No concerns however when future development

Additional Comments:
 This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence,
barn, and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately
28 hectares (69 acres). The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the
boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area.
 The proposed severing of the 30 acre, Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual
development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for
agricultural purposes.
 The Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified
settlement areas. The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern
boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area. The proposed
consent is consistent with the PPS.
 Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development
to settlement areas, such as Gorrie. The Howick OP, in particular, has a policy that
specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such
as is proposed by this application. Therefore, the proposed consent conforms with the Huron
County OP and the Howick OP.
 Huron County Public Works has no objections to application; however, they do recommend
that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed:
access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1’ reserve be established), storm water
management, traffic impact, and that the property be under site plan control.
 The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application; however
they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a
hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and
within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required.
June 10, 2015
Page 5 of 6
 The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump
out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received.
 Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas
so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage
Act. In addition, since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be
demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing), under the
Ontario Building Code. These comments can be addressed through conditions to the
approval.
 If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a
rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the
housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn
in the future without a rezoning.
 No comments have been received from neighbours.
 As the application conforms with the official plans, is consistent with the Provincial Policy
Statement, and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be
approved with the following conditions:
Recommended Conditions (denoted by )
Note: The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council.

Provided the conditions are fulfilled within one year, the application is valid for two years
from the date of decision.
Municipal Requirements


Municipality (for example: servicing connections, cash-in-lieu of park dedication, property
maintenance, compliance with zoning by-law provisions for structures).

Report to Council - Clerk-2015-16
Title of Report: Deciding on a Method to Fill the Vacancy
From: Carol Watson, Clerk
Date: June 16, 2015
Recommendation: That Council
(a) fill the vacancy by appointing a person who has consented to accept the office if
appointed; or
(b) require a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy in accordance with the Municipal
Elections Act, 1996.
Background: On May 27, 2015, the Clerk received a letter of resignation from
Councillor Richard Orr vacating his elected office of Councillor effective June 1, 2015.
At the June 2, 2015 Council meeting, Council declare the office of one Councillor for the
Township of Howick to be vacant.
Staff Comments: The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the
Municipal Act, 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act, 1996. Within 60 days after Council
has declared a seat vacant, Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or
pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is
August 1 and July 21, 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to
August 1).
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy. In either
option, time is of the essence.
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in
the Township of Howick. There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is
carried out. Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints.
To be qualified to hold office, a person must meet the following qualifications:
- 18 years of age or older;
- a Canadian citizen;
- a resident of the Township of Howick, or an owner or tenant of land in the
municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant; and
- not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding
municipal office.
If Council chooses to appoint, staff suggests that applications be called.
Proposed Timeline:
June 16 – pass motion to fill the vacancy by appointment (post info on Howick’s
website)
July 1 – call for Candidates in “What’s Happening in Howick”
July 13 – applications due at 12 noon
July 21 – (49 days since declaring vacancy) candidates attend Special (5 pm) Council
meeting called for the purpose of considering and appointing a candidate (Councillor to
take oath of office at the regular Council meeting at 7 pm)
Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held. Should
Council choose this option, Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to
make that decision and to pass a by-law.
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election, Section 65 of the Municipal
Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60)
days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall
be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day.
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as
possible in the same manner as regular elections.
Proposed Timeline
June 16 – pass by-law to fill the vacancy by by-election (post info on Howick’s website)
June 17 – Nomination Period begins
July 1 – call for Candidates in “What’s Happening in Howick”
July 13 (27 days since by-law passed) – Nomination Day (nominations close at 2 pm)
Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) – By-election Day
Sept 1 – new Councillor takes oath of office
Financial Impact: Cost will depend on the process Council chooses. If Council chooses
to fill the vacancy by appointment, there will be costs related to advertising and printing.
The estimated cost of running a by-election is approximately $10,000. The 2014 budget
amount for the municipal election was $20,000 and actual cost was approx $13,500.
The remaining $6,500 was put into general reserves. The 2015 budget includes $5,000
for election.
Concluding Comments: Council must meet its legislative requirements by making a
decision on whether to fill the vacancy through an appointment process or through a byelection.
Respectfully submitted: Carol Watson, Clerk
Report to Council - Clerk-2015-17
Title of Report: Interim Agreement for Canine Control Officer
From: Carol Watson, Clerk
Date: June 16, 2015
Recommendation: That Council authorize Reeve Versteeg to sign the Interim
Agreement for Canine Control Officer as presented.
Background: The following was included in a report to Council from By-law
Enforcement Officer Edwards presented at the June 2, 2015 Council meeting:
“Our current canine control, kennel inspector has had a personal injury and is unable
to perform the duties. At this time it is unclear when or even if he will be able to return
to work. In the interim a family member has been assisting but their experience and
insurance coverage is unclear.”
The following resolution was passed:
Be it resolved that Council enter into an interim agreement with R&R Pet Paradise
for the covering of canine control and kennel inspections duties at a cost of 52
cents/km, call out/pick up cost $50 + mileage and kennel inspection cost $100.00
+ mileage. Carried. Resolution No. 168/15
Staff Comments: Staff drafted an interim agreement between the Township of Howick
and R&R Pet Paradise appointing them as Canine Control Officer to enforce By-law No.
21-2014, being a by-law to put in place regulations associated with the control, licencing
and registration of dogs within the Township of Howick.
Financial Impact: Costs have increased by $10 for call out/pick up; the previous
boarding fee was $45 per dog and is now $20 per day, kennel inspection costs have
increased from $60 to $100. Howick has one kennel licence inspection outstanding for
2015 that was submitted January 21, 2015.
Concluding Comments: Staff recommends signing of the interim agreement for the
appointment of a Canine Control Officer.
Respectfully submitted: Carol Watson, Clerk

To Whom it may concern without
prejudice:
I can't express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do. As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains. Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently
dropped from the
"who the drain effects" list.
I brought it to the attention
of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us.
They then came out and did test holes to determine
work and they did not do their testing properly.
that "it would work".
It now shows that it didn't
What recourse has been taken up with Burnside?
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm.
For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed.
I'm very disappointed
in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community
today.
very bad decision and an outdated
I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive, it's due to
Drainage Act.
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community.
As for the billing, there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it is
very unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days. I'm paying the revised invoice #7417 for
$6615.00 and expect your consideration
With Regards,
~~
Michelle Kennedy

County of Huron Appreciation and Recognition Day for Emergency Workers
Sunday, September 6, 2015
The daily actions and ongoing sacrifices of our local emergency workers to keep us safe are
remarkable. That's why the County of Huron has declared Sunday, September 6,2015 as
Appreciation and Recognition Day for Emergency Workers. It is a chance to show our
appreciation and support of local individuals who provide emergency services, such as
police, fire, ambulance and other emergency response workers.
We have asked all local churches to participate by including information in their service
that day. We are hoping they will take a few minutes with the congregation to recognize
local members that serve and protect us. It's one small way of saying" Thsnk-Yoii' to
valuable emergency workers in our communities.
We have also sent a letter to all local emergency services letting them know the County of
Huron has declared this special day on their behalf and to thank them for their ongoing
work.
We also encourage you, as a local politician, to be personally involved in supporting this
important day of recognition in whatever way is possible in your community.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We are very interested in your
thoughts and ideas about this day.
Please contact Ieff Horseman, Acting Chief, Emergency Services for the County of Huron
at (519) 524-8394 ext. 3314 or jhorscll1cU1@huroncounty.ca.
Thank you for your support in making this important day a success.
Sincerely,
~ arden

Huron County Crime Stoppers Golf Tournament
May-28-15 11:19:31 AM
HCCS_Golf_Brochure.pdf
2015_Golf_Poster.gif
Dear Reeve Versteeg, Council and staff of Howick Township:
The Huron County Crime Stoppers is hosting our annual Charity golf tournament on Friday, July 10
at the Exeter Golf Club, and we are inviting all Huron Municipalities to participate!
We are hoping for at least one team to represent Howick Township, and if you would consider
being a Gold or Silver sponsor. Our goal is to have a team represent each Municipality in Huron
County to create a little friendly competition and, of course, bragging rights. Wouldn't it be great to
go into South Huron and show them what Howick Township is made of??? :)
You can register your teams online here: www.hc-cs.ca
We are also encouraging more ladies to join us! For some reason that escapes us, the ratio of lady
golfers in our tournament has been low, and that's just criminal. We have a ladies longest drive,
closest to the hole etc, and we'd like to see it more challenging to win! Our goal is to have at least 5
ladies teams, and we're hoping you can help with that!!!
Please let me know if you are able to sponsor our tournament, and provide a donation to our prize /
auction table. If you have any questions about the Crime Stoppers program or our tournament,
please do not hesitate to call me.
PS - we have created an event for this on our Facebook page here. As a HUGE FAVOR, would you
please click "invite" to share with all your friends? It's a no-cost way of getting the word out. While
you're there, feel free to "like" the Crime Stoppers page as well. Very much appreciated!!! :)

Ontario is launching a review of the Municipal Elections Act to take one step closer to
giving municipalities the option of using ranked ballots in future municipal elections.
This review will explore ways in which ranked ballots can be implemented by
municipalities across the province.
In addition, the review will ensure that the rules governing how municipal leaders are
elected are clear and simple, and reflect how modern campaigns and elections
should be run.
Over the next couple of months our government will be consulting with the public,
municipalities, community groups and key stakeholders to hear about what’s working,
what we can continue improving and suggested solutions.

Le gouvernement de l’Ontario a lancé un examen de la Loi de 1996 sur les élections
municipales. Cet examen constitue un pas de plus vers l’octroi aux municipalités de
l’option d’utiliser le scrutin préférentiel dans les futures élections municipales. Il vise à
déterminer les façons dont les municipalités de la province peuvent mettre en œuvre
le scrutin préférentiel.
De plus, l’examen fera en sorte que les règles qui régissent l’élection des dirigeants
municipaux soient claires et simples et correspondent à la façon dont les campagnes
et les élections modernes devraient se dérouler.
Au cours des deux prochains mois, le gouvernement mènera des consultations pour
savoir ce qui fonctionne et ce qu’il peut continuer à améliorer, et pour obtenir des
suggestions de solutions.
