PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
To continue to source and acquire the Joint Operations Centre LAN room equipment to make the building ready (already 70%
completed) for an off site network disaster recovery and business continuity site.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
This project will provide the corporation with the necessary hardware for the business continuity site at the JOC. This second
site will provide redundancy for critical systems in case of primary site (Town Hall) failure.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
The benefits are primarily internal. This new site will provide additional capacity for future new systems and allow rapid
deployment of new servers. This site will be used as backup storage in case of total data corruption or loss at primary site
(Town Hall) due to disaster such as fire or flood.
IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:
Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved.
We have already invested money to realize the vision of building infrastructure to support an offsite network disaster recovery
and business continuity site. We will not be able to implement new systems, upgrade existing Exchange mail server and
accommodate backup of new systems due to lack of capacity at Town Hall.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
To expand the wireless network infrastructure to include free outdoor wi-fi access points and service at outdoor locations
throughout the Town. This project includes expansion of existing wireless infrastructure including hardware, additional
license acquisition, access points, outdoor cabling and installation fees.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
Supporting the corporate communications strategy of increasing community engagement and information sharing would
improve our service levels. This will also support The History of Town Park Initiative for which the cultural services division has
received grant funding. To provide free internet access and access to service for residents and visitors who use the
designated outdoor areas during Town Events i.e. Concerts and movies in the park, Farmers Market, splash parks, Aurora
Borealis etc.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
Outdoor wireless networks offer compelling benefits to Towns and Cities of all types by providing a platform to extending
services to citizens, encouraging tourism, and helping field-based workers to be more productive and more responsive. As
we know, more and more devices used by residents, visitors and employees are connected to the internet. Providing this
services helps narrow the digital divide by giving all citizens equal access to education, health, and technology resources
over the Internet and setting the stage for further leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT).IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:
Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved.
Business would carry on as normal, but not being prepared with suitable infrastructure to reinvent the way we are doing
business and serving our constituents in alternative ways would be an impact/cost of not proceeding with this initiative.

14069 Portable Emergency Cooling Unit
Corporate Services
Final Approved Budget 2018
Description
TARGET START DATE AND END DATE: Use format Q4 2017 - Q1 2018
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
To provide a portable emergency cooling source in the event of a air conditioning malfunction at either the Town Hall LAN
room or the Joint Operations Centre LAN rooms.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
The LAN rooms in the Town and at the JOC house thousands of dollars of critical server and infrastructure equipment. In the
event of an air conditioning failure, this portable unit can be turned on and activated, eliminating the need to shut down
servers and equipment and as a result impacting business operations and service levels. After 30 minutes of cooling loss,
temperatures in the room quickly escalate to an unacceptable level, warranting the shutting down of equipment for safety
reasons.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
The benefits of pursuing this project is simply to provide a quick alternative cooling source in the event of equipment failure.
Air conditioning contracts are in place to expedite maintenance service in emergency situations, but the mean time to repair
fluctuates based on the nature of the day. Having another cooling source as a backup makes good business sense to
protect the investment of these rooms.
IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:
Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved.
If not approved, IT and Facilities staff would continue to monitor the room when equipment fails and ultimately shutdown
equipment when temperatures escalate to the unacceptable zone. Service levels would drop at this time until all repairs were
made to restore the unit.

Final Approved Budget 2018
Description
TARGET START DATE AND END DATE: Use format Q4 2017 - Q1 2018
Q1 through Q2
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
This specialized equipment will be utilized in the repair and restoration of municipal boulevards as an alternative to applying
sod. This alternative will result in more productivity and quality assurance in restoring damage to our boulevards from winter
sidewalk and snow plowing operations. The unit will also be utilized in the parks division for boulevard tree stump removal
restoration and sports field maintenance.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
The hydro mulcher will change considerably the manner in which boulevard restoration occurs in that damage to turf would no
longer be restored using nursery sod which is more labour intensive and costly. There may be a perceived service level
reduction by some residents whose expectation would be that such repairs would continue to be restored using sod. Staff
have found that using sod in boulevard repairs is not often successful as repair sites require far more detailed preparation
prior to laying sod and much longer maintenance period following the repair as repeated irrigation cycles are required to
ensure that the sod takes root.
If approved staff would take steps to conduct a education/consultative process with our residents prior to introducing this
change in service level, by explaining the benefits associated with this restoration process.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
Hydro mulching provides a number of benefits that include a reduction in site preparation, a reduction in labour by going from a four
person repair crew using traditional restoration methods down to a two person repair crew, elimination of the need to irrigate sod
following a repair, rapid germination of seed based on timing of application and much improved turf quality based on the ability to
mix preferred turf grass species that are selected for their durability, rapid cover and drought tolerance. These are qualities not
available with the industry standard Kentucky Blue grass nursery sod currently used in boulevard restoration.

Description
TARGET START DATE AND END DATE: Use format Q4 2017 - Q1 2018
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
To commence construction of the first phase of the Community Wildlife Park. David Tomlinson had the vision for the CWP
many years ago and after years of study and observation of the flora and fauna, he approached Council with the idea of
establishing a Wildlife Park. Council endorsed the idea in 1998 and since then, land acquisition has occurred, development
agreements have been negotiated and many studies have occurred with respect to hydrology. RFP PRS2016-21 - Aurora
Community Wildlife Park Design and Implementation was awarded by Council through report PRS16-023 in June 2016.
Design work is ongoing and parks will be issuing a tender for Phased Construction works in 2017.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
This system of trails is integral to the 2C development lands and the trails systems help support essential links between green
spaces and residential areas and is supported by the Trails Master Plan.
The Wildlife Park supports the Strategic Plan goal of Supporting an Exceptional Quality of Life for All through its accomplishment of
satisfying requirements in the key objectives with the goal statement: Develop a long -term needs assessment for recreation
programs, services and operations to match the evolving needs of the growing and changing population.
The trails provide important connectivity for residents helping alleviate the reliance on automobiles, decrease carbon footprints and
increase the health and wellness of the community objectives in both the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and Environmental
Action Plan.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
Will provide the residents with controlled access to a significant number of trails/boardwalks throughout the Wildlife Park
which contains a provincially designated wetland, woodlands and grasslands.
The park will also provide connectivity through its trail system to town amenities and other trails identified in the Trails Master
Plan.
IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:
Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved.
Many years of planning and funding have been invested in the concept of the CWP and by not funding the next phase the
vision, the work of many people would be lost. Leaving the lands without access may also encourage unwanted entry to
sensitive areas of our natural environment.

IES have realized many benefits to having this technology in the vehicles as it assists management track trucks on the road
and efficiently redirect the closest staff should a situation arise. The system has also helped manage the snow plow
operations of Town vehicles and the contractors in the field as well. In addition IES has been able to draw on GPS information
when a legal claim has been filed against the Town. Parks would be able to utilize the system similarly to assist in tracking
of contractors and managing daily operations, especially as it relates to turf maintenance and plowing. The system has the
capability of providing detailed reports which would allow us to gauge how many hectares of grass are maintained daily,
which would assist in accurately forecasting staff and equipment needs.
PROJECT BENEFITS:

Description
TARGET START DATE AND END DATE: Use format Q4 2017 - Q1 2018
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
To complete construction of Stewart Burnett Community Park.
Stewart Burnett Park was established in 2009 and a senior baseball diamond was constructed on a portion of the 18 acre
parcel of lands. The rest of the lands were left to be serviced with future park amenities as the 2C lands developed. Council
approved the construction of an artificial turf field in 2016 and construction is to be completed in 2017. As well they gave
approval for a tennis dome and clubhouse to be erected on the site in 2016. Two thirds of the park will have been completed
requiring the remaining lands to be finished off with the remainder of the amenities, inclusive of a splash pad, playground,
washroom facility, trails and associated landscaping.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:

The first phase of this capital project was funded in 2017 for the construction of the parking lot (PRS2017-68) and is to be
completed in 2017. This will leave an area between the artificial turf/dome/baseball field and parking lot incomplete. This
final phase is necessary to complete, as it will include not only the playground,splash pad and washroom building but also all
the pathways to provide connectivity to the different amenities of this large community park and a substantial amount of
landscaping.
This park is also a trail head entry point to the Wildlife Park and an important link to Trails Master Plan.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
To complete the full park and provide recreation opportunities for adjacent neighborhoods. Construction of this park will also
fulfill the goal of 'Supporting an exceptional life for all" and objective: encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle.

Description
TARGET START DATE AND END DATE: Use format Q4 2017 - Q1 2018
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
To inventory the street trees in the new development lands on the 2C lands. It is important to update the current tree
inventory to include this new residential area in Town so we have a complete record. This helps us understand the quantity
of trees, diversification of species and locations which details this large asset and assists in maintenance planning. The
Town initiated the street tree inventory in the early 2000's and all of the Town has been completed to date.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
This information has been helpful to us as it supports our Municipal Forestry Policy and the Parks Maintenance Standards and
assists in projecting and managing the cycling of block pruning required and budgeting for the works. An example of where the
inventory has been vital has been in the management of the EAB treatment program. It allowed staff to identify the number of trees
and diameter enabling us to track addresses requiring treatment and diameter of trees. This was important in establishing a budget
forecast for the term of the treatments, providing important information for purchasing documents and essential information to allow Council to make
informed decisions.
The inventory also is shared with the GIS department and plotted, creating a layer of street trees in iCity. This is important to the
Forestry crew and administration staff as it assists in identifying ownership of trees by defining property lines and tree location when
residents contact the Town. This helps staff deal with the work orders and customers efficiently, improving response time.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
Creates efficiencies in customer service, planning of work and maintenance schedules.
Assists in creating accurate forecasts in budgets and reporting of assets.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
To purchase additional picnic tables, garbage receptacles and park benches to service parks and open spaces coming online
in the 2C lands.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
Multiple trails and parks are being assumed within the 2C lands which will require benches for seating/relaxation, garbage
receptacles for refuse and picnic tables for enjoyment.
These assets are included in all our parks and trails and are maintained and provided as a minimum service level. All three of these
amenities are integral to providing parks users with a positive experience in the parks.
With increased demand and use of trails the request for more frequent rest spots along the paths has increased especially as the
population ages and focus on physical fitness is being prescribed by doctors. Picnic tables are always in high demand in our parks
especially where playgrounds/sports fields and splash pads are available for use and are requested frequently by users when they
book events within parks which provide an additional revenue stream through our Parks and Recreation Fees and Services.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
Garbage receptacles provide a place for users to place refuse, helping keep the park clean and tidy for all to enjoy. Benches
provide rest stations for residents and additionally help support our memorial bench program which provides some small
portion of revenues to the parks but is a program which is well supported by the public, in the last year 10 + benches were
installed.
IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:
Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved.
Increased garbage within parks and inability to deliver services and programs within parks.

Description
TARGET START DATE AND END DATE: Use format Q4 2017 - Q1 2018
Q1 2018 - Q4 2018 Conditional Approval - Additional Information Required
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
As of January 01 2018, By-Law services intends to bring Animal Control in house and eliminate the yearly contract with the
current provider.
As a result there will be some initial start-up costs associated with equipment and training to ensure a seamless service
delivery to the public.
The goal of brining Animal Control in house is to provide a higher level of service as has been requested by the public and to
increase the level of accountability with Animal Control staff.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
The impact to the budget over 5 years will be expense neutral, however there is likely to be an increase in revenue as there
will be a higher level of enforcement. Service levels will rise as there will be several back up officers available to assist the
A/C officer, and there will be back up for vacations, sick time and training days. Hours of regular service would be extended
outside of the current 8 am - 4 pm service hours. Having full time staff in house will insure better communication,
accountability and will have a positive impact on the community.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
Animal Control complaints are continually rising with the growth of the Town of Aurora. Having in house trained officer(s) will provide more visibility
and joint patrols with other in house municipal officers will increase compliance. Cross training with an Animal Control Officer will also provide
growth opportunities for staff interested in broadening their experience. Citizens with complaints would have easier access to officers and service
delivery would be expedited as there would not be the delay that currently exists by forwarding calls to a contractor dispatch and the delay that it
takes to get to a contracted officer.
This initiative also has a positive impact on N4 partners who are working towards a longer term joint animal shelter agreement.IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:
Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved.
Failure to approve the project would mean that the Town would have to go to RFP for Animal Control and rely on standards of
service delivery determined by another organization. These costs are continually rising and the Town has no option to review
or tighten the budget.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
To construct two new additional baseball fields, with fencing, lighting, washroom facilities and parking lot on the leased
Hallmark Lands to service a need by AKBA.
AKBA delegated to council in early 2017 explaining the need for additional playing fields to support the growing demand
within the association. Council passed a motion for the diamonds to be included in the 2018 budget for deliberation.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
AKBA has increased enrollment pressures and Aurora does not have enough facilities to support the needs of the
organization. They have increased the number of players on a team to accommodate as many children as possible, they
started playing Sunday nights and are practicing on fields not appropriate to the age groups, despite this, in 2016 they
unfortunately had to turn away players. The addition of two diamonds similar to the existing Optimist Park diamond would
alleviate the pressure on the AKBA organization, provide opportunity for sport and keep revenue streams in Aurora.
This would align with the Strategic Plan in supporting the goal of " Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all" and
objective of " Encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle" as well as supporting Activate Aurora's initiatives.
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
User groups would have facilities to support the needs of their organizations.
Opportunity to support tournaments with the added facilities.

- Stone Road at Clift Road intersection (Type D), cost $7,000 to $10,000
- Stone Road at Aurora Grove Public School eastern access (Type D), cost $7,000 to $10,000
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION/CAPITAL SERVICE LEVEL IMPACT:
Provide the reasons the project should be approved and what will be the impact of the project to service levels.
The Town would like to implement a pedestrian crossover program to increase pedestrian safety at mid-block, intersection and roundabout crossings.
The MTO has updated the Ontario Traffic Manual- Book 15 "Pedestrian Crossing Treatments" with new treatments for pedestrian crossover to allow
pedestrians to cross safely. The new crossover treatment provides a more cost effective way in addressing residents' requests for mid-block and
intersection crossing. There are 4 types of pedestrian crossover as follows:
- Type A: used for high to medium volume, high speed, single or multi-lane arterials
- Type B: used for medium volume, medium speed, single or multi-lane roadways such as major collectors, arterials and high volume multi-lane
roundabouts
- Type C: used for medium volume, medium speed single lane roadways such as major collectors and low volume multi-lane roundabouts
- Type D: used for medium to low volume, low speed and single lane roadways such as collectors, single lane roundabouts and right turn channels
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
Pedestrian crossovers are a new way for pedestrians to easily and safely cross the road. By law drivers and cyclists must stop and yield to
pedestrians intended to cross the road, and wait for them to completely reach the other side before driving on. Pedestrian crossovers can be
implemented at mid-block, intersections and round-about crossings and are marked by signs, pavement markings and might have pedestrian-activated
flashing lights. The crossovers will allow pedestrians to cross with the right-of-way under a greater number of conditions than before and provide
municipalities more tools when dealing with crossover requests.
IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:
Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved.
Impact if the project was not approved - less safe roads for the residents and less tools for the municipality when dealing with
residents requests related to pedestrian crossings at uncontrolled intersections and mid-block locations.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Provide a brief overview of the project and include the key goals, objectives and performance measures.
Traffic calming is associated with physical features such as: speed humps, speed cushions and chicanes. They are installed
on a road to reduce the speeds at which vehicles travel, to discourage through traffic, to improve traffic safety and to improve
comfort levels for all traffic users. .Locations where traffic calming measures maybe considered for installation are:
- Conover Avenue between River Ridge Boulevard and Borealis Avenue and
- Stone Road between Clift Road and Hawtin Lane
The above two (2) locations were part of the traffic calming pilot project in 2016; however there weren’t completed due to the
lack of residents support and funding.

LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Strategic Plan Goal of Supporting an Exceptional Quality of Life for All
Objective 1: Improve transportation, mobility and connectivity - Examine traffic patterns and identify potential solutions
to improve movement and safety for motorists and pedestrians.
Traffic calming solutions should be looked at as a community-wide strategy, as opposed to an on-street-by-street basis, to
ensure that volume and speed concerns are not transferred to adjacent streets. The Town's Traffic Calming Policy identifies
the process for the implementation of traffic calming measures
PROJECT BENEFITS:
Explain the benefits of the project which could include Citizen/Client, compliance, financial, internal, learning & growth or utility benefits.
Traffic calming is intended to:
- improve the quality of life for residents on traffic calmed streets,
- achieve slower speeds for motor vehicles and
- increase the safety for all street users.
IMPACT TO THE ORGANIZATION IF THE PROJECT WAS NOT APPROVED:
Please provide an explanation of what the outcomes would be if the project was not approved.
There might be an impact on road safety for all street users if the project was not approved.
