Port Burwell that appears to be sloughing/failing. While it is likely that these works may be needed, there may be alternatives to the infilling along the banks RECE!VED JUN 0 92004 of Big Otter Creek. And with these alternatives, there is a possibility to avoid needing to undergo a complete Fisheries Act Authorization process. Please be advised that subsection 35(2) of the Fisheries Act has been included in the list oflaws that trigger the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). This means that Fisheries and Oceans Canada is required to conduct an environmental assessment of your project, as prescribed by CEAA, before an authorization can be issued. Your project information will be circulated to other federal government departments for their review and comments. If, as a result of this review, we are satisfied that your project, after taking into account the implementation of any mitigation measures, is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects, an authorization under the Fisheries Act may be issued. IMPORTANT NOTE: Information provided by you related to the Environmental Assessment for this project will be part of the CEAA Public Registry and will be made available to members of the public, if requested. A package with additional information about Public Registry requirements is attached. Please ensure that you review and understand these requirements. Please be aware that release of documents to the public may be part ofthe CEAA process. Forms have been provided in the package for your convenience. You may sign and return Form A (and/or Form B, if required) along with your completed application for a Fisheries Act Authorization. I will contact you once our review of this project under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act is completed.

The Vital Statistics Act (VSA) provides that any person, upon application and upon payment of the required fee, may obtain a death certificate in respect of any death ofwhicb there is a registration in the Office of the Registrar General. As you may be aware, the issue of bulk record disclosure is not as straightforward. The Ministry of Consumer and Business Services has developed a process for reviewing requests that allows the Ministry to ensure that: the requestor has legal authority to collect the requested information; the Ministry has legal authority to disclose the information; the privacy of the individuals at issue is protected; and that the physical security of the requestor's facilities and records meets the Ministry's strict requirements. The purpose for the collection is also considered. MP AC may submit a data services request to my office for information (eg. death, birth, marriage). MP AC will be required to provide certain information, which may be reviewed by the Ministry's Privacy and Security Review Committee. Any further correspondence on this matter may be addressed directly to my attention. Sincerely, ~.~~~ Judi Hartman Deputy Registrar General c.

ON N5R 5Vl Dear Mrs. Heffren: Thank you for your letter of May 14,2004 with regard to Ontario Regulation 170/03 (0. Reg. 170/03). As Minister of the Environment, I have heard many comments and concerns about the practicality and cost of the requirements under the DrinkingWater System Regulation (0. Reg, 170/03), particularly for smaller and non-residential waterworks. At this time, I am pleased to advise you about actions the ministry has taken on this issue. As you may know, on May 12, 2004, I announced proposed amendments to O. Reg. 170/03 that would extend the deadline to install treatment equipment for some systems that were to come into compliance this summer. This would give the ministry time to consult over the summer months on making the regulation more workable. A copy of the news release is attached for your reference. The proposed amendments have been posted to the Environmental Registry fora 30-day public-corinnent period. This is accessible on the ministry's web site at www.ene.2:ov.on.ca by clicking on "Environmental Registry", and searching for RA04E0004 using the "Search Notices" button. The comment period ends on June II, 2004. The proposed amendments would allow the ministry to consider further potential changes to the regulation to make it more workable. The ministry's review will. focus on fmding . ways for smaller water systems to meet the drinking water standards in an affordable way. As part of this review, the ministry will consult broadly with affected stakeholders, particularly those residents, businesses, and organizations which depend on small systems for their water. A consultation process will be announced shortly. ...2 * 0761G(03'01) 100% Recycled Chlorine Free. Made in Canada Mrs. Sandra J. Heffren Page 2.

Following consultations, a revised regulation will be brought forward in the fall, and it will be posted on the Environmental Registry for public comment before being finalized.

"Our people's health is our most precious resource. We share a responsibility to protect it from harm," said Dombrowsky. "The Advisory Council will help us ensure that Ontario's standards for drinking water quality and drinking water tests are among the most stringent in the world. Our citizens deserve no less." The Advisory Council will be chaired by Jim Merritt, a former Assistant Deputy Minister with the Ministry of the Environment. With members drawn from key professional organizations with expertise in areas related to drinking water, the council will make recornmendations to the l\.fh'lister of the Environment on provincial drinking water standards and other measures to hul'~ v Ie the safety and quality of Ontario's drinking water supply. The establishment and mandate of the Advisory Council satisfy six specific recommendations made by the O'Connor Commission. In response to concerns raised by rural municipalities, public health officials and small privately-run systems across the province, the minister also announced proposed changes to the Drinking Water Systems Regulation. These proposed changes extend the deadline for some systems to install treatment equipment to December 31, 2004 and will allow the ministry to consult on further changes to the regulation to make compliance more feasible for small waterworks. http://www.ene.gov.on.caimoescripts/web2printer4.php? img=O&lnk=O&style=/c... 2004/05/13 ____~_____........_.L~ .L\./... -la5~.kU.iL "The previous government didn't consider the effects of the drinking water regulation on rural Ontario," Dombrowsky said.

Council members are from key professional organizations with expertise in the areas of microbiology, engineering, utility operations and public health and a record of interest and accomplishment in areas related to drinking water. The council will contribute to ensuring Ontario's standards for drinking water quality and testing are consistent with the most up-to- date information and practices, and that the standards-setting process is transparent with increased public input. The Advisory Council has a mandate to: · review scientific and technical documentation of proposed standards; . consult and provide feedback to the public; · undertake additional consultation to clarify and address issues; and · consider and make recommendations on adopting standards for contaminants that are not currently being considered through the federal-provincial process for developing Canada- wide drinking water guidelines. The Advisory Council will first focus on the following priorities: · replacing the total coliform test with an E. coli test; · the desirability of a turbidity limit that is lower than the limit specified in the federal- provincial guidelines; · treatment standards for protozoa based on source water quality; and . reviewing Ontario's standards for disinfection by-products. Through the Advisory Council, the McGuinty government is implementing six recommendations (Recommendations 25 to 29 and 31) regarding an advisory council and standards made by Commissioner 0 'Connor in Part Two of the Walkerton Inquiry report. http://www.ene.gov.on.calmoescripts/web2printer4.php? img=O&1nk=O&style=/c... 2004/05/13 -30- Contact: Art Chamberlain Minister's Office (416) 314-5139 John Steele Ministry of the Environment (416) 314-6666 (e) Oueen's Printer for Ontario. 2004 I Privacv Policv I Disclaimer I Last Modified: 30 April 2004 Printed from I Imprime de : httn:/lwww_ene.qov .on.calenvision/news/2004105120 1 mh.htm http://www.ene.gov.on.calmoescripts!web2printer4.php? img=O&1nk=O&style=Ic... 2004/05/1::: Printer-friendly version @ Ontario Ministry of the Environment Media Backgrounder May 12, 2004 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS REGULATION (0. Reg. 170/03) The Drinking Water System Regulation (O.Reg. 170/03) was implemented in June 2003 to address recommendations of the O'Connor Commission. The ministry has heard from rural municipalities and operators of non-municipal drinking water systems about its impact on their ability to continue to provide services to their clients. The Ministry of the Environment has proposed amendments to the Drinking Water Systems Regulation which respond to these concerns and give the ministry time to consult over the summer months with rural municipalities and operators of non-municipal drinking water systems, medical officers of health and health officials on making the regulation more workable. The govemmrnt remains committed to providing safe, clean drinking water, and is prepared to look at workable solutions towards achieving that goal. The proposed amendments, affecting both municipal and privately-run drinking water systems, are as follows: . The treatment deadlines will be extended from July 1,2004 to December 31, 2004 for surface water systems in the three categories listed below, as long as the system does not serve a designated facility (i.e. school or health/social care facility): o non-municipal year-round residential systems (i.e., mobile home parks, subdivisions, condos/apartments) o large non-municipal - non-residential systems (i.e., systems serving hotels, resorts and campgrounds with less than 6 hook-ups) o large municipal- non-residential systems (large community centres and recreational facilities, for example, capable of supplying water at a rate greater than 2.9 litres of per second) The treatment deadline for groundwater water systems in the three categories listed above remains December 31, 2005. . Small municipal- non-residential systems (i.e., systems serving small community centres and town halls not capable of supplying 2.9litres of water per second) would be allowed http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/moescripts/web2printer4.php? img=O&Ink=O&style=/c... 2004/05/13 to post signs until December 31, 2004 rather than conduct tests required by the regulation. Signs would state that the water has not been tested or treated for drinking water purposes. . Small non-municipal non-residential systems (i.e., motels, resorts and restaurants not capable of supply 2.9 litres of water per second) would receive a deadline extension to June 1,2005 to notify the ministry of their intention to comply, apply for relief from treatment or post warning notices. . As well, changes have been proposed to the sequence of corrective actions for some adverse test results to better provide for the immediate CVH"V~~on of the problem, and to the definition of 'food premises' to be clear that systems that do not serve the public, such as food manufacturers, are not included in the regulation.

It calls for a New Deal for municipalities built around an improved working relationship between the federal government and the municipal sector. The platform is now available on our Web site at www.fcm.ca. Called "A New Deal: A Partnership for Quality of Life," the document outlines the municipal sector's election expectations. Topping that list is a call for a new partnership "in implementing the national agenda." In addition to improved policy coordination and consultation among governments, the platform also calls on the federal government to spell out the details of this new relationship in a formal resolution of Parliament Such a resolution would provide a powerful political base for a New Deal. The platform also calls for a commitment to a revenue-sharing agreement that would provide municipal governments with five cents per litre of the federal fuel excise tax by the end of 2004. Other highlights include: . Securing a commitment from the federal government of $700 million per year toward investments in five priority areas: municipal infrastructure not covered by revenue-sharing; affordable housing; community and children's infrastructure; and security, emergency preparedness and health. . $25 million to help municipalities develOp best practices and sustainability strategies . $25 million to improve research on determinants of quality of life, including better tools to measure outcomes and success. It is time for a New Deal for Canada's communities. Over the next five weeks, we must do everything we can to ensure that all candidates and parties debate these issues, take a clear stand, and endorse our positions. The election platform may be downloaded in PDF format from the FCM Web site at www.fcm.ca. For more information: Massimo Bergamini, (613) 241-5221, ext .247.

The Thames Valley District Health Council is very pleased with the excellent response the Forum received. Without the collaborative efforts of our partners, including the County of Elgin, the level of participation and success would not have been achieved. A copy of the evaluation form results is attached for your information. The Health Council will continue to develop comprehensive plans for Primary Health Care in our diverse district Copies of the plans will be forwarded to you upon their completion.

Comments: · Disappointing (a bit?) the emphasis on physician aspect without anyone being able to speak to other discipline ie. Glenda's questions re nurses etc. . Healthier food choices! . Well done! Given Nursing has a major impact and is the largest single profession in primary care should have had a nurses perspective on panel. . Improved time management between presentations. Some were rushed because of time exceeding by others. . Question I would have liked to ask: Given the historical fact of the public dental health care provided by public dental health nurses in Saskatchewan in the '50+ 1960's + 1970's (some trained at U of Toronto). To all 3 panelists now in 2004 is there a discemible, measurable health baseline achievement that relates to that foundational primary dental care. · Addition of another panel member discussing the importance of other health professional especially nurses who have the largest numbers in health care and primary health care integration of public health is the area of primary health care as part of the discussion. . Re Minister and Mr. Deeter - content was familiar and we've hear it before, would have liked to hear more about the actual implementation - sustainability and not "pat, old" promises . Perhaps hearing from other disciplines with creative community programs. Overall an excellent session - thanks for the opportunity. . Where was the voice and leadership that the nursing sector could bring on primary health care for the forum. Nurse practitioners present may have balanced the discussion by Dr. Carol Herbert. Only point mentioned by Carol H. was slide vision 2020 "we will work in partnership with health organizations..." did not include professionals (ie.other disciplines) - Did she miss the point of the forum . Excellent - Little rushed but +++ content Thank you . Consumers who have used the various models could have pointed out what works well what doesn't. Lecture models are tedious at times. . More input from multidisciplinary aspect - front line. - what's working out there - already have input from managers . More time for panel presentations, less for "political" and "theoretical" talk . Representation from NP: PHC - facility/agencies where it is working · Need for better use of microphones from the floor and in the group discussions . Registration table (organization) . Communicate action items from today's session. Involvement of family physicians, primary nurse practitioners etc. Although challenging, have to find a way to include e.g. Weds p.rn. session, evening session, pay select family docs to be involved as "consultants" to the process. Create family doc champions/ _ practitioner champions . Afternoon session facilitator - talked far too much and didn't allow other enough time to speak . Provide microphone and speakers for Oxford County Room . Increase number of bathrooms Increase space around refreshments . More time for the aftemoon session so that we could have walked away with some enthusiasm, rather than identifying issues that have been obvious for years. . Turn up the heat (or turn off the AC) . Can't think of anything . Carol Herbert missed the point of the forum - in some ways her topic exemplified all the issues which are barriers to moving forward PHC (perhaps she wasn't briefed well??) It's like she doesn't "get" it or have insight into the issues. Kind of discouraging, but a reminder we have a long way to go. Medicine is still vel}' ''silo'd'' . Registration desk - congested Vel}' well organized . Health lunch + longer lunch easier registration smaller groups . Start at 1 0 am - run until 5 pm Great moming . I think this has been excellent - now to carl}' the plan forward to obtain results. Vel}' pleased and interested to be a part of this process . Excellent discussions . Registration table poorly located. Should have been located away from the food and door, Want line for registration - more people working at registration - late start . Registration area crowded - would recommend increased space for group attendees . Did not have expectations - came as a health care professional as well as a consumer of health care - everything should be relevant to everyone . Well done Thank you . Great choices of speakers . Excellent knowledge is fuel . Vel}' good input, more time needed for discussion from audience . Thank you - It was a great moming . There should be opportunity to discuss what people and communities can do in order NOT to rely as much on primal}' health practitioners . No recommendations Tough to get up early - meant we heard the Minister so it was worth it . Many thanks! .

It is a crucial time for municipal governments, as we strive to win a New Deal for all our communities. Each FCM member strengthens our voice. We have had an extremely successful year, as reflected in the Speech from the Throne and the federal budget. The 100 per cent GST refund, accelerated infrastructure commitments and the promise of a new partnership with municipal governments are all steps in the right direction. These things happened because we were united and spoke with one voice. But as much as we have accomplished, we have even more work to do. We will continue efforts to persuade the federal, provincial and territorial governments to begin negotiations to ensure municipal governments have a new source of stable, reliable and predictable funding, such as a share of the gas tax. Your support is more important than ever, and we will call on you and mayors and councillors across Canada to help keep municipai issues front and centre on the federal agenda.
