4. General Committee Meeting Report No. 06-12 (pg. 65)
Tuesday, June 20, 2006
(1) ADM06-005 — Amendments to the Town of Aurora By-law 4280-01.0
(as amended), being a By-law to govern the procedure
of the Council of the Town of Aurora and its Committees
and Boards
(deferred from June 27, 2006 Council - extracted
from General Committee Report No. 06-12)
General Committee Recommends:
THAT Council endorse the following recommendations made by General
Committee on the proposed amendments to the Procedural By-law:
1. Adjournment of Meetings
That Section 3.2 and Section 13.2 set out under Order of Business that In -
Camera (closed) sessions be held prior to the adjournment of the meeting.
The practice has developed that if nothing is to be reported out of the In -
Camera session then the meeting is adjourned and the In -Camera
meeting is then held. This practice means that the In -Camera session has
no formal status or record of decisions. It is therefore suggested that the
Order of Business be rigorously followed and that the meeting not adjourn
until after the In -Camera session is completed (whether or not anything is
to be reported out of the In -Camera session).
CARRIED
2. Procedural Orientation
That at the beginning of each term of Council the Town sponsor a formal
seminar for all Councillors and members of the public who may be
members of Council appointed Committees, on the general rules of
meeting procedures and practices to emphasize the value of a
knowledgeable chair in the conduct of meetings in a fair and consistent
manner. Two orientation meetings should be convened, one for
Members of Council and a second for members of committees.
CARRIED as amended
3. Formal Procedures
That it be recommended that all references to meeting procedures within
the By-law as "informal' be removed from the text of the By-law as all
aspects of the procedures to be followed by the Council or any of its
Committees in the governance of its meetings must be formal.
CARRIED
Council Meeting No. 06-22
Tuesday, July 11, 2006
Page 8 of 26
4. Governance
Separate and apart from the recommendations of this report, the Town of
Aurora should seriously consider undertaking a comprehensive
governance study of its Council/Committee structure in 2007, to ensure
that the structure being used is the very best that can be developed to
serve both the short and long term needs of a growing contemporary
municipality and the residents and businesses it serves.
CARRIED as amended
5. Attendance of Staff
A general issue that arose during the review of the By-law was the
mandatory attendance of senior staff (other than the Chief Administrative
Officer and the Clerk) at Council meetings where they have no items on
the agenda to address and where they are not aware of any other
requirements for their presence. This matter is not an issue for the
Procedural By-law but rather a matter of administrative procedure and
practice based predominately on individual meeting requirements. When
deemed appropriate to the circumstances, the Chief Administrative Officer
in consultation with Council, could arrive at some alternative procedures
whereby Members of Council could obtain any information and advice in
advance of each Council Meeting thus eliminating the necessity for some
senior staff members to attend all evening meetings. Please note that the
above suggestion does not cover General r...,,.,,•++oo Council Meetings
as senior staff members should be in attendance at all General Comm tz
Council Meetings or at least be available to attend the meeting on a
moments notice. That this practice be implemented on a trial basis for
the balance of the year.
CARRIED as amended
6. Time of General Committee Meetings
It is recommended that General Committee meetings should, after December 1,
2006, commence at 2:00 p.m. in order to allow Staff to be available to assist in
the deliberations of Committee. The General Committee meetings are meant to
be an opportunity for Members of Council to spend time in discussing the items
on the Agenda and depending on the topic there are times when staff members
other than Senior Staff could assist in the deliberations. If the meetings were to
start in the afternoon it would be easier to call the staff member into the meeting
if necessary. The afternoon time would also allow those residents who are not
able to attend evening meetings the opportunity to attend at least the General
Committee meetings.
Council Meeting No. 06-22
Tuesday, July 11, 2006
Page 9 of 26
Further, there are recommendations in this report that would see Advisory
Committee Minutes coming to General Committee before going to Council and
the expectation is that the General Committee meetings could become lengthier
and the earlier start time would ensure that the discussions would not take place
too late into the night. Council would also have the option to defer a particular
matter to a Council meeting or special meeting if there was a concern that the
matter needed to be heard at an evening time. If Council is not comfortable with
the 2:00 p.m. time it is suggested that the start time be 4:30 p.m.
DEFEATED
7. Calling of Meetings
That it is recommended that clause 2.8 be amended to mirror specifically the
wording and provisions of section 239 (1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 with respect
to the wording of the stated exemptions to Open Meetings of Council.
W-TUTER
8. Order of Business
(a) The terminology entitled "In -Camera" in the order of business should be
amended to read "Closed Session"
-N 1
(b) The terminology entitled "Other Business — Councillors" in the order of
business should be amended to read "New Business/General Information —
Councillors aPA- Ch'efo „ . " rut ve Officer".
CARRIED as amended
A new provision should be added to the By-law stating that any new
business and general information considerations that result in a direction to
staff requires a Notice of Motion by a Member of Council. A resolution
shall then be presented at the next Council or Committee to give such
direction effect.
CARRIED as amended
Council Meeting No. 06-22
Tuesday, July 11, 2006
Page 10 of 26
The New Business/General Information — Councillors section shall be
moved near the beginning of the agenda.
CARRIED
(c) Open Forum should become a part of the formal order of business of
Council in that the provision would read "Any ratepayer of the Town of
Aurora is entitled to make a deputation to Council on matters that are not on
the Agenda of Council provided the maximum time allotted is five minutes
for each delegate and the total time of all delegates for this portion of the
Agenda be restricted to twenty minutes.
CARRIED
9, Deputy Mayor —Acting Head of Council
That this section remain intact as written, until the conclusion of the
existing term of Council; and that effective with the term of Council
commencing December 1, 2006, the clause be amended to mirror section
242 of the Municipal Act, 2001 respecting the appointment of a member of
Council "to act in the place of the Head of Council when the Head of
Council is absent or refuses to act or the office is vacant and while so
acting such member has all the powers and duties of the Head of
Council". Council may wish to consider the option of rather than having the
Councillor with the highest number of votes being the Acting Head of
Council that there be a regular (monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly etc.)
rotation of the role of Acting Head of Council, similar to the way the
General Committee meetings are chaired.
DEFEATED
10. Rules of Order
That Section 4.8 be amended by deleting reference to Robert's Rules of
Order and be replaced with Bourinot's Rules of Order. The new wording of
section 4.8 would read "Rules of Order for 4.8 - The provisions of this By-law
shall govern the proceeding of the Council/Committee(s) and except as
provided herein, the rules of Parliamentary Procedure as contained in
Bourinot's Rules of Order shall be followed.

the suspension of the procedural by-law shall not apply to any item
for reconsideration.
CARRIED as amended
In response to the aforementioned direction, staff have reviewed the
provisions of sections 4.6 and 5.13 and suggest the following be
implemented as the new section 4.6:
4.6 Suspension of Rules
a) The provisions of this by-law shall be observed in all proceedings of
Council and its Committees, except that the rules and regulations
contained herein may be suspended by a two-thirds majority vote of
the Members present.
b) A motion to suspend the rules of procedure shall not be debatable or
amendable.
c) A motion to suspend the rules of procedure shall not applicable to

offensive words or actions.
DEFEATED
23. Electronic Distribution of Material
That in this age of electronic technology it would make sense to allow

CARRIED
24. Electronic Recording of Meetings
That Clause 43.1 be amended to say electronic recordings of meetings
rather than just audio as the Council Chambers is now equipped with DVD

W ENT: e
25. Agenda Preparation
That Clauses 18.3 and 27.3 deal, in part, with the preparation of Agendas
for the meeting of Ad Hoc Committees and Advisory Committees. These
clauses should be amended so that the Agendas are prepared by staff
and reviewed and approved by the Chair being a more accurate
reflection of what does normally happen.

April 21, 2006
Mr. Bob Panizza
Director of Community Services
Town of Aurora
Dear Mr. Panizza,
On behalf of The York Centre for Children, Youth & Families, I am requesting the opportunity to come
on deputation to the June 20, 2006 meeting of the General Committee.
The York Centre is a children's mental health centre which annually provides a range of therapeutic
and intervention services for approximately 1,500 children, youth and their families who are
experiencing social, emotional, behavioural or mental health problems. Day Treatment is the main
focus of The York Centre's services. This intensive support benefits children and youth whose complex
mental health needs cannot be addressed within the school system. They receive therapeutic treatment
and individualized academic programming during their stay at The York Centre and are reintegrated
into the school system about a year later. Day treatment for children and youth from across York
Region is provided at two programme sites in Richmond Hill. "These facilities are below the quality of
those found in most Children's Mental Health Centres and create unnecessarily difficult conditions for
staff and clients." The foregoing is an observation made by an accreditation team in June 2003.
To provide more appropriate facilities, the Board of Directors for The York Centre developed the
Expansion/Consolidation Plan. The cost of this project is $3.5 million. The Council for the Town of
Richmond Hill very generously approved a $1 million capital grant for this project. We believe that, by
this grant, the Richmond Hill Council has demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility for helping to
build healthy communities. We are now appealing to the other 8 municipalities to show their support for
children's mental health services in York Region by collectively donating $500,000 to this important
community endeavour over a three year period. This amount would match the $500,000 which The
York Centre Family has pledged, and together then we would match Richmond Hill's $1 million grant.
We look forward to the opportunity to meet with members of the General Committee to provide
additional information about The York Centre and the importance of Municipal support for this high
priority project. Our delegation includes: Dr. Helena Jaczek - Member of The York Centre's Capital
Campaign Cabinet, Mr. Paul Meadows - Executive Director of The York Centre, Mrs. Noreen Lee -
Chairperson, Board of Directors. If you require additional information, please contact me at 905-851-

Executive Summary of The York Centre's Case Statement
5/1/2006 D - 2
COUNCIL - JULY 11, 2006
Building ...for Children's Mental Health
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF CASE STATEMENT
The York Centre is a community -based children's mental health agency. On an annual basis, The
York Centre provides a range of treatment and intervention services for approximately 1500 children,
youth and their families who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioural or mental health
problems. Day treatment is the main focus of The York Centre's services. This intensive support
benefits children and youth whose complex mental health needs cannot be addressed within the
school system. The York Centre provides outstanding support services,which help troubled children
and youth to succeed and realize their full potential as healthy, productive young adults. In addition to
enhancing the quality of life for young people and their families, timely access to support services
reduces the need for more intensive and costly long-term services such as child protection, youth
justice and psychiatric care.
The York Centre is incorporated as a charitable agency and is governed by a volunteer Board of
Directors. The Ministry of Children and Youth Services is the main source of funding. The York
Centre has a well-earned reputation for strong financial management; audited statements show a
history of balanced budgets.
The York Centre has 3 programme sites in Richmond Hill, which serve children, youth and their
families from across York Region. At each site overcrowding is a serious concern, as is lack of space
for individualized counselling, case conferences and meetings. In 2003, accreditors from Children's
Mental Health -Ontario described the inadequacies of The York Centre facilities with the following
observation, "The facilities are below the quality of those found in most Children's Mental Health
Centres and create unnecessarily difficult conditions for staff and clients." Clearly, the need for a more
appropriate facility in which to provide children and youth with essential services is paramount.
Another major challenge is the lack of services to meet the present and expanding demand for
children's mental health services. Currently in York Region, the capacity exists to serve only 13% of
children and youth who are experiencing mental health problems.
In response to the need for more appropriate facilities and for the potential increase service capacity,
the Board of Directors for The York Centre has developed the Expansion/Consolidation Plan. The
cost of this project is $3.5 million; this includes construction of the new building and renovations to the
existing facility. The Council for the Town of Richmond Hill very generously approved a $1 million
capital grant from the Community Enhancement and Economic Vitality Reserve Fund for this project.
The York Centre family has pledged $500,000 to this project. The York Centre has received a
generous grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to help build its fund raising capacity so that it
can amalgamate 3 programme sites into one central location. The Central East Region of the Ministry
of Children and Youth Services has offered some assistance with carrying costs for a mortgage.

COUNCIL - JULY 11, 2006
The York Centre is now turning to the Community to help us raise the $2 million required for
successful completion of this important Community Project. With your support, this Agency has the
potential, determination and commitment to achieve this goal.
The York Centre reassures donors that their gift will have a very important and lasting impact on
communities in York Region. Your contribution to The York Centre Capital Campaign will help to
realize our Vision:
We will be a leader in providing timely and individualized mental health services
to best meet the needs of children, youth and families in York Region.

Abbreviated Executive Summary
Mission:
The ZWES mission is to become a leading supplier of engineered fuels, conversion systems and encapsulation
technology to energy users, including households, businesses, industry and government, and in the process
creating the world's most cost-effective, repeatable and sustainable zero waste renewable energy model.
The Energy from Biomass Opportunity.
"Energy from biomass" is the renewable energy sector that has been the slowest to develop in North America,
compared with wind, hydro, solar and even geothermal. The principal reason for this is the expense and
logistical difficulty inherent in sourcing, processing and transporting biomass. Close behind is the municipal
aversion to incinerating organic materials on a large scale, and local supplies of "clean" biomass are scarce in
populated areas that need the energy most urgently. Zero Waste Energy Systems ("ZWES'� has developed a
two -pronged strategy that will bring critical mass to the sector, and place it firmly in.the lead.
1. Manufacture high quality fuel for gasification into power and thermal energy from many abundant
waste streams including municipal solid waste (garbage), generating two revenue streams initially in
the urban and suburban areas of Southern Ontario and subsequently inother major cities; and
2. Produce valuable biogas, power and thermal energy from food wastes `inside the gate" using a
proprietary modular anaerobic digestion technology.
The Ontario Standing Offer Initiative:
ZWES has an excellent opportunity to leverage this profitable strategy to consolidate the biomass energy sector
in Canada, beginning in Ontario, where the Provincial Government has recently offered 20-year contracts for
energy produced from biomass at 11 cents per kilowatt how (kWh). By contrast, power from solar energy
technology will be purchased for 42 cents per kWh. Waste heat supplied to major energy users via gasification
will be used to generate even greater profits for ZWES and its partners. ZWES intends to manufacture and
supply both the equipment that produces energy, and the fuels that will feed the equipment under long-term
contracts. These fuels, consisting of high Btu waste materials, will be manufactured under exacting, controlled
specifications.
Turning Brownfields Green — the Cherokee Connection
ZWES works with Cherokee Canada Inc., the Canadian Division of Cherokee Investment Partners, the largest
brownfield remediation and development company in North America. Cherokee will acquire closed and semi -
closed landfills; indemnify the current owners against future liability, and joint venture with ZWES in the
creation of cogeneration facilities.
Engineered Fuels from Multiple Waste/Revenue Streams.
Waste streams acquired would include regular municipal waste, construction/ demolition wood, nonchlonnated
plastics, railroad ties, waxed cardboard, roof shingles, biosolids, agricultural residues including manure, paper
mill waste, and food waste. The materials will be ground, blended and briquetted into fuel of different sizes and
content. They will then be tested in the small gasifier for emissions and fuel performance, and those that qualify
on both counts will be tested on the larger gasifier for commercial sale/use in plants. Emissions from high
potential engineered fuels will be controlled by the development of specialized scrubbing systems following
development of a range of specification grade fuels, under exacting standards, multiple power plants (up to 15
ten megawatt facilities) will then be financed, built and owned, with the technology and the -fuels supplied by
ZWES
The "Zero Waste" Component.
ZWES will also supply encapsulation technology to enable the conversion of the residual ash into non -leachable
building materials such as paving stones and wall panels, earning a "zero waste" designation. Products such as
paving stones, pothole fillers, highway medians and sound barriers will be sold back to the waste producers.

Engineered Fuels
An engineered fuel is
derived from organic
matter. This blended fuel
includes wood, agricultural
waste and other living -cell
material that can be burned
to produce heat energy.
Other non traditional
materials can also be
added to increase or
decrease the BTU content,
that would otherwise go to
land fill.
11
Shredding Technology
• This proprietary equipment
is used to reduce the in-
coming material to a
odorless, moisture- reduced
mulch suitable for
gasification.
• Non traditional materials are
reduced to a specified size
suitable for blending in an
engineered fuel.

Gasifiers
• A gasifier is essentially a
chemical reactor where
various complex physical
and chemical processes
take place. Biomass gets
dried, heated, pyrolized,
partially oxidized and
reduced in this reactor as it
flows through it.
• The exit waste is ash which
can be recycled.
Encapsulation Technology
• By using a proprietary
binder material, .products
normally sent to land fills,
may be converted into
unique building material
products.
• Past testing shows zero
leaching from
encapsulated materials.

WaldenGreen
"Canada's First Sustainable Community"
Abbreviated Executive Summary
Walden Green, being developed by Walden Green Inc., is Canada's first environmentally sustainable residential
community. Located on approximately 200 acres in the Town of Aurora, Walden Green will consist of 400 midlevel
homes priced in the range of $210 per square foot, and varying in size from 1,000 to 3,000 square feet. All the houses
will be constructed from innovative energy efficient technologies and materials. The builder selected for this project
will have had past experience with energy efficient homes and will contribute their LEED'GOLD/ PLATINUM status.
The area includes the Waste Management Inc. landfill site. This requires Walden Green to partner with Cherokee
Capital Canada who are specialists in Brownfield site remediation. With remediation, more area is available for
construction and green space for the community. The community's heating and cooling needs could also be supplied
by "waste" heat from an onsite Waste to Energy Power Generation Plant. This is currently on site, and today is
generating 800 kW from landfill gas. Power will be sold to the grid under Ontario's recently announced Renewable
Energy Standard Offer Contract. Residents of the community will have the option to own shares in the generation
plant, which will be incorporated as a separate entity under Walden Green Power Ltd.
Key Components of Walden Green's Infrastructure:
• Leading edge human waste disposal systems that will require no municipal infrastructure.
• A state of the art rainwater collection system that can serve the needs of toilets in the homes. This reduces the
demand for Township water.
• Solar panels for both water heating and to generate electricity for some of the homes' requirements.
• Radiant floor heating..
• Steel studding for walls and roofs, all from recycled steel.
• Concrete foundations and walls integrated with insulation, again using recycled center bracing materials.
• In-house sprinkler systems for fire prevention.
• Street layouts that integrate with the topography of the land and no clear cutting of trees.
• Homes designed for the aging population, with features such as in-house elevators, wheelchair accessible
doorways, and main floor master bedrooms and bath rooms where required.
Other areas to be considered in the development are:
• A Community Centre that will house recreation and health facilities.
• Local schooling opportunities with an ecological focus.
• A transportation system that will encourage the use of electric/fuel cell vehicles that can shuttle residents to
nearby Public Transit stations.
• A new greenhouse, powered by the community's renewable energy sources, which will produce off season
fruits and vegetables.
• Recycled construction wastes can be used by ZWES' casting plant and can manufacture components such as
counter tops (incorporating Blue Box glass) and other cast products for residential and commercial use,
including paving stones for paths and driveways.
In summary, Walden Green will live in harmony with the Oak Ridges Moraine and contribute to the environmental,
economic, and social well being of the surrounding communities.
