Memo
Further to your requests of January 201h, please find below either the information
requested or the status of the information that was requested during the capital budget
discussions:
Summary of Capital Projects with Consulting Fees (Appendix A)
Council had requested Senior Management to provide a summary of all projects that
have consulting fees associated with them. Attached hereto, is a list of the Capital
projects in priority ranking, with the final column showing the amount of the project that is
consultant fees. Also attached is a list of Operating Departments that have included
funding for consultants in their budget requests. From these two lists, we have asked
each Director to report back on their department's ability to do the work in-house and if
there would be any economy of scale if we were to tender jobs together. This report will
be available for your budget meeting of February 3, 2007.
2007 Vehicle Requests (Appendix B)
In the interest of integrated decision making, Council had requested a summary of all
vehicle requests (replacement and new) for 2007 that prioritizes the requests, this report
will be provided to you at the next budget meeting. As background information, I have
included a copy of the most recent Fleet Management Review in this package, which
was completed in 2005.

Discretionary and Obligatory Reserves
A listing of all Discretionary and Obligatory Reserves with an explanation as to what
these are for and how they get replenished will be provided to you at the next budget
meeting.
Theatre Aurora Capital Improvements (#72043)pg 27 (Appendix C)
Copies of the Asphalt Parking Lot at Factory Theatre (LS06-036) and the Theatre Aurora
Lease Agreement (LS03-033) have been included in this package to provide background
information as well as confirmation that the project requires total funding of $90,000 to
complete the contracted improvements. Of the $90,000 required, the project currently
contains funding of $28,918 that was approved as part of the 2006 capital budget,
Town Hall Generator (#72069) pg 29
The question of the expected lifespan of the generator was raised and in response, it is
anticipated to have a lifespan of between 20 and 30 years, with continued routine
maintenance and depending on the amount of hours is use each year.
Fitness Centre Expansion (#72058) pg 31 (Appendix D)
A copy of the Capital Plan (2003 — 2012) spreadsheet from the 2003 Culture and
Recreation Master Plan has been included in this package as back-up for the estimated
expenditure for the proposed expansion.
Parkland Acquisition (#73003) pq 37
The question of which type of facilities will be impacted if the acquisition does get
approved and in response, the lands to be purchased in 2007 would be used for
playground and baseball/softball activities.
Northeast Quadrant Traffic Calming Plan Implementation (#31060) pq 40
The Director of Public Works has provided confirmation that there are no outstanding
issues with regards to this project.

Seston Park Playground Replacement (#73066) mg 46 (Appendix E)
An excerpt from the 2000 Culture and Recreation Master Plan (Table 8-2) that provided
the timelines for the replacement or upgrade of existing facilities and structures has been
included as part of this package.
Sheppard's Bush Sports Field (#73069) pg 47 (Appendix F)
Background information that relates to this project including copies of the following have
been included in this package:
the report on operating costs for soccer fields (please note that Sheppard's Bush
is a Class Afield)
Artificial Sports Field — Sheppard's Bush (LS05-066)
Correspondence with the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority that
provides confirmation. that they agree, in principle, with the Town of Aurora
installing an artificial sports field at the Sheppard's Bush Conservation Area
Council had also requested a breakdown of the $60,000 in operating savings. The
savings is actually a combination of operating savings and cost avoidance. As broken
down in the cost benefit analysis included in LS05-066, the operating savings is the
difference between the annual costs for a natural turf field ($43,320) and an artificial turf
field ($26,366) resulting in savings of $16,954. The cost avoidance of $43,320 comes
from not having to build another natural turf field as the artificial turf field will provide the
same playing time as two natural turf fields.
Upright Lift (#72035) pq 51
Currently, Leisure Services is renting a two person lift ($406 per day including delivery or
$865 per week). The existing upright lift, located at the Leisure Complex, is only a one
person lift, which is not suitable for many tasks that require two people (changing large
light ballast). This 16 year -old lift could be sold to partially offset the purchase cost of the
two person lift.
Former Hydro Building Renovation (#73004) pq 52 (Appendix G)
A copy of Alternative Uses of the Former Hydro Building report (LS06-042) has been
included in this package.
Energy Management and Conservation Building Retro-fits (#72055) pq 62 (Appendix H)
A copy of the report from Shaheen & Peaker Limited that confirms the structural
soundness of Town Hall has been included in this package.
—3—
Church Street School Renovation (#72059) pg 66
The question was asked, if we switch the Historical Society project from capital to a
grant, could we pay it out over a period of years. The simple answer is you can pay the
grant over the next four years (your term of Council), however, we must account for the
grant in the year it is committed as a liability for the municipality.
Aurora War Memorial (#73043) pq 67 (Appendix 1)
A copy of the memo regarding the Aurora War Memorial (Cenotaph) has been included
in this package as background information.
Town Hall Phase 3 Repaving of Parking Lot (#73035) pg 93
Information regarding the 2006 cost of annual maintenance, such as crack filling, for the
Town Hall parking lot will be provided to you at the next budget meeting.
ARC — Tables & Chairs (#72056) pq 100
A breakdown of the purchase cost by tables and chairs, cost to rent the equipment and
cost to transport equipment between facilities had been requested for this project.
- 10 tables @ $200 per table = $2,000
- 200 stackable chairs @ $80 per chair = $16,000
- Cost to rent from Chairman Mills is $10 per table and $4 per chair
- Cost to move between facilities is $25 per set-up and $25 per take down
Employee Survey (#12003) pg 101 (Appendix J)

Fleet Management Review

Town of Aurora — Final Report
Fleet Management Study
October 2005
Executive Sumnnary
The Town of Aurora recently consolidated its vehicle and equipment fleets into one,
within the Department of Public Works (DPW). The combined fleet consists of
approximately 200 units, predominately used for Roads Operations and Parks
Operations. Other users are Water/Wastewater, Traffic, Library Square, the Community
Centre and the Leisure Complex. By -Law Enforcement and the Aurora/Newmarket Fire
Department are customers for fuel only.
The fleet is maintained in a two bay section of the DPW building at Scanlon Court.
Parks Operations are also located at Scanlon Court.
In 2004 the total expenditure for fleets was $1 M. In 2005 the budget for the combined
fleet was set at $0.75M. To achieve this aggressive cost control on a consistent basis,
the Town commissioned a Fleet Management Review to analyze the entire fleet system
from acquisition to disposal.
The previous replacement schedules and planned contributions to the replacement
reserve were adequate, but various deferments have resulted in the fleet being 1-2
years behind schedule for replacements. A 15 year replacement schedule was
developed for the combined fleet. It has been provided separately. The analysis showed
a required gross annual reserve input of $485K. This could be reduced to $434K and
$401 K respectively with allowances for salvage and fund interest. The analysis also
indicates that the reserve fund can maintain a positive cash flow for the on -going
scheduled replacements with the reserve contribution of $401 K per year. Some
additional input would be required if it is necessary to replace the majority of the
overdue equipment. Further reductions would be possible with a Fleet Management
System (FMS) in place to record fleet costs.
Currently, there is no system in place to capture the cost of individual units. The
financial accounting system records labour, material, parts, fuel, etc. in line item
accounts, but has no capability to assign costs to individual vehicles. Without a unit
costing system for the fleet, there is no data to analysis for "fleet management" or use in
the activity based costing system.
It is the Town's intent that all fleet users will reimburse Fleet for the actual costs of
owning and maintaining vehicles/equipment and that the fleet budget will net to zero
each year. Currently Public Works is over paying for equipment use through the activity
based costing (ABC) system. (Using MTO equipment rental rates that do not reflect
Aurora's actual equipment cost). Leisure Services cannot participate in the ABC system
because there is no usage or cost data (past or current) to develop equipment rental
rates. The 2005 Leisure Services budget contains funding for a contribution to reserves
but has no funding to reimburse Fleet for fuel, maintenance, insurance, etc.
The Fleet garage is staffed with two mechanics. A preventative maintenance system is
in place, the fleet is adequately maintained and as of the end of June the expenditure

Town of Aurora — Final Report October 2005
Fleet Management Study
for fleet maintenance was within budget. However, due to the lack of a FMS, the
maintenance program is reactive instead of proactive. Fleet, for various reasons, is still
in the process of adapting to the realities of a diverse customer base. Plans are in
process to provide seasonal emphasis to Parks and Roads for service, over -haul
programs and a proactive PM program.
The completion of a corporately integrated fleet management system is 3 to 5 years
away. In the interim Fleet will need to develop temporary (Excel spread sheets) or
intermediate (stand alone canned software) methods of collecting and recording fleet
data for management analysis, the ABC system and cost recovery from Leisure
Services.
The fuel dispensing and recording system is beyond efficient support for both the
hardware and the software, and needs to be replaced. The existing repair garage bays
are too narrow for the larger equipment. The facility does not have a wash -bay, which is
necessary for corrosion control, salt management and public image.
The recommendations in this report are too numerous to recount in an executive
summary but can be summarized as follows;
• Make and keep a policy decision to maintain a sustainable Fleet Replacement
Reserve and Fleet by making the required annual contribution.
• Establish formal proactive Fleet customer specific seasonal service and over-
haul programs.
• Develop an interim Fleet Management System to bridge to the integrated
corporate FMS.
• Establish full and equitable cost recovery from all Fleet users.
• Replace the fuel dispensers and fuel management system with a system that will
complement the FMS.
• Consider expanding the repair garage from 2 to 4 bays and adding an enclosed
wash bay.
The Town of Aurora has a Vehicle/Equipment Fleet and expects Fleet Management but
Aurora does not have a Fleet Management System and will not achieve effective Fleet
Management without an FMS.
However Aurora has willing and able people that want a managed fleet, an adequate
fleet, a regularly replaced fleet and an adequately maintained fleet.

Town of Aurora — Final Report October 2005
Fleet Management Study
Section 1- Introduction
1.1 Background
The Town of Aurora (Aurora) owns approximately 200 units of vehicles and equipment
for operational support.
The responsibility for fleet management in the Town of Aurora was recently
consolidated within the Department of Public Works (DPW). The primary fleet users are
Roads, Parks, Water & Sewer, Traffic and Arenas.
DPW and Parks Operations are located in Aurora's only operations yard at 9 Scanlon
Court off Industrial Parkway N. Fleet maintenance occupies two bays in the DPW
building.
1.2 Purpose
The Fleet Management Review was undertaken to establish appropriate fleet
management strategies and procedures to enable the vehicle and equipment
(equipment) fleet to support the delivery of public programs and services. The goal of
DPW fleet management is:
"To provide responsive, flexible, efficient and comprehensive fleet services to support
the delivery of public programs and services."
And with the stated objectives:
• Minimize life -cycle vehicle and equipment costs
• Ensure fiscal performance
• Improve customer satisfaction
• Green the fleet where appropriate
• Optimize scheduled fleet replacement
1.3 Scope
The intent of this study is to analyze the Aurora fleet operation from acquisition to
disposal, including a review of acquisition, replacement, disposal, specifications,
utilization, mechanic productivity, parts management, outsourced repairs, fleet
management information, fuel management and fleet maintenance.

1.4 Project Timelines and Deliverables
The project requirements were an interim report in mid August 2005 and draft final
report prior to the end of September 2005 for a fleet management plan that included an
implication plan, an implementation costs budget and policy/procedures for the major
components of the fleet management plan. The final report is to be delivered at a
mutually agreed to time period after Aurora provides IDM Consultants with comments
on the draft report.
1.6 Approach
The methodology used to prepare this analysis involved the following elements:
• The following information was collected from Aurora.
- organization charts
- 2005 operating and capital budgets
- vehicle and equipment lists
- preventive maintenance plan
- copies of defect sheet, repair order, vehicle inspection report (CVOR)
- 2004 maintenance and fuel costs for some equipment
- 2004 repair orders for DPW and Parks equipment
• A representative cross-section of the fleet was inspected by a licensed mechanic
experienced in public works and parks equipment maintenance.
Interviews and discussions were conducted with staff from DPW, Parks and
Administration to determine the expectations of both the equipment users and
the equipment providers.

A visit was made to a city with a similar population that is in the process of
developing a fleet management system.
Discussions were carried out with other cities_ concerning various aspects of their
fleet systems.
Information was accessed through the internet.
1.6 Overview
Aurora is a Town of 46,000 people, and operates a 200 vehicle fleet with an annual
budget in the $750,000 range. The majority of workers and staff are multi -task oriented
by necessity. Throughout this Review it was kept firmly in mind that any
recommendations must be practical and affordable. For example, the text book perfect
solution for the garage parts inventory is to have a controlled access room with a formal
inventory system and dedicated stock keeper services. This is not cost effective for an
inventory valued at $20,000.

Section 2 - Current Situation
2.1 Operations Yard
The Operations Yard is located on an 4.2 acre site at the court end of Scanlon Court,
which runs westerly off Industrial Parkway N. Scanlon Court is a short street and there
are four lots on the street portion. One, on the NW corner, is vacant and the other three
are occupied with active businesses. The DPW yard occupies the court portion of
Scanlon Court which is completely surrounded by occupied properties.
There are four buildings on the DPW site. One is the DPW Operations Centre (built in
1975) which has a two story office section and 6 double length drive -through bays. One
of these is used for fleet maintenance. The second is the Parks Operations Centre. It
has a two storey office section and 7 double length bays. Only two have drive -through
capability. Three bays are used by Parks and four are used by DPW.
The third building is for sand/ salt storage and the fourth is a green house.
Other City owned properties:
- Aurora owns an undeveloped 90 acre site on Leslie Street. It is used for
some Parks materials storage. There are no buildings on site. It is not
available for future Town use.
- A small property on Machell Avenue has a Quonset building that Parks
use for some out -of -season equipment storage. This site is in a residential
area.
Comments:
- There are no unheated open front storage sheds. This would reduce the
need for fully enclosed heated storage.
2.2 Aurora Organization (see Figures 1 and 2)
Municipal services are provided through six Departments. Fleet Services are the
responsibility of Public Works. It is intended that Fleet provide vehicle and equipment
services to all Departments, although the major users are Leisure Services and Public
Works. Fleet requires support from Corporate Services (human resources, legal, risk
management), and Treasury (purchasing, payroll, accounting, budget, information
technology)

Fleet Services are the responsibility of Wayne Jackson, Director of Public Works
through Peter Horvath, Manager of Operations and Brad Schonauer,
Roads/Traffic/Fleet Supervisor who directly supervises the two fleet mechanics and
two DPW Crew Leaders.
Comments:
- The fleet is small (200 pieces) with two mechanics. The two major users
(Parks and DPW) and the fleet function are located at the Scanlon Could
site. It is appropriate and practical that Fleet Services be the direct
responsibility of a DPW Supervisor.

The 2005 fleet operating budget is $526,392 (gross), with recoveries of $485,548
(internal equipment rentals) and $31,559 (vehicle supplies/fuel) for a net fleet
expense of $9,285. The allocation to the vehicle replacement reserve is $175,000.
The 2004 fleet actual operating expense for DPW plus Parks was $1,007,917
(gross) with recoveries of $709,741 (internal vehicle rental) and $46,292 (vehicle
supplies/fuel) for a net fleet expense of $298,176. See Figure 3.
The 2005 fleet replacement budget is $602,000 ($350,000 for DPW, $252,000 for
Leisure Services). Aurora maintains an equipment replacement reserve system for
fleet replacements.

2.4 Fleet Planning
The current fleet replacement criteria are summarized as follows:
• Dump Truck- 15 years
• Sweeper/Flusher/Loader - 12 years
IDM Consultants 12
-20-
Town of Aurora— Final Report
Fleet Management Study
October 2005
• Pick-up/Van/1 Ton Truck- 10 years
The capital budget contains a 4 year projection beyond the current year. Individual
pieces of equipment with an estimated replacement cost are listed in the anticipated
replacement year. There is a 10 year fleet replacement program that has not been
up -dated since 2000. A 20 year replacement plan for PW Operations was prepared
in 1998 and has not been up -dated.
Comment:
- The replacement criteria are reasonable when considering the relatively low usage
because of Aurora's compact area and the absence of data to support different
criteria.
2.6 Equipment Costing and Equipment Rates
The 2004 accounting records show actual expenses as listed in the left side of
Figure 4 below. A summary of the equipment cost record for 2004 shows the costs
that have been assigned to equipment. Only $127,000 out of $325,000 in direct
expenses has been assigned to specific equipment units.

Town of Aurora — Final Report
Fleet Management Study
October 2005
DPW is currently using standard Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO)
equipment rates for activity based costing records and for charges to the Internal
Equipment Rental account. This is done simultaneously through payroll records
Leisure Services has not adopted this system. The $331,116 recovery in the flee
Comments:
- Labour hours are not recorded on the Garage Repair Orders. Starting in 2005 the
mechanics labour hours and direct purchase parts are being segregated under two
categories — DPW equipment and Leisure Services equipment. These are photo
copy folders in the DPW office and are not entered into the accounting system.
- The mechanics are currently recording the cost of some parts and materials on
the Garage Repair Order for local information only. This is not entered into the
accounting system.
- The Equipment Cost Record is a labour intensive manually assembled,
incomplete (no labour costs) document.
- The use of MTO rates is reasonable in absence of fleet cost data to develop
Aurora specific rates.
2.6 Preventive Maintenance
The fleet preventive maintenance plan has the following elements.
• Drivers Vehicle Inspection Report — This is a daily/trip CVOR mandated
inspection for equipment that is considered to be a `commercial vehicle".
• Scheduled Service — Lube/Oil/Filter service is scheduled at 100 hours or 200
hours or 5,000 kilometers as applicable. Vehicles have a windshield sticker
indicating the next inspection. It is up to the operator to arrange a time for
service. The mechanics check the hours on other equipment whenever they
happen to see it, to determine if it is due for inspection.
• Daily requirements such as oil/fluids checking, lubrication, air -filter cleaning, belt
tension, etc. is performed by the operator. Parks schedule three people to start
early (4 am in summer season) to prepare the equipment and materials for the
crews.
Comments:
- The basic elements of a fleet preventative maintenance are in place but the lack of a
fleet management system and the lack of a dependable fuel management system
(see 4.7) make the control and scheduling inefficient and problematic.
- In the interim a manual display board system could be adopted for scheduling.

2.7 Fuel Control System
The fuel control system is circa 1990 vintage Gas Boy equipment. The software is past
being supported by Gas Boy and the old PC can not be supported by MIS. The system
had the capability of doing more for fleet but it is currently in the "it is working now —
don't touch it — if it fails it may not be able to be fixed again" mode.
Comments:
- An adequate fuel control system has the capability of providing vehicle/equipment data
to the fleet management system;
o usage by kilometers or hours
o fuel consumption and costs
- The fuel system consists of a 10,000 gallon diesel tank and dispenser and a 5,000
gallon gasoline tank and dispenser. Aurora does not store road tax exempt fuel.
2.8 Parts Inventory
The fleet parts inventory is a minimal supply of filters, fluids, lubricants, etc. Most parts
are readily available in the GTA.
Comments:
- The fleet inventory strategy is appropriate for fleet size, type, equipment mix and
geographical location.

2.9 Fleet Customers
The majority of Aurora vehicles and equipment are used by Public Works or Leisure
Services and these are part of the DPW Fleet. DPW is not responsible for Fire
Department or Corporate Services vehicles, but these units are fueled through the DPW

Comments:
- In some cases functions have changed prior to the equipment being due for
replacement.
- A flusher/vactor unit would be more useful than the sewer flusher unit and could be
used to excavate valve boxes instead of a backhoe.
- The motor grader appears to have extremely low use, but may be necessary for
emergency situations.
- There are eight plow/spreader trucks used on four of the eight plow routes. Four are
contracted. The extra four trucks were maintained for spares and to cover all eight
routes during the fringe of 2 weeks prior to and 2 weeks after the contract. If this four
week period was added to the contract, the 4 spare trucks could be reduced to two.
- The two Ransom 950D mowing machines are not the best equipment for rough terrain
grass cutting.
2.11 Fleet Inspection
A major cross section of the fleet was inspected by a licensed mechanic experienced in
public works and parks equipment maintenance. Forty nine units (29 PW, 20 Parks)
were inspected. An additional 71 units were looked at. The ratings were as follows:

Notes: Ratings —Good (little or no action required), Fair (Delay replacement and repair), Bad (Replace)
The fleet is well maintained and generally the units with fair ratings are older. Some
sample evaluation sheets are attached in Appendix B.
2.12 Equipment Specifications
Equipment specifications are currently not being coordinated through any one person in
Fleet or Fleet in general. The specifications contain the three necessary sections;
Information to Bidders, Form of Agreement and Specifications but Parks and PW use
different formats for the Information to Bidders/Tenderers and Specifications.
Comments:
- Two different Tenders were issued in May 2005 for vans.
IDM Consultants 17
—25—
Town of Aurora — Final Report
Fleet Management Study
October 2006
- The Information to Bidders and Form of Agreement (with minor differences) should be
the same for all equipment tenders. The Specifications should use the same format.
2.13 Facility and Shop Equipment
The maintenance garage consists of a double length drive -through bay on the end of
the PW operations building which provides the mechanics with two work bays. These
bays are too narrow to efficiently service and repair plow trucks. The bay has one in -
ground 2-post hoist.
The building does not have a dedicated equipped vehicle cleaning bay. Vehicles are
cleaned in the centre of the PW storage garage.
Comments:
- One enclosed bay should be, properly equipped for pressure cleaning vehicles and
equipment.
- One bay should be 24 feet wide with a 20 feet wide door, to be able to repair and
service equipped plow/spreader trucks.
2.14 Equipment Disposal
Disposal is through major auctions to group with others for optimum attraction and
timing. Auctions are chosen based on reputation and specialty. Vehicles that can not be
certified are sold to the highest bidder through a news paper advertisement.
Comment.
- Equipment disposal through specific auctions is a current best practice.

3.1 Staff Interview Questions
Interviews were conducted with Fleet customers, with staff who provide services to
Fleet and Fleet staff.
The basis of the interview was four pairs of questions.
1) A — Briefly describe your function.
B — Briefly describe Fleets function.
2) A — What do you expect from Fleet?
B — To what degree are your expectations met on a scale of 1 to 10?
3) A — What do you provide to/for Fleet?
B — How well do you do that on a scale of 1 to 10?
4) A — What does Fleet need to do to perform the role better?
B — What can you do to help Fleet?
3.2 Overview of Interviews
Generally each person's answer to 1 B, 2A, 3A, and 4A was appropriate for their position
and responsibility in the organization. Each person interviewed felt that Fleet had
considerable room for improvement. Each person, with one exception, felt that there
was more they could do to help fleet (Question-413). There were no "not my problem
answers". The answers (in no particular order) to 2B and 3B respectively were as
follows in Figure 8;

4.1 Fleet Replacement Schedule
A 15 year vehicle/equipment replacement schedule is attached in Appendix C. It is an
active Excel spread sheet and can be used to determine the replacement profile when
criteria are changed. The schedule is developed using the following equipment useful
life criteria in years.
• Pick-up TruckNans/1 Ton Truck ...................10
• Loader/Tractor/Sweeper/Flusher ...................12
• Dump Truck/Large Mower/Trailer ..................15
• Other equipment......................................5 to 35 as applicable
The above criteria are guidelines that are commonly used for municipal equipment and
are then adjusted based on local life cycle costs. Aurora currently does not have the
systems or the data to conduct an efficient, effective, accurate equipment life cycle cost
analysis.
Recommendations:
1T .... Immediate Term
MT ... Mid Term
LT ... Long Tenn
4.1.1[IT] to prepare for the annual capital budget, perform an equipment evaluation on
all equipment that is overdue or within 3 years of scheduled replacement. A sample
evaluation form is attached in Appendix D. Use the evaluations to adjust the individual
units in the master Fleet Replacement Schedule (FRS) (Excel spread sheet) and to
prepare the capital equipment budget.
4.1.2[M7] Develop Aurora specific useful life criteria and adopt a more detailed and
informative equipment evaluation form. A sample is attached in Appendix E.
4.1.3[LT Goan When a fleet management costing system is in place, use the data to
develop life cycle cost criteria for equipment replacement decisions.
4.2 Fleet Replacement Budget
The following bar graph, Figure 9, illustrates the annual cost of equipment due for
replacement each year. The first bar is equipment overdue for replacement. The second
IDM Consultants 20
—28—
Town of Aurora — Final Report
Fleet Management Study
October 2005
bar is 2005 and so on. All costs are in 2005 dollars. The average annual cost over the
16 year cycle shown is $434,000 (net of salvage but not fund interest).
At this point it is pertinent to explain the philosophy of an equipment replacement
reserve.
The purpose of a reserve is to eliminate the erratic cyclical cost of replacing
equipment. This profile has variations from $788,000 in 2005 to $103,000 in
2010 (gross replacement costs). Without a reserve these would directly impact
the mill rate and the tendency would be to postpone some replacements, which
will add to the overdue column and make the fleet situation worse. By
contributing the average requirement to a reserve each year the mill rate
expenditure is flat lined and equipment can be replaced when necessary. The
objective of fleet management is to legitimately lower the average required
reserve contribution through life cycle cost analysis, good maintenance,
appropriate equipment selection, and the user groups having the quantity of
equipment needed as opposed to desired.

Recommendations
4.2.1 [IT] Adjust the Fleet Replacement Profile (FRP) by reconciling the Fleet
Replacement Schedule (from 4.1) with the current actual fleet condition and needs to
establish a baseline FRP and average annual cost for 2006. Analyze the "Overdue"
equipment and adjust the "life" or remove the reserve contribution if there is no intention
to replace it. If a capital refurbishment is planned (eg. Grader) reset the reserve
contribution and life accordingly.
4.2.2 [IT] Review and adjust the 2005 replacement cost estimates used in the FRS to
make them as representative as is practical of the equipment format and attachments
required in Aurora for 2006. Continue to use the simplified system of up -dating the
replacement costs to the current budget year.
4.2.3 [MT] in 2006, develop a formula for calculating reserve contributions that includes
salvage and fund interest.
4.2.4 [LT Goal] when accurate complete fleet cost and use data are available, develop
a reserve contribution formula that considers inflation, salvage, interest and use factors.
4.3 Fleet Operating Budget
The current budget line item descriptions are not always representative of the type of
costs incurred. Vehicle supplies include fuel.
Recommendation
4.3.1 [IT] Revise the budget line items for 2006 as indicated in Figure 10, to enable
reconciliation and management control.

through activity based costing via the employee time cards. Equipment used is listed on
the time card and Payroll/Accounting using MTO standard rates debit DPW and credit
Fleet (account 4-2300).
Parks/Leisure is not participating in the activity based costing system and no recoveries
are occurring. The activity based costing system may not be applicable to Parks/Leisure
IDM Consultants 23
—31—
Town of Aurora — Final Report October 2005
Fleet Management Study
in the near future. The recommendations in this report allow P/L fleet recovery to be
through invoice type transfer or through the activity based costing system or some of
each as applicable to the equipment concerned.
Recommendations
4.4.1 [IT] Continue using the activity based costing system and MTO standard rates to
recover fleet costs from Roads/TrafficM/ater/Sewer for 2006 and 2006.
4.4.2 [IT] Obtain a monthly "Equipment Use Report" from Accounting. This report does
not exist but the data is in the system and can be accessed. The suggested report
format is as follows;

4.4.3 [MT] Develop a report for hours only, with 12 columns for a rolling 12-month
display and a last 12 month column. This report would enable Fleet and Operations to
see seasonal use patterns for planning purposes. It could also be a tool for the
equipment users to plan work and reconcile equipment needs.

IDM Consultants 24
-32-
Town of Aurora — Final Report
Fleet Management Study
October 2005
4.4.4 [IT] Develop the procedures to cost recover from Parks/Leisure for 2006 as
follows;
• Adopt a Mechanic's time sheet that lists each vehicle worked on with the
corresponding hours. Maintain a mechanic Shop Rate that includes the basic
mechanic overheads — vacation, statutory holidays, other paid absences,
allowances, etc.. (This will be developed else where in this report.)
• Mechanics to list all in-house parts (but not direct purchase parts) and price on
the Work Order.
• Mechanics to code all direct -purchase parts packing slips and out -sourced repair
invoices to the equipment number.
• Calculate the annual fixed costs — license, insurance and reserve contribution -
associated with Parks/Leisure equipment and divide by 12. The monthly cost
could change slightly as vehicles are added to and removed from the fleet.
• Fuel is currently itemized and totaled through the GasBoy system.
• Develop a system of Excel spread sheet files to record Mechanic Hours, In-
house parts, Direct -purchase parts and Out -sourced repair for Parks/Leisure
equipment on a daily basis.
At month end summarize the cost totals for hours (at the shop rate), parts, out -sourced
repairs and fuel and forward to Accounting to debit Parks/Leisure and credit the Fleet
Internal Equipment Recovery account. Note: This is intended to be a monthly summary
of the five cost components discussed above, not itemized per vehicle/equipment.
The majority of the above actions are currently being carried out to some degree. They
are not being recorded in an organized manner to allow effective use.
4.4.5 [LT Goal] Develop Fleet Management System reports that will include the
requirements of 4.4.4 above plus be itemized by unit.
4.4.6 [IT] that an allowance of $310,000 for Internal Equipment Recovery is carried in
the Parks/Leisure 2006 budget. This figure is an order of magnitude number and will be
refined when the available information from 2005 is analyzed. The components are;
• Reserve contribution ........ $161,000
• Labour ...........................$ 30,000
• Fuel .............................. $ 35,000
• Parts/Supplies/Repairs ..... $ 84,000
Allowances are made in the reserve contribution for salvage and fund interest.
4.6 Fuel Control System
The current fuel control system is unable to provide more than basic recording of
monthly fuel consumption per unit. The software is beyond support and the computer is
old and inadequate. An effective fuel control system, in addition to recording fuel
IDM Consultants 25
—33—
Town of Aurora — Final Report
Fleet Management Study
October 2005
dispensed, would provide the capability to produce a series of daily, weekly, monthly
and annual reports that could be used for;
• Fuel reconciliation
• Cost recovery
• Fuel access control
• Unit consumption and consumption rate
• Unit hours and Kilometers collection
• Transfer of unit use and fuel data to the MMS
Recommendation
4.6.1 [IT] Budget to replace the fuel management system during 2006.
4.5.2 [IT] Develop a month end report that reconciles Fuel delivered with Fuel pumped
(dispenser total meter) with Fuel put into vehicles/equipment
4.6 Preventative Maintenance
Preventative Maintenance (PM) begins with the daily inspection/service, formal as in the
CVOR requirements or casual as employees check fluid levels, belts, etc. to prepare for
the daily work tasks. The work request (defect sheet), the scheduled service/inspection
and the Ontario mandated annual CVOR safety inspections complete the system. The
scheduled cycles which should be tailored to local conditions (except the CVOR
requirements), are less important than ensuring that the schedule is met and work
request are attended to in a timely manner.
The current system is primarily reactive with a major reliance on the user to bring the
unit to the garage when scheduled and on the mechanics to remember if it was not. The
PM system needs to be more proactive by Fleet.
Recommendations
4.6.1 [IT] Install a visual manual PM scheduling board prominently in the garage,
maintain it daily and contact the user when a vehicle is over due for service.
4.6.2 [IT] Assign a member of the Fleet staff to read and record the kilometre and hour

4.6.4 [LT Goal] to have exception reports in the FMS that will issue automatically as
required to alert fleet management of variances.
4.7 Parts Management
Public Works fleets are comprised of a wide variety of equipment types, makes, models,
and ages. "One of everything and two of very few." This makes predictability extremely
difficult. It is not cost effective to stock the majority of parts that may be needed.
Fleet policy is to have a minimal supply of often used items such as filters, wipers, oils,
belts, etc. in inventory and rely on the availability of most parts being stocked in the
GTA. The inventory is charged to a fleet account when purchased. Items used from
stock are recorded for information, not accounting. The volume does not justify a stock
keeper.
Recommendations
4.7.1 [IT] Continue to operate the fleet in-house parts room on a pre charged basis. Use
a dedicated account, as recommended in the Fleet Operating Budget section to enable
reconciliation and potential management.
4.7.2 [LT Goal] When the Inventory Module of the FMS is available the in-house parts
account could be used as a holding account. The mechanics could withdraw stock via a
terminal in the parts room. This would simultaneously credit the holding account, debit
vehicle parts and charge the cost to the vehicle in FMS. It is anticipated that the fleet will
be too small to justify a stock keeper for the foreseeable future. An Ontario municipality
with a 450 unit fleet uses a similar system.
4.8 Out —Sourcing Repairs
The major responsibilities of the fleet mechanics are to provide PM, day-to-day
service/support, short time repairs and response to users. In a small fleet it is not cost
effective to provide the training, tools, and diagnostic equipment to perform specialty
repairs such as engine/ transmission rebuild, body repair/paint, tire repair, radiator
repair, and component rebuild (alternators, starters, blowers, etc.).
Recommendation
4.8.1 [IT] Continue out -sourcing for specialty repairs and peak volume.
4.9 Acquisitions and Specifications
Specifications for vehicle/equipment tenders are prepared by the user group and
forwarded to a Purchasing Coordinator. Purchasing has provided standard easy to use
IDM Consultants 27
—35—
Town of Aurora — Final Report
Fleet Management Study
October 2005
templates. A small fleet does not have the resources to dedicate a person (even
partially) to preparing specifications for all users, but the Fleet Manager needs to
exercise a coordinating role to ensure feedback, compatibility between maintenance
and operator, compliance with purchasing deadlines (eg. manufacturers build -out),
duplicate tenders and fleet consistency.
Recommendations
4.9.1 [IT] The Fleet Manager will sign -off on all vehicle and equipment specifications,
both tender and quotation, and forward them to Purchasing.
• The Fleet Manager is to be responsible for the preparation of all specifications
and tenders for vehicles up to and including 2 Ton trucks.
• The user group will prepare the specifications for specialty vehicles such as
aerialfflusher/garbage/sign trucks.
• The user group will prepare the specifications for user group specific equipment.
Eg. Sweeper, mower, tractor, trailer, roller, chipper, small equipment, etc.
4.9.2 [LT Goal] When the FMS can provide effective information; the Fleet Manager will
provide fleet data for the user groups to consider in planning for equipment.
4.10 Facilities — Garage and Fuel Storage
The fleet garage is housed in a double length drive -through bay with one hoist on the
end of the DPW building. The bay is too narrow to effectively accommodate an
equipped plow truck. A second hoist is planned in an adjacent area. The facility does
not have a dedicated vehicle wash bay.
Public works fleets generally have a variety of types/models/makes of equipment. This
makes it inefficient to stock parts and maintenance generally follows a "diagnose -order
parts -repair" process. This means that at least two work bays per mechanic are required
to allow the mechanic to be working on another vehicle while waiting for parts.
Generally the fleet does not accumulate high hours or kilometres due to the compact
geography of the municipality, but corrosion is a significant factor in equipment life. A
stringent wash program during winter operations and an appropriately equipped wash
bay is a necessity.
The current fuel storage system was installed in 1991. There are two fiberglass tanks, a
10,000 gallon diesel and a 5,000 gallon gasoline. The two dispensers were installed in
1975. There is no facility for road tax free fuel.
Recommendation
4.10.1 [MT] Construct an addition to the end of the building to provide four repair bays
and a wash bay. A suggested solution is attached as Appendix F.
4.10.2 [MT] Investigate and prepare a business plan for DPW fuel storage and control
systems that will consider;

• Remaining life of the underground tanks
• Liability of an in-house system
• Remaining life of the dispensers
• Necessity to replace the fuel management system ( see section 4.5)
• Cost benefit of in-house vs out -sourcing to local service stations
4.10.3 [IT] Analyze the potential cost benefit of reclaiming or avoiding the road tax on
fuel used in off -road applications.
4.11 Work Control
Vehicle/equipment maintenance must be recorded and be traceable from PM Schedule,
Driver's Vehicle Inspection Report or Defect Sheet (work request) through to
completion. This is especially important for vehicles that are subject to the Ontario
CVOR requirements. The mechanics "work order" and the corresponding documents
(daily inspection sheet, defect sheet, safety inspection sheet, etc) are to be cross
referenced and filed.
Recommendations
4.11.1 [IT] that a combination time sheet/work control sheet be developed for the
mechanics that will record the information needed by payroll/accounting/DPW
administration and be a traceable record of service and repairs.
4.11.2 [IT] that a two digit system of repair codes be adopted for use beginning in 2006.

Section 5 — Fleet StrateRv
It is not the Fleet Manager's function to tell the operating managers what or how much
equipment they need, but to provide them with effective efficient service and provide
accurate data for them to use in making sound business decisions. Fleet functions are
Administration, Planning, Maintenance and Control of materials/fuel/equipment which
include the following activities;
• Acquisition and Disposal
• Preventative Maintenance
• Service and Repair
• Modifications
• Fuel storage and control
• Parts ordering and control
• Accounting Input
• Cost Recovery
• Cost management
• Analysis
• Maintain a fleet information system
• Develop fleet policy and standards
5.1 Fleet Management System
A fleet management system is central to fleet management. Fleet currently does not
have a system, manual or computerized. There is no use or cost data available, with the
exception of fuel consumption.
6.1.1 [IT] Initiate the various recommendations made elsewhere in this report to acquire
the limited available fleet data in the interim to acquiring a FMS.
5.1.2 [MT] Consider obtaining a stand alone "canned" fleet management system to use
while the planned integrated system is developed and installed. These systems can be
obtained for as little as $10,000 plus hardware and staff time.
Logic — It will take a minimum of two years from scheduled start to obtain any
meaningful data, which puts fleet data 3 to 5 years away. If a canned system was used
from the start of 2006, Fleet will have 3 to 5 years of data and experience at switch -over
to the integrated system. If they wait they will have no data.
6.1.3 [LT Goal] Install a complete, corporately integrated, computerized Fleet
Management System.

October 2005
5.2 Service Level and Priority
Fleet primarily provides service to public works operations and parks operations. These
two groups require the same general type of service but have different equipment and
different high demand seasons. In winter the fleet service must be tailored to Roads
winter control operations. In summer it must be tailored to Parks summer programs and
grass cutting operations.
In the winter season the mechanics are scheduled to regular day shifts and respond to
Roads needs with overtime if necessary. In the summer season Parks schedule field
maintenance from 6 am to 2:30 pm. The mechanics are scheduled to regular day shifts
(7:30 am to 4 pm) which make them unavailable to service equipment before it goes
into service and leaves them little time to do any work at the end of the shift.
5.2.1 [IT] Provide increased maintenance mechanic coverage during the
afternoon/evening period of the Park's Operations summer maintenance peak, to
prepare equipment for the next day. This could be accomplished by staggered hours,
overtime or a temporary seasonal employee.
5.2.2 [IT] Plan formal seasonal maintenance programs for Parks/Leisure equipment in
February/March/April and for Roads equipment in August/September/October. The
planning portion is to involve the Parks' or Roads' staff as applicable, which are to be
consulted before carrying out major unforeseen repair expenditures.
5.3 Fleet Organization
A PW fleet of 200 units does not require a dedicated fleet manager. All of the
management staff associated with fleet has multiple responsibilities. The first and only
dedicated level is the two mechanics. The Manager of Operations Services is the "Fleet
Manager" and the Roads/Traffic Supervisor is the "Fleet Supervisor".
Two mechanics for this fleet and community is reasonable.
The fleet clerical resources are low to non -existing. Fleet management can not occur
without data and data will not exist without clerical effort. Clerical resources are
especially necessary in this situation where the responsible staff have numerous other
responsibilities. Fleet mechanics are required to accurately record what they do but any
additional clerical duty is not an effective use of a trained mechanic at $30 per hour
(wage and benefits). A 200 unit fleet requires ''/z FTE of clerical services.
Recommendations
5.3.1 [IT] the establishment of a working Lead Hand mechanic would provide
organizational consistency (with the three Lead Hands currently reporting to the
Supervisor), responsibility/effectiveness/customer focus, and keep the Supervisor in a
supervisory role instead of hands-on.
IDM Consultants

Town of Aurora — Final Report October 2005

6.3.2 [MT] Establish a''Y2 FTE (clerk) for Fleet.
5.4 Fleet Advisory Committee
Fleet has two main customers, with similar size fleets. A mechanism for ensuring
ongoing balance of service, quality of service and response to change is necessary.
Recommendation
5.4.1 [IT] Establish a Fleet Advisory Committee chaired by the Director of Public Works
with two members each from PW and Leisure Services, and one member from Fleet.
Representatives from Corporate Services, Treasury, etc. would be invited by the
Chairman as appropriate. This committee should meet quarterly and review planning
level items such as;
• Proposed replacement program
• Seasonal maintenance programs
• Vehicle standards
• Strategies for cost control
• Criteria/Strategies for rent or lease vs own
• Vehicle use policy
5.5 Lease/Rent Vehicles/Equipment
Leasing or renting is a business case decision for short term situations or cost
effectiveness.
Recommendation
5.5.1 [IT] the business case for all vehicle/equipment leasing or renting is to be
approved by the director responsible for fleet, the Director of Public Works.
5.5.2 [LT Goal] Track lease/rent units in the FMS for cost comparison.
5.6 Fleet Policy and Procedures
A complete range of fleet policies and procedures has not been developed. These are
necessary to ensure that all employees know the expectations of the Town of Aurora as
they relate to vehicles and equipment. A fleet policy manual would contain policy on,
eligibility to operate a Town vehicle, insurance requirements, safety and accident
procedures, short term rental policy, disposal, maintenance standards, operator's
service requirements, personal use, traffic violations, replacement criteria, etc
6.6.1 [MT] that a Fleet Policy Manual be developed.

5.7 Shop Rate
The shop rate is used for recovery done on a time and material basis. In this situation
PW rents equipment at an hourly rate through the activity based costing system that
includes labour, parts, materials and overheads. Parks does not rent equipment by the
hour and must be charged on a time and material basis.
A mechanic is paid for 2080 hours per.year but is actually available for work fewer hours
due to vacation, holidays, sick leave, training, etc. The shop (break even) rate is
estimated as follows;
Total cost per year ...... Wage (ave.) - $23.41x 2080 = $48,693
Benefits at25% 12,173
$60,866
Hours paid .......................................... 2080
Less — Vacation (ave.) .... 21
Holidays ............ 9
Sick .................. 5
Training .............. 3
Other Indirect paid. ?
38 days x 8 ...... 304
Hours available .................................... 1776
Paid rest period ... 1/2 hour x (260-38=222) = 111
Available wrench time ............................ 1665
Shop Rate .............. $60,866/1665 = $36.56 Say $37.00 per hour
This is the theoretical rate and will need to be recalculated using actual sick leave,
training and other paid indirect time plus adding allowances for coveralls, tools, etc.
5.8 Cash Flow
A cash flow analysis was prepared (Sheet 2 in Appendix C) to ensure that the
replacement fund is sustainable for the current equipment replacement schedule. Figure
13 indicates that the fund will maintain a healthy positive balance with an annual
reserve contribution of $401,000. This amount has allowances for salvage and fund
interest.
However this ignores the $639,000 worth of overdue equipment. Figure 14 is one
scenario for catch-up over the 5-year period 2006-2010. Here an increased reserve
contribution of $425,000 is required over the 5-year catch-up period.
The Excel sheet can be used to try various cash flow scenarios.

Fleet Replacement Schedule
4.1.1 [17] to prepare for the annual capital budget, perform an equipment evaluation on
all equipment that is overdue or within 3 years of scheduled replacement. A sample
evaluation form is attached in Appendix D. Use the evaluations to adjust the individual
units in the master Fleet Replacement Schedule (FRS) (The Excel spread sheet) and to
prepare the capital equipment budget.
4.1.2[MT] Develop Aurora specific useful life criteria and adopt a more detailed and
informative equipment evaluation form. A sample is attached in Appendix E.
4.1.3[LT Goal] When a fleet management costing system is in place, use the data to
develop life cycle cost criteria for equipment replacement decisions.
Fleet Replacement Budget
4.2.1 [IT] Adjust the Fleet Replacement Profile (FRP) by reconciling the Fleet
Replacement Schedule (from 4.1) with the current actual fleet condition and needs to
establish a baseline FRP and average annual cost for 2006. Analyze the "Overdue"
equipment and adjust the "life" or remove the reserve contribution if there is no intention
to replace it. If a capital refurbishment is planned (eg. Grader) reset the reserve
contribution and life accordingly.
4.2.2 [IT] Review and adjust the 2005 replacement cost estimates used in the FRS to
make them as representative as is practical of the equipment format and attachments
required in Aurora for 2006. Continue to use the simplified system of up -dating the
replacement costs to the current budget year.
4.2.3 [MT] in 2006, develop a formula for calculating reserve contributions that includes
salvage and fund interest.
4.2.4 [LT Goal] when accurate complete fleet cost and use data are available, develop
a reserve contribution formula that considers inflation, salvage, interest and use factors.
Fleet Operatina Budget
4.3.1 [IT] Revise the budget line items for 2006 as indicated in Figure 7, to enable
reconciliation and management control.

4.4.4 [IT] Develop the procedures to cost recover from Parks/Leisure for 2006 as
follows;.
• Adopt a Mechanic's time sheet that lists each vehicle worked on with the
corresponding hours. Maintain a mechanic Shop Rate that includes the basic
mechanic overheads — vacation, statutory holidays, other paid absences,
allowances, etc. (This will be developed else where in this report.)
• Mechanics to list all in-house parts (but not direct purchase parts) and price on
the Work Order.
IDM Consultants 37
—45—
Town of Aurora — Final Report
Fleet Management Study
October 2005
• Mechanics to code all direct -purchase parts packing slips and out -sourced repair
invoices to the equipment number.
• Calculate the annual fixed costs — license, insurance and reserve contribution -
associated with Parks/Leisure equipment and divide by 12. The monthly cost
could change slightly as vehicles are added to and removed from the fleet.
• Fuel is currently itemized and totaled through the GasBoy system.
• Develop a system of Excel spread sheet files to record Mechanic Hours, In-
house parts, Direct -purchase parts and Out -sourced repair for Parks/Leisure
equipment on a daily basis.
At month end summarize the cost totals for hours (at the shop rate), parts, out -sourced
repairs and fuel and forward to Accounting to debit Parks/Leisure and credit the Fleet
Internal Equipment Recovery account. Note: This is intended to be a monthly summary
of the five cost components discussed above, not itemized per vehicle/equipment.
The majority of the above actions are currently being carried out to some degree. They
are not being recorded in an organized manner to allow effective use.
4.4.5 [LT Goal] Develop Fleet Management System (FMS) reports that will include the
requirements of 4.4.4 above plus be itemized by unit.
4.4.6 [IT] that an allowance of $310,000 for Internal Equipment Recovery is carried in
the Parks/Leisure 2006 budget. This figure is an order of magnitude number and will be
refined when the available information from 2005 is analyzed. The components are;
• Reserve contribution ........ $161,000
• Labour ...........................$ 30,000
• Fuel .............................. $ 35,000
• Parts/Supplies/Repairs ..... $ 84,000
Allowances are made in the reserve contribution for salvage and fund interest.
Fuel Management
4.5.1 [IT] Budget to replace the fuel management system during 2006.
4.5.2 [IT] Develop a month end report that reconciles Fuel delivered with Fuel pumped
(dispenser total meter) with Fuel put into vehicles/equipment
Preventative Maintenance
4.6.1 [IT] Install a visual manual PM scheduling board prominently in the garage,
maintain it daily and contact the user when a vehicle is over due for service.
4.6.2 [IT] Assign a member of the Fleet staff to read and record the kilometre and hour
meters on all applicable vehicles/equipment quarterly, at least. This can be used to
check the usage based PM schedule for over due units.

make them as representative as is practical of the equipment format and attachments
required in Aurora for 2006. Continue to use the simplified system of up -dating the
replacement costs to the current budget year.
- 4.3.1 [IT] Revise the budget line items for 2006 as indicated in Figure 7, to enable
reconciliation and management control.

4.4.4 [IT] Develop the procedures to cost recover from Parks/Leisure for 2006 as
follows;
• Adopt a Mechanic's time sheet that lists each vehicle worked on with the
corresponding hours. Maintain a mechanic Shop Rate that includes the basic
mechanic overheads — vacation, statutory holidays, other paid absences,
allowances, etc. (This will be developed else where in this report.)
• Mechanics to list all in-house parts (but not direct purchase parts) and price on
the Work Order.
• Mechanics to code all direct -purchase parts packing slips and out -sourced repair
invoices to the equipment number.
• Calculate the annual fixed costs — license, insurance and reserve contribution -
associated with Parks/Leisure equipment and divide by 12. The monthly cost
could change slightly as vehicles are added to and removed from the fleet.
• Fuel is currently itemized and totaled through the GasBoy system.
• Develop a system of Excel spread sheet files to record Mechanic Hours, In-
house parts, Direct -purchase parts and Out -sourced repair for Parks/Leisure
equipment on a daily basis.
At month end summarize the cost totals for hours (at the shop rate), parts, out -sourced
repairs and fuel and forward to Accounting to debit Parks/Leisure and credit the Fleet
Internal Equipment Recovery account. Note: This is intended to be a monthly summary
of the five cost components discussed above, not itemized per vehicle/equipment.
The majority of the above actions are currently being carried out to some degree. They
are not being recorded in an organized manner to allow effective use.
4.4.6 [IT] that an allowance of $310,000 for Internal Equipment Recovery is carried in
the Parks/Leisure 2006 budget. This figure is an order of magnitude number and will be
refined when the available information from 2005 is analyzed. The components are;

• Reserve contribution ........ $161,000
• Labour ...........................$ 30,000
• Fuel .............................. $ 35,000
• Parts/Supplies/Repairs ..... $ 84,000
Allowances are made in the reserve contribution for salvage and fund interest.
4.5.1 [IT] Budget to replace the fuel management system during 2006,
4.5.2 [IT] Develop a month end report that reconciles Fuel delivered with Fuel pumped
(dispenser total meter) with Fuel put into vehicles/equipment
4.6.1 [IT] Install a visual manual PM scheduling board prominently in the garage,
maintain it daily and contact the user when a vehicle is over due for service.
4.6.2 [IT] Assign a member of the Fleet staff to read and record the kilometre and hour
meters on all applicable vehicles/equipment quarterly, at least. This can be used to
check the usage based PM schedule for over due units.
4.6.3 [IT] Specify durable hour meters on all motorized vehicles/equipment that are
large enough to accommodate the device. Purchase a quantity for stock for units that do
not have a working hour meter and install during a scheduled inspection.
4.7.1 [IT] Continue to operate the fleet in-house parts room on a pre charged basis. Use
a dedicated account, as recommended in the Fleet Operating Budget section to enable
reconciliation and potential management.
4.8.1 [IT] Continue out -sourcing for specialty repairs and peak volume.
4.9.1 [IT] The Fleet Manager will sign -off on all vehicle and equipment specifications,
both tender and quotation, and forward them to Purchasing.
• The Fleet Manager is to be responsible for the preparation of all specifications
and tenders for vehicles up to and including 2 Ton trucks.
• The user group will prepare the specifications for specialty vehicles such as
aerial/flusher/garbage/sign trucks.
• The user group will prepare the specifications for user group specific equipment.
Eg. Sweeper, mower, tractor, trailer, roller, chipper, small equipment, etc.
4.10.3 [IT] Analyze the potential cost benefit of reclaiming or avoiding the road tax on
fuel used in off -road applications.
4.11.1 [IT] that a combination time sheet/work control sheet be developed for the

administration and be a traceable record of service and repairs.
IDM Consultants 45

Town of Aurora — Final Report October 2005
Fleet Management Study
4.11.2 [IT] that a two digit system of repair codes be adopted for use beginning in 2006.
A sample is attached as Appendix G.
6.1.1 [IT] Initiate the various recommendations made elsewhere in this report to acquire
the limited available fleet data in the interim to acquiring a FMS.
5.2.1 [IT] Provide increased maintenance mechanic coverage during the
afternoon/evening period of the Park's Operations summer maintenance peak, to
prepare equipment for the next day. This could be accomplished by staggered hours,
overtime or a temporary seasonal employee.
5.2.2 [IT] Plan formal seasonal maintenance programs for Parks/Leisure equipment in
March/April and for Roads equipment in September/October. The planning portion is to
involve the Parks' or Roads' staff as applicable, which are to be consulted before
carrying out major unforeseen repair expenditures.
6.3.1 [IT] the establishment of a working Lead Hand mechanic would provide
organizational consistency (with the three Lead Hands currently reporting to the
Supervisor), responsibility/effectiveness/customer focus, and keep the Supervisor in a
supervisory role instead of hands-on.
6.4.1 [IT] Establish a Fleet Advisory Committee chaired by the Director of Public Works
with two members each from PW and Leisure Services, and one member from Fleet.
Representatives from Corporate Services, Treasury, etc. would be invited by the
Chairman as appropriate. This committee should meet quarterly and review planning
level items such as;
• Proposed replacement program
• Seasonal maintenance programs
• Vehicle standards
• Strategies for cost control
• Criteria/Strategies for rent or lease vs own
• Vehicle use policy
5.5.1 [IT] the business case for all vehicle/equipment leasing or renting is to be
approved by the director responsible for fleet, the Director of Public Works.
Medium Term
4.1.2[MT] Develop Aurora specific useful life criteria and adopt a more detailed and
informative equipment evaluation form. A sample is attached in Appendix E.
4.2.3 [MT] in 2006, develop a formula for calculating reserve contributions that includes
salvage and fund interest.
IDM Consultants 46
—54—
Town of Aurora — Final Report October 2005
Fleet Management Study
4.4.3 [MT] Develop a report for hours only, with 12 columns for a rolling 12-month
display and a last 12 month column. This report would enable Fleet and Operations to
see seasonal use patterns for planning purposes. It could also be a tool for the
equipment users to plan work and reconcile equipment needs.
Figure 12 — Equipment Annual Use Profile Report
4.10.1 [MT] Construct an addition to the end of the building to provide four repair bays
and a wash bay. A suggested solution is attached as Appendix F.
4.10.2 [MT] Investigate and prepare a business plan for DPW fuel storage and control
systems that will consider;
• Remaining life of the underground tanks
• Liability of an in-house system
• Remaining life of the dispensers
• Necessity to replace the fuel management system ( see section 4.5)
• Cost benefit of in-house vs out -sourcing to local service stations
Note: The current cost of replacing a two tank, two dispenser fuel system (including,
control, dispensing, tanks, environmental safety and removal of old under ground
tanks), is in the $250,000 range.
6.1.2 [MT] CONSIDER obtaining a stand alone "canned" fleet management system to
use while the planned integrated system is developed and installed. These systems can
be obtained for as little as $10,000 plus hardware and staff time.
Logic — It will take a minimum of two years from scheduled start to obtain any
meaningful data, which puts fleet data 3 to 5 years away. If a canned system was used
from the start of 2006, Fleet will have 3 to 5 years of data and experience at switch -over
to the integrated system. If they wait they will have no data.
5.3.2 [MT] Establish a YZ FTE (clerk) for Fleet.
5.6.1 [MT] that a Fleet Policy Manual be developed.
Lona Term Goal
4.1.3[LT Goan When a fleet management costing system is in place, use the data to
develop life cycle cost criteria for equipment replacement decisions.
IDM Consultants 47
—55—
Town of Aurora — Final Report October 2005
Fleet Management Study
4.2.4 [LT Goal] when accurate complete fleet cost and use data are available, develop
a reserve contribution formula that considers inflation, salvage, interest and use factors
4.4.5 [LT Goal] Develop Fleet Management System (FMS) reports that will include the
requirements of 4.4.4 above plus be itemized by unit.
4.6.4 [LT Goal] to have exception reports in the FMS that will issue automatically as
required to alert fleet management of variances.
4.7.2 [LT Goal] When the Inventory Module of the FMS is available the in-house parts
account could be used as a holding account. The mechanics could withdraw stock via a
terminal in the parts room. This would simultaneously credit the holding account, debit
vehicle parts and charge the cost to the vehicle in FMS. It is anticipated that the fleet will
be too small to justify a stock keeper for the foreseeable future. An Ontario municipality
with a 450 unit fleet uses a similar system.
4.9.2 [LT Goal] When the FMS can provide effective information; the Fleet Manager will
provide fleet data for the user groups to consider in planning for equipment.
6.1.3 [LT Goal] Install a complete, corporately integrated, computerized Fleet
Management System.
6.6.2 [LT Goal] Track lease/rent units in the FMS for cost comparison

TOWN OF AURORA APPENDIX
GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. LS06-036
SUBJECT: Asphalt Parking Lot at Factory Theatre
FROM: Allan D. Downey, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: September 5, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Tender LS2006-64 for asphalt resurfacing of Factory Theatre not be awarded
and the Project and Budget be re -considered as part of the 2007 Capital Budget.
BACKGROUND
As an approved Capital Project for 2006 and a condition of the existing Lease between the
Town of Aurora and Theatre Aurora, staff released Tender LS2006-64 for Asphalt Re-
surfacing at Factory Theatre, on June 14th, 2006. Staff and Geo-technical Consultants,
Shaheen and Peaker Ltd. performed a thorough review of the parking area sub -soil
conditions at 150 Henderson Drive — Factory Theatre.
The presence of mixed organic material (i.e. wood, brick, clayey silts, concrete and steel)
at multiple locations and depths along with the presence of soil samples do not meet
Ministry of the Environment Table 2 Standards for disposal at an
industrial/commercial/community fill site which has significantly modified the scope of work
for the Factory Theatre Asphalt Re -surfacing Project.
Additional work is required to remove and dispose of native soils at a registered land fill site
and placement and compaction of granulated material. This projectwas originally assessed
in 2004 without review of sub -soil conditions. This Assessment was the basis for the
approved amount of $30,000 in the 2006 Capital Budget. Tender LS2006-64 closed
August 2006 which included the review of soil conditions and the additional scope of work.
A total of eleven (11) firms attended the mandatory site meeting on Wednesday, June 21,
2006.
A total of six (6) firms submitted bids in response to Tender LS2006-64 and staff have
reviewed the bids for compliance and provide below a summary of qualified bids:
Lincoln Paving & Contracting Ltd. $ 82,748.00
Forest Contractors Ltd. $ 89,895.00
Bevcon Construction & Paving Ltd. $108,000.00
Peltar Paving & General Contracting Co. Ltd. $108,400.00
Royalcrest Paving & Contracting Ltd. $180,000.00
IL Duca Contracting Inc. $311,500.00
i�
September 5 2006 - 2 - Report No. LS06-036
COMMENTS
As a result of the discovery of contaminated soils the project is significantly over budget
and requires substantial additional funding. In addition, the removal of the soils and the
placement of new granular material adds significantly to the length of the project and would
interfere with the proposed schedule of shows at the Theatre. As a result of these
concerns staff recommends that the project be re -considered as part of the 2007 Capital
Budget with sufficient funding identified for the project.
OPTIONS
Council may consider awarding the Tender to the low bidder, Lincoln Paving & Contracting
Ltd. and approve additional funding for the project in the amount of $52,748.00 from the
Municipal Capital Reserve.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Staff will present a Capital Budget item in 2007 for Council consideration in the amount
of $90,000.
CONCLUSIONS
Due to the requirement for additional funding, extended work schedule and disruption to
the Theatre schedule, staff recommends that this project not proceed and that the Tender
not be awarded.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal "A" speaks to maintaining a well -managed and fiscally responsible municipality.

APPENDIX "C" It
COUNCIL REPORT No. LS03-033
SUBJECT: Theatre Aurora Lease Agreement (Factory Theatre)
FROM: Allan D. Downey, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: August 19, 2003
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute an Agreement with Theatre
Aurora for use of Factory Theatre for two (10) year periods.
BACKGROUND
Council at their meeting of July 15, 2003 approved a Lease Agreement with Theatre Aurora
for the use of the Factory Theatre to be structured for two 10 year periods. Council also
recommended that the renovations be completed within the first 10 years, and subject to
fulfilling these conditions, that the Council of the future extend the lease for an additional
ten (10) years.
The Lease with Theatre Aurora for the use of Factory Theatre was extended by Addendum
to the existing Agreement until June 30, 2004. Theatre Aurora had requested a long term
Lease of this property.
A Building Assessment completed by UMA Group in October 2002, identified that the
building was in poor condition with considerable Capital Replacement required immediately
as well as in the long term.
Atthe March 20, 2003 meeting of the Leisure Services Advisory Committee both the issue
of a long term Lease with Theatre Aurora and the requirement to invest in repairs and
retrofit to the building were presented for consideration.
The Committee supported a five year term Lease with Theatre Aurora for exclusive use of
the theatre or a five year term with an optional five year term provided that Theatre Aurora
secure grants or alternate funding to contribute towards the Capital improvement works
within 24 months. Should such grant revenue be secured, the rent for the theatre would
remain nominal and the group would continue to have exclusive use of the premises. This
was approved by Council on April 8, 2003 (copy of recommendation attached).
The direction of Council was that Theatre Aurora be responsible for the Capital costs and
maintenance during the term of either Lease and that staff prepare a report to provide a
costing of the itemized critical repairs for the building to determine the apportionment of
cost between the Town and Theatre Aurora.
/2
August 19, 2003 - 2 - Report No. LS03-033
The proposed apportionment of costs to repair and retrofit Factory Theatre is presented
to Council with this report.
COMMENTS
Staff has continued to meet with Theatre Aurora to discuss the directives of the Leisure
Services Advisory Committee and Council to review the recommended list of repairs and
retrofits for Factory Theatre.
Responding to the options presented for.the Lease, it is the intention of Theatre Aurora to
actively pursue grant and alternate fundraising opportunities and to ultimately assume
responsibility for all of the maintenance of Factory Theatre. Theatre Aurora intends to
raise and invest approximately $156,000 in the next 5 years to contribute towards the
recommended retrofit issues of the Building Assessment.
Theatre Aurora expects that the Town would undertake to complete the recommended
repairs to the building, estimated at $186,250 over the 5 year period and suggests that this
was a Town obligation in the existing Agreement initiated in 1996. In this Agreement the
Tenant is responsible forthe interior maintenance of the theatre "as a careful ownerwould
do", and the Landlord (the Town) is responsible to maintain the exterior of the premises, it's
heating, water and ventilation systems and to maintain the parking lot and grounds.
The proposed apportionment of cost detailed in the letter from Theatre Aurora dated June
26, 2003, reflects the obligations of"the parties underthe existing Agreement. In 2004 the
Town portion of $90,250 is required to complete immediate repairs to the facility and
represents the minimal investment under the current Lease obligations.
Theatre Aurora is prepared to accept their portion of the identified costs and to assume all
subsequent Capital and maintenance costs after the initial repairs are completed. This is a
significant financial commitment and Theatre Aurora believes that such a commitment will
require a longer term of Lease to justify the effort.
Theatre Aurora is aware that a new Arts & Culture Facility is projected in the Culture and
Recreation Master Plan in the Year 2011. Theatre Aurora believes that Factory Theatre
will continue to be required regardless of the new facility.
OPTIONS
If Council does not agree with the proposed apportionment of costs Council may
give direction to staff for the preferred apportionment of cost or Council may
determine to end the Lease with Theatre.Aurora in 2004 and not undertake the repairs and
retrofit to the building.
CONCLUSIONS
Theatre Aurora believes the existing 154 seat theatre is a valued asset in the community
and is prepared to assume full responsibility for the future maintenance and Capital repair.
A long term Lease and repairs to the building will ensure that the building continues to be
available as a community theatre.

In year 6, on completion of the work by the Town, the Theatre will assume full responsibility for
the ongoing maintenance and capital costs associated with the building.
—71—
Theatre Aurora is prepared to accept this large financial commitment to the building in the first
five years, and to then assume, not only the subsequent, capital and maintenance costs, but to
make improvements to the building as funding permits. To justify these efforts, which will
require a serious commitment on the part of the membership, a request is now made for the term
of the lease to be extended to twenty years.
A twenty year lease would give Theatre Aurora the securit), needed to commit to realistic long
range plans. And a further advantage of a twenty year lease would be the ability to extend the
amortization. period of the needed capital costs.
Plans by the Town based on population growth provide for an Arts and Cultural centre to be built
in Aurora in the next eight years. It is expected to contain a theatre with a larger seating capacity
than the Factory Theatre's 154 seats, and would provide a needed addition to the facilities in the
town. Theatre Aurora endorses this project, and recognizes that it could reduce the need for
Factory Theatre as a performance venue for some of Theatre Aurora's productions. Theatre
Aurora would, however, continue to make use of Factory Theatre not only for some productions,
but also for rehearsals, for youth programmes, for.theatre workshops and educational. seminars,
and for rental to other interested groups. As in the past, opportunities would be available to
secondary school students to fulfill cooperative and mandatory ministry directive for community
service. A well maintained Factory Theatre would also be a valuable facility for shows by the
Youth Groups, and for other shows of limited audience appeal. Year round use of the building,
made possible by planned air conditioning, would also allow Theatre Aurora to expand its youth
and other educational programmes.
Theatre Aurora now has a fund raising sub -committee actively pursuing grants from many
sources including Trillium, and is also seeking charitable status in order to be able to give tax
receipts for donations and sponsorships. To increase income from performances, ticket prices
have been increased for the coming season, and other fund raising avenues are being explored.
For forty five years Theatre Aurora and its founding group, the Aurora Drama Workshop, have
entertained in Aurora, and would hope to continue for many more. A lease for twenty years,
would let Theatre Aurora continue to make a valuable contribution to the community.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Theatre Aurora,
Anne Currie -O'Brien

APPENDIX F i i
COUNCIL REPORT LS05.066
SUBJECT: Artificial Sports Field— Sheppard's Bush
FROM: Allan D. Downey, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: December 20, 2005
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Council receive the attached details on the artificial turf field at Sheppard's
Bush as information.
BACKGROUND
Special General Committee of Council at their meeting of December 15, 2005 requested
the following:
General Committee recommends;
THAT a report be prepared for the next meeting, to outline the potential impact of
postponing the installation of the artificial field at Sheppard's Bush for one year, and if
installed, the length of use perseason, who will use it and revenue generation that maybe
achieved.
CARRIED
Staff prepared Report LS05-015 for presentation to the Leisure Services Advisory
Committee on March 10, 2005. The following recommendation was approved by Council
on March 29, 2005:
7. Report LS05-015 — Artificial Sports Field
THAT the Leisure Services Advisory Committee endorse the concept of an artificial sports
field; and
THAT staff be authorized to continue to develop a plan of implementation for an artificial
sports field, identifying a proposed field location, funding sources and any potential
partnership opportunities with our local sports organizations.
CARRIED
With the approval of the Soccer Bubble Agreement, staff prepared Report LS05-045 to
Council on July 12, 2005 regarding the relocation of light standards from the Legion field to
Sheppard's Bush.

December 20, 2005 - 2 - LS05-066
The following recommendation approved by Council was:
4. LS05-045 —Sheppard's Bush - Sports Field Lighting System
Moved by Councillor Vrancic
Seconded by Councillor Kean
THAT, subject to final approval of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority,
Council approve the relocation of the existing sports field lighting system from the
Legion Soccer Field (future soccer bubble site) to Sheppard's Bush Conservation
Area; and
THAT Council approve a maximum expenditure of $20,000.00 for the costs
associated with removal and relocation of the lighting equipment.
CARRIED
In response to Council direction, staff have prepared a Capital Budget submission for
Council consideration to provide an artificial turf field at Sheppard's Bush. Staff have also
been in contactwith the primaryuser of the facility (AYSC) to elicit support and partnership
funding for the project which is reflected in the Capital Budget submission to help reduce
the capital cost of the facility to the Town.
The advantage of the artificial turf field is best stated in Report LS05-015 which states:
"One of the major benefits of an artificial turf is that the surface can accommodate unlimited
use and extended seasons of play with virtually no ongoing maintenance requirements. It
is feasible that one artificial turf facility could potentially provide the needs of two senior
soccer fields in one facility"
COMMENTS
As per Special Committee direction staff have prepared this report to address questions
raised at General Committee.
Impact of postponing the installation of the artificial field for one (1) year?
There has been a growing need for user groups to access sports fields in the early
spring as well as into the fall. This has created an extremely difficult situation for staff
to maintain these fields throughout the year in a good playing condition. The artificial
turf field addresses this issue. A postponement for one yearwould affect our ability to
permit early or late season play and may cause existing fields to shutdown prematurely
in 2006. If the postponement was approved, staff would recommend that no Capital
funds be allocated to upgrade the Sheppard's Bush soccer field in 2006.
Length of Use Per Season?
The artificial turf field is not weather or season dependant, and can virtually be played
upon the entire year. Conversely natural turf field is subject to the weather and has a
playing season of approximately 20 weeks.
..../3

LS05.066
3. Who will use it?
Staff have been in communication with a number of potential users to determine their
level of interest during the preparation of the March 10, 2005 report. Soccer Clubs
have indicated a strong interest, rugby, field hockey, football have also indicated a
desire to use the field if constructed. Please find attached correspondence from the
Aurora Barbarians.
4. Revenue Generation?
Because of the unique character of the facility and the seasonal availability, staff are
confident that based on our present fee structure $10,000 in additional user fees is
attainable. Staff are recommending, however that due to the Capital investment
involved in the construction of the field that user fees be increased to attain a total
revenue of $15,000.
OPTIONS
If Council determines that the artificial turf field not be constructed and that a natural turf
field be considered, staff recommend that $320,000 be identified in the 2006 Capital
Budget for field improvements. If the field improvements are not approved, staff further
recommends that the lights not be activated until such time as field improvements are
considered.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
See reports attached.
CONCLUSIONS
See reports attached.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal "A" speaks to maintaining a well managed and fiscally responsible municipality.

TOWN OF AURORA
LEISURE SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT No. LS05-015
SUBJECT: Artificial Sports Field
FROM: Allan D. Downey, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: March 10, 2005
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT the Leisure Services Advisory Committee endorse the concept of an artificial
sports field, and
THAT staff be authorized to continue to develop a plan of implementation for an
artificial sports field identifying a proposed field location, funding sources and any
potential partnership opportunities with our local sports organizations.
BACKGROUND
In an effort to address the growing needs in the communityfor additional sports fields, staff
have been faced with a number of significant issues in this regard.
The approved Culture and Recreation Master Plan indicates that the standard for senior
lighted soccer facilities is one (1) facility for every ten thousand (10,000) residents. Our
current population is approximately 45,000 residents and we provide 4 senior lighted
soccer facilities resulting in a shortage of .5 of one senior lighted facility.
The Culture and Recreation Master Plan indicates that the Town should construct one (1)
senior lighted soccer facility in 2005 and one (1) senior rugby facility in 2005, however
these new facilities were not included in the year 2005 Capital Budget based on the
absence of land required to build the facilities.
Land available for the construction of sports fields has been an issue for a considerable
period of time. During the secondary planning process associated with the 2B
Development Lands east of Bayview Avenue, staff had indicated the need to acquire
additional lands forthe purposes of meeting our community park service levels associated
with this particular development area. Unfortunately, these lands could not be acquired
and as a result we have experienced further pressures in terms of land availability.
With the acquisition of the Leslie Street lands and the Burnett property there may be
potential for recreational lands, however the timeframe in which the lands might become
available is somewhat uncertain. As a result of this timeframe, the growth in our
community and the current service levels, there is growing concern regarding our abilityto
meet the needs of the community with our existing facilities.
—147—
March 10, 2005 - 2 - Report No. LS05-015
Use of our existing facilities has also reached a critical level in that our three premier
facilities at Fleury Park, Optimists Park and the Legion Field are being somewhat over
used. As a result, the quality of turf on these facilities, although vigorously maintained, has
shown a steady decline during the past two seasons.
Based on the above, the obvious need for additional facilities and the current lack of
available lands, staff began exploring a number of options and ways of upgrading and
improving existing Town owned sports field facilities.
To this end, staff conducted a substantial amount of research on artificial turf products,
their exterior applications, where the products have been employed and the cost benefit
analysis of an artificial turf facility versus natural turf.
One of the major benefits of artificial turf is that the surface can accommodate unlimited
use and extended seasons of play with virtually no ongoing maintenance requirements. It
is feasible that one artificial turf facility could potentially provide the needs of two senior
soccer fields in one facility.
In view of the above and the fact that costs associated with acquiring additional park land,
field construction and ongoing maintenance are continuing to escalate, it was evident that
there was ample rational for staff to pursue the artificial surface further.
As such, staff contacted a leading artificial sports turf provider and met on site to review an
artificial facility in the City of Vaughan located at the Ontario Soccer Centre (see attached
photos). This facility has been in place for two years and according to reports from the
user group it has been a tremendous success.
COMMENTS
Although a seemingly radical, highly unusual and costly approach to sports field
construction, artificial field turf is actually less costly than natural grass and is quickly
becoming increasingly more popular with sports field facility providers and users as the
playing surface of choice.
The primary reasons for the increasing popularity in these facilities is that the new second
generation technology in artificial turf systems is much improved overthe old original Astro
Turf type products, whereby these products were prohibitively expensive and very much
linked to causing player injuries.
In addition, with the growth in popularity of soccer and rugby, existing facilities in most
municipalities are being over used with little or no turf grass recovery time. This problem is
compounded due to our northern climate, relatively short growing season and the amount
of down time available that a natural turf facility requires to provide an acceptable quality
facility on a consistent basis.
Currentlythere are hundreds of artificial facilities throughoutthe United States and Europe,
as well as several municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area that have elected to install an
artificial surface including the Town of Oakville, City of Mississauga and City of Vaughan.
.. J3
—148—
March 10, 2005 - 3 - Report No. LS05-015
There are a number of key factors attributing to this as follows:
From a sports field user's perspective artificial turf is far superior in terms of improved
quality of game play, player's safety and injury reduction, as a result of the surface being
consistently smooth, level and extremely forgiving to serious injuries based on a deep layer
of crumb rubber infill material within the turf medium. In addition, there are no down time
maintenance requirements for artificial turf. It can be used for extended seasons of play as
early as March and as late as December each year. Some providers actually remove the
snow and permit winter play.
From a facility providers perspective there are numerous major advantages over a natural
turf surface, not the least of which is a dramatic financial savings in the ongoing
maintenance of the artificial field. The attached cost benefit analysis clearly outlines the
advantages of an artificial turf surface compared to a natural turf surface and the
associated financial information which actually demonstrates a cost savings over
$600,000.00 over the life span of the facility.
OPTIONS
There are few options to consider in contemplating the construction of an artificial facility,
however if the planning for this facility receives support there are a number of options in
terms of construction methods, funding sources and potential partnerships that can be
considered.
CONCLUSIONS
That the Leisure Services Advisory Committee support the concept of an artificial soccer
field to be constructed in the Town of Aurora and authorize staff to proceed with further
research and report back to the Committee with the applicable information associated with
a proposed location and cost implications.
