The John M. Parrott Centre Long-Term Care Accountability Planning Submission (LAPS)

Background
The John M. Parrott Centre is a fully accredited, 168 bed, long term care facility, owned and operated by the County of Lennox and Addington.  In April 2007, the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) assumed full responsibility for planning, funding and integrating health services.  The South East LHIN first began this process by negotiating service accountability agreements with health service providers funded by the LHIN including hospitals, community support services, and community health centers.  It is time for The John M. Parrott Centre to negotiate and sign their next 3-Year Accountability Agreement with the SE LHIN.  The L-SAA will replace the current service agreement and will cover a three year term of April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2016.

On May 23, 2012, the Council of the County of Lennox & Addington passed By-laws 3213/12 and 3214/12, to declare a small County-owned property and an unmaintained County Road allowance as surplus to the County’s needs.

To Residents and Property Owners Regarding Noxious Weeds

The purpose of the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, is to reduce the impact of noxious weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture. Primarily this act applies to agricultural and horticultural lands that generate income or other benefits to agriculture; this excludes lawns, gardens and private areas for personal enjoyment and leisure.  Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5 Sections 3, 13, 16, and 18, you are requested to destroy all noxious weeds on your property. 

Failure to comply with the Weed Control Act may result in the municipality entering lands to have the weeds destroyed and costs may be recovered through tax billings as provided for in the Act.

Broadband is coming to Eastern Ontario with the help of the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus Inc. and the financial support of the federal and provincial governments along with the private sector.

The Eastern Ontario Regional Network’s (EORN) goal is to bring higher speeds and bandwidth to at least 95% of homes and businesses in Eastern Ontario, a majority of which will gain internet speeds of up to 10 Mbps.

CONSTRUCTION OR PAVING OF
DRIVEWAYS on COUNTY ROADS

The public is reminded that any construction, paving or other alteration to driveways that is proposed for that portion of the driveway that is within the limits of any County Road road allowance is subject to By-law No. 2572/95, as amended, "A By-law to Regulate the Location, Construction and Use of Entrances Onto County Roads".

The by-law requires that a permit be issued by the County to authorize the proposed works within the road allowance.  It is important that the County be contacted if driveway works are proposed so that the potential impact of the County's annual capital and maintenance program activities such as ditching, resurfacing and reconstruction on various County Roads can be considered.
