awards because it is the oldest school.
As well as achieving excellence, students who are informed of the various
awards at the beginning of their high school experience must make
application for the awards in their last year in school. A committee of
faculty members makes the decisions as to the recipients to be
recognized.
The Town of Aurora has made awards to the young man and woman who
have achieved academic excellence in each of the high schools.
Council Meeting No. 06-03
Tuesday, January 31, 2006

There are several awards for academic excellence. There is no award to
recognize excellent and meaningful participation in school governance at
the student level.
In consideration of the need to encourage and recognize students who
have had wholehearted involvement in their school community as well as
achieving academic excellence... and of the need in general, to bring to the
attention of the students... their parents and the school faculty that,
contributing to the well-being of one's community is an eminently
worthwhile objective and an essential step towards full citizenship and
that it should be recognized.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT The Town of Aurora Award
for the year 2006 and henceforth be varied to recognize academic
excellence and student involvement in school governance and that each
school selection committee be asked to name the award for the program
which best reflects the Town's intention.

COUNCIL - JANUARY 31, 2006
Request for the Ward System Question On the Electoral Ballot 2006
I would like to congratulate the Auroran for presenting the question to it's
readers of whether they would be in support of a Ward System of local
government. This question has appeared a number of times but has failed
recently to be formally presented on the Aurora election ballots.
My presentation is to follow through on the recent General Council meeting
Jan/24Ch' where Council is considering the possibilities of featuring a
question on the electoral ballot. This would be an excellent one to be
featured under the current circumstances of Auroras growth and community
diversities.
Historically, Aurora had such a question brought forward when the
population was around 15-20,000 .The request had gone as far as the OMB
but was defeated primarily because the population was not large enough.
Well, the population today in 2005 is around 46,000 and growing strong
with expectations of 75,000 by 2026 according to the recent information
presented at the strategic plan public meeting .
Anyone driving along the Bayview /Wellington Street area up to St.Jobn's
sideroad can see the huge new residential and commercial developments that
have been happening recently. It's also planned according to the Aurora
growth projections that 400 residential housing starts are expected each year.
So when exactly should Council "consider" the Ward System question?
I say now is the best time to proceed.
I've lived in Aurora 20 years and consider the Town very friendly in
atmosphere having served on a number of committees and volunteer events.
As Aurora develops there are many unique and changing features which
make us a character community attracting new businesses, families and
people. How do we represent all their interests is the challenge?
The Ward system question may be perceived for a number of reasons as
restrictive, and directly affecting the core values of our historical roots as a
friendly community.

COUNCIL - JANUARY 31, 2006

Voter turnout statistics should not be considered as the reason for not having
this question featured on the upcoming ballot. The simple "us" versus"
them" approach clouds this important democratic Town discussion and
should be given the right of due process to the public!
Aurora is surrounded by a large number of communities who are currently
under the Ward System of government. The most recent is Newmarket.
I've attached a copy of thier Corporate Services Report CS2001-84, dated
Oct/18/2001.page 3 of 12
This report brought forth a clear question which could be adjusted with
substitution for the word "Aurora". This could be worded as "Are you in
favour of the implementation of a ward system of representation for the
Municipal Council of the Town of Aurora?" Yes or No .
The question follows the procedure as indicated at the last General Council
meeting according to the Municipal Elections Act,2001.Section 8.1(2)
It should be noted in the Newmarket attached report, that even though the
Yes answers were 63.41 % in favour of the ward system, there was only a
35.97% voter turnout. They and we have never had a 50% voter turnout.
However, it was Newmarket Council's decision to still proceed in the
implementation of the ward system taking the strong general public interest.
There was a clearly defined process with specific criteria outlined that
was followed clearing up many concerns and indicating direct benefits for a
Ward System.
One key criteria area that should be mentioned as Council considers to
proceed here is the allowance for the "preservation of community integrity
and function".
For example, the Aurora Downtown core, and the newly discussed Northeast
Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District, can be areas distinctly
recognized under a ward system of representation.
D-6
COUNCIL - JANUARY 31, 2006
Page 3
Under the same criteria other ward areas could account for distinct
community features where rate payer groups have formed over time in
special geographic areas in Aurora. These are for example in mentioning a
few, the Bayview Wellington Neighbourhood Association, the Olde Aurora
Ratepayers' Association, and the Ratepayers of Aurora Yonge Street South.
Enhancement features through a ward system process could be explored
more fully given the time after this question is featured to the electors on the
2006 ballots. The implementation process , should the question be answered
as a majority in favour can be done in good time by Council.
I respectfully request Council in it's consideration of possible questions to
be featured on the upcoming 2006 electoral ballot, to support this under
"New business", and have appropriate steps taken which will allow public
information to be circulated on this topic.
Regards,
Stephen Granger

Corporate Services Report CS2001-84
October 18, 2001
Page 3 of 12
During the 2000 Municipal Elections, a question was placed before the electors
respecting the division of the municipality into wards. The following was the result of the
referendum:
"Are you in favour of the implementation of a ward system of representation for the
Municipal Council of the Town of Newmarket?
YES 8685 63.41 %
NO 5012 36.59%
Population at that time 67,653.
The question was placed on the ballot under the authority of the Local Democracy
through Direct Referendum Act, which was introduced by the province in the year 2000.
This legislation provides that the results of a referendum vote would be binding on the
municipality if at least 50% of the eligible electors voted in the election. Since the voter
turnout in the election was 35.97%, the result of the vote is not binding. It is therefore
left to Council to make a decision on whether to implement a ward system.
The ward question has previously been placed on the ballot in the Town of Newmarket
on the following occasions:
1982 Yes 3,231
No 5,834
Population at that time 30,953.
1985 Yes 5,125
No 5,518
Population at that time 33,186.
1992 Municipal Board Hearing on Ward Petition
During 1991 the Town received a petition requesting the Town to implement the ward
system. The Town did not act on the request and the petitioners forwarded their request
to the Ontario Municipal Board. The Board Hearing was conducted on March 2, 1992.
The Board ruled that the evidence did not demonstrate a need for a ward system at that
time.
Legislative Authority for Creation of Ward System
The Municipal Act provides in Section 13 (4) that a Council of a local municipality may
pass a bylaw dividing the municipality into wards. Prior to passing the bylaw, the
Council shall give notice of its intention to pass the bylaw and hold at least one public
meeting to consider the matter. The Council must give consideration to any prescribed

Hello Karen,
I would like delegation status at council on Tuesday January 31.
I wish to speak about the Strategic plan update process. The process as presented at an
orientation presentation on 26 January is not a fair one.
- The public is not getting sufficient input.
- Existing Town committees are not getting any input .
- Various undisclosed parties have been allowed to set the starting direction for the,
whole process.
This is a sham and I want to tell council this in more detail on Tuesday.

Development Policies Sections of the Municipality's Official Plan.
Ms Dana Anderson of Meridian Planning Consultants Inc. provided the
Committee with an overview of the Official Plan Review her firm is conducting for

Ms Anderson further advised that the study will also update the current
secondary plan policies for the municipality. Finally, the study will review
comparative approaches of various GTA municipalities that have also completed
similar Official Plan reviews, including the City of Sudbury, which had just
completed the development of an aggressive Economic Development Policy. In
addition, Meridian will utilize other resources including the Region of York's Draft
Growth Plan and the Economic Sectors Analysis for the Town of Aurora.
The Committee discussed the merits of completing of the Economic Sectors
Analysis for the Town of Aurora first, prior to the completion of the Official Plan
Review, to allow integration of finding/recommendations. Ms. Anderson
reiterated the need to integrate these studies with the Strategic Plan Review as
both studies will have an impact on the recommendations in the Strategic Plan.
Both the Chief Administrative Officer and the EDO advised the Committee that all
senior staff were involved in the Strategic Plan Review and assured the
Committee that the information contained in the Economic Sectors Analysis and
the Official Plan review would be integrated with the current on -going Strategic
Plan Review work being undertaken by DPRA.

Subject: Stratigic Plan
Mr. Mayor and members of council.
I attended the public orientation workshop on 26 January and am very disappointed at the
process that what put forward.
1) There were a number of 'KEY' interviews done ahead of time. The results of which were
presented as the basis of the of the presentation. Unfortunately none of the participants
of these '.KEY' interviews were made public so we as the public have no idea what sort of
bias this process is beginning with.
2) Some significant 'KEY' input was never sought out. I am a member of the Environmental
Advisory Committee as well as the Yonge Street redevelopment Advisory sub -committee. I
have also spoken with members of other town advisory committees. These committees should
be part of the 'KEY' interviewprocess, -as their knowledge of the various issues their
committees deal with is quite valuable. None of these committees were ever consulted or
even informed of this process.
3) The time line presented on this process is far to short. Even if a committee wanted to
have input at this point the timeline for the process would not allow it.
Unfortunately this experience of receiving information at a point in time when it is too
late to act upon it has been far too common, at least for the EAC. In this case with such
an important document as the Strategic Plan it is absolutely unforgivable that you would
not consult any of these committees. What is the point of having advisory committees if
they are never given the change to advise?
Please fix this by extending the timeline to allow for committee input and put in
additional open houses so that there is more opportunity for the public to have input
though out the process.

Notice of Motion
Whereas
The Town of Aurora has three high schools.Each year ,awards in excess of one hundred are made to students of
the graduation classes in recognition of excellence in a variety of academic achievement .Dr.G.W.
Williams High School has the greatest number of awards because it is the oldest school.
As well as achieving excellence, students who are informed of the various awards at the beginning of their
high school experience.must make application fot the awards in their last year in school. A committee of
faculty members makes the decisions as to the recipients to be recognised.
The Town of Aurora has made awards to the young man and woman who have achieved academic
excellence in each of the high schools.
There are several awards for academic excel lence.There is no award to recognise excellent and
meaningful participation in school governance at the student level.
In consideration of the need to encourage and recognise students who have had wholehearted
involvement their school community as well as achieving academic excellence... and of the need
in general, to bring to the attention of the students... their parents and the school faculty
that contributing to the well-being of one's community is an eminently worthwhile objective anc
an essential step towards full citizenship and that it should be recognised .
Now therefore be it resolved that The Town of Aurora Award for the year 2006 and henceforth be
varied to recognise academic excellence and student involvement in school governance and
that each school selection committee be asked to name the award for the program which
best reflects the Town's intention

RECOMMENDATION
THAT report PL06-013 be received as information; and,
That staff report back to Council following the resolution of technical matters and
when final comments/draft conditions are received.
BACKGROUND
Location
The subject property is located at the south-east corner of Baview Avenue and Vandorf
Sideroad. It is municipally known as 14425 Bayview Avenue and legally described as
Part of Lot 15, Concession 2, E.Y.S. The property has the following characteristics:
• a total site area of 16.51 hectares (40.79 acres);
• has frontage on Bayview Avenue and Vandorf Sideroad;
• has an existing house to be retained and incorporated
development; and,
• a portion of the property has environmentally significant
identified as part of the "Natural Linkage Area" within
Conservation Plan.
Surrounding Land Uses
The surrounding land uses are as follows:

COUNCIL — JANUARY 31, 2006
January 25, 2006 - 2 - Report No. PL06-013
North: Vandorf Sideroad, beyond which are rural lands that are currently the subject of
Zoning Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications D14-04-01 and
D 12-01-01 A;
South: Rural lands zoned "RU-ORM";
East: Ontario Hydro Corridor; and,
West: Bayview Avenue, beyond which are existing residential lands.
PROPOSAL
The subject applications for a Draft Plan of subdivision and Zoning Amendment propose
75 single detached dwellings. Details of this proposal are as follows:
• 75 single detached lots (with minimum lot widths of 18 metres, minimum lot
depths of 44 metres and minimum lot areas of 792m2);
• a 0.66 hectare (0.27 acre) stormwater management pond;
• a 1.55 hectare (3.83 acre) open space feature; and,
• access is proposed via Bayview Avenue.
• Density: 4.54 units per gross hectare (1.83 units per gross acre)
The estimated population projection for this development is 225 persons (based on a
calculation of 3 persons per dwelling unit).
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
Oak Ridges Moraine
The majority of the subject property is located with the Settlement Area of the Oak
Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan with the exception of south-west corner of the
property which is part of the Natural Linkage Area. No development is proposed for this
portion of the property and it will remain in a natural state and protected by a 10 metre
buffer. This is consistent with the policies of the Oak Ridges Moraine Plan.
The lands within the Settlement Area are also identified as "Category 2-(Moderately
Complex Landform)" according to Schedule "L" Oak Ridges Moraine Landform
Conservation Areas and "Low Vulnerability" as per Schedule "M" of the Oak Ridges
Moraine Areas of High Vulnerability. In terms of Landform Conservation, the applicant
has submitted a Natural Heritage Evaluation and Hydrological Evaluation as per the
requirements of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. Staff have requested
North -South Environmental to peer review these reports for conformity with the Oak
Ridges Moraine Conservation Policies. Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
are also reviewing these reports as well. An addendum to these reports is forthcoming
and therefore comments have not yet been received from either North -South
Environmental or Lake Simcoe Region Conservation at this time.
—44—
COUNCIL — JANUARY 31, 2006
January 25, 2006 - 3 - Report No, PL06-013
Upon receipt of the comments on the Natural Heritage Evaluation and the Hydrological
Evaluation, staff will be able to determine whether the proposed plan of subdivision
conforms to the policies of the Oak Ridges Moraine Plan.
Official Plan
The subject property is currently designated "Suburban Residential" and "Private
Open Space" on Schedule "AA" and "Environmental Policy Area "A" and
"Environmental Protection Areas" on Schedule "BB" within the Bayview Southeast
Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 20). The lands are also located within the
"Settlement Area" of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan as implemented
through Official Plan Amendment 48. These lands were included in Official plan
Amendment 20 as per the Ontario Municipal Board Decision.
The "Suburban Residential" designation permits a range of residential dwelling types.
The subject proposal proposes only single detached which conforms with the
designation permissions. The "Private Open Space" designation is applied to the south-
west corner of the property that is not located within the Oak Ridges Settlement Area
and is identified as part of the "Oak Ridges Moraine Natural Linkage Area" according
to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and Schedule `A' Land Use Plan of the
Town of Aurora Official Plan. These lands are proposed to be left in a natural state and
surrounded by a 10 metre buffer which is consistent with
The proposed plan as it relates to the environmental designations is considered to
conform to the policies of the Bayview Southeast Secondary Plan. As mentioned
previously, the lands designated "Environmental Policy Area A" will remain in a natural
state and protected by a 10 metre buffer. The remainder of the site is designated
"Environmental Protection Area." Section 3.5.4 a) (i) of the secondary plan states:
"Lands shown as Environmental Protection Areas on Schedule "BB" shall remain in their
natural state, except as otherwise permitted by the policies of the secondary plan."
The "Environmental Protection Area" designation is intended to protect these areas and
restrict development. However, given that the remainder of the site is designated
"Suburban Residential" these lands otherwise permit residential purposes. Therefore,
the subject proposal is consistent with the provisions of the "Environmental Protection
Area" designation.
The subject property is further identified on Schedule "CC" of the Bayview Southeast
Secondary Plan as Phase III(c). This allows for a range of 55 to 75 units which this
proposal is consistent with. However, the policies of Section 4.1 (a) to (d) of the
secondary plan indicates that the development of the Bayview Southeast lands shall
follow in sequence as per Schedule "SS" with priority given to the Magna lands located
along Bayview Avenue and progressing southward. Accordingly, this may impact the

COUNCIL — JANUARY 31, 2006
January 25, 2006 - 4 - Report No. PL06-013
Overall, the proposal is consistent with the policies of the Official Plan and Secondary
Plan. Therefore, amendments to these documents will not be required to facilitate the
subject applications.
Environmental Issues
It should be noted that the subject property is located to the north of the old Aurora
Landfill Site. This landfill site is currently being monitored and the latest monitoring
reports are being reviewed by the Public Works Department.
The applicant has submitted Hydrological reports that are currently under review by
North -South Environmental (Peer Review) and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation
Authority. An addendum report is forthcoming. It is expected that these reports will
address impacts, if any, that the proximity of the landfill to this site may have on
groundwater and associated matters.
Zoning By-law
The subject property is currently zoned "Rural General RLI-4 Exception Zone" within
the Town of Aurora By -Law 2213-78, as amended. An amendment to the zoning by-law
will be required to implement the subject proposal. Zoning to permit single detached
dwellings will be applied to this site.
Circulation Comments and Planning Considerations
The subject application was circulated to Town Departments and external agencies.
Final comments and/or conditions of draft approval have not yet been received.
The following final comments still remain outstanding from external agencies
• Region of York;
• Fire Services;
• York Region Catholic District School Board;
• Canada Post;
• Hydro One Networks; and,
• Peer Review Consultant, North South on Hydrogeology Study
A summary of the comments received to date are outlined below.
Building Department
The Building Department have commented on the application. Additional details and
technical information is required.

Leisure Services
Leisure services staff have commented on the application and have made some
suggestions for revisions. Leisure Services Staff have also indicated that they will be
seeking the maximum entitlement for parkland. Given that there is no park shown on
this plan, this will require revisions to the draft plan. Conditions of Draft Plan approval
were not provided at this time.
Public Works
Public works staff have provided comments on the plan, the Functional Servicing
Report, Stormwater Management Report and Traffic Report. Revisions and/or
additional information are required to be addressed prior to draft approval. Draft plan
conditions have been provided.
Aurora Cable Internet
Aurora Cable has indicated that should the development proceed that they will extend
their services to provide cable and internet services to all serviced lots.
Enbridge Gas
Conditions of Draft Approval has been provided.
Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
Final comments have not been provided. Lake Simcoe staff have reviewed the
Functional Servicing Report and are awaiting additional materials for the Hydrological
Report from the applicant to complete their review. Top of bank confirmation for the
Open Space block will be required.

Conditions of Draft approval have been provided.
Aurora Hydro PowerStream
Comments and draft conditions have been required.

COUNCIL — JANUARY 31, 2006
January 25, 2006 - 6 - Report No. PLO6-013
on the subject applications.
Public Comment/Correspondence Received
A letter from the neighbouring property owner, Mr. Fred Rankel of 955 Vandorf Road,
has been provided to planning staff with comments on the subject proposal. A copy of
his letter is attached as an appendix to this report.
Mr. Rankel suggests that the proposed draft plan be redesigned to allow for an
interconnection between his property and the subject property. This would necessitate
the crossing of Hydro lands which are not owned by the Town, Brookvalley
Developments or Mr. Rankel. This would be somewhat onerous to the subject property
owner and may not be feasible as Hydro One would have to be willing to sell a portion
of their lands or allow a crossing of their lands. Further, there is no anticipated timing or
indication that the boundary of the settlement area of the Oak Ridges Moraine Plan
Area will be expanded to allow for the lands to the east of the subject property (Mr.
Rankel's property) to be brought into the Oak Ridges Settlement Area. The Town
cannot plan for the development of lands which are currently considered undevelopable
by the Province. The Rankel property does have frontage onto Vandorf SideRoad, and
therefore access to the property exists in the event that this property should someday
be designated for development.
OPTIONS
As per the recommendations, staff recommends that Council receive this report as
information and direct staff to report back following the resolution of technical matters
and when final comments/draft conditions are received so Council may finalize their
position on the application.
SERVICING ALLOCATION
The subject proposal does not have servicing allocation at this time. The subject
applications will be evaluated according to the servicing allocation matrix that was
approved at the Council meeting of January 17, 2006. Servicing allocation for these
lands will also have to take into account the phasing plan as outlined in the Bayview
Southeast Secondary Plan.
PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT
The subject proposal is consistent with the provisions of the Provincial Policy
Statement.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Development charges and other associated development fees will be generated as a
i
COUNCIL — JANUARY 31, 2006
25, 2006 - 7 - Report No. PL06-013
result of the subject development proposal.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains objectives to ensure high quality, comprehensive
community planning to protect the overall investment of citizens in the community. The
subject applications will facilitate this objective through the creation of this new
community of residential homes.
CONCLUSIONS
The subject applications were brought forward at this time in the interest of keeping
Council informed on applications under consideration, and to ensure that early public
input is received. In view of the various outstanding comments from external agencies
and the resolution of technical matters, staff recommends that a further report be
brought before Council that includes a complete review of all subdivision matters.

ATTN: Deborah Giannetta, M.Sc.Pl
RE: Brookvalley Developments - Public Planning Meeting
After reviewing the Draft Plan of Subdivision by Brookvalley
Developments on part of Lot 15, Concession 2 EYS, I must object
to the street design since it does not provide for the long-term
development of my property. The attached material speaks to its
development potential while recognizing the policies of the Oak
Ridges Moraine Protection Plan.
I therefore ask that the plan be redesigned to provide for a
street that can be extended across the Hydro corridor to my
property and in a location close to the north end of the street
parallel to the Hydro corridor that will also provide for the
extension of sanitary sewers and storm water systems. This is a
typical request under such circumstances.
Ultimately my lands will qualify for development. I am not asking
for development today and recognize that planning is a long-term
responsibility.
I am asking that this matter be decided by the Town of Aurora.
Yours very truly;

REQUEST TO PROVIDE FOP, THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF TIM
FRED RANKEL LANDS SOUTH OF VANDORF ROAD AND EAST OF
BAYViEW AVENUE
It is mognized in the Oak Midges Moraine Protection Plan that lands
currently designated Countryside can be considered for urban
development after ten years subject to satisfying oertain conditions. The
Plan was adopted in April; 2002 and therefore just over 6 years remain.
The opportunity to permit development of Mr. iltankel Sands within b yeses
as provided far in the Oak .Ridges Moraine Protection Ptah should be
allowed alai the I3rookvaIley Developments subdivhian shou}d be
designed to permit street «ftmeotiatls across the Hydra Cnrrklar, such a
oaratecdon w171 provide far access to Mr. Rankel's property and altt:rnaie
ingress and egress to both properties.
• The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan reads in part as follows whete
urban areas maybe o danded into Countryside Areas `Tire area proposed
to be added to Settlement Areas has been kept as low as possible, by
permitting development at densities that promote e,; loient use of ezis#ng
infrastructure and minimize land consumption." We feel that the proposed
Cluster/Open Space plan can meet this provision.
• The Rankel lauds and the BrookvaUey Nveloptnent lands are contiguous
and equally gttabfy flit development in accordance with good planning
prlrtciplas.
• Sanitary sower, storm sewer and water services one available at the
intersection of Bayview Avenue and Vandorf Road and are easily
accessible ftam the property. Access to these servtoes can be provided
through the Brookvalley Developments lands to Rayview Avenue as
shown on the attached plan. Both properties havee easy access to these
two Arterial Roads.
• The Brooltvaliey Development lands were primarily designated
Countryside, with a small wedge at Bayviow Avenue and Vandorf Road
designated Settlement Area in the Oak Ridges Moraine Protection Plan
and is allowed to develop as a Settlement Area due to previous
applications for development. Mr, Rankel lands did not have the same
advantage prior to adoption of the Protection Plan.
• soil and onvirommetttal exports suggest that development on both
properties does not have any environmental constraimM

COUNCIL — JANUARY 31, 2006
* A high quality, low density residemtiallopen space cluster type
development can be constructed on the property as shown an the attached
Cluster/Open Space ]Plan. Such a design will protect the valley lands and
can control water rim -off and permit iri tration into the ground.
• It may be argued that the Hydro lino is a logical separator between the
urban Am am the Countryside Area. It should be noted that the Urban
Area north of Vandorf Road mid cast of Bayvieaw Avenue ornsses the
Hydro lime as shown on the Location Plan. It is therefore not recognized as
a boundary. Areas that can logically be developed should be the criteria.
• It is not pract%si to prevent this property from having a farm of
development that would be consistent with those In other parts of the
Town of Aurora, and located on the Oak Ridges Moraine.
• All necessary studies required by the Town of Aurora and the Regional
Municipality of York regarding servioing and environmental concerns and
other matters will be carried out and all requirements will be itVlotnented.

AGENDA s.
No. P11-06-016-
SUBJECT: Update of Studies in Support of Regional Official Plan
Amendment Authorization to Sign Contract
FROM: Susan. Seibert, Director of Planning
DATE: January 31, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT staff take the necessary action to retain Hemson Consulting LTD to provide
consulting services in support of a Regional Official Plan Amendment to bring the
2C lands into the Regional Official Plan Urban Area at an amount not to exceed
$50,000.
BACKGROUND/COMMENTS:
At the Council Meeting of January 17, 2006 Council considered staff report PL06-001
respecting a request to waive the Town's Purchasing Procedures concerning the provision
of consulting services to undertake an update of background studies to support a Regional
Official Plan Amendment, Council passed the following resolution:
THAT the Town's Purchasing Procedure be waived with respect to sole
sourcing of consulting studies; and
THAT Hemson Consulting Ltd be authorized to complete updates of the work
previously completed by them respecting: population and employment
projections as outlined in Schedule "A" to Figure 1; Fiscal Impact Study to
demonstrate compliance with Section 7.3.8 of the Regional Official Plan; and
confirmation of the role of the 2C lands in the municipal Growth Management
Study in consideration of a Regional Official Plan Amendment to expand the
Regional Official Plan boundaries to include the 2C lands within the Urban
Area. The above noted work is also required to take into consideration the
Statement and the Regional Official Plan.
THAT the above be authorized at an upset limit of $60,000, and
THAT, once the final costhas been confirmed, the Directorof Planning report
back to Council for authorization."
As part of the discussion on this matter, Councillors referred to the lack of a proposed price
M �
COUNCIL — JANUARY 31, 2006
January 31, 2006 - 2 - Report No. PL06-016
for the study as a cause for concern. In response, staff were able to give a verbal update
citing correspondence from Hemson quoting a price of $60,000 for the study. It was
pointed out that, in view of previous work carried out by Hemson cost savings that should
derive for this project. Staff too felt that the pricing might be reduced and have had further
discussions with Hemson and with the Region of York respecting the proposal. As a result,
we have received a revised proposal from Hemson for a total amount of $50,000. This
price reflects a reduction in the price of the work for the fiscal impact review of $7,500 and
$2,500 for the planning justifications. This saving result from two things, discussions with
the Region that have identified greater detail to the project requirements and staff have
agreed to assume a greater responsibility forthe some of the actual justification aspects of
the project.
OPTIONS;
Staff have now been able to reduce the price of proposal for the required background
studies through discussions with the consultant. We are not aware of any further options.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The funds to carry out this study have been included in the 2006 capital budget. The
Growth Related Studies deriving from Development Charges is source of these funds.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains objectives to ensure high quality, comprehensive community
Planning. Carrying out studies to ensure that the development of this area can take place
in a comprehensive mannerfurthers this goal. The process is in accordance with Council's
resolution of May 27, 2003.
CONCLUSIONS
Staff have had further discussions with Hemson and the Region to finalize the work
program needed to complete the studies to support a Regional Official Plan Amendment to
bring the 2C lands into the Urban area of the Regional Official Plan. We have been able
through those discussions to reduce the fees for the project from $60,000 to $50,000.

Re: Animal Control Services
Attention: Councillor Morris
I was very disappointed that Council decided to renew our animal control
services contract with the same service provider who (a) cannot provide
residents with a modern facility and (b) cannot comply with the Dog owners'
Liability Act. However, since this Council seems determined to
continue
their alliance with Kennel Inn I would ask that you honour the commitment
you made at the December 13, 2005 Council Meeting regarding accessibility at
the pound. I understand the office now has a wheelchair ramp; however, I
would ask that you include in this year's contract the requirement that all
trailers and portables also be made wheelchair accessible by March 31, 2006.
I would also ask that you set aside funds in this year's budget for the
construction of a municipal pound. Aurora residents deserve a decent pound.
Thank you.

Al,
In order to assist you in responding to Councillor Morris' memorandum dated January
27, 2006, I am providing below an update and clarification on the points raised in the
aforementioned memo.
The Project Team
At the time of creating the website it was determined that for efficiency, any feedback
should be directed through the Project Manager. The Building Committee is identified
by name but email or phone numbers were not listed. It is important to note that most
feedback inquiries were general comments and or information seeking. Feedback
received was reviewed with the Building Committee at regular meetings.
If you prefer to show email addresses and phone numbers for all Committee members,
this can easily be amended the same day as your request.
I apologise for not having updated the Committee from the departure of Mr. Allison and
Mr. Grellete, along with the addition of Mr. Karmazyn. This has now been corrected.
MHPM — The Project Manager
As with the other Consulting and Contracting firms identified on the website, the icons
are meant to link you directly to the Company website for general information. The
direct email set up was designed to be used by clicking on the "FEEDBACK" link on the
left hand menu. Once you click on that, complete the form and hit submit, the message
arrives via email directly on the Project Manager's desktop.

To answer each inquiry directly regarding the FEEDBACK FORM:
Page 2 of 2
• The Feedback form goes directly to the Project Manager's email Inbox.
• There have been 27 Feedback forms received and responded too.
• The Feedback forms are noted once access to the website has been attained. I am
not aware of additional advertisement.
• I do not believe hard copy forms are available at the Recreation Complex since
Occupancy in September 2005.
• A Copy of each Feedback form and relative response, has been printed and
provided to the Leisure Services Department and can be viewed by Staff and
Council at anytime.
I am disappointed that the Feedback forms on the website has caused some confusion and
or frustration. The site has been regularly updated since inception in July 2004 and gives
excellent update schedule information, project status and photographs of progress of
work on site. When presented to Council in July 2004 it was described how the site
would work and how comments could be directed to the Project Team easily via the
website.
Should you wish to discuss any of the points raised or any other aspect of the website
further, please contact me at your convenience.

FROM: Liz White, Director
Animal Alliance of Canada and Environment Voters
Barry MacKay, Canadian Representative
Animal Protection Institute and Resident of Markham
SUBJECT: Recommendations to the General Committee regarding Agenda
Item #4 — No. CSo6-005: Provision of Future Animal Control
Services
DATE: January 31, 20o6
Dear Mayor and Councillors,
Thank you for the opportunity to appear before Council and provide additional
information on issues that were raised at the General Committee last week.
Recommendations:
Animal Alliance of Canada and the Animal Protection Institute recommends to
Committee and Council the following:
r. That if Council supports the recommendation to renew the contract with
Kennel Inn for one year, the contract include:
a) improved animal statistics reporting for Aurora, including but not
limited to the number of dogs and cats admitted, number claimed,
adopted and euthanized, number who died in the shelter and the number
of DOAs (Appendix A: see sample for Clarington Animal Services
Monthly Report);
b) a request that Kennel Inn explain the discrepancy between total number
of animals admitted and the total number euthanized, adopted and
claimed, in the "Animals Unaccounted" column (Appendix B: Dogs and
Cats Handled by Kennel Inn for Aurora, 2002 to September 30, 2005,
with percentage columns and "animals unaccounted added).
b) the insertion of a clause in the service agreement with Kennel Inn that no
lost pets from Aurora be given temporarily, gifted or sold to Seneca
College or any other institution, as they are now under the Animals for
Research Act and that Council include a similar provision in Aurora's
Animal Control By-law;
c) a requirement that Kennel Inn include the number of Aurora's lost dogs
and cats sent to Seneca for research purposes and their final destination
(adopted at Seneca, adopted at Kennel, claimed or euthanized) and that
this information be included in the reporting mechanism suggested in
(a); and
d) a requirement that Seneca College provide the protocols developed for
the procedures conducted on Aurora's dogs and cats in 2005.
2. That Council explore options, including a shared facility with other
municipalities in the region and a local, publicly owned and operated
municipal shelter and animal services programme;
Rationale:
Recommendation #i(a) and (c): Requirement for statistical
reporting:
Under freedom of Information Request # 2005-08, Animal Alliance received the
statistics for the Aurora dogs and cats handled by Kennel Inn between 2002 and
2005.
There are several concerns that need to be addressed by Council. They are as
follows:
i) Kennel Inn claimed that the euthanasia rates for Aurora's lost pets were below
the 5%. This statement is not accurate. Although the number of dogs
euthanized averaged 3% over the four years, euthanasia rates for cats was at
26%, significantly higher than the claim made by Kennel Inn;
ii) There are large numbers of animals unaccounted for in the statistics. Over the
last four years, 47 dogs or 13% were unaccounted for and 158 cats or 33% were
also unaccounted for.
Recommendation *2: No pets be sold, given or gifted to research:
Currently Kennel Inn sends over too dogs and cats to Seneca College to be used
as teaching subjects in the Veterinary Technician programme. The numbers
provided are not broken down by municipality.
The animals are requisitioned under the Animals for Research Act and are
subject to the same Act while at Seneca. Under the Ontario Animals for Research
Act, research is defined as follows:
"research" means the use of animals in connection with
studies, investigation and teaching in any field of
knowledge, and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, includes the use of animals for the performance
of tests, and diagnosis of disease and the production and
testing of preparations intended for use. in the diagnosis,
prevention and treatment of any disease or condition; "
http: //tvww.laws.gov.on.ca/DBLawsIStahtteslEnglishl9Da2z_e.h tm
There are three reasons why this practice should be stopped. They are:
a. Stress: Shelters are stressful places for lost pets. The sooner the animals
are claimed or adopted into new homes, the sooner the stress is alleviated.
The Kennel Inn animals who are "loaned" to the Seneca programme,
experience additional levels of stress during the four to six week stay. In
fact these animals are caged for two months and longer. Although 35% of
the animals sent to Seneca in 2002 qnd 2003 were adopted, 65% were
subjected to extended cage time without any opportunity for adoption
until they were returned to Kennel Inn.
b. The research: First, the procedures conducted by the veterinary
technician students are done regardless of whether the animals require or
benefit from the procedure. As the notes from Jane Wilson. Coordinator of
FIPPA for Seneca College show, blood drawing for example is done on
healthy dogs who do not appear to need such a procedure done. The notes
state, "[drawing blood] maximum of 3 times in one day (not daily); with
a different unused vein for each time. This would be for a healthy, .
relatively unstressed animal whose prior use for skills would have not
caused trauma. Others would be used." (Appendix C: Information
Request, Jane Wilson, Tues 16 Mar 2004)
Second, Ms Wilson claims that all the dogs and cats will be spayed and
neutered (If homes cannot be found for these animals will they be returned
to Kennel Inn? Yes. Will they all be spayed/neutered if returned? Yes)
However, the statistics she provides shows that only 65% of the dogs and
cats are spayed and neutered. What is unclear is why the remaining 35%
of the animals are not sterilized.
3
Third, the animals are subjected to procedures that are by their very
definition invasive. The procedures as listed in the Freedom of
Information request, sterilization, declawing, prophylactic dentistry and
extractions (if warranted), radiographs, vaccinations, blood withdrawal for
clinical evaluation and injections considered at Levels B and C. Categories
of Invasiveness as described the Canadian Council on Animal Care. At a
minimum, Council should be aware of the procedures conducted on the
animals sent to Seneca from Kennel Inn. Copies of the protocols
developed by Seneca as required by the Canadian Council on Animal Care
(CCAC) would provide the best unfiltered information. The CCAC states
"Investigators and teachers who consider it essential to use vertebrates
or invertebrates in their research, teaching or testing in the laboratory or
in the field, must adhere to humane principles... Protocols must be
submitted to an appropriate review committee for all studies and courses
which involve the use of vertebrates and some invertebrates in Categories
B through E. " (Appendix D: Categories of Invasiveness in Animal
Experiments -r9gi, Canadian Council on Animal Care)
c. Other municipalities have stopped: As reported in the December 20,
2005 edition of The Liberal, "Richmond Hill council members decided to
stop the kennel it pays to collect stray pets from sending them to research."
The Town of Markham which also had a contract with Kennel Inn until
January 2oo6 stopped sending several years earlier.
d. Community opposition: We know from our work in other
municipalities that residents do not want their lost pet "loaned' for
research. The issue has been enormously controversial in many
communities including Winnipeg, Clarington, Oshawa, Erin and Erimosa,
Dundalk, Montreal, St Johns, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. In every
community the practice was stopped because of community outrage.
We are recommending an alternative programme with Seneca in which the
veterinary technicians provide a "veterinary clinic" having animals brought in
only for the treatment and conducting only those procedures that are in the
interest of the individual animal.

2. & 3. spay, neuter and declaw (cats) If requested by the adoptor, prophylactic dentistry and
extractions (if warranted); radiographs; animal handling; vaccinations; blood withdrawal for clinical
evaluation; injections (for mocinabon, (herapeullcs and teaching); oral medications; ear cleaning
and medication; bandaging
Note: other procedures may be performed to rectify existing problems as per standard veterinary
care, Examples - orthopaedlm, tumour removal, wound repair, etc. among others and are
performed by Dr. Emmans, resident licenced Veterinarlan (CVO Lic 2696)
4. (a) 3 times (maximum), less or none If deemed warranted

the Canadian Council on Animal Care's (CCAC) Ethics of Animal
Investigation and other CCAC documentation in assigning a category.
Protocols must be submitted to an appropriate review committee for all
studies and courses which involve the use of vertebrates and some
invertebrates in Categories a through E. Cephalopods and some other
higher invertebrates have nervous systems as well developed as in some
vertebrates, and may therefore warrant inclusion in Category B, C, D, or
E.
The following list of categories provides possible examples of
experimental procedures which are considered to be representative of
each category:
A. Experiments on most invertebrates or on live isolates
Possible examples: the use of tissue culture and tissues
obtained at necropsy or from the slaughterhouse; the use of
eggs, protozoa or other single -celled organisms; experiments
involving containment, Incision or other invasive procedures on
metazoa.
B. Experiments which cause little or no discomfort or stress
Possible examples: domestic flocks or herds being maintained
in simulated or actual commercial productlon management
systems; the short-term and skilful restraint of animals for
purposes of observation or physical examination; blood
sampling; Injection of material in amounts that will not cause
adverse reactions by the following routes: intravenous,
subcutaneous, Intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or oral, but not
intrathoracic or intracardiac (Category C); acute non -survival
studies in which the animals are completely anesthetized and do
not regain consciousness; approved methods of euthanasia
following rapid unconsciousness, such as anesthetic overdose, or
decapitation preceded by sedation or light anesthesia; short
periods of food and/or water deprivation equivalent to periods of
abstinence in nature.
C. Experiments which cause minor stress or pain of short
duration
Possible examples: cannulation or catheterization of blood
vessels or body cavities under anesthesia; minor surgical
procedures under anesthesia, such as biopsies,laparoscopy;
short periods of restraint beyond that for simple observation or
examination, but consistent with minimal distress; short periods
of food and/or water deprivation which exceed periods of
abstinence in nature; behavioral experiments on conscious
animals that involve short-term, stressful restraint; exposure to
UM
non -lethal levels of drugs or chemicals. Such procedures should
not cause significant changes in the animal's appearance, in
physiological parameters such as respiratory or cardiac rate, or
fecal or urinary output, or In social responses.
Note: During or after Category C studies, animals must not
show self -mutilation, anorexia, dehydration, hyperactivity,
increased recumbency or dormancy, increased vocalization,
aggressive -defensive behavior or demonstrate social withdrawal
and self -isolation.
D. Experiments which cause moderate to severe distress or
discomfort
Possible examples: major surgical procedures conducted
under general anesthesia, with subsequent recovery; prolonged
(several hours or more) periods of physical restraint; Induction
of behavioral stresses such as maternal deprivation, aggression,
predator -prey interactions; procedures which cause severe,
Persistent or irreversible disruption of sensorimotor organization;
the use of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (see CCAC Guidelines on
Acceptable Immunological prn )
Other examples include induction of anatomical and physiological
abnormalities that will result in pain or distress; the exposure of
an animal to noxious stimuli from which escape is impossible;
the production of radiation sickness; exposure to drugs or
chemicals at levels that Impair physiological systems.
Note: Procedures used in Category D studies should not cause
Prolonged or severe clinical distress as may be exhibited by a
wide range of clinical signs, such as marked abnormalities in
behavioral patterns or attitudes, the absence of grooming, dehydration, abnormal vocalization, prolonged anorexia, circulatory collapse, extreme lethargy or disinclination to move,
and clinical signs of severe or advanced local or systemic
infection, etc. ,
E. Procedures which cause severe pain near, at, or above
the pain tolerance threshold of unanesthetized conscious
animals
This Category of Invasiveness is not necessarily confined to
surgical procedures, but may include exposure to noxious stimuli
or agents whose effects are unknown; exposure to drugs or
chemicals at levels that (may) markedly impair physiological
systems and which cause death, severe pain, or extreme
distress; completely new biomedical experiments which have a
high degree of invasiveness; behavioral studies about which the
effects of the degree of distress are not known; use of muscle
relaxants or paralytic drugs without anesthetics; burn or trauma
infliction on unanesthetized animals; a euthanasia method not
approved by the CCAC; any procedures (e.g., the injection of
noxious agents or the induction of severe stress or shock) that
will result in pain which approaches the pain tolerance threshold
and cannot be relieved by analgesia (e.g., when toxicity testing
and experimentally -induced infectious disease studies have
death as the endpoint).
