S� COUNCIL — MAY 9, 2006 N T E R CORPORATE SERVICES OFFICE MEMO To: Members of Council From: Bob Panizza, Director of Corporate Services Subject: Proposed New Noise By-law Date: May 4, 2006 At the Council meeting of April 25, 2006, Council recommended that the proposed Noise By-law be deferred in order to provide Corporate Services staff an opportunity to respond to the suggestions presented by Mr. Lombardi, Economic Development Officer. The Corporate Services staff in conjunction with the Town Solicitor has reviewed the comments from Mr. Lombardi and suggests the following: Firstly, the request to reference section 4 in the Schedule B as well as Schedule A has been included as is now shown as part of the proposed Noise By-law. Secondly, staff have considered the issue and have included a new provision (shown as number 11 in Schedule C) to recognize the Certificate of Approval from the Ministry of Environment as an exemption to the by-law. This is applicable to Industrial Zones only. Finally, staff does not support the change in time from 11:00 p.m. to 12 midnight in industrial zones as it would not be consistent with all zones identified in the by-law namely residential and commercial zones. Staff is of the opinion that this may create confusion for the public inquiring about noise limitations. In addition, the 11:00 p.m. curfew is comparable benchmark used by other municipalities within York Region. Bob Panizza Director of Corporate Services —7— COUNCIL - MAY 9, 2006 Panizza, Bob From: Lombardi, Dino Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 2:20 PM To: Panizza, Bob; Alexander, Chris Cc: Rogers, John;'phyllis@phyllismorris.net' Subject: Draft Noise By-law Bob/Chris, Further to our meeting on April 21 st and to your subsequent email re the 3 items we discussed at that meeting, I would ask that you consider amending the draft By-law as proposed: Add a reference to the Schedule B matrix with regard to Section 4 and its relationship (I understand that you are prepared to support this); Add a reference to the By-law implying that a business 'may' be exempt in the event that they are operating legally with an MOE Certificate of Approval for their facility, and: Extending the prohibited time from the currently proposed 11:00 pm to 12:00 am. The 11:00 pm time seems arbitrary and providing an additional hour would extend a businesses' window of opportunity to operate completely All of these items are intended to assist our business community in remaining prosperous and hopefully wanting to expand their operations in Aurora in the future. The Town cannot be seen as loosing its competitive advantage re local businesses through more restrictive municipal legislation such a the Noise By-law. As noted In the draft Economic Sectors Analysis & Competitive Positioning study undertaken for Aurora by urbanMetrics Inc., there is a growing perception within our business community that there are already too many obstacles to run a successful business In the Town. In particular, participants cited the Town's Noise By-law in their interviews. Incorporating the revisions proposed in this email would perhaps appease the business community and illustrate proactively that the Town is sensitive to their health and continued growth, as well as to the possible negative impacts businesses might suffer due to a more prescriptive draft By-law. Your consideration is appreciated. Dino. Dino Lombardi, MCIP, RPP.

This year the Mission is going to London, UK. The mission is made up of elected and non -elected Municipal officials. Deadline for expressions of interest is May 15th and selected participants will be notified by May 19th. I have been asked if I am interested in participating, and as the founding Chair of EAC and current chair of EDAC and as a Standing Committee member of FCM's committees for "International Relations" & "Environmental Issues & Sustainable Issues", & having served as a Member of the Markham Aurora Hydro Task Force and as an appointee to the OPA's Political Review Forum, I see a myriad of tie-ins and benefits to gaining more knowledge which would be useful as Aurora faces the challenges of growth. And therefore - I am carefully considering, using my annual Conferences and Seminars buget of $2,000 to cover the $1,150 registration cost ( which covers accomodation and ground transportation in the UK and some meals) Of note, selected participants have to pay their own airfare. Because of the costs involved I am deciding whether to apply and use my funding, instead of attending FCM's 2006 annual conference in Montreal The Mission itinerary is being developed in close co-operation with the Canadian High Commission in London and the British High Commission in Ottawa, England. Although the final program has not yet been determined the following site visits and presentations are proposed to be in the program: • Energy and environmental policies and strategies at the national and municipal levels (Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, the Greater London Authority, the Climate Change Agency of London, English Partnerships, Peabody Trust) -70- 5/4/2006 COUNCIL - MAY 9, 2006 • State-of-the-art buildings supplied with several sources of renewable energy • Excursions to a number of communities being developed along sustainable principles including the: • Borough of Woking; o Milton Keynes and adjacent community development (Broughton); o BedZed (Beddington Zero Energy Development), o Borough of Southampton (district heating and cooling system based on geothermal energy) • Visit to Edmonton, North London- in -vessel composting and energy -from -waste plant • Visit to the Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) at Frog Island in Havering Provided for Council's and Senior Staffs Information - in the event there are any Municipal Staff or other Elected officials who may also be interested in submitting an Expression of Interest. Councillor Morris 5/4/2006 -7 1 COUNCIL — MAY 9, 2006 The Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Community Energy Planning Mission to the United Kingdom For the past ten years, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has organized Community Energy Planning Missions to progressive European countries that have incorporated community energy planning concepts into their strategies for economic/community development and their national energy supply/demand management policies. These countries have included the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Finland and Sweden. This year's mission will take place from July 30-August 4 2006 in London, England. The prime objective of the mission is to learn from British officials in the public and private sectors how policies, programs and technologies have been used to create more sustainable communities. The mission will provide Canadian municipalities and mission sponsors with a valuable learning experience that demonstrates first-hand, how the concept of community energy planning supports sustainable community development and generates economic and environmental benefits locally and nationally. The theme of this year, s mission will be integrated community energy/sustainable development planning and implementation. Site visits and presentations will emphasize: • energy and environmental policies and strategies; • site planning, building design and energy efficiency; • land use and sustainable urban planning practices; • infrastructure design and efficiency; • renewable energy supply; • district energy systems; and, • sustainable waste management practices The mission, s delegation will consist primarily of elected officials and senior staff from municipalities across the country.

BACKGROUND On May 17th, 2003, the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville Fire Department responded to a house fire in the Vandorf Road, Highway 404 area. The first arriving vehicle was from the Whitchurch-Stouffville station on Highway 48 north of the Aurora Road. The response time to the Vandorf Road and Hwy 404 area was considerable, as was the damage to the structure involved. As a result, the residents of the area have raised serious concerns with Whitchurch-Stouffville Council regarding the fire protection service provided in that area. In years gone by the Aurora Fire Department provided protection in this area, however, that coverage was discontinued when Whitchurch-Stouffville opened their new station in Ballantrae. Meetings have taken place since that time between municipal staff and association representatives of both municipalities; however, the issue was not pursued further until recently. COUNCIL — MAY 9, 2006 Flre Services Report 2006-05 April 5, 2006 Page 3 of 5 COMMENTS The Town of Whitch urch-Stouffville made a deputation to the JCC at the January 12, 2005 meeting requesting Central York Fire Services (CYFS) give consideration to increasing the Central York Coverage area in Whitchurch- Stouffville to include Highway 404 south to the Bloomington Road and east to half way between Warden Avenue and Kennedy Road. The JCC, after hearing the deputation, made the following recommendation; "THAT the deputation of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville be received and that the Fire Chief be requested to bring forward a full report to the next JCC meeting, with a copy to the Town of Whitch urch-StouffviIle, on the implications of this request." The Fire Chief brought forward Fire Services Report 2005-02 as an information report with the following recommendation which was approved by the JCC, "THAT the Fire Chief and CAO be authorized to enter into discussions with Whitchurch-Stouffville to determine the contract area, level of service, and cost recovery for the provision of Fire Services by Central York utilizing the expertise of Newmarket staff and the Fire Fighter Association, as required." The CAO's, Fire Chiefs and representatives of both the CYFS and WSFES Professional Fire Fighters Associations. are in agreement that .the provision of service as described in the recommendations is a workable solution for the provision of service in the Vandorf area. For clarity the area of coverage will be the area from Davis Drive south to Bloomington Road, and from the 404 east to one lot east of Warden Avenue. This area includes the area presently covered by CYFS and the area previously covered by the Aurora Fire Department. The agreement will have a six -year term. This six -year term falls totally within the timeframe mandated in the Central York Fire Services agreement between the Towns of Aurora and Newmarket. In return for the provision of this service Whitchurch-Stouffville will provide the following to CYFS; 1. An annual retainer fee of $100,000.00 plus increments based on the CYFS budget, COUNCIL — MAY 9, 2006 Fire Services Report 2006-05 April 5, 2006 Page 4 of 5 2. Full cost recovery for any activation of the Central York call-back system, including benefits, 3. A per vehicle fee of $350.00 for the first hour and $175.00 per half hour thereafter, adjusted from time to time. in accordance with the agreed formula between the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, 4. Cost recovery for on duty staff at time and one half plus the normal amount assigned to benefits for those calls not requiring activation of CYFS call-back, During discussions the Fire Chief and the Association Executive placed the following priorities on discussions relating to this report; • Protection of the citizens of Aurora and Newmarket, • Health and safety of the Central York Fire Fighters, • Protection of the citizens of the proposed coverage area in Whitchurch- Stouffville. The Chief and the Association agreed to work with WSFES and the Whitchurch- Stouffville Professional Fire Fighters to ensure the proper response criteria is agreed upon and implemented. A copy of the joint letter from the Associations is attached and the Fire Chief thanks the Association Executive for their careful thought and input. The Council of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville at their meeting of April 4, 2006 approved the formulation of the new agreement as per the criteria set out in this report. This clears the way for the next steps to begin in order to commence. operation of the service as described on June 1, 2006. NEXT STEPS If JCC approves proceeding with the new agreement, the following will need to take place; 1. This report will be circulated for endorsement to the Councils of the Towns of Aurora and Newmarket as per the recommendations above, 2. The Deputy Fire Chiefs and the representatives of the 2 Associations will meet to finalize the dispatch and response criteria, and develop the necessary operational guideline, 3. Newmarket legal staff in consultation with staff from Whitchurch-Stouffville and the Fire Chiefs will develop the written agreement, COUNCIL — MAY 9, 2006 Fire Services Report 2006-05 April 5, 2006 Page 5 of 5 4. The final agreement will be presented to Newmarket Committee of the Whole Council May, 2006 for endorsement. 5. The final agreement will be presented to Whitchurch-Stouffville Council in May 2006 for execution, 6. The final agreement will be executed by Newmarket Council in May 2006 on behalf of JCC and CYFS, 7. Service will commence June 1, 2006. BUDGETIMPACT The provision of the current service to Whitchurch-Stouffville provides for a fee of approximately $35,000.00. That fee will increase to approximately $135,000.00, The Fire Chief believes that providing the service as indicated in this report represents true cost recovery to CYFS.

Environmental Advisory Committees of York Region Comments to 'Growing York' and Correspondence from Future York — York Region "Towards a Sustainable Region" Symposium — Update Moved by Klaus Wehrenberg Seconded by Peter Piersol THAT the Environmental Advisory Committees of York Region Comments to 'Growing York' be referred to the May 9, 2006 Council meeting for consideration. CARRIED EAC — MAY 8, 2006 AGENDA IT=05- Environmental Advisory Committees of York Region Comments to `Growing York' DATE: April 10, 2006 FROM: Jan Ravens, KEAC DISTRIBUTION: Bruce Lindsay, NEAC Bruce Craig, King EAC Vince Brewerton, Whitchurch-Stouffville EAC Teresa Klein, Georgina EAC Brent Mersey, Markham EAC Wendy Gaertner, Aurora EAC Sue Walmer, Aurora EAC Hello All, After attending the York Region Growth Management Open House (there is still one to come in Newmarket this coming Wednesday, April 12) and discussing some of the issues with Bruce Lindsay, I would like to ask for your input on how to respond to the above. Bruce and I thought that perhaps all York EACs should team up and respond as a group. Following are same of the issues we talked about. Provincial population projection numbers should be challenged. (There is no known solution to accommodate them at this point). The ecology of the Region should be the guiding principle for any growth strategy. Planning should start with the environment and land bearing capacity and work backwards to establish acceptable growth numbers. All necessary tools are available; Natural Heritage mapping, ("The Bigger Picture" by MNR), ORM, Green Belt, hydrogeological mapping (available from Conservation Authorities Moraine Coalition) Farm land mapping and rating, transportation and employment data ..... etc. The built environment does not support human existence. Balance between the man-made and natural has to be maintained X the target is a SUSTAINABLE region. York Region to show leadership in addressing the issue with the provincial government and advocate on behalf of the current York population. There_ is a wide spread discontent among York residents. The very reason why they moved up here is being defeated by the excessive growth. —24— EAC — MAY 8, 2006 The growth management initiatives described in the 'Planning for Tomorrow' pamphlet are good but fall short of providing a solution for the projected population numbers. Protection of the farm land should be among the ESSENTIAL items with emphasis on soil quality. This relates specifically to the unprotected farm land areas between the Green Belt and development zones to the south. (Please check out my e-mail regarding Development versus food production, April 3, 2006). Employment statistics and projections should be based on non -growth related (sustainable) jobs. Any land planning decisions should be supplemented by regional/municipal policies providing protection and incentives for sustainable way of life. (Pollution By-laws, energy efficiency incentives, tax benefits ....etc). Please add your own to the above. Thank you for your help. We do not know how much time we have to respond, so please try to be prompt and copy everybody when you e-mail back.

I have attached 3 copies of articles written by columnists from the Globe and Mail, Star and Sun ( I haven't seen one from the National Post). These articles all oppose such a move to extend the term. Each article gives excellent reasons to be against this move by the government. Therefore, I would ask council to request staff to send this memo, plus the attachments, with our original motion which opposes this extension. I wish this to be sent to all members of the Provincial Parliament first thing Wednesday morning along with the results of the vote which I asked to be recorded. Thank youG, Councilman John G.

Ford's faux pas, shines a light on extending council term limits Thankyou, CouncillorRob Ford, for popping ------- on the body politic this week, on the very eve of committee hear- ings at Queen's Park into the diffi- cult and easily overlooked ques- tion of the municipal franchise. Usually, discussion about the le- gitimacy of municipal elections and the politicians theyproduce is and and uninvolving, which is why so many supposed reforms end up causing more problems than they solve. Nobodypays attention. Were itnot for Mr. Ford's timely eruption, today s discussion of the latest supposed reform— extend- ing the municipal term of office to four years from three —would be typical. The McGuinty govern- ment decided to do it witho ut tell- ing anybody or discussing the change in public, then inserted it into its budget bill, of all places. After moving to cut off debate on the bill thisweek, it scheduled one day of hearings — to day— on the entire package. "Theyhaven't said one word about thish' fumed lobbyist Guy Giorno, who once helped former premier Mike Harris fashion the notorious omnibus bill that DEd- ton McGuintydenounced 10years ago. But this one is even more dic- tatorial, according to Mr. Giorno. "Their attitude is that they don't to deign to explain Mr. Giomo is helping to organize opposition to the change (see threeyears.ca) and is also planning to address the committee today. But the Ford spectacle —lying about being drunk at a Leafs game and being removed by security — has dramatized the issue like noth- ing else could: Do we reallywant to make it easier for such people to thrive by adopting a measure that will make them less accountable? Fewer elections mean less ac- countability:It's simple arithrne- . tic. It means that the already gross advantage of incumbency in local politics could b ecome insur- mountable. The only reason the government is making the change is to please the incumbents, as rep- resented by the Association of Mu- nicipalities of Ontario. In addition to Mr. Giorno's group, a dozen Toronto council- lors, led by Michael Walker, are de- manding a plebiscite on the ques- tion be put on the ballot for this fall's election. In my view, none of them goes far enough. Staying with the same system will do nothing to address the basic democratic problem here: the fact that fewer than half ofvoters bo ther to exercise their franchise in municipal elections. Chronically low turnouts fatally distort local politics; the problem needs to be addressed directly. Low turnout doesn't mean citi- zens don't care about local politics. It means that only certain citizens care about it. Inside the average turnout of about 40 per cent, there are two sharply divided groups: property owners, almost all of vhomvote; andtenants, almost tune ofwhom do. Hence such =:ouncillors as Rob Ford, an ex - right -wing loon represent- ng Rexdale, one of the most eth- aically diverse neighbourhoods in roronto. .- Add the notorious advantage of Incumbency in local politics, where name recognition rules all because there are no parties to dif- ferentiate candidates, and the re- sult is no model of healthy democ- racy. It is a sick man in need of sur- gery. My scalpel of choice is term limits: Give each politician three consecutive three-year terms and then move them on. If eight years was enough for FDR to make his mark, nine years is more than enough for Mr. Ford and company. The classic argument against term limits is that they already ex- ist, except that they're called elec- tions— and elections are said to be more democratic than inflexible rules. But the problem (see above) is thatwe don thave legitimate elec- tions in local politics. We have a sick system that unrepresentative, opportunistic politicians can ex- ploit to become permanent fix- tures at the public teat. If some genius finds a magic for- mula to boost voter participation in municipal elections to accepta- ble levels — highly unlikely, in my view— it won't matter one whit whether the term is three or four years. In the meantime, we should address theweakness directiywith the harshbut effective medicine of term limits. jbarber@globeandmaii.com ADDED ITEM THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF AURORA By-law Number 4796-06.F BEING A BY-LAW to Set and Levy the Rates of Taxation for the Year 2006 WHEREAS it is necessary for the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Aurora (the "Town") to levy pursuant to the Municipal Act, 2001 S.O. 2001 c. 25 as amended (the "Act"), certain tax rates on the whole of the rateable property according to the last revised assessment- roll for the Town for the purpose of raising the Town's estimated expenditures adopted for the year 2006, and these tax rates are included in the tax rates shown on Schedule "A" to this by-law; AND WHEREAS the property classes have been prescribed by the Minister of Finance under the Assessment Act, R.S.O. 1990 ch.A.31 as amended and Regulations thereto; AND WHEREAS The Regional Municipality of York has approved the tax rates and tax ratios to raise their estimated expenditures adopted for the year 2006, an these tax rates are included in the tax rates shown on Schedule "A" to this by-law; AND WHEREAS pursuantto Ontario Regulation 400/98 as amended by Ontario Regulation 98/06, the Minister of Finance has established the Education Tax Rates for all property classes for the year 2006, and these tax rates are included in the tax rates shown on Schedule "A" to this by-law; AND WHEREAS an Interim Tax Levy was made on the Residential, Multi - Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Pipeline, Farmlands and Managed Forest classes of property, before the adoption of the estimates for 2006 year; NOW THEREFORE THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OF THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF AURORA ENACTS AS FOLLOWS: 1.

West May 9/0b I am not sure what happened to my memo from last Tuesday, as I had left the meeting. I have a further suggestion regarding funding of the first phase. Some years ago we purchased a piece of property approximately 40 by 120 on Industrial Parkway. I was reminded of this when I passed by the property last Monday. This property, if sold today for a small commercial establishment eq. an office, could possibly bring in the required funds needed for the first phase of the arboretum. If Council is interested I would explain in more detail and I also suggest it be referred to staff for a report at next weeks General Committee. Yours Truly, J. West
