Wellington HS site
Hi Sue, further to my voicemail....
Our Director and the Chair of the Board are willing, to appear before Council to introduce
the concept of the high school site on Wellington St. in order to further develop our
relationship with Council in working together to serve the needs of the Town of Aurora.
I presume the minutes (including motions) from the Heritage Committee need to go to
Council for approval? When will this happen?
Would that be the best time for us to make our deputation?
How do we get on the agenda?
Thanks for your assistance.

3. Ms Shelley Ware, Special Events Co-ordinator - Canada Day Celebrations
Ms Shelley Ware addressed the Committee to present new ideas for Canada Day
celebrations for the Town of Aurora. Ms Ware suggested that the event be branded as
"Aurora's Homecoming" and that the format could be improved in order to make it an
even greater success over previous years.
Ms Ware reviewed the current event layout, indicating that some gaps have been
identified, such as the current programming not addressing all age groups and events
ending at 4:00 p.m., beginning again at dusk, forcing attendees to leave and return again.
later in the day. Ms Ware also indicated a lack of Aurora feel amongst the entertainers,
vendors and activities, suggesting that there are many untapped Aurora services that
could be utilized.
Ms Ware proposed some new ideas for the event layout, including:
➢ Moving the Dance in the Park event on June 30th from Town Park to the Leisure
Complex in order to reduce labour costs, reduce liability and centralize the events;
➢ Allowing a local service club to take ownership of the Dance in the Park (beer
garden) in order to reduce liability and allow the Special Events Sub -Committee to
have more of an overview of the entire event;
➢ Offering Canada Day activities from 11:00 a.m. until 10:30 p.m.;
➢ Adding a midway from Friday until Sunday, allowing for additional revenues to the
Town.

Walter Mestrinaro enquired whether the bunker located on Old Yonge Street near St.
John's Sideroad was worthy of designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. The
Community Planner advised that more information regarding the site is required.
Councillor Kean advised the Committee that the residents in the vicinity of Trinity Anglican
Church (Wellington South) were interested in being part of the Heritage District Study area.
The Community Planner advised that he has had extensive discussions with the lead
resident and advised that it is too far into the current process to amend the study area
boundaries; however, once the current Draft Plan has been adopted by Council, it will be
the template for future Heritage Districts.
Councillor Wallace enquired about the implications of future owners of homes within the
designated Heritage District should they wish to opt out of the District. The Community
Planner advised that once the Heritage District Plan is approved by Council, changes to
the boundary either to add or delete properties would require re -consideration of the
entire district boundary through a process consistent with that followed to create the
district. It will be the responsibility of the seller to advise future owners of this
designation. The heritage district designation is registered on title.

general workers in the construction and other empfdyment sectors;

prosperity of their communities;
AND WHEREAS the potential exists for the exploitation of undocumented workers who do not have
the rights and freedoms enjoyed by all Canadians;
AND WHEREAS the pursuit and deportation of undocumented workers does not address the root
causes of current labour shortages which are negatively impacting the long-term viability of the
Canadian economy;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the City of Vaughan requests the Federal Minister of

Item 47, CW Report No. 18 — Pace 2
Purpose
To adopt a Council resolution that reaffirms the City of Vaughan's commitment to sustainable
growth and a diverse local economy, and in recognition of the valuable contributions made by
immigrant workers to Canada, by supporting progressive immigration policies and the legal
protection of all workers.
Background - Analysis and Options
This Council resolution is intended to address the concerns of residents, local businesses and
worker organizations about recently -ordered deportations of undocumented workers and the
potential disruptive effect this could have on the local economy. In particular, Mr. Tony Dionisio,
of Local 183 of the Labourer's International Union Of North America has requested that the City
make a statement in support of resolving the plight of undocumented workers. The L.I.U.N.A.
Local 183 Training Centre is located on Huntington Road in Vaughan.
Relationship to Vaughan Vision 2007
This report is consistent with the priorities previously set by Council and complies with the
Vaughan Vision goal to strengthen relationships with other government authorities and agencies
by establishing a position of "advocacy" for Vaughan's priorities with other levels of government
(5.3.2).
Conclusion
Council adoption of this resolution will support the efforts of various groups to resolve the long-
standing problem of undocumented workers in Canada.

Subject: heritage designation
Whereas... among the tools provided to municipalize to preserve heritage properties are various financial
incentives. Property tax relief is one.The authority to provide grants and loans for maintenance
of properties is another.
And whereas ,the authority to inspect and order home -owners to carry out needed repairs on the
properties is also granted
And whereas in the event of the failure of the property owner to carry out the repairs on designated
properties municipalities have the authority to assign a contract for the needed
repairs , pay the cost and charge back to the property owner in taxes.
And whereas the Act gives municipalities the authority to prosecute owners for contravening
any section of a Heritage Designation Bylaw and seek fines ranging from $250.thousand up
to one million dollars.
And whereas such an eventuality would undoubtedly incur an expenditure of hundred of thousands
of dollars in legal costs
And whereas ,when a municipality exercises the authority granted under the Heritage Act..
the implication is that the municipality considers the properties designated to be of sufficient
importance to take responsibility for the physical and financial aspects of their maintenance
And whereas indications are that neighbourhoods other than the north-east quadrant are
seeking the same entitlement to heritage designation and the benefits thereof
And whereas municipalities are required by regulations to conform to certain requirements
of forecasting in budget plans
And whereas there has been no deliberation whatsoever by council in the matter of the
financial implications of adopting a Heritage Designation Bylaw.
And whereas there is a record of a grant having been made 15 years ago to replace the roof
of 74 Wellington Street a house in private ownership.
And whereas an inquiry has already been received by the Heritage Advisory Committee about
the availability of property tax relief.
And whereas the committee has recommended council defer that question until after
he Heritage Designation Bylaw has been processed
Now therefore be it resolved no further action be taken on the proposed Heritage Designated
Neighbourhood until such time as the potential financial costs have been determined.
And further until the community at large has been consulted about their willingness to shoulder
this extra burden of taxation
And until the provincially regulated requirements of budget forecasting have been satisfied.

FROM: Allan D. Downey, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: April 25, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Council approve the amendments to By -Law #4639-05.F to the Department of
Leisure Services Existing Fees and Service Charges after an appropriate notice has

BACKGROUND
As a result of changes in the Municipal Act in 2001, municipalities are required to have all
fees and services charged to the public approved with an accompanying By -Law after
there has been the required notice of the intended passage of the By -Law.
With the opening of the new Seniors' Centre and the imminent opening of the new
Recreation Complex staff have recommended the inclusion of some new program
opportunities as well as applicable rental fees for permitted use of space within these two
facilities.
Further, as a result of the Leisure Services Advisory Committee recommendation and
Council's decision at Council Meeting No. 06-07 held on February 28, 2006, staff have also
reflected any new or amended fees.
COMMENTS
Listed below are the amendments to the fee schedule:
Vendor Permit/Clean-Up Fee:
This new fee will be paid by vendors who wish to participate in Town operated Special
Events on Town property and will offset the additional cost to clean up Town owned
property after an event.
2. Float Registration Fees:
These fees are being implemented as a result of Council's direction at Council meeting
held on February 28, 2006.
3. Specialty Camps:

Some of the rental fees are increasing slightly as a result of additional costs of
operating a facility, increased staff costs for set-up and take down and to reflect a
comparable rate with our other facilities.
All other fees have remained the same.
CONCLUSIONS
That Council approve the By -Law as presented.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The implementation of the new fees and the fee amendments are expected to generate
approximately $31,772 in additional revenue for the Department.

PART 1 — THE PREAMBLE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This part of the Amendment entitled Part 1 - The Preamble, introduces the
Amendment and describes the context and planning process leading to the
document's preparation. It is for explanatory purposes only and does not form part of
the Amendment.
2.0 PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT
The purpose of this amendment is to establish a site specific policy applying to the
subject lands shown on Schedule "A" and Schedule "H", attached hereto and forming
part of this amendment. This amendment will permit 3 residential units on the
ground floor of the 5 storey mixed use commercial and residential building already
approved for the subject lands.
3.0 LOCATION
The lands affected by this amendment are located at 15450 Yonge Street, better
described as Part of Lot 3 R.P. 246 and Part of Block B R.P. 475. They are located
at the north-west quadrant of the Aurora Heights Drive and Yonge Street and are
comprised of approximately 0.45 hectares (1.13 acres) of land.
4.0 BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT
Council has enacted this amendment in response to the following:
4.1 A request by the Owner for an official plan amendment and zoning by-law
amendment to permit residential uses on the ground floor of an approved
mixed residential commercial 5 storey building.
4.2 There is no change in density or maximum number of units. Sixty-four (64)
residential units have been proposed for this property since the original zoning
amendment application in 2002.
4.3 The mixed use nature of the building is not compromised. The proposed
residential area of the main floor is an area that cannot viably be used for
commercial uses. It is not visible from Yonge Street. In terms Yonge Street
streetscape, the commercial units face Yonge Street. This provides an
opportunity to optimize the number of residential units that can be offered in
this building with no impact on the commercial uses that would realistically

locate here given the shape and configuration of the main floor.

were no objections to them from commenting agencies.
