interest with respect to Item 14 - Award Of Tender 071-T-07 Supply And Delivery

1. MARKHAM
RODEO (3.5)
Ms. L.
White, Animal Alliance, Ms. J. Woodyer, Markham
resident and a former Ontario SPCA Animal Cruelty Investigator, and Ms. T. Daniels, Markham
resident, were in attendance to support a recommendation put forward by
Councillor E. Shapero and Councillor V. Burke to prohibit inhumane rodeo
activities and practices regarding the treatment of animals. The proposed
recommendation also directs staff to report back in the Fall with information
and recommendations on appropriate By-law amendments. The deputants expressed
concern over the treatment of animals during rodeo events. They spoke of certain practices that are
employed to provoke aggressive behavior from the animals. Ms. J. Woodyer
advised of a legislative void in which several other municipalities had passed
By-Laws banning rodeos and inhumane animal practices.
The
Committee agreed that a future By-Law on the matter should not only restrict inhumane
practices
at rodeos, but also at all animal related events held within the municipality.
Moved by Councillor Valerie
Burke
Seconded by Councillor Erin Shapero
Whereas over the past two years, a rodeo event has been
held in the Town of Markham;
And Whereas many activities/practices held in conjunction
with a rodeo or similar events are performed for the enjoyment
of the viewing public and cause no harm to the animals or performers involved;
And Whereas certain rodeo activities and practices are
inhumane, in particular, calf and steer-roping, steer wrestling, chuck wagon racing,
bucking events, wild cow milking, any farm animal chases, and sheep and goat
rides, and the use of bucking straps, spurs and electric prods and any other such
devices;
And Whereas other municipalities, such as Vancouver, have
amended or passed By-laws prohibiting inhumane rodeo activities and practices;
Now Therefore, be it resolved that Council approve, in
principle, the prohibition of inhumane rodeo activities and practices and
direct staff to report back in the fall with information and recommendations on
appropriate By-law amendments;
And Further that staff include, in their review and
consultation, representatives from the O.S.P.C.A., Markham Fairgrounds, Animal
Alliance, any other interested animal protection
organization and the sponsors of the local rodeo/stampede events.
CARRIED
Communication
Mr. R. Thiessen, Markham Waxers, was in attendance
to advise Members that the renovations at the Markham Centennial Community
Centre were having a negative economic impact on the Markham Waxer Hockey Club
Organization. It was noted that due to the reduced number of seats available
attendance has dropped more than fifty per cent (50%) since last season and
usage of the facility by the hockey club had been greatly compromised.
The Committee posed several questions to Mr.
Thiessen regarding recent attendance at their games and requested further
information on the physical constraints imposed by the renovations.
Moved by Regional Councillor J. Heath
Seconded by Deputy Mayor J. Jones
That the email dated August 22, 2007 from Mr. J.
Cornacchia, Markham Waxers, to the Town of Markham regarding the ongoing
renovations at the Markham Centennial Community Centre and the deputation by
Mr. R. Thiessen on the same be received
and referred to staff for a report back in two weeks.
CARRIED
3. FIREWORKS BY-LAW AMENDMENTS (2.3)
Ms S. Greiner, All Star Fireworks, was in
attendance to petition against the licensing of mobile vendors selling
fireworks in Markham. She suggested that the staff report and proposed By-Law
amendments would make it easier for street vendors selling fireworks to do
business within the Town of Markham.
Mr. D. Porter,
Port Fire Pyrotechnics and Special Effects, was in attendance to discuss
particulars about his business as a mobile vendor selling fireworks. Mr. Porter
advised of the many Federal regulations in place noting that he had always been
in compliance with them and the licensing obligations, financial and otherwise,
imposed by the Town of Markham. Mr. Porter also noted that several other
municipalities were in the process of amending their By-Laws and many,
including the City of Toronto, were permitting the year round sales of
fireworks.
The Committee expressed concerns and
requested clarification on By-Law amendments regarding the process by which
vendors must dispose of unsold fireworks. Members also discussed the
application process in place for not-for-profit organizations to receive a
permit for the temporary sale of fireworks. Staff advised that there was no fee
charged to these groups but that all other requirements of the By-Law were to
be met including the provision of third party insurance.
There was a discussion regarding the
proposed training program that would require all permit holders to attend or
have someone attend a fireworks training and information seminar. Staff
confirmed that an individual who received the training would be required to be
on site at all times. The Committee also noted concerns with respect to vendors
from outside the municipality who decide to do business in Markham. Staff
advised that they did not recommend the prohibition of vendors since the Legal
Department opinion is that a municipality cannot restrict vendors from
operating for competitive reasons. Members also expressed concerns regarding
the recommendation to reduce the distance separation requirements for a mobile
vendor from any road, occupied parking space and/or occupied building. There
was discussion on the safety of mobile fireworks vendors and the Committee
suggested that staff review the feasibility of including a further amendment to
require that a fire extinguisher and/or sprinkler system is installed. Staff
confirmed that there were strict Federal regulations in place requiring safety
measures to be taken by all mobile vendors. Staff also noted that the Markham
Fire Department carries out an inspection as a component of the permit
application process. The Committee suggested that staff review the potential to
include a provision within the By-Law that would permit Markham By-Law Officers
to enforce Federal requirements. Members also suggested that staff review the
City of Toronto’s By-Law.
Moved by Mayor F. Scarpitti
Seconded by Councillor G. Landon
That consideration of amendments
to By-Law No. 2001-137, “Being a By-Law Respecting the
Regulating, Licensing, Sale and Discharge of Fireworks” be deferred for one
month to allow staff the time to review federal regulations on mobile vendors
selling fireworks, to establish further safety requirements if necessary and to
review the City of Toronto’s By-Law and report back.
CARRIED
4. PESTICDE
BY-LAW (5.7)
Mr. J. Bowan, Hydro One, was in attendance
to request an amendment to the Town of Markham By-Law Regulating the
Non-Essential Use of Pesticides to include a provision to permit Hydro One’s
application of herbicides on right-of-way areas and within hydro generating
stations when deemed necessary. He indicated that herbicides would be applied
in accordance to a stringent vegetation control management program in which all
alternative options would be exhausted prior to their use. Mr. Bowan advised
that normally herbicides are only sprayed once ever six (6) years and always by
licensed professionals. He indicated that if Hydro One did not have recourse to
control vegetation growth in these areas, it could result in an impact on
service delivery.
The Committee requested that Hydro One
submit data to staff with respect to the location and quantity of pesticide and
herbicide usage over the past year. Members also requested clarification
regarding the amendments in place in the City of Toronto and the City of
Guelph.
Moved by Regional Councillor J. Heath
Seconded by Councillor E. Shapero
That the request to amend the Town of
Markham By-Law Regulating the Non-Essential Use of Pesticides to include a
provision to permit the Hydro One’s application of herbicides in hydro
corridors and generating stations be received and referred to staff to report
back in October

DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL (6.4)

are interested in leasing a portion of their six rugby fields for the next
season. He also indicated that staff is planning to meet with the Unionville
Soccer Club, York Region District School Board, York Region Catholic School
Board and other parties to discuss several other potential options to

The Committee posed various questions relating in an attempt to further

a natural field. Mr. Seabrooke, indicated that the cost of installing
artificial turf on the East field would be greatly increased due to
complications with the sub-grade and soil of the area. It was also noted that,

may be compromised if artificial turf were to be installed.
Mr. Seabrooke advised
