Green Timiskaming Development Co-operative Inc.RR #1 Charlton,Ontario P0J1B0 Tuesday, July-24-12

Englehart Town Council Englehart, ONP0J-1H0

Dear Mayor and Council:The Ontario Power Authority is about to release FIT 2 which has agreements for 20 year contracts to produce renewable energy. In the interest of keeping the benefits of this developments local, 50 Mega Watts is being made available to community owned co-operatives providing 51% of the ownership is local. This allows for benefits to the roof owner and to the local investors. There will only be a 60 day window in which to undertake the preliminary engineering, and approvals required to complete applications.

Solar development potential is easily under estimated. The Blind River community with a population of 1800 people worked together and applied for 60 solar PV microfit installations. In combination with other town sites the community will be bring in over $6 million annually for the next 20 years. Other communities such as Kapuskasing, Hearst (has 30 sites) and Sault Ste. Marie have taken renewable energy on as an economic development objective and now have long term financial gains.

Timiskaming and the communities in it are well positioned to take advantage of the new FIT programme as it has already a energy co-operative, expertise in solar project development and a community based financing model for development. With this model nearly all of the profits stay in the community and should bring benefits for over 2 decades.

Green Timiskaming is willing to support and undertake development of community owned renewable energy projects. We bring local technical expertise in a not for profit co-operative model that will allow local investors to invest by purchasing community bonds at fixed return rates.

While a council presentation is planned for September this may be too late to engage in the application process. Perhaps we can meet with economic development staff and

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Green Timiskaming Development Co-operative joins community power Federation to solve Ontario’s green energy struggle

Charlton, Timiskaming, July 31, 2012

The new Ontario Power Authority FIT 2.0rules,have the potential to give Ontario communitiesa major new economic boost through renewable energy.

To optimize the economic impact of these FIT 2 changes,Green Timiskaming, along with similar organizations across Ontario, have joined together to form a new umbrella organization – the Federation of Community Power Co-operatives (FCPC) – to facilitate co-op led project development by sharing collective experiences, expertise, knowledge and tested development tools and resources.

“The FIT 1.0 program has been controversial because people don’t feel they’re taking part in the current energy transition,” says Deb Doncaster, head of the Community Power Fund. “Co-ops are attractive because every community can now have a direct economic stake in local projects, and thus in the program as a whole.”

Despite the best of intentions, Ontario’s Feed-In tariff (FIT) program has resulted in contentious debates over green energy in the province. Community participation in projects was suggested as a solution but community power proponents have had limited success to date. The new Federation of Community Power Co-operatives intends to change all that under new FIT rules anticipated any day. By unifying the co-op sector under one umbrella and sharing resources, the Federation expects to support at least 100 MW of community-controlled projects by 2015.

“The FCPC will allow Timiskaming and other communities to develop their own renewable energy projects rather that renting space or partnering with outside interests. This will allow full community ownership which maximizes and distributes the economic impact in our local communities. Communities can start with smaller projects and then expand into larger projects-of-scale that can stabilize the economy of our local economies. By learning how to invest in ourselves we can develop a prosperous local economy” says Ambrose Raftis, Chair of Green Timiskaming Development Co-operative.

Debates over land-use, energy prices and the impact of renewable energy have been a challenge for Ontario’s Green Energy and Economy Act and Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) program. But with a recent Energy Minister Directive, new FIT rules will contain explicit provisions for co-ops and First Nations that are developing renewable energy projects, with the goal of greater citizen support through community participation, ownership and profit-sharing.

Green Timiskaming is working to engage local residents, municipal leaders and community decision makers in renewable energy. Green Timiskaming with a membership of over 50 people, businesses, municipalities and a community financial institution is working to

promote several solar PV installations on both public and private locations. These projects are open to local investment through the issue of 20 year community bonds that pay attractive return rates.

Community owned power can have a major economic as well as environmental impact on Northern Ontario. Local ownership will allow millions of energy dollars, which would have left the community,to stay here and circulate in the local community. As an example of what is possible, Blind River, with a population of 1800 people, has over 60 renewable energy projects planned. This is expected to bring in over$6 million annually for at least a 20 year period. That’s the equivalent of having a business that employs 150 people coming to town. That is without any multipliers. With multipliers it could be the equivalent economic impacts of 250 to 400 full time jobs.

Local owned renewable energy, if fully developed, in solar, wind, biomass and bio gas, as has been done in Northern Europe countries, could rival the forest or mining industry for economic impact. Every community no matter size or location could have a piece of the action.” Says Ambrose Raftis Chair of Green Timiskaming. “Renewable energy could revitalize the economy of the North and keep those economic benefits here to fund the building of more local business to service the increased wealth of the region.”

The new FIT rules (known as FIT 2.0) prioritize community projects through a “points” system and “set-aside” of 10% capacity for renewable energy projects that are majority owned by co-ops and aboriginal communities. FIT 2.0 is a strong signal by the Ontario Power Authority to encourage public participation in building Ontario’s renewable energy infrastructure.

By forming a Federation, community power co-ops will have a common voice to negotiate with government and private developers. Co-ops will also work together and share their resources, tools and knowledge to help the sector meet its community power set-aside.

“Judith Lipp, Chair of the FCPC, says the Federation is eager to help other co-ops and proponents of renewable power, and encourages them to join the conversation. “Community power has a great future if we work together to make it happen,” she adds.

Re: Proposal for Community owned Solar Projects

Englehart Town Council Englehart, ONP0J-1H0

23-Aug-12Dear Mayor and Council:

Green Timiskaming Development Co-operative Inc. proposes to develop a community owned solar project for the roof for the Englehart Arena. Unlike other project proposals this would be a 100% community owned project.

The rates were released and according to our estimates the municipality, with no investment, would be paid $540,000 over a 20-Year period. This $27,000 per year would be paid out with a copy of the production statement on a monthly basis. If the town wanted to invest further in the project they could join with local investors to increase their return. This is open to negotiation.

The big advantage to a community owned project is that much more of the project value and returns would stay in the community.

In projects that are owned by outside investors using outside financial institutes, 87% of the project value leaves the community with only 10 % staying to benefit the community. Community owned projects retain 97% of the project value in the community where it circulates and stimulates the local economy over the next 20 years.

...

Agenda Item # 42.


of 48

The Green Energy Act and the FIT programme is one of the best economic development opportunities rural Northern Ontario communities have had in some time if, they are managed wisely. By owning the projects we can optimize the benefits and circulate millions of dollars that can become an ongoing stimulator of the local economy.

The application window for projects is limited and we understand this may be the last opportunity for renewable energy development due to building political pressure.

We need a response soon to be able to assemble the financial support and project development work required for the project. We need a roof rental agreement to proceed further with engineering.

I could attend a meeting either a committee meeting or council meeting to discuss details. The sooner the better.

Sincerely for Green Timiskaming,

Ambrose Raftis for

Town of Englehart Englehart Town Council Englehart, ON P0J-1H0

September 5, 2012 Re: Economic Development Proposal for Englehart Residents Dear Mayor and Council; The Ontario Power Authority has recently released new rates that are reflected in this proposal, along with new FIT 2 requirements that apply to Community owned solar projects. FIT 2 gives advantages to projects owned by people in the local municipality but it comes with a very short application window and some additional requirements. To summarize:

The window of application closes Nov 30 2012. There are suggestions that there may not be another application window due to growing political opposition.

Community Projects must have 50 municipal land owners as members of the co-op from the municipality that the project is located.

Significant deposits are required some of which are not returned if the project does not proceed.

Priority is given to community owned projects,

An extra 1 cent per KWH is given to community projects for the 20 year contract. The regulations are in place to promote communities maximizing their benefit from the program instead of giving away their economic development potential to outside developers. This is accomplished by requiring a minimum of 51% local ownership. This gives an opportunity for the profits to stay in the local economy. Green Timiskaming has access to provincial wide expertise with these types of projects and is willing to work with communities to develop and operate these facilities. The local investors will retain full control of the projects through their membership in Green Timiskaming Development Co-operative. It should be pointed out that although Green Timiskaming Dev. Co-op is a regional organization, this project is an Englehart projects and will have most of the economic impact there. In order to proceed with these projects we will require support of the municipality by 26th of September in order to have time to prepare the application. This support is needed in the following areas:

...

Agenda Item # 42.

A roof rental agreement for the project or land agreement.

Public support from the council in promoting the local investment opportunity.

Technical support in the collection of information, and installation of the projects. The economic impacts of these projects are very real and these two projects would mean an additional $3.8 million dollars coming to this area in profits over 20 years with an additional $674,000 going directly to the municipality for rental. Green Timiskaming has used the RET Screen Model along with current rates and costs to detail the economic benefits of three projects on municipal property and one on hospital property. The Municipal projects are listed below.

Investment Protocol Local investors own and will control the project through Green Timiskaming who will administer the project. The construction will be undertaken by contract with Options for Green Energy who will supply the debt capital (70%), project management during constructions including contract enforcement on behalf of the owners through Green Timiskaming for a 3% of capital cost fee. This is a similar economic model that is used to build co-operative housing. The owner’s investment will be in the form of $5K guaranteed community bonds that pay 5% annually the first 5 years, then an additional increase to 6-7-8% in 5 year blocks. At the end of the 20 years the bonds will be repaid in full. The bonds are secured through a 20-year contract with the Hydro One. Any excess revenue is held in trust for reinvestment in new community projects. What is required to proceed to Application Stage?

Support of the municipal government in the form of a rental agreement, or land lease.

Assistances from the municipality in promoting the local investment through publication and attending public meetings.

Tecumseh Solar Arena Project

A minimum of 50 land owners from the municipality signing up as members of Green Timiskaming as an expression of interest.

An adequate number of local investors to raise 30% of the capital as equity in the form of community bonds.

Preliminary design and access approval Once the application is in there is a limited window of time to get the project complete. On completion the bond holders will receive their annual interest payment; the host roof owner will receive a monthly payment which is 10% of the gross income. At the end of the project the bond holder will have the option of a full refund or further investment depending on the current value of the solar system. Funds will be set aside to remove the panels if no economic value can be established. Any additional funds will be directed toward additional community development projects. These projects have the potential for launching a new community owned development culture. Like many communities in Northern Europe this will result in ongoing, secure development and a stronger future for the region. After presentation of this proposal I will look forward to discussions at the Sept 12th meeting. I have a meeting with Earlton the same night so I may be late getting there. Feel free to forward any thoughts and considerations, Sincerely,

RE: Municipal Representation on the Library Board

Dear Ms. Jana Van Oosten,

The Council of the Municipality of Charlton and Dack has reviewed your letter of July 12th, 2012

regarding municipal representation on the Englehart Public Library Board. Council continues to be concerned

about the lack of voting representation for a significant budgetary item.

It is the role of Council to represent the public and to consider the well-being and interests of the

Municipality. To ensure Council can fulfill this roll and ensure the accountability and transparency of operations

to taxpayers, our taxpayers must be represented. The Municipality of Charlton and Dack rejoined the Englehart

Public Library in good faith assuming that as all three other parties are represented, the largest contracting

municipality would be represented as well. This apparently was not the case and unfortunately has left Council

with no choice but to explore their options for next year if the Municipality of Charlton and Dack continues to

not be represented.

Council would like to see some commitment from the Town of Englehart in working toward getting the

Municipality of Charlton and Dack represented by a voting member on the Englehart Public Library Board.

Yours Truly,

Subject: MPAC Update

On behalf of the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation's (MPAC)Board of Directors, I am pleased to provide you with an update on our activitiesfor the first and second quarters of 2012.

Our efforts continued to focus on serving Ontario property taxpayerstogether with our provincial and municipal stakeholders in the timely delivery ofaccurate assessment products and services. In addition, a significant workactivity for MPAC this year is the province-wide Assessment Update and thedelivery of nearly 5.0 million Property Assessment Notices across the provincethis fall.

Property Assessment Notice mailing begins in September

This year, we will assess nearly 5.0 million properties across Ontario inthe second province-wide assessment update based on a four-year assessmentcycle. As we have in the past, Property Assessment Notices will be mailed toproperty taxpayers from early September to mid-November. We will provideinformation on residential assessment to each municipality in advance of Noticesbeing mailed to property taxpayers in their community.

We also have detailed plans in place to ensure that property taxpayersunderstand their assessment and its role in the property taxes they pay, how toconfirm the accuracy of their assessment and how to appeal if they disagree withit.

MPAC Update of 48

All Heads of CouncilAugust?, 2012Page 2 of 6

Some of the communications and outreach initiatives we have planned tosupport the assessment update include:

• We will roll out an enhanced AboutMyProperty™, a service that allowsproperty taxpayers to go online to compare their assessment to otherproperties to determine whether it is accurate, and to file a Request forReconsideration (RfR). The new AboutMyProperty™ will be moreaccessible and user friendly and we believe that it will be used bysignificantly more property taxpayers than in the past. In particular,non-residential property taxpayers were provided with limitedinformation through the website; however, with the enhanced versionof AboutMyProperty™, business property taxpayers will experience asimilar level of comparable details and online access to information.

• MPAC's website (www.mpac.ca) was redesigned earlier this year tomake it easier for property taxpayers to access information, and as wehave in the past, videos will be posted on the site this fall to explain theassessment process and the role it plays in property taxation. Inaddition, new information will be added to MPAC's website explaininghow properties, specific to the business sector, are valued by MPAC.This additional information is intended to provide greater clarity andaccess to our business processes and procedures and we believe itwill ensure higher stakeholder satisfaction.

• During the update period, we will continue our outreach to propertytaxpayers and offer extended hours at our Customer Contact Centre.The Centre, reached at 1-866-296-MPAC (6722), will be open Monday- Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm from September 4 to November 9.Our representatives will be available to respond to questions andconcerns from property taxpayers. MPAC staff will also be available inour 33 regional offices to talk to property taxpayers in person. Theseand other activities are part of a sustained effort we have made since2005 to reach out to property taxpayers, explain the assessmentprocess and how it works, and to address their questions andconcerns.

Your Municipal Relations Representative will also be available to answerany questions you or your staff have about the update or to make a presentationto council. Meetings are already being scheduled for this fall.

MPAC Update of 48


Review of Requests for Reconsideration (RfR) and Assessment ReviewBoard (ARB) Appeals

MPAC received 14,000 RfRs for 2012, representing approximately 0.3%of Ontario's nearly 5.0 million properties. Over 13,800 (98.5%) of the 14,000have now been completed.

We also continue to work collaboratively with our property taxpayercustomers to resolve their RfR and ARB appeal matters and to answer theirquestions or provide the information they need to better understand their propertyassessment.

As a point of interest, approximately 25,800 appeals, for all property types,were resolved during the first and second quarters of 2012.

As a further note, the ARB's objective is to complete all outstandingappeals i.e., the 2009-2012 assessment cycle and prior, by March 31, 2013.MPAC is supportive of this undertaking and is working collaboratively with theARB to identify opportunities to streamline its processes while balancing ourother operational pressures.

Supplementary and Omitted Assessments for 2012

Last year, we delivered over $28.44 billion in assessment growth to ourmunicipal stakeholders. Our projection for 2012 is approximately $23.5 billion.At the end of the second quarter, MPAC processed just over $10 billion inassessment growth through the continued focus on fieldwork in communitiesacross the province and the successful completion of inspections and propertydata reviews.

In addition, about 80% of all municipal building permits are provided toMPAC in a standardized, electronic format that, in turn, provides MPAC with amore timely notification to collect the data and process the supplementary oromitted assessments. We are continuing to work with municipalities to increasethe compliance rate and, in turn, ensure we receive all building permit informationin a standard format.

We also continue to work with third parties, such as building permit systemvendors, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and the ElectricalSafety Authority (ESA) to assist us in capturing and delivering assessmentgrowth in a more efficient manner.

MPAC to host Elector Registry Summit

I am pleased to report that MPAC will co-host an Elector Registry Summitto discuss the role of MPAC in enumeration and how the enumeration processcan be improved. This initiative will be held in cooperation with the Associationof Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO), and ourelection partners.

The summit will include a focus on ideas initially presented in a DiscussionPaper entitled, "Issues and Options on the Use of a Voters' List for MunicipalElections in Ontario". The paper was distributed to MPAC and other stakeholdersfor comments and suggestions concerning a number of options related to thecreation and use of Voters' Lists for municipal and school board elections.

Representatives from a wide range of organizations will be invited to thesummit including municipalities, school boards, Elections Canada, ElectionsOntario, the Ontario Ministries of Education, Finance and Municipal Affairs, andprivate sector firms that provide election management services.

The results of our post-enumeration survey of municipalities, conducted byMPAC in December, 2011 showed the accuracy of Voters' Lists continues to bea primary concern. The survey also indicated that municipalities had anincreased understanding of both MPAC's and their own responsibilities inpreparing Preliminary Lists of Electors and Voters' Lists and some of the barriersfaced by MPAC in ensuring accuracy.

The summit is intended to address these questions and makerecommendations that could range from proposing changes in legislation,proposing changes in roles and responsibilities to providing guidance on policies,practices and procedures undertaken by MPAC and municipalities. We lookforward to these discussions and will continue to share updates on this matter.

Stakeholder Outreach Activities

MPAC has continued its successful community outreach initiatives to helpraise awareness of assessment-related matters. MPAC held numerous outreachactivities to municipalities across the province including a number of municipalconferences and events. Some highlights include:

To the Mayor and Town Council of Englehart,

We are writing you this letter in regards to the pavement repairs that are needed on 84- 5th Street South

that joins Kap Kig Iwan Provincial Park. When the new water line was installed to our property the

asphalt was damaged to the need of repair. The road that belongs to the Town of Englehart consists of

potholes and uneven ground. We are taxpayers to the Town of Englehart for this property. We are

asking to have these repairs reviewed by the Council of Englehart and are hoping that they will be

included in the budget for next year as we know this year is coming to an end.

Thank-you for your attention to the matter.

ATTENTION: Mayor Nina Wallace

Dear Mayor Wallace:

On behalf of the Thunder Bay and Area Disaster Relief Committee, I am writing to request financial support to the

Disaster Relief Fund to assist those affected by flooding this past spring.

In the early hours of May 28, 2012, more rain dropped in Thunder Bay and area in two hours than normally falls on the

city the entire month of May causing extensive damage and flooding in many areas of the City. Throughout our

neighbourhoods, several homes were flooded with sewage resulting in life-altering destruction. In the aftermath of this

tragedy you could see massive piles of flood-damaged belongings strewn across front yards. Most heart-wrenching

were the stories of overwhelming loss of property, family pictures and a place to call home.

Although several weeks have passed, flood victims are discovering that the suffering caused by this disaster continues to

impact their lives. While much of the cleanup has been completed, there are thousands of affected homeowners and

businesses faced with the task of repairing the damage and restoring some normalcy. It is estimated that $15 to $20

million will be required to help our neighbours who are either without insurance or are under-insured.

As a result of the flood, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing declared the region a "Disaster Area" which

allowed the municipality to access provincial funds through the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP). A

Thunder Bay and Area Disaster Relief Committee has been formed and is spearheading the local fundraising effort. The

Disaster Relief Committee is committed to Restoring Our Neighbours.

This disaster is, without a doubt, a defining moment in our city's history but it's our ability to help our neighbours

overcome this tragedy and create a positive outcome that will also leave a lasting mark.

We are appealing to all municipalities in Ontario for assistance. Your financial contribution will make a huge difference

in assisting victims of the flood in regaining their homes, their businesses and their lives. All donations will be matched

2:1 by the province - $1 becomes $3.

As a community, we need to raise $5 million to help those affected by the flood. Not only is your support appreciated,it's essential to helping us meet this goal. Donations can be mailed to the Disaster Relief Office, 500 Donald St. E.Thunder Bay, ON P7C 5K4.

Sincerely,

Lynn PetersonCo-Chair, Thunder Bay and Area Disaster Relief Committee

From: communicategiamo.on.caSent: Sunday, August 19, 2012 12:30 PMTo: [email protected]: Breaking News: AMO Submits Infrastructure Funding Priorities to Federal Government

TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE CLERK AND COUNCIL

August 19, 2012

The Board of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario has approved a submission toInfrastructure Canada that lays out the needs of Ontario's municipalities in a newfederal Long-Term Infrastructure Plan.

The AMO submission calls for a long-term investment program that would allowmunicipalities to plan capital works and ensure that local priorities are funded. Theseinclude:

• A long term, ideally at least ten-year, program;• Funding allocations by province based on population and economic importance;• Dedicated portion of the funds to be directly for municipal infrastructure reflecting

the fact that municipal governments are owners of the greatest portion ofpublic infrastructure; and

• Eligibility of all local priorities determined by municipal councils through long termmunicipal asset management planning.

In approving the submission, AMO's Board noted the critical importance of municipalinfrastructure as the foundation for economic and social development, environmentalprotection and quality of life and passed a resolution that articulates municipal priorities.This resolution is appended below and local councils are encouraged to support it oruse it as a basis for their own resolutions to the federal and provincial governments.

The submission will be provided to the federal government and posted to the AMOwebsite in the near future.

Resolution - Federal Long-Term Infrastructure Plan

Whereas municipalities in Ontario are responsible for the majority of infrastructure inthe province and that infrastructure is an investment in the economic, social and culturaldevelopment and the environmental protection of our communities; and

Whereas the Government of Canada is developing a new Long Term InfrastructurePlan for federal support for infrastructure in Canada; and

Whereas, despite increased investment in municipal infrastructure by municipal,

provincial and federal orders of government in recent years, Ontario's municipalities still have asignificant infrastructure deficit.

Now, therefore, the Board of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario resolves that:

Any new federal infrastructure support program must be long-term in its scope andhorizon, ideally at least ten years, to help infrastructure investment partners tackle oursignificant infrastructure needs; and

That Ontario, as Canada's most populous province, should be allocated infrastructuresupport under any new federal infrastructure support commensurate with its populationand economic importance; and

That any new federal infrastructure support program must recognize the number andvariety of infrastructure systems owned, managed and operated by municipalities inOntario and the critical supports these provide to local communities and economies byproviding for an exclusive municipal allocation in any new federal infrastructuresupport program; and

That the priorities of local governments in Ontario, as defined by their long-termmunicipal asset management plans, must be recognized and eligible for direct federalsupport under any new federal infrastructure support program; and

That those municipalities that have or will have comprehensive asset managementplans in place at the time the Federal program is in effect should be consideredimmediately eligible for any new infrastructure program funding from the federalgovernment.

Minister of Infrastructure Rolls out Asset Management Funding Program

OGRA President Alan Korell was in attendance in Trenton yesterday when Minister of Infrastructure Bob Chiarelli announced the Province’s new Municipal Infrastructure Strategy. The strategy will require municipalities that request provincial infrastructure funding to show how projects fit within a comprehensive asset management plan. Asset management plans help municipalities make smart planning decisions about building, operating, maintaining, renewing and replacing infrastructure over the long-term. Through the strategy, Ontario is providing $60 million over the next three years to municipalities. Up to $9 million will be used to help municipalities prepare their plans, while the remaining funds will be used to address critical projects identified in those finalized plans. In his address Minister Chiarelli stated, that "the government has made unprecedented investments in infrastructure across the province. We will continue to partner with all municipalities to invest in local infrastructure to support economic growth and enhance quality of life." OGRA President Alan Korell stated that "The federal, provincial and municipal governments need to work together to fund the infrastructure that makes Ontario communities prosperous. The Province's decision to provide funding to small municipalities to prepare asset management plans confirms a commitment to approaching infrastructure needs in partnership, and to investing wisely." “This is exactly the direction that we had hoped the Province would take” said OGRA Executive Director Joe Tiernay. “Municipalities need to do asset management but they also need financial assistance to get the job done.” He also restated OGRA’s commitment to the Municipal DataWorks (MDW) program confirming that access to OGRA municipal members would continue at no cost. Municipalities interested in accessing the funding must submit an “Expression of Interest” by no later than October 22, 2012. Click the following link to be redirected to the on-line form.

Dear Nina Wallace,

Re: Solar & Wind Development Opportunities

Haliburton Solar and Wind ("HSW") is an authorized representative of Rumble Energy Inc. ("Rumble"), Ontario'slargest FIT developer. Rumble has developed hundreds of projects across Ontario and is a highly regarded solarcompany specializing in Feed-ln-Tariff ("FIT") system design, supply, and installation. HSW is a professional projectmanagement firm specializing in solar developments, off grid design and implementation.

There will be significant opportunity for Townships, Municipalities, Cities, and First Nations to benefit financiallyand structurally under the FIT programs if you choose to move forward with renewable forms of energy.

According to the Pembina Institute, renewable energy:

• Has minimal or no negative environmental or social impact;• Does not deplete natural resources;• Meets the needs of people today and in the future in an accessible, equitable and efficient manner;• Protects air, land and water;• Has little or no net carbon or other greenhouse gas emissions;• Is safe today and will not burden future generations with unnecessary risk.

You may be considering building your own renewable generation projects or you may be looking to lease to a

developer with an equity position. There are many options available, each with their own distinct benefits. The

cost to build solar today is 40% less than it was just 3 years ago and the Ontario Government offers generous rates

with 20 year contracts. There has not been a better time for Townships, Municipalities, Cities, and First Nations to

seriously consider their role in the future of Ontario's energy mix and the decentralization of their grid segment.

Please take a moment out to peruse the enclosed information brochure. The combined impact of Haliburton Solar

and Wind and Rumble Energy is considerable. I hope to be able to speak with you directly at your earliest

convenience.

At this point I wouldlike to saiute the members ofthe Town of Englehart PublicWorks Department for comingimmediately to my aid at thatdifficult time. Three membersof that department were work-ing on the street nearby andwhen they noticed that I washaving major problems with mypower chair they immediatelycame to my assistance.

LANDSCAPING

...

Agenda Item # 916.

701 Restoration of 48

In regards to landscaping for 2013, some ideas for keeping up with the landscaping would be to enlist the Horticulture Society or see if this is something summer students (of 2013) could do.

GRAND OPENINGSee if this is something the Town of Englehart could organize. Some ideas proposed were a BBQ at the park, and ribbon cutting. Don Church could possibly do the cutting of the ribbon. We would like to invite the MPP as well. Our date for the grand opening will take place on September 13th, 2012.

PHASE IIWe will continue to fundraise more money. As for a roof, something one sided and angling upwards so that it is not blocking the view of the 701 from the street side.

NEXT MEETINGOur next meeting will take place on September 6th, 2012 at 7PM in the council chambers.

ADJOURNMENTThat we do adjourn. Moved by Gary.

Minutes recorded by Brittany.

701 Restoration of 48

of 1Sue Renaud

From: "Stephen Kramp" <[email protected]>To: <[email protected]>Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 10:26 AMSubject: air quality testingHello Sue,

The air/asbestos will be done using PCM canisters. The lab suggests that a sample be takenfor approx. every 500 sq. ft.. The information I have is the building is approx. 4300 sq.ft. so Ithink 8 samples will be enough. Each sample takes 1 hour so 1 will need access to the buildingfor a complete working day.

The cost for the testing and lab fees is a total of $1480.00. There is no HST charged to thisprice.

If there are any questions or concerns, please call me at ( 705 ) 622-9127.

Thank you,Stephen Kramp

According to Don you want the pricing done in three different phases.

Phase 1: 7ft x 7ft opening in doorway = $1,200

Phase 2: Frame header into wall = $1,500

Phase 3: Remove blocks to create opening and install new header. Electrical included = $6,500

Let me know how you would like to proceed.
