CARRIED (b) Councillor Buck Re: Disposition of Buildings Moved by Councillor Buck Seconded by Councillor Abel WHEREAS during 2000/2003 term of Council, a consultant study on the former library building on Victoria Street, determined a lack of viability. The building had been replaced by a new library facility. Parking was insufficiently provided for the new library which included two meeting rooms. Retaining the structure was not recommended; and WHEREAS since that time the Town has built a new Seniors’ Centre. The former senior's facility had served, first as a three bay fire hall; vacated Council Meeting Minutes Tuesday, April 24, 2012 Page 10 of 13 and served as the Town's park facility; vacated and renovated and served several years as a seniors' facility; and WHEREAS decisions related to disposition of these buildings have now been pending in one instance for ten years; in another for seven years; and WHEREAS land occupied by the buildings is far more valuable as a site for a new facility; and WHEREAS a choice of sites currently contemplated by Council for a teen centre do not recommend themselves. NOW THEREFORE BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED THAT Council immediately bring forward the pending decision on the disposition of the buildings. CARRIED XI REGIONAL REPORT York Regional Council Highlights – April 19, 2012 – Mayor’s Report Moved by Councillor Thompson Seconded by Councillor Humfryes THAT the Regional Report be received for information. CARRIED XII NEW BUSINESS/GENERAL INFORMATION Councillor Pirri inquired about the progress of the Town’s new website. The Chief Administrative Officer reported that a meeting was recently held with the interested N6 municipalities and they have agreed to collaborate on the basic cost of a website and the time frames for issuing an RFP. He said the goal is to have a new website up and running by November 2012. Councillor Gaertner referred to previous comments about the Youth Needs Analysis and noted that it was commissioned by the last Council who never saw it and never had an opportunity to endorse it or otherwise. Mayor Dawe said his information indicated that it was endorsed. Councillor Buck inquired about the reason why the Parks trucks could not be green. The Director of Infrastructure and Environmental Services explained that part of the reorganization involved a review of the fleet inventory and the Executive Leadership Team decided that one colour was the more appropriate approach to emphasize one organization providing services to the entire Town rather than a division of services. Councillor Buck advised that she would bring forward a Notice of Motion regarding this issue. Councillor Buck noted that the jazz festival organizers want the Town to pay them for any banners that might be offered by the Town to commemorate the jazz festival. She acknowledged that banners are a great idea and everything possible should be done to create merriment in the Town. Councillor Buck suggested there were other events to celebrate as well, including the history of the Town and Canada, such as the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Mackenzie Rebellion. Council Meeting Minutes Tuesday, April 24, 2012 Page 11 of 13 Councillor Buck inquired about when streaming of Council meetings would be available. The Chief Administrative Officer advised that the predominant issue has been the bandwidth challenges in the Town. He acknowledged that the service could be purchased from an external provider and would be an extra cost on a per meeting basis. Councillor Buck suggested that Council should receive a report regarding the costs and options available. Councillor Buck referenced the Aurora Citizen blog and noted a post from the Aurora Lawn Bowling Club inviting people to book the facility for parties and attend open houses. She said it was her understanding that the Town owns the lawn bowling green and building at McMahon Park and that the Club pays no rent and no longer maintains the facilities. Councillor Buck stated that the Club should not be using a Town facility as a revenue agency and suggested that this matter should be investigated. The Director of Parks and Recreation Services advised that the agreement with the Aurora Lawn Bowling Club contains no clause to prevent or permit these activities and he plans to review this with the Town Solicitor. He added that they are in the process of renewing leases, which will soon be presented to Council, and this issue would be addressed in the new agreement. Councillor Gallo expressed his agreement with Councillor Buck’s comments regarding streaming of Council meetings and that it is very important to apply the necessary funds and get it done. Councillor Gallo inquired about an update on the rail crossing west of Industrial Parkway South at the end of Cousins Drive. He expressed concern regarding the Town’s liability as the fencing, not being long enough, is failing to stop people from crossing the railway and there seems to be no signage prohibiting crossing. The Director of Infrastructure and Environmental Services advised they will notify the rail authorities as it is their responsibility to ensure that pedestrians do not cross illegally. He reported that the design for the crossing is progressing per Council’s direction and they hope to tender the project this fall and proceed with construction in the fall or early 2013. Councillor Ballard expressed concern regarding procedure as he understood that a Councillor who pulls an item is given the opportunity to move the motion, move an amendment, or move a different motion, and he requested an explanation as to why that changed this evening without notice. The Town Clerk explained that the long-standing practice and courtesy has been to allow the Council Member who pulled the item for separate discussion to speak to the item first and, pursuant to Council’s Procedural By-law, a recommendation endorsed by General Committee is brought forward for consideration of Council and that recommendation is to be considered first, which requires that recommendation to be put on the floor, by the person who pulled the item or by any other Member of Council. He said there have been numerous occasions where the Member who pulled the item did not wish to put the motion on the floor, having pulled it only for discussion, and it then falls to someone else to put the recommendation on the floor. The Town Clerk stated that it is most appropriate for Council to first consider recommendations that are being provided from General Committee.
