12002 Accessibility Committee
Corporate Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the implementation of the 2016-2022 priorities as decided upon by the Accessibility Committee. The 2016-
2022 Accessibility Plan will build upon previously adopted Accessibility Plans and continue to identify and remove barriers for people
with disabilities in Town goals, services and facilities.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The effectiveness of the Accessibility Advisory Committee is dependent upon funding being made available for the action of its
established Accessibility Plan. By allowing action of this plan through the provision of funding, the Town of Aurora will be contributing
toward the achievement of its goal of continuing to identify and remove barriers for people with disabilities in Town goods, services
and facilities.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Responsibility for the Accessibility Advisory Committee and plan implementation is with Corporate Services and the Accessibility
Advisor.
The Ontarians with Disabilites Act (ODA) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) places a statutory duty on
municipalities to identify and remove barriers to access services that affect persons with disabilities. In addition, Accessibility
Committees are a statutory requirement.
The Accessibility Advisory Committee recommends to Council plans to remove barriers that have been identified on an annual
basis. The Committee's plan is adopted by Council annually. This project allows the implementation of the approved plan.
For 2017, the $125,000 requested, as outlined in the Town's Accessibility Plan, is to be used for audible pedestrian signal at the
intersection of Yonge St and Edward St. ($75,000); and Machell Park - accessible lighting ($50,000)
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

14047 Computer & Related Infrastructure Renewal
Corporate Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To undertake the annual replacement cycle purchases of IT equipment for the Town of Aurora. Funding for this initiative is required
annually.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
In order to maintain an acceptable fleet of computer equipment servicing the needs and requirements of the Town business, the
evergreening of this equipment is necessary.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
In an effort to streamline costs and to help reduce the environmental impact, the desktop and laptop evergreening cycle changed to
seven years in 2013. Server replacement schedules reflect on average a ten year cycle. Replacement cycle changes, have resulted
in an uneven expenditure over the next several years.
Based on current IT inventories there is equipment that will be targeted for replacement in 2017. This amount will allow for the
replacement of those identified computers, laptops and servers/network infrastructure elements critical to our ongoing business
operations. The replacement cycle includes the following: desktops, monitors, laptops, tablets, servers, SAN (Storage Area
Network) hardware, blades and enclosures, firewall, security appliances, and switches.
In 2017, we need to replace two application servers, one used for the Cityview application and the other for the Maximo application.
The server that Cityview runs on requires replacement of end of life Windows server operating system and SQL. Replacement will
maintain current operating system technology for compliance with vendor applications and will provide the latest updates to security,
new features, enhancements and functionality. In order to move forward with the Maximo Upgrade to 7.6, capital project 31153, it is
mandatory that we upgrade from Windows Server 2008 and SQL 2008 to Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2012.

Corporate Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To replace and upgrade the existing wireless infrastructure to meet current wireless standards and to supply all Town facilities with
the same wireless infrastructure.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Supporting one type of wireless infrastructure across all facilities is more efficient for staff. This project will be phased in to all
facilities over a 3 year period.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
In our mobile first society, visitors to all Town facilities have come to expect wireless service to be available to them. This upgrade
will ensure that both the Corporate wireless and the Guest wireless network meet the demands of both staff and visitors to each of
the Town facilities. In addition, the new technology will provide flexibility and other new service features that will give staff options for
expanding the wireless service offering if desired at a later date.
Project was not included in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

72238 Town Hall - Council Chambers A/V System Upgrades
Financial Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To obtain additional funding to support two previously approved projects, 72238 Council Chambers AV System and 12029
Streaming Sub-Committees Via Internet. Staff have gone to market and evaluated a proposal that exceeds the current approved
budget. The systems and infrastructure that currently support the Council Chamber are outdated and well past their useful life cycle.
This project replaces our old analogue technology and introduces current digital Internet Protocol (IP) based technology.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Equipment has been failing. Staff has taken a strategic look at the requirements for the Chamber and the Holland Room. In addition
to updating the system to current technology, the renovation improves our accessibility features to support a more open and
accessible government. The impacts of not proceeding include a high risk of failure of current audio and video systems. If we miss
the window to proceed during the December Council recess, it will require relocation of numerous Council meetings resulting in
disruption and a significant cost. Delays impact the delivery of the Meeting Management system functionality and Council Chambers
systems integration. Further costs may be incurred.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The renovation involves removing all the old systems in the audio video room and introducing a new rack where all the new
equipment for the system will be installed. Accessibility features of this project include a height adjustable lectern for
delegation/presentations going from seated to a full standing height, higher quality video cameras and streaming technology
complete with closed captioning capabilities, curved, light rejecting, high contrast front projection screens to support a higher quality
laser phosphor projector with HD resolution (sharper clarity) as well as assisted listening device. Also included is the removal of the
wooden frame to improve ramp mobility. Other key features are introducing a voting system for Council with a queuing mechanism
and improved audio. New cabling will be introduced to support the new system. System functionality will be extended to the Holland
Room for committee meetings and also includes overflow capabilities for the lobby area. Also included is an overflow room for
Council meetings (Holland Room) that is tied directly into the system and leverages the same functionality as the Council Chamber.
Labour and programming are another key aspect for this highly integrated, easy to use system.

Description
PURPOSE:
To install permanent way finding signage throughout the building in a consistent manner.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Standardization of all interior way finding signage throughout all facilities. This will benefit the users of each facility including the
Aurora Family Leisure Complex.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Collaborative effort between Facilities Management and Corporate Services to meet AODA standards and have proper way finding
within the building. Through a sign committee process, user groups agreed on the visual aspects of the signage to meet current
building codes and legislation with a consultant. Now that we have the platform for the Town standard, the implementation plan was
developed with the consultant for implementation, placement, size for maximum benefit for visitors to the building. This will eliminate
confusion for new users to the facility and visiting sports teams and will comply with current AODA standards and improved way
finding.

Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Standardization of recycling containers throughout the Town, by adding three stream containers to all facilities.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Standardization will improve diversion rates helping us implement our Zero Waste policy as outlined in our Corporate Environmental
Action Plan.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Corporate Environmental Action Plan aims to reduce corporate waste going to landfill through reduction and diversion programs
at Town facilities and corporate events. To help achieve this objective, a Zero Waste Transition Program has been rolled out using 3-
stream containers (recycling, organics and garbage) in some Town facilities, though there are a variety of stand alone garbage
containers, and 2-stream bins that remain in service. To achieve greater waste diversion all Town buildings will require 3-stream
recycling stations, ensuring that recycling and organics collection is equally convenient to staff and the public. By expanding and
standardizing our containers at each Town facility, we will ensure that barriers to waste diversion are removed, and the Zero Waste
Transition Program is successful.

72201 Work Station Refresh Carpet Paint
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
The office facilities are dated and we are not using the Town Hall space to maximize optimal space planning requirements. The goal
is to balance out space requirements and refresh the work space. Most of the system furniture is original and requires an ergonomic
update and revised space plan. Carpet is thread worn in areas and overall the working environment has not been updated in
decades.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Touring the staff office space, it is clear that some team members have too much space while others have too little space for their job function. The
goal is to balance out the space requirements and create collaborative areas, better work space flow and to reduce the workstation heights so
people are less siloed. The impact is that we have staff working in better optimized space and increase the overall work flow for each department.
We do not use our limited square footage efficiently and we are wasting valuable Real Estate and thus running out of space. Some team members
have job functions that are critical to the Town's operations yet are working in an antiquated space that limits how they work. Staffing is one of the
higher costs the Town has as a fixed expense. We need to ensure that we are optimizing our physical space as presently we are not and this is
costing the Town in staff productivity. It is included in the 10 year capital plan.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The plan is to space plan the floor plate and have team discussions on workflows and what staff requirements are and to have
standards for job functions. Work stations would be either refreshed/ replaced with new workstations and the flooring would be
replaced with carpet tiles and walls would be repainted to one building standard. Each year, we would renovate a section of the
building and continue until the all work spaces are completed. This is a multi-year plan as we want to slowly phase in sections of
the building to reduce disruptions.
As the Town grows in population and the needs/demands increase, we need to be able to adapt to the changing work requirements,
currently we have very little swing space and no room to grow, reworking the existing space is more cost effective than building
additions.

72269 AED Replacement - Various Locations
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To purchase Physio - Control Automated External Defibrillator machines to meet the needs and demands of our programs and
services.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
AED machines reduces risk for the Corporation where we provide public service to Aurora residents (i.e. community centres, arenas,
fitness gym, pools, Town Hall)
Increases the chance of survival when an individual is unresponsive and not breathing.
High probability in having participants with heart attacks in our facilities such as the fitness centre, pools, hockey arenas, public
areas where we are all inclusive regardless of age and ability.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The machines that need to be replaced were purchased in 2004-5. The manufacturer's shelf life and American Heart Association
standards with AED's is 5 years overdue. Two new machines will be used as roving machines to support Corporate Special Events.
Currently the Town runs 15 large scale events throughout the year within 38 program days. There are instances when there are two
events that are running concurrently on the same day (i.e. Canada Day).
Benefits of roving machines used for special events: Cover large scale events, where there are large number of Aurora residents
that will be participating (i.e. parade). During the times, when the machines is not used, it can be used to run Lunch and Learn
sessions or act as a replacement machines once an AED is used in real life. Currently, there is not an extra AED machine that the
Town can use to replace a machine that was used in real life (i.e. Disruption of Service).

31107 Reconstruction - Brookland Avenue from Yonge Street to Banbury Court
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the reconstruction of the roadway, watermain and the installation of an oil/grit separator. This project includes
the reconstruction of Brookland Avenue from Yonge Street to Banbury Court.
The project will be carried out in 2 parts, design in 2015 and reconstruction in 2017. The project scope is to improve the road
condition, the safety of traveling public both drivers and pedestrians and address any drainage issues.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting and exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure -
maintain and expand infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The reconstruction of this infrastructure should lessen maintenance activities.
Class "D" estimate
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS

31108 Reconstruction - Algonquin Crescent and Haida Drive (Sections)
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the reconstruction of the roadway, watermain and storm sewer infrastructure. The project includes the
reconstruction of Algonquin Crescent (approximately 466m) and a section of Haida Drive from Algonquin Crescent to Aurora Heights
Drive (approximately 90m). The project will be carried out in 2 parts, design in 2015 and reconstruction in 2017. The project scope is
to improve the road condition, the safety of traveling public (drivers and pedestrians) and address drainage issues.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure -
maintain and expand infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The reconstruction of this infrastructure should lessen maintenance activities. There was a lot of feedback from residents during the
reconstruction of Kemano Road, Sioux Gate and Foreht Crescent requesting the reconstruction of Algonquin Crescent and Haida
Drive from Algonquin Crescent to Aurora Heights to eliminate the ditches, as these two roads are the only ones in the area without
curbs and gutters. Elimination of ditches will enable the extension of the sidewalk in the area. These two streets are the only ones in
the area without a sidewalk.
Class "D" estimate
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
On the 0 - 100 PCI (Pavement Condition Index) scale, a rating of less than 25 results in the streets in question being in the "Failed"
category. The PCI of the streets to be reconstructed are: Algonquin = 73, Haida Drive from Algonquin to Aurora Heights = 63. These
streets are the only 2 streets without sidewalk in an area with 3 elementary schools (Devins Dr. P.S., Aurora Heights P.S. and Our
Lady of Grace Elementary). By eliminating the ditches, a sidewalk will be installed on the street completing the sidewalk network in
the area.
Proposed works include:
- construction of new roads including new curbs, sidewalks, granular base and asphalt.
- both streets currently have road ditches. The ditches will be eliminated and a new storm sewer system will be built to urbanize the
streets. Consideration will be given to the installation of Low Impact Development (LID) controls such as perforated storm pipes,
bioswales in the boulevard, bioretention units as recommended in the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan for water quality improvement.
- construction of a new watermain
- minor manhole adjustments for the sanitary sewer system
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

31153 Maximo Upgrade to 7.6+
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To upgrade Maximo to version 7.6. IBM Maximo v7.5 was the chosen software for the Work and Asset Management System (WAMS).
Maximo is used to keep track of assets, manage preventative maintenance schedules and record work/maintenance done against
the asset. Since the original implementation, there have been several patch upgrades and more recently version 7.6 was released.
Each release offers enhanced functionality and fixes bugs found in the software.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all – Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure.
Maintain and expand infrastructure to support forecasted population growth through technology, waste management, roads,
emergency services and accessibility.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Greater staff compliance and buy in for Maximo.
Greater flexibility/functionality for mobile workforce.
Take advantage of fixes for software bugs and other enhancements.
Aligns with other IT projects to maintain back-end servers, databases and other hardware requirements.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Town has also been moving towards a mobile workforce with the configuration of tablets that can be used to receive
service requests and work orders in the field. Through a secure VPN connection, Town Staff are able to access Maximo,
however the screens are not optimized for the tablets. Users need to pan and scroll to see all the content. At version 7.6,
IBM has rolled in the Maximo Everyplace mobile licence into the core product. Through the upgrade the Town will have
access to the “Everyplace Mobile” functionality and would not have to purchase additional mobile-specific licences. It will
also allow us to configure the screens for the tablets.
The upgrade would also keep the Town current with other enhancements that have been made to eliminate bugs that have
been found in previous versions. IBM is also moving away from java applets which will in turn alleviate the frequent pop-up
requests to update Java.
Software upgrade is part of the annual licence maintenance subscription service. Additional costs would be consulting
services to assist IT and IES functional leads with the upgrade.
This project would align with other IT projects as the current Maximo servers are scheduled for replacement in 2017. Project
was not included in the 2015 Ten year Capital Investment Plan.

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Improve sidewalk and boulevard drainage on St. John's Sideroad from Gateway Drive to the watercourse (approximately 210 east of
Industrial Parkway North). The project is scheduled to be delivered in 2 parts: Part 1 - design and obtain Region's approval in 2017
and Part 2 - construction in 2018.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:

73134 Parks/ Trails Signage Strategy Study & Implementation
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To establish consistency in park signage through the standardization of parks/trails signage.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To improve on the current service levels with the inclusion of accessibility devices to assist trails users.
To increase user awareness of Parks By-law.
To improve the trails system with appropriate directional signage.
To improve the Town's image and marketing of our parks and trails system.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Trails Master Plan recommends that the Town implement a signage strategy for all trails within the municipality as there are
inconsistencies in the level and appropriateness of our trail signs. This growth related issue is also evident in the parks system
where it is necessary to establish a consistent and non polluting system of signage. The first stage of the project was the
development of signage standards, branding and a proposed signage location plan. This was approved by Council in the 2011
Capital Budget. Council approved the final signage strategy on September 9, 2014 and directed staff to include the addition of GPS
accessibility features that were outlined in staff report PR14-037.
Report PR14-037 which was adopted by Council on August 12, 2014 identified the costs and phasing recommendations for

73154 Playground Surface Restoration - Various Parks
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To maintain existing service level and safety standards in our parks and playground areas through the restoration of various park
playground surfaces.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To maintain and improve public safety.
To decrease risk of injury to children engaged in playground activity.
To decrease liability to the corporation in maintaining our parks and playgrounds in accordance with CSA standards.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services department maintains 32 children's playgrounds. It has been determined that wood
fiber mulch provides the maximum impact absorption when used as a fall protection surface in playground areas. As such, the
Parks division has embarked on a program whereby all of our new and existing playground safety surfaces have been prepared with
CSA certified wood fiber mulch. Staff have been upgrading pre-existing sand based protective surfaces for a number of years. In
addition, some of the earlier wood mulch protective surfaces require top dressing in order to maintain the required impact protection
levels.
Playgrounds scheduled to be upgraded with wood chip mulch in 2017 include the following parks:
Hickson
Town
Optimist
Thompson
Taylor

73160 Emerald Ash Borer Management Program
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN : Supporting environmental stewardship and sustainability - Objective 1: Encouraging the stewardship
of Aurora's natural resources.
To manage the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation of the municipal street tree inventory, parks and wood lots, further funding is
required in support of this program. 2016 is Year 4 of 10 for this program.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To maintain public safety associated with the removal of dying and potentially dangerous trees.
To maintain acceptable neighborhood aesthetics.
To re-establish tree canopy by replacing trees that are removed.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The implementation of Year 5 of the EAB Management Plan will involve the continued treatment of approximately 900 ash street
trees. Not all ash street trees will qualify for treatment based on their declining condition as a result of EAB infestation. There is an
indication that the number of EAB infested trees was on the incline in 2014 based on the evidence of this insect infesting many trees
in the 2013 season and the removal of more than 66 street trees in 2013 and approximately 100 in 2014. As such, the situation is
unfolding as predicted in terms of timing and effects of this insect.
Staff are continuing to monitor the Ash tree inventory to gauge the effectiveness of the treatment program.
As per Council's approval of recommendations contained in Report PR13-031 ,The Town has contracted Green Lawn Limited for a
four year period to continue to inject candidate trees with TreeAzin and funds have been allocated to this treatment program. There
has been some revisions to the estimated costs based on actual tree sizes being somewhat larger than those estimated in the
Tree Inventory due to growth rates since the original inventory was recorded. This has resulted in a corresponding price increase for
the treatment of some trees. In addition, staff have added an amount for the removal and replacement of a number of trees each
year (approximately 100). As the EAB infestation reaches its peak, staff may be able to provide more accurate costs for removal and
replacement of trees. Moving forward trees can be replaced with trees grown in our two tree nurseries.
Staff will provide further information in an EAB update report which will outline in detail all aspects of the EAB Management Strategy
including recommendations on continuing with the treatment plan.

73289 LED - Convert Pathway Lighting
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Convert 280 pathway lights from high pressure sodium to LED lighting.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Decrease in energy costs.
Increase in energy efficiency.
Increased lighting levels and public safety.
Increase in lamp life cycling.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
With the ongoing technological improvements associated with LED Lighting, it is now feasible to re-lamp all park pathway lighting
equipment with improved and more efficient LED luminaires. This can be achieved by removing the existing high pressure sodium
lamp and installing a LED lamp. All other lighting components will remain in place thereby avoiding the need to replace the entire
light fixture.
Conversion of all municipal street lights has been a successful endeavour and based on the advancements in LED technology in
park related lighting staff see significant benefit in completing the conversion of all park walkway lighting.

73291 Traffic Circle Improvements in 2B
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To remove unmanageable vegetation in traffic circles on Conover Avenue.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Increase ongoing landscaping maintenance efficiencies.
Decrease in ongoing maintenance requirements.
Improved area aesthetics.
Improve sight lines and traffic safety.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Since the introduction of traffic circles in the 2A and 2B development areas it has been difficult to maintain the landscaped centre
island features in these turning circles. The maintenance has been made significantly more difficult with the ban on herbicides that
were most effective in limiting weeds and unwanted vegetation that is constantly present in these landscaped areas.
This has resulted in increased costs associated with frequent manual removal of the unwanted vegetation in an effort to maintain
these areas to an acceptable state of appearance. Despite the best efforts of staff and contract service providers to maintain these
areas, it has become increasingly evident that a change in the landscape is necessary to improve efficiency and appearance. In
addition to maintenance requirements, there have been occasions where plant material has created a visual obstruction for
motorists entering and exiting the traffic circles and the associated safety related concerns.
It is proposed to remove all herbaceous plant material and replace it with more manageable turf grass, decorative rock and trees.
In a test project, staff successfully converted a single traffic circle on Gateway Drive in 2015 and plan to convert a second circle on
John West Way in 2016. These conversions were completed by in house resources and surplus materials that were already on
hand. (please see attached photos Hartwell and Conover (before) and Gateway Drive (after)).
Four turning circles on Conover Avenue have been identified to be converted in 2017 and an additional four circles on Mavrinac
Boulevard are planned for conversion in 2018.

Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To bring 3-Phase power to the Temperance Street and Ballymore/Trent Sanitary Pumping Stations. This will be a two phase project
with the Temperance St Pumping Station being changed out in 2016 and the Ballymore/Trent St Pumping Station being changed out
in in 2017.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Reduce the number of times the current pumps are clogging and operational costs of paying for a contractor to pull the pump and
remove the debris. This will also reduce the Town's risk of an environmental sewage spill in the event both pumps fail (due to
clogging) and the wet well backs up.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The electrical supply powering these 2 sanitary pumping stations is only Single Phase power. In order to change the existing pumps
to a larger/stronger non-clogging pump, 3-Phase Electrical power is required.
The funding originally requested in 2015 was insufficient to carry out either project as a result additional money is requested in 2016
to complete one of the pumping stations and the second pumping station will be completed in 2017.

43038 Water Meter Replacement Program
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Water meters are an important component of Aurora's Municipal Drinking Water System. Every residential, industrial, commercial,
and institutional customer is equipped with a water meter to track consumption. This ensures that each individual customer is
being billed for only the water they consume. The average life span of a residential water meter is 20 years.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all - Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure - Maintain and expand
infrastructure to support forecasted population growth through technology, waste management, roads, emergency services and
accessibility.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Water meters are mechanical devices and like all mechanical devices wear with age. For this reason they need to be replaced so
that the Town can ensure that the water meters are providing as accurate measurements as possible. Water meters were installed
here in Aurora in 1990, we currently have approximately 15,000 service connections and water meters.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The age of the majority of our water meters have hit 20 years old. Water meters are most accurate for the first 10 - 15 years, their
accuracy decreases as they wear to the benefit of the consumer. This reduction in accuracy has a negative impact on the revenue
stream for the Town of Aurora and it increases our water loss.This project is being funded from the water reserve however will be
overseen by both IES and Corporate and Financial Services Department as it relates to metering and revenues.
Class A estimate.
This will be the fourth year of a ten year program. Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment

43044 Bulk Water Meter Installation
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
1. To install 2 bulk water meter chambers/backflow preventers at the Tarahill Condo Town home development off of Old Yonge Street
where there are currently 106 individual meters. The department has dealt with many billing disputes at this property.
2. To install 3 bulk water meter chambers/backflow preventers at the 2 Orchard Heights Plaza where there are currently 36
residential accounts and 42 commercial accounts. The department has dealt with many billing disputes over the years issues such
as multiple tenants on one meter tenants with little water use, with large and fluctuating consumption reads, private plumbers
altering the plumbing in the individual units and moving water meters.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The installation of the bulk water meters at the property line will ensure that the Town receives sufficient payment for every cubic
meter of water being used by the site. Upon completion of this project, billing disputes in relation to these sites should be virtually
eliminated as only a single bill will need to be issued to the site's property management company.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Tara Hill complex was built in the late 1980's and has 106 residential units which are billed separately. There have been issues
billing this complex especially as it relates to the common areas and sprinkler system. It is not our common business practice to
read individual meters at Condo type townhouse complexes. We would normally do a bulk read and it is up to the owner or property
management company to bill their tenants. Currently we are reading and billing 106 residential units (4 times per year). This is an
onerous task on our part administering 106 accounts. Our purposes would be better served if a single metering point/backflow
prevention was installed (to protect the Town's Distribution system) and a single water bill was produced for the entire property.
2 Orchard Heights Plaza was constructed before the Town began installing water meters on all properties. At the time of meter
installation, each unit at this property was metered. Since that time through various renovations it has become clear that the internal
metering is unreliable, and the Town is not collecting revenue for the water consumed. It is not our common business practice to
read individual meters at Commercial plaza's. Our purposes would be better served if a single metering point/backflow prevention
was installed (to protect the Town's Distribution system) and a single water bill was produced for the entire property.
This will be a two phase process, 2017 will see bulk water meters installed at 2 Orchard Heights and in 2018 the bulk water meters
will be installed at Tara Hill.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

42062 Flood Study for Tannery Creek
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for an update to the 1995 "Aurora Flood Relief Study" by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates". The project will be
delivered in 2 Parts: Part 1- update of the 1995 Study to be delivered in 2017 and Part 2 - implementation of study's
recommendations, to be delivered in 2019.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Aurora's CSWM-MP endorsed by Council in April 2016 recommends that: "the remediations measures for the seven (7) flood
damage centres noted in the 1995 Aurora Flood Relief Study by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates be implemented". The study needs
to be updated to confirm cost effective measures for channel and infrastructure improvements in 2017 dollars.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The purpose of the 1995 "Flood Relief Study" was to develop a program of practical and cost effective flood damage reduction
measures that would minimize potential flood damages and risk to life within the Tannery Creek in the Town of Aurora.
The main objectives for the study update are:
- update of the 1995 hydrologic and hydraulic models
- determine the magnitude of flood damage for various flood return storm frequencies and on-going changes to seasonal weather
patterns
- investigate cost effective flood damage reduction measures taking into account the fact that Ontario's infrastructure is vulnerable to
climate change impacts such as more frequent and more violent storms that cause flooding, decreasing the life cycle expectancy for
municipal infrastructure (i.e culverts, bridges, roads, storm pipes, ponds)
- determine a long term program of flood damage reduction
- establish infrastructure planning principles with consideration for investing in infrastructure that can stand up to the test of changing
climate.
- provide a list of recommendations for flood damage control and infrastructure upgrade
The study will be initiated in 2017 and its recommendations will be implemented in 2019.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan under the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan.

42065 Oversized Storm Pipe Assessment and Clean Up
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the clean-up and maintenance of 20 storm "superpipes" (storm equalization tanks) across the Town. A
contractor will be hired to inspect, assess and clean-up the pipes if needed.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure -
maintain and expand infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To ensure that the storm equalization tanks across Town function as intended and their design capacity is maintained and/or
restored.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Town maintains 20 storm equalization tanks in different locations across the Town. These storm tanks vary in both width
(diameter) from 1m to 4m (975mm to 4.27m) and in length from 14m to 102m.
The function of these storm tanks is to store stormwater and outlet it controlled either through an orifice tube or plate. The tanks
require regular inspection, assessment and maintenance so that grit and debris do not collect within the tank and at the restrictors
and cause any form of buildup or overflow beyond their design storage capacity.
Project was not included in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To reshingle the roof and paint the band shell/washroom at Town Park.
APPROVED PENDING A FURTHER REPORT TO COUNCIL
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To enhance the appearance of the band shell facility.
To prolong the life cycling of the band shell facility.
To maintain high profile image and standards of the band shell facility.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The band shell and washroom facilities were constructed in 2001 in conjunction with the Town Park redevelopment Master Plan
Project. The facilities have provided a high level of service and profile within the municipality in the hosting of numerous events and
concerts since 2001 without a great deal of investment in the building infrastructure or major upgrades.
The original roofing consists of an architectural asphalt based shingle which has served its useful life and now requires
replacement in order to protect the building roof and wooden timber structure. It is proposed to remove and replace the existing
shingles with a similar product with an estimated useable service life of 30 years. In addition, the band shell and washroom exterior
structure surfaces will be prepared and refinished with the appropriate paint and stains as necessary.

73223 Replace Artificial Turf- Sheppards Bush
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To replace aging artificial turf at Sheppard's Bush.
APPROVED PENDING A FURTHER REPORT TO COUNCIL
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To increase service life of existing infrastructure.
To reduce risk of infrastructure failure.
To reduce risk of sports related injury.
To improve playing field conditions.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Artificial turf was installed at Sheppards Bush and has been operational since the 2007 playing season. At the time of installation, the manufacturer
indicated that with regular grooming and maintenance a useful life expectancy of 7 to 10 years should be considered the maximum in terms of the
stability and performance of both the fibrous and in fill materials which make up the turf system. Life expectancy was dependant on the use of the
facility. Staff have confirmed that a total of 17,503 hours of play has occurred on this facility since the original installation with an annual
maintenance cost of approximately $1,500.00. The turf is exhibiting signs of wear and breakdown (e.g. loss of fibre and destabilization of fibre)
from the amount of use and exposure to the elements. Staff do not recommend prolonging the use of the current surface as this facility is crucial to
the needs of Aurora Youth Soccer and other users. A further deteriorated surface or a major failure of the surface during the playing season would
have a major impact on the user group programs.
The original business case presented to Council,showed that there was a considerable benefit to the community sports groups with the installation of
artificial turf which far exceeded the capital costs associated with replacement of the turf on a 10 year cycle. Benefits included significantly reduced
maintenance costs, longer playing season and a much safer playing surface. This remains the case and the Town has installed a second artificial
turf facility.
Staff are exploring options to recycle the existing used artificial turf and in fill material and will continue to do so in an effort to avoid disposing of the
material in a landfill. Research indicates that there are several outlets that have developed a process to recycle this material for use in other useful
products. Prior to proceeding with the project, staff will confirm the manner in which the existing material will be disposed .
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

73277 Willow Farm Trail Improvements*

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To repair and replace the gabion stone retaining wall and barrier fencing to stabilize ravine banks on the trail system and to install
fencing to improve safety.
APPROVED ON THE CONDITION THAT WE RECEIVE CANADA 150 INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To increase safety and increase the functionality of the trail.
To increase longevity of the trail system.
To reduce trail maintenance.
To decrease the risks and liability associated with non standard protective barriers and declining infrastructure.
The benefit of undertaking this project would be decreased trail repair costs and an increase in customer satisfaction with Aurora's
trail system.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
In the late 1980's, the developer installed a gabion wall and fencing to stabilize a ravine bank in the green space that abuts the rear
of many houses along Willow Farm Lane. In addition, a trail was also created in the green space for pedestrian use. The wall has
shifted and the fencing has deteriorated over the years which has caused problems in the maintenance along the trail as well as
raising safety concerns for users. The repairs will stabilize the slope, improve the trail conditions and eliminate the risk to the public.
An application has been submitted to the Canada150 Community Infrastructure Program for Rehabilitation of Willow Farm Trail.
Should our application not be successful, the project will not be undertaken.
Project was not included in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the implementation of the 2016-2022 priorities as decided upon by the Accessibility Committee. The 2016-
2022 Accessibility Plan will build upon previously adopted Accessibility Plans and continue to identify and remove barriers for people
with disabilities in Town goals, services and facilities.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The effectiveness of the Accessibility Advisory Committee is dependent upon funding being made available for the action of its
established Accessibility Plan. By allowing action of this plan through the provision of funding, the Town of Aurora will be contributing
toward the achievement of its goal of continuing to identify and remove barriers for people with disabilities in Town goods, services
and facilities.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Responsibility for the Accessibility Advisory Committee and plan implementation is with Corporate Services and the Accessibility
Advisor.
The Ontarians with Disabilites Act (ODA) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) places a statutory duty on
municipalities to identify and remove barriers to access services that affect persons with disabilities. In addition, Accessibility
Committees are a statutory requirement.
The Accessibility Advisory Committee recommends to Council plans to remove barriers that have been identified on an annual
basis. The Committee's plan is adopted by Council annually. This project allows the implementation of the approved plan.
For 2017, the $125,000 requested, as outlined in the Town's Accessibility Plan, is to be used for audible pedestrian signal at the
intersection of Yonge St and Edward St. ($75,000); and Machell Park - accessible lighting ($50,000)
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

Corporate Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To undertake the annual replacement cycle purchases of IT equipment for the Town of Aurora. Funding for this initiative is required
annually.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
In order to maintain an acceptable fleet of computer equipment servicing the needs and requirements of the Town business, the
evergreening of this equipment is necessary.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
In an effort to streamline costs and to help reduce the environmental impact, the desktop and laptop evergreening cycle changed to
seven years in 2013. Server replacement schedules reflect on average a ten year cycle. Replacement cycle changes, have resulted
in an uneven expenditure over the next several years.
Based on current IT inventories there is equipment that will be targeted for replacement in 2017. This amount will allow for the
replacement of those identified computers, laptops and servers/network infrastructure elements critical to our ongoing business
operations. The replacement cycle includes the following: desktops, monitors, laptops, tablets, servers, SAN (Storage Area
Network) hardware, blades and enclosures, firewall, security appliances, and switches.
In 2017, we need to replace two application servers, one used for the Cityview application and the other for the Maximo application.
The server that Cityview runs on requires replacement of end of life Windows server operating system and SQL. Replacement will
maintain current operating system technology for compliance with vendor applications and will provide the latest updates to security,
new features, enhancements and functionality. In order to move forward with the Maximo Upgrade to 7.6, capital project 31153, it is
mandatory that we upgrade from Windows Server 2008 and SQL 2008 to Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2012.

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To replace and upgrade the existing wireless infrastructure to meet current wireless standards and to supply all Town facilities with
the same wireless infrastructure.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Supporting one type of wireless infrastructure across all facilities is more efficient for staff. This project will be phased in to all
facilities over a 3 year period.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
In our mobile first society, visitors to all Town facilities have come to expect wireless service to be available to them. This upgrade
will ensure that both the Corporate wireless and the Guest wireless network meet the demands of both staff and visitors to each of
the Town facilities. In addition, the new technology will provide flexibility and other new service features that will give staff options for
expanding the wireless service offering if desired at a later date.
Project was not included in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

72238 Town Hall - Council Chambers A/V System Upgrades
Financial Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To obtain additional funding to support two previously approved projects, 72238 Council Chambers AV System and 12029
Streaming Sub-Committees Via Internet. Staff have gone to market and evaluated a proposal that exceeds the current approved
budget. The systems and infrastructure that currently support the Council Chamber are outdated and well past their useful life cycle.
This project replaces our old analogue technology and introduces current digital Internet Protocol (IP) based technology.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Equipment has been failing. Staff has taken a strategic look at the requirements for the Chamber and the Holland Room. In addition
to updating the system to current technology, the renovation improves our accessibility features to support a more open and
accessible government. The impacts of not proceeding include a high risk of failure of current audio and video systems. If we miss
the window to proceed during the December Council recess, it will require relocation of numerous Council meetings resulting in
disruption and a significant cost. Delays impact the delivery of the Meeting Management system functionality and Council Chambers
systems integration. Further costs may be incurred.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The renovation involves removing all the old systems in the audio video room and introducing a new rack where all the new
equipment for the system will be installed. Accessibility features of this project include a height adjustable lectern for
delegation/presentations going from seated to a full standing height, higher quality video cameras and streaming technology
complete with closed captioning capabilities, curved, light rejecting, high contrast front projection screens to support a higher quality
laser phosphor projector with HD resolution (sharper clarity) as well as assisted listening device. Also included is the removal of the
wooden frame to improve ramp mobility. Other key features are introducing a voting system for Council with a queuing mechanism
and improved audio. New cabling will be introduced to support the new system. System functionality will be extended to the Holland
Room for committee meetings and also includes overflow capabilities for the lobby area. Also included is an overflow room for
Council meetings (Holland Room) that is tied directly into the system and leverages the same functionality as the Council Chamber.
Labour and programming are another key aspect for this highly integrated, easy to use system.

Description
PURPOSE:
To install permanent way finding signage throughout the building in a consistent manner.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Standardization of all interior way finding signage throughout all facilities. This will benefit the users of each facility including the

72182 Facilities - 3 Stream - Recycling Containers
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Standardization of recycling containers throughout the Town, by adding three stream containers to all facilities.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Standardization will improve diversion rates helping us implement our Zero Waste policy as outlined in our Corporate Environmental
Action Plan.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Corporate Environmental Action Plan aims to reduce corporate waste going to landfill through reduction and diversion programs
at Town facilities and corporate events. To help achieve this objective, a Zero Waste Transition Program has been rolled out using 3-
stream containers (recycling, organics and garbage) in some Town facilities, though there are a variety of stand alone garbage
containers, and 2-stream bins that remain in service. To achieve greater waste diversion all Town buildings will require 3-stream
recycling stations, ensuring that recycling and organics collection is equally convenient to staff and the public. By expanding and
standardizing our containers at each Town facility, we will ensure that barriers to waste diversion are removed, and the Zero Waste
Transition Program is successful.

72201 Work Station Refresh Carpet Paint
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
The office facilities are dated and we are not using the Town Hall space to maximize optimal space planning requirements. The goal
is to balance out space requirements and refresh the work space. Most of the system furniture is original and requires an ergonomic
update and revised space plan. Carpet is thread worn in areas and overall the working environment has not been updated in
decades.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Touring the staff office space, it is clear that some team members have too much space while others have too little space for their job function. The
goal is to balance out the space requirements and create collaborative areas, better work space flow and to reduce the workstation heights so
people are less siloed. The impact is that we have staff working in better optimized space and increase the overall work flow for each department.
We do not use our limited square footage efficiently and we are wasting valuable Real Estate and thus running out of space. Some team members
have job functions that are critical to the Town's operations yet are working in an antiquated space that limits how they work. Staffing is one of the
higher costs the Town has as a fixed expense. We need to ensure that we are optimizing our physical space as presently we are not and this is
costing the Town in staff productivity. It is included in the 10 year capital plan.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The plan is to space plan the floor plate and have team discussions on workflows and what staff requirements are and to have
standards for job functions. Work stations would be either refreshed/ replaced with new workstations and the flooring would be
replaced with carpet tiles and walls would be repainted to one building standard. Each year, we would renovate a section of the
building and continue until the all work spaces are completed. This is a multi-year plan as we want to slowly phase in sections of
the building to reduce disruptions.
As the Town grows in population and the needs/demands increase, we need to be able to adapt to the changing work requirements,
currently we have very little swing space and no room to grow, reworking the existing space is more cost effective than building
additions.

Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To purchase Physio - Control Automated External Defibrillator machines to meet the needs and demands of our programs and
services.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
AED machines reduces risk for the Corporation where we provide public service to Aurora residents (i.e. community centres, arenas,
fitness gym, pools, Town Hall)
Increases the chance of survival when an individual is unresponsive and not breathing.
High probability in having participants with heart attacks in our facilities such as the fitness centre, pools, hockey arenas, public
areas where we are all inclusive regardless of age and ability.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The machines that need to be replaced were purchased in 2004-5. The manufacturer's shelf life and American Heart Association
standards with AED's is 5 years overdue. Two new machines will be used as roving machines to support Corporate Special Events.
Currently the Town runs 15 large scale events throughout the year within 38 program days. There are instances when there are two
events that are running concurrently on the same day (i.e. Canada Day).
Benefits of roving machines used for special events: Cover large scale events, where there are large number of Aurora residents
that will be participating (i.e. parade). During the times, when the machines is not used, it can be used to run Lunch and Learn
sessions or act as a replacement machines once an AED is used in real life. Currently, there is not an extra AED machine that the
Town can use to replace a machine that was used in real life (i.e. Disruption of Service).

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the reconstruction of the roadway, watermain and the installation of an oil/grit separator. This project includes
the reconstruction of Brookland Avenue from Yonge Street to Banbury Court.
The project will be carried out in 2 parts, design in 2015 and reconstruction in 2017. The project scope is to improve the road
condition, the safety of traveling public both drivers and pedestrians and address any drainage issues.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting and exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure -
maintain and expand infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The reconstruction of this infrastructure should lessen maintenance activities.
Class "D" estimate
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
On the 0 - 100 PCI (Pavement Condition Index) scale, a rating of less than 25 for residential streets results in the street section(s) in
question being in the "Failed" category. The PCI of the street sections being reconstructed in 2016 is Brookland Avenue = 5.
The proposed works include:
- 310m of new road and curb construction
- 310m of new watermain construction
- storm and sanitary sewers replacement
- 2 oil/grit separators to be installed on the storm sewer at the creek crossings
- sidewalk repairs, where required, including sidewalk ramp improvements where required for AODA compliance
- audible pedestrian signals at the Yonge and Brookland signalized intersection - funds for the audible pedestrian signals for
both the design of the signals and their installation will be provided by the Accessibility Advisor.

31108 Reconstruction - Algonquin Crescent and Haida Drive (Sections)
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the reconstruction of the roadway, watermain and storm sewer infrastructure. The project includes the
reconstruction of Algonquin Crescent (approximately 466m) and a section of Haida Drive from Algonquin Crescent to Aurora Heights
Drive (approximately 90m). The project will be carried out in 2 parts, design in 2015 and reconstruction in 2017. The project scope is
to improve the road condition, the safety of traveling public (drivers and pedestrians) and address drainage issues.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure -
maintain and expand infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The reconstruction of this infrastructure should lessen maintenance activities. There was a lot of feedback from residents during the
reconstruction of Kemano Road, Sioux Gate and Foreht Crescent requesting the reconstruction of Algonquin Crescent and Haida
Drive from Algonquin Crescent to Aurora Heights to eliminate the ditches, as these two roads are the only ones in the area without
curbs and gutters. Elimination of ditches will enable the extension of the sidewalk in the area. These two streets are the only ones in
the area without a sidewalk.
Class "D" estimate
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
On the 0 - 100 PCI (Pavement Condition Index) scale, a rating of less than 25 results in the streets in question being in the "Failed"
category. The PCI of the streets to be reconstructed are: Algonquin = 73, Haida Drive from Algonquin to Aurora Heights = 63. These
streets are the only 2 streets without sidewalk in an area with 3 elementary schools (Devins Dr. P.S., Aurora Heights P.S. and Our
Lady of Grace Elementary). By eliminating the ditches, a sidewalk will be installed on the street completing the sidewalk network in
the area.
Proposed works include:
- construction of new roads including new curbs, sidewalks, granular base and asphalt.
- both streets currently have road ditches. The ditches will be eliminated and a new storm sewer system will be built to urbanize the
streets. Consideration will be given to the installation of Low Impact Development (LID) controls such as perforated storm pipes,
bioswales in the boulevard, bioretention units as recommended in the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan for water quality improvement.
- construction of a new watermain
- minor manhole adjustments for the sanitary sewer system
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Town has also been moving towards a mobile workforce with the configuration of tablets that can be used to receive
service requests and work orders in the field. Through a secure VPN connection, Town Staff are able to access Maximo,
however the screens are not optimized for the tablets. Users need to pan and scroll to see all the content. At version 7.6,
IBM has rolled in the Maximo Everyplace mobile licence into the core product. Through the upgrade the Town will have
access to the “Everyplace Mobile” functionality and would not have to purchase additional mobile-specific licences. It will
also allow us to configure the screens for the tablets.
The upgrade would also keep the Town current with other enhancements that have been made to eliminate bugs that have
been found in previous versions. IBM is also moving away from java applets which will in turn alleviate the frequent pop-up
requests to update Java.
Software upgrade is part of the annual licence maintenance subscription service. Additional costs would be consulting
services to assist IT and IES functional leads with the upgrade.
This project would align with other IT projects as the current Maximo servers are scheduled for replacement in 2017. Project
was not included in the 2015 Ten year Capital Investment Plan.

73134 Parks/ Trails Signage Strategy Study & Implementation
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To establish consistency in park signage through the standardization of parks/trails signage.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To improve on the current service levels with the inclusion of accessibility devices to assist trails users.
To increase user awareness of Parks By-law.
To improve the trails system with appropriate directional signage.
To improve the Town's image and marketing of our parks and trails system.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Trails Master Plan recommends that the Town implement a signage strategy for all trails within the municipality as there are
inconsistencies in the level and appropriateness of our trail signs. This growth related issue is also evident in the parks system
where it is necessary to establish a consistent and non polluting system of signage. The first stage of the project was the
development of signage standards, branding and a proposed signage location plan. This was approved by Council in the 2011
Capital Budget. Council approved the final signage strategy on September 9, 2014 and directed staff to include the addition of GPS
accessibility features that were outlined in staff report PR14-037.
Report PR14-037 which was adopted by Council on August 12, 2014 identified the costs and phasing recommendations for
implementing the project.
Costs for the project include sign fabrication and installation and are based on external contract service providers. GPS accessibility
devises are included in the costs for phase 1 of this 4 phase project. Braille tactile graphics were not approved to be included on
signage and are not included in the project.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

73154 Playground Surface Restoration - Various Parks
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To maintain existing service level and safety standards in our parks and playground areas through the restoration of various park
playground surfaces.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To maintain and improve public safety.
To decrease risk of injury to children engaged in playground activity.
To decrease liability to the corporation in maintaining our parks and playgrounds in accordance with CSA standards.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services department maintains 32 children's playgrounds. It has been determined that wood
fiber mulch provides the maximum impact absorption when used as a fall protection surface in playground areas. As such, the
Parks division has embarked on a program whereby all of our new and existing playground safety surfaces have been prepared with
CSA certified wood fiber mulch. Staff have been upgrading pre-existing sand based protective surfaces for a number of years. In
addition, some of the earlier wood mulch protective surfaces require top dressing in order to maintain the required impact protection
levels.
Playgrounds scheduled to be upgraded with wood chip mulch in 2017 include the following parks:
Hickson
Town
Optimist
Thompson

73160 Emerald Ash Borer Management Program
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN : Supporting environmental stewardship and sustainability - Objective 1: Encouraging the stewardship
of Aurora's natural resources.
To manage the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation of the municipal street tree inventory, parks and wood lots, further funding is
required in support of this program. 2016 is Year 4 of 10 for this program.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To maintain public safety associated with the removal of dying and potentially dangerous trees.
To maintain acceptable neighborhood aesthetics.
To re-establish tree canopy by replacing trees that are removed.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The implementation of Year 5 of the EAB Management Plan will involve the continued treatment of approximately 900 ash street
trees. Not all ash street trees will qualify for treatment based on their declining condition as a result of EAB infestation. There is an
indication that the number of EAB infested trees was on the incline in 2014 based on the evidence of this insect infesting many trees
in the 2013 season and the removal of more than 66 street trees in 2013 and approximately 100 in 2014. As such, the situation is
unfolding as predicted in terms of timing and effects of this insect.
Staff are continuing to monitor the Ash tree inventory to gauge the effectiveness of the treatment program.
As per Council's approval of recommendations contained in Report PR13-031 ,The Town has contracted Green Lawn Limited for a
four year period to continue to inject candidate trees with TreeAzin and funds have been allocated to this treatment program. There
has been some revisions to the estimated costs based on actual tree sizes being somewhat larger than those estimated in the
Tree Inventory due to growth rates since the original inventory was recorded. This has resulted in a corresponding price increase for
the treatment of some trees. In addition, staff have added an amount for the removal and replacement of a number of trees each
year (approximately 100). As the EAB infestation reaches its peak, staff may be able to provide more accurate costs for removal and
replacement of trees. Moving forward trees can be replaced with trees grown in our two tree nurseries.
Staff will provide further information in an EAB update report which will outline in detail all aspects of the EAB Management Strategy
including recommendations on continuing with the treatment plan.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Convert 280 pathway lights from high pressure sodium to LED lighting.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Decrease in energy costs.
Increase in energy efficiency.
Increased lighting levels and public safety.

73291 Traffic Circle Improvements in 2B
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To remove unmanageable vegetation in traffic circles on Conover Avenue.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Increase ongoing landscaping maintenance efficiencies.
Decrease in ongoing maintenance requirements.
Improved area aesthetics.
Improve sight lines and traffic safety.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Since the introduction of traffic circles in the 2A and 2B development areas it has been difficult to maintain the landscaped centre
island features in these turning circles. The maintenance has been made significantly more difficult with the ban on herbicides that
were most effective in limiting weeds and unwanted vegetation that is constantly present in these landscaped areas.
This has resulted in increased costs associated with frequent manual removal of the unwanted vegetation in an effort to maintain
these areas to an acceptable state of appearance. Despite the best efforts of staff and contract service providers to maintain these
areas, it has become increasingly evident that a change in the landscape is necessary to improve efficiency and appearance. In
addition to maintenance requirements, there have been occasions where plant material has created a visual obstruction for
motorists entering and exiting the traffic circles and the associated safety related concerns.
It is proposed to remove all herbaceous plant material and replace it with more manageable turf grass, decorative rock and trees.
In a test project, staff successfully converted a single traffic circle on Gateway Drive in 2015 and plan to convert a second circle on
John West Way in 2016. These conversions were completed by in house resources and surplus materials that were already on
hand. (please see attached photos Hartwell and Conover (before) and Gateway Drive (after)).
Four turning circles on Conover Avenue have been identified to be converted in 2017 and an additional four circles on Mavrinac
Boulevard are planned for conversion in 2018.

41009 3 Phase Electrical Power - Pumping Stations
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To bring 3-Phase power to the Temperance Street and Ballymore/Trent Sanitary Pumping Stations. This will be a two phase project
with the Temperance St Pumping Station being changed out in 2016 and the Ballymore/Trent St Pumping Station being changed out
in in 2017.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Reduce the number of times the current pumps are clogging and operational costs of paying for a contractor to pull the pump and
remove the debris. This will also reduce the Town's risk of an environmental sewage spill in the event both pumps fail (due to
clogging) and the wet well backs up.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The electrical supply powering these 2 sanitary pumping stations is only Single Phase power. In order to change the existing pumps
to a larger/stronger non-clogging pump, 3-Phase Electrical power is required.
The funding originally requested in 2015 was insufficient to carry out either project as a result additional money is requested in 2016
to complete one of the pumping stations and the second pumping station will be completed in 2017.
Class B estimate.

43038 Water Meter Replacement Program
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Water meters are an important component of Aurora's Municipal Drinking Water System. Every residential, industrial, commercial,
and institutional customer is equipped with a water meter to track consumption. This ensures that each individual customer is
being billed for only the water they consume. The average life span of a residential water meter is 20 years.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all - Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure - Maintain and expand
infrastructure to support forecasted population growth through technology, waste management, roads, emergency services and
accessibility.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Water meters are mechanical devices and like all mechanical devices wear with age. For this reason they need to be replaced so
that the Town can ensure that the water meters are providing as accurate measurements as possible. Water meters were installed
here in Aurora in 1990, we currently have approximately 15,000 service connections and water meters.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The age of the majority of our water meters have hit 20 years old. Water meters are most accurate for the first 10 - 15 years, their
accuracy decreases as they wear to the benefit of the consumer. This reduction in accuracy has a negative impact on the revenue
stream for the Town of Aurora and it increases our water loss.This project is being funded from the water reserve however will be
overseen by both IES and Corporate and Financial Services Department as it relates to metering and revenues.
Class A estimate.
This will be the fourth year of a ten year program. Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment
Plan.

43044 Bulk Water Meter Installation
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
1. To install 2 bulk water meter chambers/backflow preventers at the Tarahill Condo Town home development off of Old Yonge Street
where there are currently 106 individual meters. The department has dealt with many billing disputes at this property.
2. To install 3 bulk water meter chambers/backflow preventers at the 2 Orchard Heights Plaza where there are currently 36
residential accounts and 42 commercial accounts. The department has dealt with many billing disputes over the years issues such
as multiple tenants on one meter tenants with little water use, with large and fluctuating consumption reads, private plumbers
altering the plumbing in the individual units and moving water meters.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The installation of the bulk water meters at the property line will ensure that the Town receives sufficient payment for every cubic
meter of water being used by the site. Upon completion of this project, billing disputes in relation to these sites should be virtually
eliminated as only a single bill will need to be issued to the site's property management company.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Tara Hill complex was built in the late 1980's and has 106 residential units which are billed separately. There have been issues
billing this complex especially as it relates to the common areas and sprinkler system. It is not our common business practice to
read individual meters at Condo type townhouse complexes. We would normally do a bulk read and it is up to the owner or property
management company to bill their tenants. Currently we are reading and billing 106 residential units (4 times per year). This is an
onerous task on our part administering 106 accounts. Our purposes would be better served if a single metering point/backflow
prevention was installed (to protect the Town's Distribution system) and a single water bill was produced for the entire property.
2 Orchard Heights Plaza was constructed before the Town began installing water meters on all properties. At the time of meter
installation, each unit at this property was metered. Since that time through various renovations it has become clear that the internal
metering is unreliable, and the Town is not collecting revenue for the water consumed. It is not our common business practice to
read individual meters at Commercial plaza's. Our purposes would be better served if a single metering point/backflow prevention
was installed (to protect the Town's Distribution system) and a single water bill was produced for the entire property.
This will be a two phase process, 2017 will see bulk water meters installed at 2 Orchard Heights and in 2018 the bulk water meters
will be installed at Tara Hill.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

42062 Flood Study for Tannery Creek
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for an update to the 1995 "Aurora Flood Relief Study" by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates". The project will be
delivered in 2 Parts: Part 1- update of the 1995 Study to be delivered in 2017 and Part 2 - implementation of study's
recommendations, to be delivered in 2019.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Aurora's CSWM-MP endorsed by Council in April 2016 recommends that: "the remediations measures for the seven (7) flood
damage centres noted in the 1995 Aurora Flood Relief Study by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates be implemented". The study needs
to be updated to confirm cost effective measures for channel and infrastructure improvements in 2017 dollars.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The purpose of the 1995 "Flood Relief Study" was to develop a program of practical and cost effective flood damage reduction
measures that would minimize potential flood damages and risk to life within the Tannery Creek in the Town of Aurora.
The main objectives for the study update are:
- update of the 1995 hydrologic and hydraulic models
- determine the magnitude of flood damage for various flood return storm frequencies and on-going changes to seasonal weather
patterns
- investigate cost effective flood damage reduction measures taking into account the fact that Ontario's infrastructure is vulnerable to
climate change impacts such as more frequent and more violent storms that cause flooding, decreasing the life cycle expectancy for
municipal infrastructure (i.e culverts, bridges, roads, storm pipes, ponds)
- determine a long term program of flood damage reduction
- establish infrastructure planning principles with consideration for investing in infrastructure that can stand up to the test of changing
climate.
- provide a list of recommendations for flood damage control and infrastructure upgrade
The study will be initiated in 2017 and its recommendations will be implemented in 2019.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan under the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan.

PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To ensure that the storm equalization tanks across Town function as intended and their design capacity is maintained and/or
restored.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Town maintains 20 storm equalization tanks in different locations across the Town. These storm tanks vary in both width
(diameter) from 1m to 4m (975mm to 4.27m) and in length from 14m to 102m.
The function of these storm tanks is to store stormwater and outlet it controlled either through an orifice tube or plate. The tanks
require regular inspection, assessment and maintenance so that grit and debris do not collect within the tank and at the restrictors
and cause any form of buildup or overflow beyond their design storage capacity.

PURPOSE:
To re-build approximately 370m of storm sewer from Yonge Street through the "Metro Plaza" at 1 Henderson Drive and onto Poplar
Crescent including approx. 250m of road on Poplar Crescent). The project will be delivered in 2 parts:
Part 1 - design work and contract documents preparation, to be delivered in 2017, and
Part 2 - construction to be delivered in 2019
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The Town has a storm main that flows from Yonge Street behind the "Metro Plaza" at 1 Henderson Drive and then onto Poplar
Crescent. Staff video-inspected the storm sewer in the spring of 2016 and found that it is in very poor condition, deformed and
broken and in need of repairs. This existing storm sewer is partially located beneath the plaza structure making any infrastructure
repairs impractical. A new sewer in a new alignment must be constructed. 250m of road on Poplar Crescent will also be
reconstructed as part of this project.
By undertaking this project, the Town will provide better maintenance and ensure the sewer infrastructure is in good condition.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
This project involves the replacing approximately 470m of 900mm storm sewer and reconstruction of 250m of road (on Poplar
Crescent) due to the storm sewer replacement. Re-routing of approximately 120m of 900mm diameter concrete storm sewer and
abandon the old sewer partially located under the plaza structure. The design will be delivered in 2017 and construction will take
place in 2019.
Works will include:
- replace 470m of 900mm storm sewer
- relocate approx. 120m of 900mm concrete storm sewer and connect it to the main sewer line
- abandon existing sewer under the building
- provide new manholes
- connect existing catchbasins to the new sewer
- restore the parking lot in the plaza
- restore 250m of road on Poplar Crescent

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To reshingle the roof and paint the band shell/washroom at Town Park.
APPROVED PENDING A FURTHER REPORT TO COUNCIL
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To enhance the appearance of the band shell facility.
To prolong the life cycling of the band shell facility.
To maintain high profile image and standards of the band shell facility.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The band shell and washroom facilities were constructed in 2001 in conjunction with the Town Park redevelopment Master Plan
Project. The facilities have provided a high level of service and profile within the municipality in the hosting of numerous events and
concerts since 2001 without a great deal of investment in the building infrastructure or major upgrades.
The original roofing consists of an architectural asphalt based shingle which has served its useful life and now requires
replacement in order to protect the building roof and wooden timber structure. It is proposed to remove and replace the existing
shingles with a similar product with an estimated useable service life of 30 years. In addition, the band shell and washroom exterior
structure surfaces will be prepared and refinished with the appropriate paint and stains as necessary.

73223 Replace Artificial Turf- Sheppards Bush
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To replace aging artificial turf at Sheppard's Bush.
APPROVED PENDING A FURTHER REPORT TO COUNCIL
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To increase service life of existing infrastructure.
To reduce risk of infrastructure failure.
To reduce risk of sports related injury.
To improve playing field conditions.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Artificial turf was installed at Sheppards Bush and has been operational since the 2007 playing season. At the time of installation, the manufacturer
indicated that with regular grooming and maintenance a useful life expectancy of 7 to 10 years should be considered the maximum in terms of the
stability and performance of both the fibrous and in fill materials which make up the turf system. Life expectancy was dependant on the use of the
facility. Staff have confirmed that a total of 17,503 hours of play has occurred on this facility since the original installation with an annual
maintenance cost of approximately $1,500.00. The turf is exhibiting signs of wear and breakdown (e.g. loss of fibre and destabilization of fibre)
from the amount of use and exposure to the elements. Staff do not recommend prolonging the use of the current surface as this facility is crucial to
the needs of Aurora Youth Soccer and other users. A further deteriorated surface or a major failure of the surface during the playing season would
have a major impact on the user group programs.
The original business case presented to Council,showed that there was a considerable benefit to the community sports groups with the installation of
artificial turf which far exceeded the capital costs associated with replacement of the turf on a 10 year cycle. Benefits included significantly reduced
maintenance costs, longer playing season and a much safer playing surface. This remains the case and the Town has installed a second artificial
turf facility.
Staff are exploring options to recycle the existing used artificial turf and in fill material and will continue to do so in an effort to avoid disposing of the
material in a landfill. Research indicates that there are several outlets that have developed a process to recycle this material for use in other useful
products. Prior to proceeding with the project, staff will confirm the manner in which the existing material will be disposed .
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

73277 Willow Farm Trail Improvements*
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To repair and replace the gabion stone retaining wall and barrier fencing to stabilize ravine banks on the trail system and to install
fencing to improve safety.
APPROVED ON THE CONDITION THAT WE RECEIVE CANADA 150 INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To increase safety and increase the functionality of the trail.
To increase longevity of the trail system.
To reduce trail maintenance.
To decrease the risks and liability associated with non standard protective barriers and declining infrastructure.
The benefit of undertaking this project would be decreased trail repair costs and an increase in customer satisfaction with Aurora's
trail system.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
In the late 1980's, the developer installed a gabion wall and fencing to stabilize a ravine bank in the green space that abuts the rear
of many houses along Willow Farm Lane. In addition, a trail was also created in the green space for pedestrian use. The wall has
shifted and the fencing has deteriorated over the years which has caused problems in the maintenance along the trail as well as
raising safety concerns for users. The repairs will stabilize the slope, improve the trail conditions and eliminate the risk to the public.
An application has been submitted to the Canada150 Community Infrastructure Program for Rehabilitation of Willow Farm Trail.
Should our application not be successful, the project will not be undertaken.
Project was not included in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

12002 Accessibility Committee
Corporate Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the implementation of the 2016-2022 priorities as decided upon by the Accessibility Committee. The 2016-
2022 Accessibility Plan will build upon previously adopted Accessibility Plans and continue to identify and remove barriers for people
with disabilities in Town goals, services and facilities.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The effectiveness of the Accessibility Advisory Committee is dependent upon funding being made available for the action of its
established Accessibility Plan. By allowing action of this plan through the provision of funding, the Town of Aurora will be contributing
toward the achievement of its goal of continuing to identify and remove barriers for people with disabilities in Town goods, services
and facilities.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Responsibility for the Accessibility Advisory Committee and plan implementation is with Corporate Services and the Accessibility
Advisor.
The Ontarians with Disabilites Act (ODA) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) places a statutory duty on
municipalities to identify and remove barriers to access services that affect persons with disabilities. In addition, Accessibility
Committees are a statutory requirement.
The Accessibility Advisory Committee recommends to Council plans to remove barriers that have been identified on an annual
basis. The Committee's plan is adopted by Council annually. This project allows the implementation of the approved plan.
For 2017, the $125,000 requested, as outlined in the Town's Accessibility Plan, is to be used for audible pedestrian signal at the
intersection of Yonge St and Edward St. ($75,000); and Machell Park - accessible lighting ($50,000)
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

14047 Computer & Related Infrastructure Renewal
Corporate Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To undertake the annual replacement cycle purchases of IT equipment for the Town of Aurora. Funding for this initiative is required
annually.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
In order to maintain an acceptable fleet of computer equipment servicing the needs and requirements of the Town business, the
evergreening of this equipment is necessary.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
In an effort to streamline costs and to help reduce the environmental impact, the desktop and laptop evergreening cycle changed to
seven years in 2013. Server replacement schedules reflect on average a ten year cycle. Replacement cycle changes, have resulted
in an uneven expenditure over the next several years.
Based on current IT inventories there is equipment that will be targeted for replacement in 2017. This amount will allow for the
replacement of those identified computers, laptops and servers/network infrastructure elements critical to our ongoing business
operations. The replacement cycle includes the following: desktops, monitors, laptops, tablets, servers, SAN (Storage Area
Network) hardware, blades and enclosures, firewall, security appliances, and switches.
In 2017, we need to replace two application servers, one used for the Cityview application and the other for the Maximo application.
The server that Cityview runs on requires replacement of end of life Windows server operating system and SQL. Replacement will
maintain current operating system technology for compliance with vendor applications and will provide the latest updates to security,
new features, enhancements and functionality. In order to move forward with the Maximo Upgrade to 7.6, capital project 31153, it is
mandatory that we upgrade from Windows Server 2008 and SQL 2008 to Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2012.

Description
PURPOSE:
To replace and upgrade the existing wireless infrastructure to meet current wireless standards and to supply all Town facilities with
the same wireless infrastructure.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Supporting one type of wireless infrastructure across all facilities is more efficient for staff. This project will be phased in to all
facilities over a 3 year period.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
In our mobile first society, visitors to all Town facilities have come to expect wireless service to be available to them. This upgrade
will ensure that both the Corporate wireless and the Guest wireless network meet the demands of both staff and visitors to each of
the Town facilities. In addition, the new technology will provide flexibility and other new service features that will give staff options for
expanding the wireless service offering if desired at a later date.

72238 Town Hall - Council Chambers A/V System Upgrades
Financial Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To obtain additional funding to support two previously approved projects, 72238 Council Chambers AV System and 12029
Streaming Sub-Committees Via Internet. Staff have gone to market and evaluated a proposal that exceeds the current approved
budget. The systems and infrastructure that currently support the Council Chamber are outdated and well past their useful life cycle.
This project replaces our old analogue technology and introduces current digital Internet Protocol (IP) based technology.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Equipment has been failing. Staff has taken a strategic look at the requirements for the Chamber and the Holland Room. In addition
to updating the system to current technology, the renovation improves our accessibility features to support a more open and
accessible government. The impacts of not proceeding include a high risk of failure of current audio and video systems. If we miss
the window to proceed during the December Council recess, it will require relocation of numerous Council meetings resulting in
disruption and a significant cost. Delays impact the delivery of the Meeting Management system functionality and Council Chambers
systems integration. Further costs may be incurred.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The renovation involves removing all the old systems in the audio video room and introducing a new rack where all the new
equipment for the system will be installed. Accessibility features of this project include a height adjustable lectern for
delegation/presentations going from seated to a full standing height, higher quality video cameras and streaming technology
complete with closed captioning capabilities, curved, light rejecting, high contrast front projection screens to support a higher quality
laser phosphor projector with HD resolution (sharper clarity) as well as assisted listening device. Also included is the removal of the
wooden frame to improve ramp mobility. Other key features are introducing a voting system for Council with a queuing mechanism
and improved audio. New cabling will be introduced to support the new system. System functionality will be extended to the Holland
Room for committee meetings and also includes overflow capabilities for the lobby area. Also included is an overflow room for
Council meetings (Holland Room) that is tied directly into the system and leverages the same functionality as the Council Chamber.
Labour and programming are another key aspect for this highly integrated, easy to use system.

72182 Facilities - 3 Stream - Recycling Containers
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Standardization of recycling containers throughout the Town, by adding three stream containers to all facilities.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Standardization will improve diversion rates helping us implement our Zero Waste policy as outlined in our Corporate Environmental
Action Plan.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Corporate Environmental Action Plan aims to reduce corporate waste going to landfill through reduction and diversion programs
at Town facilities and corporate events. To help achieve this objective, a Zero Waste Transition Program has been rolled out using 3-
stream containers (recycling, organics and garbage) in some Town facilities, though there are a variety of stand alone garbage
containers, and 2-stream bins that remain in service. To achieve greater waste diversion all Town buildings will require 3-stream
recycling stations, ensuring that recycling and organics collection is equally convenient to staff and the public. By expanding and
standardizing our containers at each Town facility, we will ensure that barriers to waste diversion are removed, and the Zero Waste
Transition Program is successful.

72201 Work Station Refresh Carpet Paint
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
The office facilities are dated and we are not using the Town Hall space to maximize optimal space planning requirements. The goal
is to balance out space requirements and refresh the work space. Most of the system furniture is original and requires an ergonomic
update and revised space plan. Carpet is thread worn in areas and overall the working environment has not been updated in
decades.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Touring the staff office space, it is clear that some team members have too much space while others have too little space for their job function. The
goal is to balance out the space requirements and create collaborative areas, better work space flow and to reduce the workstation heights so
people are less siloed. The impact is that we have staff working in better optimized space and increase the overall work flow for each department.
We do not use our limited square footage efficiently and we are wasting valuable Real Estate and thus running out of space. Some team members
have job functions that are critical to the Town's operations yet are working in an antiquated space that limits how they work. Staffing is one of the
higher costs the Town has as a fixed expense. We need to ensure that we are optimizing our physical space as presently we are not and this is
costing the Town in staff productivity. It is included in the 10 year capital plan.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The plan is to space plan the floor plate and have team discussions on workflows and what staff requirements are and to have
standards for job functions. Work stations would be either refreshed/ replaced with new workstations and the flooring would be
replaced with carpet tiles and walls would be repainted to one building standard. Each year, we would renovate a section of the
building and continue until the all work spaces are completed. This is a multi-year plan as we want to slowly phase in sections of
the building to reduce disruptions.
As the Town grows in population and the needs/demands increase, we need to be able to adapt to the changing work requirements,
currently we have very little swing space and no room to grow, reworking the existing space is more cost effective than building
additions.

72269 AED Replacement - Various Locations
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To purchase Physio - Control Automated External Defibrillator machines to meet the needs and demands of our programs and
services.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
AED machines reduces risk for the Corporation where we provide public service to Aurora residents (i.e. community centres, arenas,
fitness gym, pools, Town Hall)
Increases the chance of survival when an individual is unresponsive and not breathing.
High probability in having participants with heart attacks in our facilities such as the fitness centre, pools, hockey arenas, public
areas where we are all inclusive regardless of age and ability.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The machines that need to be replaced were purchased in 2004-5. The manufacturer's shelf life and American Heart Association
standards with AED's is 5 years overdue. Two new machines will be used as roving machines to support Corporate Special Events.
Currently the Town runs 15 large scale events throughout the year within 38 program days. There are instances when there are two
events that are running concurrently on the same day (i.e. Canada Day).
Benefits of roving machines used for special events: Cover large scale events, where there are large number of Aurora residents
that will be participating (i.e. parade). During the times, when the machines is not used, it can be used to run Lunch and Learn
sessions or act as a replacement machines once an AED is used in real life. Currently, there is not an extra AED machine that the
Town can use to replace a machine that was used in real life (i.e. Disruption of Service).

72277 ACC - Improvements - Canada 150 Intake II*
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
The municipality would like to make the following improvements, updates and upgrades to the Aurora Community Centre:
- upgrade current ice plant motor controls center panel;
- replace shell and tube brine chillers in both arenas, including brine pumps with more energy efficient models; and
- replace reciprocating ammonia compressor originally installed 40 years ago with a more efficient model.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Economic benefits that will result from this project include, but are not limited to the following:
- decreased energy consumption associated with energy consumption through the shell and tube chillers, pumps and compressor;
- increase safety of the facility with the replacement of the electrical panel;
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
This project would assist the municipality in addressing the following problems:
- help manage the escalating energy costs due to rising prices and non-energy efficient equipment; and
- reduce ongoing maintenance and repairs costs of the facility due to its age.
An application has been submitted to the Canada150 Community Infrastructure Program for improvements to the ACC to include:
motor control ice plant upgrade and replacement of two chillers as well as the under floor shell and the heat exchanger.
Should our application not be successful, the project will be broken out into individual projects and spread out across the the out
years as originally planned.
Project was not included in the 2015 Ten year Capital Investment Plan.

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the reconstruction of the roadway, watermain and the installation of an oil/grit separator. This project includes
the reconstruction of Brookland Avenue from Yonge Street to Banbury Court.
The project will be carried out in 2 parts, design in 2015 and reconstruction in 2017. The project scope is to improve the road
condition, the safety of traveling public both drivers and pedestrians and address any drainage issues.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting and exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure -
maintain and expand infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The reconstruction of this infrastructure should lessen maintenance activities.
Class "D" estimate
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
On the 0 - 100 PCI (Pavement Condition Index) scale, a rating of less than 25 for residential streets results in the street section(s) in

31108 Reconstruction - Algonquin Crescent and Haida Drive (Sections)
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the reconstruction of the roadway, watermain and storm sewer infrastructure. The project includes the
reconstruction of Algonquin Crescent (approximately 466m) and a section of Haida Drive from Algonquin Crescent to Aurora Heights
Drive (approximately 90m). The project will be carried out in 2 parts, design in 2015 and reconstruction in 2017. The project scope is
to improve the road condition, the safety of traveling public (drivers and pedestrians) and address drainage issues.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure -
maintain and expand infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The reconstruction of this infrastructure should lessen maintenance activities. There was a lot of feedback from residents during the
reconstruction of Kemano Road, Sioux Gate and Foreht Crescent requesting the reconstruction of Algonquin Crescent and Haida
Drive from Algonquin Crescent to Aurora Heights to eliminate the ditches, as these two roads are the only ones in the area without
curbs and gutters. Elimination of ditches will enable the extension of the sidewalk in the area. These two streets are the only ones in
the area without a sidewalk.
Class "D" estimate
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
On the 0 - 100 PCI (Pavement Condition Index) scale, a rating of less than 25 results in the streets in question being in the "Failed"
category. The PCI of the streets to be reconstructed are: Algonquin = 73, Haida Drive from Algonquin to Aurora Heights = 63. These
streets are the only 2 streets without sidewalk in an area with 3 elementary schools (Devins Dr. P.S., Aurora Heights P.S. and Our
Lady of Grace Elementary). By eliminating the ditches, a sidewalk will be installed on the street completing the sidewalk network in
the area.
Proposed works include:
- construction of new roads including new curbs, sidewalks, granular base and asphalt.
- both streets currently have road ditches. The ditches will be eliminated and a new storm sewer system will be built to urbanize the
streets. Consideration will be given to the installation of Low Impact Development (LID) controls such as perforated storm pipes,
bioswales in the boulevard, bioretention units as recommended in the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan for water quality improvement.
- construction of a new watermain
- minor manhole adjustments for the sanitary sewer system
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

31153 Maximo Upgrade to 7.6+
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To upgrade Maximo to version 7.6. IBM Maximo v7.5 was the chosen software for the Work and Asset Management System (WAMS).
Maximo is used to keep track of assets, manage preventative maintenance schedules and record work/maintenance done against
the asset. Since the original implementation, there have been several patch upgrades and more recently version 7.6 was released.
Each release offers enhanced functionality and fixes bugs found in the software.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all – Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure.
Maintain and expand infrastructure to support forecasted population growth through technology, waste management, roads,
emergency services and accessibility.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Greater staff compliance and buy in for Maximo.
Greater flexibility/functionality for mobile workforce.
Take advantage of fixes for software bugs and other enhancements.
Aligns with other IT projects to maintain back-end servers, databases and other hardware requirements.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Town has also been moving towards a mobile workforce with the configuration of tablets that can be used to receive
service requests and work orders in the field. Through a secure VPN connection, Town Staff are able to access Maximo,
however the screens are not optimized for the tablets. Users need to pan and scroll to see all the content. At version 7.6,
IBM has rolled in the Maximo Everyplace mobile licence into the core product. Through the upgrade the Town will have
access to the “Everyplace Mobile” functionality and would not have to purchase additional mobile-specific licences. It will
also allow us to configure the screens for the tablets.
The upgrade would also keep the Town current with other enhancements that have been made to eliminate bugs that have
been found in previous versions. IBM is also moving away from java applets which will in turn alleviate the frequent pop-up
requests to update Java.
Software upgrade is part of the annual licence maintenance subscription service. Additional costs would be consulting
services to assist IT and IES functional leads with the upgrade.
This project would align with other IT projects as the current Maximo servers are scheduled for replacement in 2017. Project
was not included in the 2015 Ten year Capital Investment Plan.

34613 Sidewalk Repair- St John's Sdrd - Gateway to Industrial Pkwy
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Improve sidewalk and boulevard drainage on St. John's Sideroad from Gateway Drive to the watercourse (approximately 210 east of
Industrial Parkway North). The project is scheduled to be delivered in 2 parts: Part 1 - design and obtain Region's approval in 2017
and Part 2 - construction in 2018.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Lessen maintenance activities and avoid hazardous travel conditions for pedestrians during winter months.
This section of sidewalk on the south side of St. John's Sideroad from Gateway Drive to approximately 220m west is subject to
excessive icing during winter. Run-off from the adjacent properties freezes when coming in contact with the sidewalk creating
hazardous travel conditions for pedestrians.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Improve drainage on sidewalk and boulevard to avoid water pooling and icing in the winter time.
Works will include:
- installation of approximately 200m of small concrete retaining wall (0.5m high) behind the sidewalk
- construction of a cut-off swale to carry the run-off west to the wetland and prevent it from crossing the sidewalk and generate the
freeze thaw conditions in winter time
- the design will be undertaken in-house. $25,000 in cunsulting fees have been requested for 2017 for survey work.
- work will be performed on the south side of St. John's Sideroad only.
Project was included in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan, but advanced to 2017.

73134 Parks/ Trails Signage Strategy Study & Implementation
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To establish consistency in park signage through the standardization of parks/trails signage.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To improve on the current service levels with the inclusion of accessibility devices to assist trails users.
To increase user awareness of Parks By-law.
To improve the trails system with appropriate directional signage.
To improve the Town's image and marketing of our parks and trails system.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Trails Master Plan recommends that the Town implement a signage strategy for all trails within the municipality as there are
inconsistencies in the level and appropriateness of our trail signs. This growth related issue is also evident in the parks system
where it is necessary to establish a consistent and non polluting system of signage. The first stage of the project was the
development of signage standards, branding and a proposed signage location plan. This was approved by Council in the 2011
Capital Budget. Council approved the final signage strategy on September 9, 2014 and directed staff to include the addition of GPS
accessibility features that were outlined in staff report PR14-037.
Report PR14-037 which was adopted by Council on August 12, 2014 identified the costs and phasing recommendations for
implementing the project.
Costs for the project include sign fabrication and installation and are based on external contract service providers. GPS accessibility
devises are included in the costs for phase 1 of this 4 phase project. Braille tactile graphics were not approved to be included on
signage and are not included in the project.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

73154 Playground Surface Restoration - Various Parks
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To maintain existing service level and safety standards in our parks and playground areas through the restoration of various park
playground surfaces.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To maintain and improve public safety.
To decrease risk of injury to children engaged in playground activity.
To decrease liability to the corporation in maintaining our parks and playgrounds in accordance with CSA standards.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services department maintains 32 children's playgrounds. It has been determined that wood
fiber mulch provides the maximum impact absorption when used as a fall protection surface in playground areas. As such, the
Parks division has embarked on a program whereby all of our new and existing playground safety surfaces have been prepared with
CSA certified wood fiber mulch. Staff have been upgrading pre-existing sand based protective surfaces for a number of years. In
addition, some of the earlier wood mulch protective surfaces require top dressing in order to maintain the required impact protection
levels.
Playgrounds scheduled to be upgraded with wood chip mulch in 2017 include the following parks:
Hickson
Town
Optimist
Thompson
Taylor

73160 Emerald Ash Borer Management Program
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN : Supporting environmental stewardship and sustainability - Objective 1: Encouraging the stewardship
of Aurora's natural resources.
To manage the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation of the municipal street tree inventory, parks and wood lots, further funding is
required in support of this program. 2016 is Year 4 of 10 for this program.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To maintain public safety associated with the removal of dying and potentially dangerous trees.
To maintain acceptable neighborhood aesthetics.
To re-establish tree canopy by replacing trees that are removed.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The implementation of Year 5 of the EAB Management Plan will involve the continued treatment of approximately 900 ash street
trees. Not all ash street trees will qualify for treatment based on their declining condition as a result of EAB infestation. There is an
indication that the number of EAB infested trees was on the incline in 2014 based on the evidence of this insect infesting many trees
in the 2013 season and the removal of more than 66 street trees in 2013 and approximately 100 in 2014. As such, the situation is
unfolding as predicted in terms of timing and effects of this insect.
Staff are continuing to monitor the Ash tree inventory to gauge the effectiveness of the treatment program.
As per Council's approval of recommendations contained in Report PR13-031 ,The Town has contracted Green Lawn Limited for a
four year period to continue to inject candidate trees with TreeAzin and funds have been allocated to this treatment program. There
has been some revisions to the estimated costs based on actual tree sizes being somewhat larger than those estimated in the
Tree Inventory due to growth rates since the original inventory was recorded. This has resulted in a corresponding price increase for
the treatment of some trees. In addition, staff have added an amount for the removal and replacement of a number of trees each
year (approximately 100). As the EAB infestation reaches its peak, staff may be able to provide more accurate costs for removal and
replacement of trees. Moving forward trees can be replaced with trees grown in our two tree nurseries.
Staff will provide further information in an EAB update report which will outline in detail all aspects of the EAB Management Strategy
including recommendations on continuing with the treatment plan.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

73289 LED - Convert Pathway Lighting
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Convert 280 pathway lights from high pressure sodium to LED lighting.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Decrease in energy costs.
Increase in energy efficiency.
Increased lighting levels and public safety.
Increase in lamp life cycling.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
With the ongoing technological improvements associated with LED Lighting, it is now feasible to re-lamp all park pathway lighting
equipment with improved and more efficient LED luminaires. This can be achieved by removing the existing high pressure sodium
lamp and installing a LED lamp. All other lighting components will remain in place thereby avoiding the need to replace the entire
light fixture.
Conversion of all municipal street lights has been a successful endeavour and based on the advancements in LED technology in
park related lighting staff see significant benefit in completing the conversion of all park walkway lighting.

73291 Traffic Circle Improvements in 2B
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To remove unmanageable vegetation in traffic circles on Conover Avenue.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Increase ongoing landscaping maintenance efficiencies.
Decrease in ongoing maintenance requirements.
Improved area aesthetics.
Improve sight lines and traffic safety.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Since the introduction of traffic circles in the 2A and 2B development areas it has been difficult to maintain the landscaped centre
island features in these turning circles. The maintenance has been made significantly more difficult with the ban on herbicides that
were most effective in limiting weeds and unwanted vegetation that is constantly present in these landscaped areas.
This has resulted in increased costs associated with frequent manual removal of the unwanted vegetation in an effort to maintain
these areas to an acceptable state of appearance. Despite the best efforts of staff and contract service providers to maintain these
areas, it has become increasingly evident that a change in the landscape is necessary to improve efficiency and appearance. In
addition to maintenance requirements, there have been occasions where plant material has created a visual obstruction for
motorists entering and exiting the traffic circles and the associated safety related concerns.
It is proposed to remove all herbaceous plant material and replace it with more manageable turf grass, decorative rock and trees.
In a test project, staff successfully converted a single traffic circle on Gateway Drive in 2015 and plan to convert a second circle on
John West Way in 2016. These conversions were completed by in house resources and surplus materials that were already on
hand. (please see attached photos Hartwell and Conover (before) and Gateway Drive (after)).
Four turning circles on Conover Avenue have been identified to be converted in 2017 and an additional four circles on Mavrinac
Boulevard are planned for conversion in 2018.

41009 3 Phase Electrical Power - Pumping Stations
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To bring 3-Phase power to the Temperance Street and Ballymore/Trent Sanitary Pumping Stations. This will be a two phase project
with the Temperance St Pumping Station being changed out in 2016 and the Ballymore/Trent St Pumping Station being changed out
in in 2017.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Reduce the number of times the current pumps are clogging and operational costs of paying for a contractor to pull the pump and
remove the debris. This will also reduce the Town's risk of an environmental sewage spill in the event both pumps fail (due to
clogging) and the wet well backs up.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The electrical supply powering these 2 sanitary pumping stations is only Single Phase power. In order to change the existing pumps
to a larger/stronger non-clogging pump, 3-Phase Electrical power is required.
The funding originally requested in 2015 was insufficient to carry out either project as a result additional money is requested in 2016
to complete one of the pumping stations and the second pumping station will be completed in 2017.

43038 Water Meter Replacement Program
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
Water meters are an important component of Aurora's Municipal Drinking Water System. Every residential, industrial, commercial,
and institutional customer is equipped with a water meter to track consumption. This ensures that each individual customer is
being billed for only the water they consume. The average life span of a residential water meter is 20 years.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all - Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure - Maintain and expand
infrastructure to support forecasted population growth through technology, waste management, roads, emergency services and
accessibility.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Water meters are mechanical devices and like all mechanical devices wear with age. For this reason they need to be replaced so
that the Town can ensure that the water meters are providing as accurate measurements as possible. Water meters were installed
here in Aurora in 1990, we currently have approximately 15,000 service connections and water meters.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The age of the majority of our water meters have hit 20 years old. Water meters are most accurate for the first 10 - 15 years, their
accuracy decreases as they wear to the benefit of the consumer. This reduction in accuracy has a negative impact on the revenue
stream for the Town of Aurora and it increases our water loss.This project is being funded from the water reserve however will be
overseen by both IES and Corporate and Financial Services Department as it relates to metering and revenues.
Class A estimate.
This will be the fourth year of a ten year program. Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment

43044 Bulk Water Meter Installation
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
1. To install 2 bulk water meter chambers/backflow preventers at the Tarahill Condo Town home development off of Old Yonge Street
where there are currently 106 individual meters. The department has dealt with many billing disputes at this property.
2. To install 3 bulk water meter chambers/backflow preventers at the 2 Orchard Heights Plaza where there are currently 36
residential accounts and 42 commercial accounts. The department has dealt with many billing disputes over the years issues such
as multiple tenants on one meter tenants with little water use, with large and fluctuating consumption reads, private plumbers
altering the plumbing in the individual units and moving water meters.
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
The installation of the bulk water meters at the property line will ensure that the Town receives sufficient payment for every cubic
meter of water being used by the site. Upon completion of this project, billing disputes in relation to these sites should be virtually
eliminated as only a single bill will need to be issued to the site's property management company.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Tara Hill complex was built in the late 1980's and has 106 residential units which are billed separately. There have been issues
billing this complex especially as it relates to the common areas and sprinkler system. It is not our common business practice to
read individual meters at Condo type townhouse complexes. We would normally do a bulk read and it is up to the owner or property
management company to bill their tenants. Currently we are reading and billing 106 residential units (4 times per year). This is an
onerous task on our part administering 106 accounts. Our purposes would be better served if a single metering point/backflow
prevention was installed (to protect the Town's Distribution system) and a single water bill was produced for the entire property.
2 Orchard Heights Plaza was constructed before the Town began installing water meters on all properties. At the time of meter
installation, each unit at this property was metered. Since that time through various renovations it has become clear that the internal
metering is unreliable, and the Town is not collecting revenue for the water consumed. It is not our common business practice to
read individual meters at Commercial plaza's. Our purposes would be better served if a single metering point/backflow prevention
was installed (to protect the Town's Distribution system) and a single water bill was produced for the entire property.
This will be a two phase process, 2017 will see bulk water meters installed at 2 Orchard Heights and in 2018 the bulk water meters
will be installed at Tara Hill.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

42062 Flood Study for Tannery Creek
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for an update to the 1995 "Aurora Flood Relief Study" by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates". The project will be
delivered in 2 Parts: Part 1- update of the 1995 Study to be delivered in 2017 and Part 2 - implementation of study's
recommendations, to be delivered in 2019.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
Aurora's CSWM-MP endorsed by Council in April 2016 recommends that: "the remediations measures for the seven (7) flood
damage centres noted in the 1995 Aurora Flood Relief Study by Totten Sims Hubicki Associates be implemented". The study needs
to be updated to confirm cost effective measures for channel and infrastructure improvements in 2017 dollars.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The purpose of the 1995 "Flood Relief Study" was to develop a program of practical and cost effective flood damage reduction
measures that would minimize potential flood damages and risk to life within the Tannery Creek in the Town of Aurora.
The main objectives for the study update are:
- update of the 1995 hydrologic and hydraulic models
- determine the magnitude of flood damage for various flood return storm frequencies and on-going changes to seasonal weather
patterns
- investigate cost effective flood damage reduction measures taking into account the fact that Ontario's infrastructure is vulnerable to
climate change impacts such as more frequent and more violent storms that cause flooding, decreasing the life cycle expectancy for
municipal infrastructure (i.e culverts, bridges, roads, storm pipes, ponds)
- determine a long term program of flood damage reduction
- establish infrastructure planning principles with consideration for investing in infrastructure that can stand up to the test of changing
climate.
- provide a list of recommendations for flood damage control and infrastructure upgrade
The study will be initiated in 2017 and its recommendations will be implemented in 2019.
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan under the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan.

42065 Oversized Storm Pipe Assessment and Clean Up
Infrastructure & Environmental Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To provide funding for the clean-up and maintenance of 20 storm "superpipes" (storm equalization tanks) across the Town. A
contractor will be hired to inspect, assess and clean-up the pipes if needed.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all, Objective 2: Invest in sustainable infrastructure -
maintain and expand infrastructure
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To ensure that the storm equalization tanks across Town function as intended and their design capacity is maintained and/or
restored.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The Town maintains 20 storm equalization tanks in different locations across the Town. These storm tanks vary in both width
(diameter) from 1m to 4m (975mm to 4.27m) and in length from 14m to 102m.
The function of these storm tanks is to store stormwater and outlet it controlled either through an orifice tube or plate. The tanks
require regular inspection, assessment and maintenance so that grit and debris do not collect within the tank and at the restrictors
and cause any form of buildup or overflow beyond their design storage capacity.

Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To reshingle the roof and paint the band shell/washroom at Town Park.
APPROVED PENDING A FURTHER REPORT TO COUNCIL
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To enhance the appearance of the band shell facility.
To prolong the life cycling of the band shell facility.
To maintain high profile image and standards of the band shell facility.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
The band shell and washroom facilities were constructed in 2001 in conjunction with the Town Park redevelopment Master Plan
Project. The facilities have provided a high level of service and profile within the municipality in the hosting of numerous events and
concerts since 2001 without a great deal of investment in the building infrastructure or major upgrades.
The original roofing consists of an architectural asphalt based shingle which has served its useful life and now requires
replacement in order to protect the building roof and wooden timber structure. It is proposed to remove and replace the existing
shingles with a similar product with an estimated useable service life of 30 years. In addition, the band shell and washroom exterior
structure surfaces will be prepared and refinished with the appropriate paint and stains as necessary.

73223 Replace Artificial Turf- Sheppards Bush
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To replace aging artificial turf at Sheppard's Bush.
APPROVED PENDING A FURTHER REPORT TO COUNCIL
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To increase service life of existing infrastructure.
To reduce risk of infrastructure failure.
To reduce risk of sports related injury.
To improve playing field conditions.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
Artificial turf was installed at Sheppards Bush and has been operational since the 2007 playing season. At the time of installation, the manufacturer
indicated that with regular grooming and maintenance a useful life expectancy of 7 to 10 years should be considered the maximum in terms of the
stability and performance of both the fibrous and in fill materials which make up the turf system. Life expectancy was dependant on the use of the
facility. Staff have confirmed that a total of 17,503 hours of play has occurred on this facility since the original installation with an annual
maintenance cost of approximately $1,500.00. The turf is exhibiting signs of wear and breakdown (e.g. loss of fibre and destabilization of fibre)
from the amount of use and exposure to the elements. Staff do not recommend prolonging the use of the current surface as this facility is crucial to
the needs of Aurora Youth Soccer and other users. A further deteriorated surface or a major failure of the surface during the playing season would
have a major impact on the user group programs.
The original business case presented to Council,showed that there was a considerable benefit to the community sports groups with the installation of
artificial turf which far exceeded the capital costs associated with replacement of the turf on a 10 year cycle. Benefits included significantly reduced
maintenance costs, longer playing season and a much safer playing surface. This remains the case and the Town has installed a second artificial
turf facility.
Staff are exploring options to recycle the existing used artificial turf and in fill material and will continue to do so in an effort to avoid disposing of the
material in a landfill. Research indicates that there are several outlets that have developed a process to recycle this material for use in other useful
products. Prior to proceeding with the project, staff will confirm the manner in which the existing material will be disposed .
Project was included in the 2017 year in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.

73277 Willow Farm Trail Improvements*
Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
Final Approved Budget 2017
Description
PURPOSE:
To repair and replace the gabion stone retaining wall and barrier fencing to stabilize ravine banks on the trail system and to install
fencing to improve safety.
APPROVED ON THE CONDITION THAT WE RECEIVE CANADA 150 INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT
PERFORMANCE/ACTIVITY IMPACTS:
To increase safety and increase the functionality of the trail.
To increase longevity of the trail system.
To reduce trail maintenance.
To decrease the risks and liability associated with non standard protective barriers and declining infrastructure.
The benefit of undertaking this project would be decreased trail repair costs and an increase in customer satisfaction with Aurora's
trail system.
EXPLANATION/HIGHLIGHTS
In the late 1980's, the developer installed a gabion wall and fencing to stabilize a ravine bank in the green space that abuts the rear
of many houses along Willow Farm Lane. In addition, a trail was also created in the green space for pedestrian use. The wall has
shifted and the fencing has deteriorated over the years which has caused problems in the maintenance along the trail as well as
raising safety concerns for users. The repairs will stabilize the slope, improve the trail conditions and eliminate the risk to the public.
An application has been submitted to the Canada150 Community Infrastructure Program for Rehabilitation of Willow Farm Trail.
Should our application not be successful, the project will not be undertaken.
Project was not included in the 2015 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.
