Re: Post Secondary Economic Impact Analysis
Whereas the Town of Aurora and Niagara College, through its Canadian Food
and Wine Institute (CFWI), have entered into a partnership agreement to
establish a post- secondary learning and training campus at the Aurora
Armoury; and
Whereas there are economic and social benefits associated with the presence
of a post-secondary institute (PSI); and
Whereas a report from the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario
(HEQCO) states that measuring the economic impact of a PSI can be done
through an economic impact analysis; and
Whereas, as stated in the York Region Post-Secondary Investment Strategy,
the economic impacts depend on what type of investment is chosen; and
Whereas those wishing to measure the economic impacts of their institutions,
or understand the methods, findings and limitations in studies done elsewhere,
would do so through an economic impact analysis;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That staff be directed to undertake
an economic impact analysis for the post-secondary Canadian Food and
Wine Institute; and
2. Be It Further Resolved That the report be completed within two Council

Re: Right to Approve Landfill Developments
Whereas municipal governments in Ontario do not have the right to approve
landfill projects in their communities, but have authority for making decisions
on all other types of development; and
Whereas this out-dated policy allows private landfill operators to consult with
local residents and municipal Councils, but essentially ignore them; and
Whereas municipalities already have exclusive rights for approving casinos
and nuclear waste facilities within their communities, AND FURTHER that the
province has recognized the value of municipal approval for the siting of power
generation facilities; and
Whereas the recent report from Ontario’s Environmental Commissioner has
found that Ontario has a garbage problem, particularly from Industrial,
Commercial and Institutional (ICI) waste generated within the City of Toronto,
where diversion rates are as low as 15%; and
Whereas municipalities across Ontario are quietly being identified and
targeted as potential landfill sites; and
Whereas municipalities should be considered experts in waste management,
as they are responsible for this within their own communities, and often have
decades’ worth of in-house expertise in managing waste, recycling, and
diversion programs; and
Whereas municipalities should have the right to approve or reject these
projects, and assess whether the potential economic benefits are of sufficient
value to offset any negative impacts and environmental concerns;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That the Town of Aurora supports
Bill 16, Respecting Municipal Authority Over Landfilling Sites Act
introduced by MPP Ernie Hardeman and calls upon the Government of
Ontario, and all political parties, to formally grant municipalities the
authority to approve landfill projects in or adjacent to their communities;

Re: Deferred Development Charges – Habitat for Humanity
Whereas Habitat for Humanity Canada is a national non-profit organization

and
Whereas Habitat for Humanity provides a unique “mortgage” that makes home

500 volunteer hours in helping build their home and the homes of others; and
Whereas Habitat for Humanity GTA was able to house 25 families in 2017 in
partnership with various communities; and
Whereas Habitat for Humanity GTA is currently seeking a site to build a home
for a family in need within the Town of Aurora; and
Whereas Habitat for Humanity GTA has requested that development charges
be deferred if and when a location is secured within the Town of Aurora;

and
2. Be It Further Resolved That staff report back to Council on the implications
of a deferral of such development charges; and

that a local municipality shall, each year, pass a by-law levying a separate tax rate, as
specified in the by-law, on the assessment in each property class in the local
municipality rateable for local municipality purposes;
And whereas the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Aurora (the “Town”)
considers it necessary and desirable to levy certain tax rates on the whole of the

purpose of raising the Town’s estimated tax levy requirement of $44,187,586 adopted
for the taxation year 2018, and the said tax rates are included in the tax rates set out in
Schedule “A” to this By-law;
And whereas the property classes have been prescribed by the Minister of Finance

6039-17 which levied an Interim Property Tax on the Residential, Multi-Residential,

before the adoption of the estimates for the taxation year 2018;

manner and at the same time as all other rates or levies.
9. A late payment penalty charge at the rate of one and one quarter percent
(1.25%) shall be levied on the non-payment of any instalment of the taxes or any
portion thereof as at the first day of each calendar month following the instalment
date.
