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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

To provide funding for the implementation of pedestrian crossovers at the following locations: - Henderson Drive at Tamarac Trail/Lee Gate (Type C), cost $23,000 to $25,000 - Henderson Drive at McClenny Drive (Type C), cost $23,000 to $25,000 - Vandorf Sideroad at the Trail crossing approximately 180m west of Monkman Court/Archerhill Court intersection (Type C), cost $23,000 to $25,000 - John West Way at Amberhill Way/Town Hall south entrance (Type C), cost $23,000 to $25,000 - 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.
