“WHEREAS the Province has introduced Bill 229, Protect, Support and Recover from COVID 19 Act - Schedule 6 – Conservation Authorities Act; and WHEREAS municipalities believe that the appointment of municipal representatives on CA Boards should be a municipal decision; and the Chair and Vice Chair of the CA Board should be duly elected; and WHEREAS changes to the legislation will create more red tape and costs for the conservation authorities, and their municipal partners, and potentially result in delays in the development approval process; and WHEREAS municipalities require a longer transition time to put in place agreements with conservation authorities for non-mandatory programs; and WHEREAS the municipalities in our three watersheds value and rely on the natural habitats and water resources within our jurisdiction for the economic health and well-being of residents and our communities; and WHEREAS we rely on the watershed expertise provided by local conservation authorities to protect residents, property and local natural resources on a watershed basis by regulating development, undertaking watershed scale studies and planning, and engaging in reviews of applications submitted under the Planning Act. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. THAT the Province of Ontario delay enactment of clauses affecting municipal concerns 2. THAT the Province of Ontario provides a longer transition period up to December 2022 for non-mandatory programs to enable coordination of CA-municipal budget
