Mayor Jones invited Councillor Griffith, Chair of the Business Development Committee,
and the Chief Administrative Officer to outline the Program. Councillor Griffith pointed
out that this initiative of the Business Development Committee sought to designate certain
key business persons who might promote the Town, based on the theory that it takes
business to sell business in Aurora.

Aurora among their business contacts in the course of their daily business activities.
Once this key contact role had been accomplished, staff could nurture the contact made.
The Chief Administrative Officer provided members of Council with an overview of the
tool kit the Ambassadors would use to promote the Town and noted the intention to

DELEGATIONS
Cathy Jaynes. York Region. Public Health Department re:
Regional Smoke-Free By-law
Page 3
Ms Jaynes cited studies establishing that second hand smoke represents a health hazard.
She noted that the United States experience with smoke-free environments indicates that
there is minimal economic impact on the businesses affected. She stated that smoking
was not a human rights issue, since there was no right to harm another's health. She is
embarking upon a process of consultation with local municipalities in order to det~rmine
which aspects of a proposed Regional No-Smoking By-law they would support. She
suggested that all enclosed public places and all work places be smoke-free. A designated
smoking area, that was separately enclosed and mechanically ventilated, would be
permitted, provided employees did not need to enter that area in order to work. There
would be a proposed economic exemption clause in limited circumstances where
businesses could establish that the by-law caused them _economic loss. It was her
intention to complete this review process by the end of summer, hold meetings with
business representatives and solicit public input. Then a draft No Smoking By-law could
be presented to the Region by February, 1997.
#372. Moved by. Councillor Morris Seconded by Councillor Weller
THAT the matter be referred to Staff for consideration and dialogue with
representatives from the Regional Municipality of York,
·CARRIED
Region of York Long Term Water Strategy Task Force re:
Long Term Water Supply Project for York Region
Mayor Cousens of Markham introduced his co-delegates, including Mr. Wells, the Chief
Administrative Officer for the Region of York, Mr. Bowell, the consultant and Mr.
Southworth, a representative of the private partner proposed to provide water service.
He noted that the Region had undergone dramatic population growth, with its water needs
increasing to the current level of 51 million gallons per day. At present, 75% of that
water is obtained from Metro Toronto, which has resulted in significant costs and the
potential for constraints on future development in certain Regional municipalities. Even
those local municipalities currently serviced by wells will find that their water sources are
inadequate for their long term needs. Therefore a 1993 study recommended a private
partner to provide long term water service. In March, 1996 the Region determined to
enter into a partnership with Consumers Utilities. He detailed the history of that company
and its experience in provision of water services.
Mr. Wells reviewed the structure of the proposed partnership, emphasizing how the
Region would control the decisions made.
Mr. Southworth detailed the workplan, which includes confirming the scope of the
Region's water needs., identifying alternate solutions, gathering data on those solutions
and evaluating alternate proposals. On July 11, 1996 a meeting would be held to
present Regional Council with alternatives. On September 26, 1996 a Progress Report
would be provided. On October 24, 1996 there would be a presentation on the evaluation
of the alternatives and in December, 1996 Regional Council would be asked to approve
one of the proposed water provision alternatives.

of the activities and services the Society provides for the Town. She indicated support
for the recommendation in Report No. ADM96-003-165 which will enable the Society to
concentrate on efforts to ensure that the Hillary House remains in the public domain.
Accordingly, she asked for Council's support for the Society.

CARRIED
Garry Kvist. Resident re: Request to Resurface Old
Bloomington Road
Mr. Kvist drew Council's attention to a petition from residents on the street. He noted
that poor condition of this gravel road results in dust, mud, pot holes, gravel and snow
build-up across driveways and flooding in certain low lying areas. He commended the
Works Department for its cooperation in response to complaints; however, as taxpayers,
the residents using the road feel that they are entitled to a better road. In response to
questions from Members of Council, he noted that their mill rate was the same as the rest
of the Town. Hence, he questioned why they should have to pay an additional local
improvement rate for potential reconstruction of the road.
