Notices of Motion (a) Mayor Dawe Re: Bee City Canada Designation Whereas the goal of the Bee City Canada designation is to promote healthy, sustainable, habitats and communities for pollinators; and Whereas bees and other pollinators around the globe have experienced dramatic declines due to land fragmentation, habitat loss, use of pesticides, industrialized agriculture, climate change and the spread of pests and diseases, with serious implications for the future health of flora and fauna; and Whereas cities, townships, and First Nations communities and their residents have the opportunity to support bees and other pollinators on both public and private land; and Whereas supporting pollinators fosters environmental awareness and sustainability, and increases interactions and engagement among community stewards; and Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item S1 Page 11 of 16 General Committee Meeting Report Tuesday, June 5, 2018 Page 12 of 16 Whereas by becoming a Bee City, The Town of Aurora, can highlight initiatives already in place and further engage local communities in an environment of creativity and innovation which will promote a healthier life for our community; 1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That staff be directed to pursue the Bee City Canada designation for The Town of Aurora. (b) Councillor Abel Re: Greenbelt Protection Whereas the Town of Oakville has passed a similar resolution; and Whereas the Greenbelt is an integral component of land use planning that complements the Growth Plan to encourage smart planning, the reduction of sprawl, protection of natural and hydrological features and agricultural lands; and Whereas the Greenbelt has protected 1.8 million acres of farmland, local food supplies, the headwaters of our rivers and important forests and wildlife habitat for more than 12 years; and Whereas a permanent Greenbelt is an important part of the planning for sustainable communities; and Whereas there is a tremendous amount of land already planned and available in excess of the development needs of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) without weakening the protections provided by the Greenbelt; and Whereas efforts to open the Greenbelt to create the opportunity for land speculators to build expansive homes, at immense profits, in remote areas; and Whereas opening the Greenbelt would move the urban boundary thus creating more sprawl and increased traffic; and Whereas the costs of sprawl result in increased taxes, because 25% of the costs of sprawl are downloaded to existing property tax payers; and Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item S1 Page 12 of 16 General Committee Meeting Report Tuesday, June 5, 2018 Page 13 of 16 Whereas programs like the proposed inclusionary zoning regulations will assist municipalities in advancing the supply of affordable housing stock without the need to expand the built boundary; 1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That the Town of Aurora stands with its municipal neighbours to undertake continued action to maintain and grow the current Greenbelt, of which the Oak Ridges Moraine is a part; and 2. Be It Further Resolved That the Province be strongly urged to extend Greenbelt protection to include the appropriate white belt lands within the inner ring, lands that are the most immediately vulnerable to development in the province; and 3. Be It Further Resolved That this resolution be distributed to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs, the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, all Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) municipalities, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, Environmental Defence, Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation, STORM Coalition (Save The Oak Ridges Moraine), Oak Ridges Moraine Foundation, The Regional Municipality of York, and members of Municipal Leaders for the Greenbelt, and leaders of the various Ontario political parties. (c) Councillor Abel Re: Outdoor Sports Field Strategy Whereas the 2016 Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified facility pressures, namely outdoor sports fields, in both soccer and baseball; and Whereas staff suggested that managing the needs may be accommodated through land acquisition and partnership opportunities; and Whereas staff also suggested that there may be opportunities of repurposing fields that are under-utilized; and Whereas it is in the Town's best interest to encourage outdoor field sport participation opportunities for all Town of Aurora residents; and Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item S1 Page 13 of 16 General Committee Meeting Report Tuesday, June 5, 2018 Page 14 of 16 Whereas a Sports Field Strategy would ensure public awareness and access of the Town's outdoor sport facilities for its residents; and Whereas a Sports Field Strategy would provide high quality sports surfaces for sports field user groups in the community, and ensure guidelines are developed that promote and support field sport that is integrated with the Town's economic and tourism plans; and Whereas a Sports Field Strategy would encourage and facilitate innovative and cooperative partnerships for the delivery of outdoor field sports programs in the community; and Whereas a Sports Field Strategy would provide opportunities for community field sport groups to provide input into future field sport strategies, policies, procedures and budget priorities; 1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That staff be directed to report back to Council in the Fall 2018 with terms of reference for an Outdoor Sports Field Strategy that addresses the future needs of the community as well as prioritizes the repurposing of existing fields and identifies opportunities for corporate and neighbouring municipality partnerships. (d) Councillor Gaertner Re: Actions for Environmental Protection Whereas recent severe weather conditions have underlined the need to take action to protect our environment; and Whereas the Town's Community Energy Plan is not ready as yet; and Whereas it is responsible and appropriate to put as many protective measures in place as soon as possible; 1.

That Report No. CMS18-020 be received for information. Executive Summary The development of additional outdoor sports fields meets the recommendations from the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. This report summarizes additional information to assist Council with the determining which fields to build. • Results of a user group survey demonstrates their consistent preference for two (2) fields of the same sport • The timing and type (soccer vs ball) of field development can dramatically impact the field time available for each sport over the next three (3) years Background At the May 22, 2018 Council meeting, the report on the Hallmark Lands was referred to the June 12, 2018 Council meeting to be revisited. At that time, staff were directed to survey the outdoor field user groups to determine their preference in the provision of two (2) fields of the same sport or one (1) field for soccer and one (1) field for baseball. As there were questions about what fields should come first, staff prepared a summary of the timing of development of the approved capital projects in combination with the proposed field development on the Hallmark Lands. This summary outlines the impact of the timing of implementation for the various capital projects. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item R1 Page 1 of 5 June 12, 2018 Page 2 of 5 Report No. CMS18-020 Analysis Results of a user group survey demonstrates their consistent preference for two (2) fields of the same sport Staff issued a survey to the outdoor field user groups to determine their preference of two (2) ball diamonds, two (2) rectangle fields or one (1) of each. Sixteen of the 17 user groups responded. The user group that did not respond tends to use the existing artificial turf or arena floors. Of the 16 respondents, 15 prefer two (2) fields of the same sport. Majority of their responses were in support of two (2) because it solves their immediate needs as well as plans for the future and supports tournament play. The group that supported one (1) of each was a smaller adult league. The timing and type (soccer vs ball) of field development can dramatically impact the field time available for each sport over the next three (3) years With the understanding that the sports groups prefer two (2) fields of the same sport to be constructed on the Hallmark Lands, staff prepared various scenarios of the impact of timing and type of field construction on the Hallmark Lands. Scenario #1 – approved for two (2) senior ball diamonds with lights: Project Impact in 2019 Impact in 2020 Impact in 2021 Soccer Ball Soccer Ball Soccer Ball Sheppard’s Bush artificial turf multi-sport field (for all rectangular field sports) + 1500 hours 0 Adding lights to Norm Weller Park soccer field + 200 hours 0 Constructing two (2) ball diamonds at Hallmark 0 + 2200 hours TOTAL: + 1700 hours Soccer 0 0 + 2200 hours Ball ? ?

Scenario #3 demonstrates that soccer will increase by 1700 hours in 2019 while deferring a decision for ball field construction would result in an additional 2200 hours but not until 2021.

The subject matters were the potential acquisition of land in the Aurora Promenade area in 2015 and the matters relating to the Armoury, located at 89 Mosley Street, in 2017. Both Complaints were forwarded to the Town’s closed meeting investigators, Amberley Gavel LTD, an independent third-party investigator. Their report is attached to this report.

COMPLAINTS The Corporation of the Town of Aurora (“Town”) received two complaints about meetings of Town Council in closed session held on November 24, 2015; and held October 18, 2016; May 9, 2017; May 23, 2017 and November 14, 2017. This request was sent to the offices of Amberley Gavel Ltd. (“Amberley Gavel”) for investigation. II. JURISDICTION The Town appointed Local Authority Services (LAS) as its closed meeting investigator pursuant to section 239.2 of the Municipal Act. LAS has delegated its powers and duties to Amberley Gavel to undertake the investigation and report to Town Council. III. BACKGROUND Section 239 of the Municipal Act provides that all meetings of a municipal council, local board or a committee of either of them shall be open to the public. This requirement is one of the elements of transparent local government. The section sets forth exceptions to the open meetings rule. It lists the reasons for which a meeting, or a portion of a meeting, may be closed to the public. The section confers discretion on a council or local board to decide whether a closed meeting is required for a particular matter. That is, it is not required to move into closed session if it does not feel the matter warrants a closed session discussion. Section 239 at the time of the complaint and the meetings in question read, in part, as follows: Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item R2 Page 4 of 6 Attachment 1 2 Meetings open to public 239. (1) Except as provided in this section, all meetings shall be open to the public. 2001, c. 25, s. 239 (1). Exceptions (2) A meeting or part of a meeting may be closed to the public if the subject matter being considered is, (a) the security of the property of the municipality or local board; (b) personal matters about an identifiable individual, including municipal or local board employees; (c) a proposed or pending acquisition or disposition of land by the municipality or local board; (d) labour relations or employee negotiations; (e) litigation or potential litigation, including matters before administrative tribunals, affecting the municipality or local board; (f) advice that is subject to solicitor-client privilege, including communications necessary for that purpose; (g) a matter in respect of which a council, board, committee or other body may hold a closed meeting under another Act. 2001, c. 25, s. 239 (2). Open meeting (5) Subject to subsection (6), a meeting shall not be closed to the public during the taking of a vote. 2001, c. 25, s. 239 (5). Exception (6) Despite section 244, a meeting may be closed to the public during a vote if, (a) subsection (2) or (3) permits or requires the meeting to be closed to the public; and (b) the vote is for a procedural matter or for giving directions or instructions to officers, employees or agents of the municipality, local board or committee of either of them or persons retained by or under a contract with the municipality or local board. It is not the role of the Investigator to investigate the merits of any decisions made either in closed session or subsequently in open session following closed session deliberations A closed meeting investigator is limited to investigating only process with respect to the exclusion of the public from a meeting pursuant to Section 239 and the Municipality’s Procedure By-law. The Municipal Act 2001 states as follows: Investigator 239.2 (1) Without limiting sections 9, 10 and 11, those sections authorize the municipality to appoint an investigator who has the function to investigate in an independent manner, on a complaint made to him or her by any person, whether the municipality or a local board has complied with section 239 or a procedure by-law under subsection 238 (2) in respect Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item R2 Page 5 of 6 Attachment 1 3 of a meeting or part of a meeting that was closed to the public, and to report on the investigation. IV. INVESTIGATION Documents provided by the Town and reviewed included the Agendas and Minutes of the meetings cited and Council’s Procedure By-laws in place at the time of those meetings. The Town Clerk was consulted during the investigation From a review of the submitted complaints, we were unable to determine that the complainant was specifically concerned with inappropriate or missing process. We have concluded instead that the complainant was concerned with the substance of certain decisions made and/or not made by Council. Reviewing such is beyond our mandate. We did not review in detail each of the meetings to which our attention was drawn by the complaints because of the lack of any specific information in the complaints about alleged process failings or shortcomings. V. CONCLUSION Based on our review of the two complaints and the resulting limited investigation, we found no breaches of Section 239 on the part of the Council of the Town of Aurora. VI. PUBLIC REPORT This report is forwarded to the Council of the Town of Aurora. The Municipal Act provides that this report be made public. It is suggested that the report be included on the agenda of the next regular meeting of Council or at a special meeting called for the purpose of receiving this report prior to the next regular meeting.

Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item R2 Page 6 of 6 Town of Aurora Council Report No. PDS18-081 Subject: Renovation of the Aurora Armoury - 89 Mosley Street – Additional Information Prepared by: Anthony Ierullo, Manager of Policy Planning and Economic Development Department: Planning and Development Services Date: June 12, 2018 Recommendation 1. That Report No. PDS18-081 be received for information. Executive Summary • The purpose of the report is to provide additional information on the costs and benefits of the roof material options related to the renovation of 89 Mosley St. • The proposed options are all considered long term roof materials that are anticipated to have an extended lifespan. The copper and zinc alternatives are expected to have an 80-100 year lifespan, while the steel material offers a 40 year lifespan. • The zinc and copper roof alternatives come with significant price premiums when compared to the metal roof. • From a heritage perspective, the zinc roof is preferred by the Town’s Architect. Background At the June 5, 2018 General Committee meeting, Council requested additional information related to the costs and benefits of the roof options related to the renovation of the Aurora Armoury (89 Mosley St). The following paragraphs outline the key considerations for Council in evaluating the available options. Analysis Lifespan of Materials The proposed options are all considered long term roof materials that are anticipated to have an extended lifespan. However, there is a distinct difference in the longevity of the Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item R3 Page 1 of 7 June 12, 2018 Page 2 of 5 Report No. PDS18-081 steel material when compared to both the copper and zinc alternatives. The estimated lifespan associated with each product is outlined below: • Metal: 40 years • Zinc: 80 to 100 years • Copper: 80 to 100 years The above product lifespans are estimated based on the warranties provided by the manufacturer of the proposed roofing options, respectively. The Architect has also noted that the metal roof would require significant maintenance after approximately 40 years to extend the life of the product, while the copper and zinc options are virtually maintenance free and may survive beyond the warranty period. Cost Considerations The class A cost estimate for the project included pricing for the three potential roofing materials. The estimated cost associated with each of the potential roof material is outlined below: • Metal: $200,000 • Zinc: $580,000 • Copper: $1,000,000 The base project costs include the cost to install the metal roof option and would need to be increased to accommodate either the zinc or copper option. Heritage Considerations The architect has identified wood, zinc and copper as roof materials that were most likely available when the Armoury was constructed. Given the utilitarian nature of the building, it is not expected that copper would have been a preferred material for this type of building at that time. The Architect is not recommending a wooden roof due to the cost and upkeep associated with this material particularly when considering the recommended exterior wood finish. Based on the above considerations, the zinc roof alternative is preferred by the Town’s Architect as a heritage sensitive alternative. This material offers a time appropriate alternative that could be envisioned for use in a late 17th century drill shed without the associated maintenance costs of wood. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item R3 Page 2 of 7 June 12, 2018 Page 3 of 5 Report No. PDS18-081 Advisory Committee Review The design has been presented to the Town’s Heritage Advisory Committee and Accessibility Advisory Committee and staff have incorporated comments. Legal Considerations The renovation of 89 Mosley is required to satisfy the requirements of an executed Lease Agreement with the Canadian Food and Wine Institute. Financial Implications The estimated project costs are outlined in Table 1 below: Table 1: Summary of Costs Estimated Budget Base Budget $4,664,900 Approved Accoya Exterior Premium $30,000 Current Project Budget 4,694,900 Zinc Roof Premium +380,000 Copper Roof Premium +800,000 Council may consider increasing the project budget to allow for the replacement of the base metal roof with a zinc or copper alternative. Communications Considerations Staff will continue to inform Council and the community through the construction phase of this project through the use of Council highlights, the Armoury Webpage and social media. Link to Strategic Plan Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Item R3 Page 3 of 7 June 12, 2018 Page 4 of 5 Report No. PDS18-081 This report was prepared in support of the Strategic Plan and directly relates to various key action items. Alternative(s) to the Recommendation Council may approve the following draft recommendations authorizing an increase to the budget for alternate design options: 1. That the budget for the Armoury restoration and renovation be increased by $800,000 to allow for the installation of the copper roof alternative in lieu of the budgeted metal steel roof, and that the additional funding be sourced from the Aurora Hydro Sale Investment Reserve Fund; and 2. That the budget for the Armoury restoration and renovation be increased by $380,000 to allow for the installation of the zinc roof alternative in lieu of the budgeted metal steel roof, and that the additional funding be sourced from the Aurora Hydro Sale Investment Reserve Fund. Conclusions As requested by Council, the report provides additional information on the costs and benefits of the available roof material options related to the renovation of 89 Mosley St. The proposed options are all considered long term roof materials that are anticipated to have an extended lifespan. The copper and zinc alternatives are expected to have at least an 80-100 year lifespan, while the steel material offers a 40 year lifespan. The zinc and copper roof alternatives come with significant price premiums when compared to the metal roof. From a heritage perspective, the zinc roof alternative is preferred by the Town’s Architect. These factors suggest that the zinc alternative may be appropriate if Council would like to invest in a more historically appropriate material to complement the proposed exterior wood finish.

More than 90 per cent of York Region’s Strategic Plan’s key performance measures are on track The Regional Municipality of York released its third year progress report on the 2015 to 2019 Strategic Plan which shows the Region has made significant progress on its four-year strategic plan. More than 90 per cent of the key performance measures associated with this plan are progressing in the desired direction. The strategic plan provides a detailed course of action over a term of Council within the following four strategic result areas: Economic Vitality, Healthy Communities, Sustainable Environment and Good Government. In 2015, York Region released its 2015 to 2019 Strategic Plan – From Vision to Results. The plan is tracked, measured and reported annually to ensure progress is made on Council’s priorities. A copy of the progress report and other documents relating to York Region’s strategic planning is available at york.ca Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Regional Report Page 3 of 12 York University Markham Centre Campus funding agreement Regional Council authorized a funding agreement to contribute up to $25 million toward the building of a university campus in the City of Markham. Construction of York Region’s first university campus is scheduled to begin by December 31, 2018. The first phase of construction will build a 400,000 square foot, 10-storey campus, accommodating 4,200 students and 20 degree programs. These programs will help meet the needs of York Region’s growing technology sector. Future plans for the campus include an expansion to serve between 10,000 and 20,000 students.

Development Charge Bylaw amended to include 56 road projects Regional Council approved an amendment to the 2017 Development Charge Bylaw to include an additional 56 road projects in the Region's development charges, originally identified in the Transportation Master Plan. To assist in funding these projects, development charges payable on new homes will increase by 19 per cent, and between 18 and 28 per cent on new non-residential properties. The treatment of structured parking has also been amended so standalone structures for vehicle storage and retail motor vehicle establishments be considered separately and charged the appropriate rate based on usage. A new development charge deferral policy for open-air motor vehicle storage structures within the Regional Centres and Corridors was also approved. The amended bylaw will take effect July 1, 2018. York Region seeks additional revenue-raising powers York Region has one of the largest capital budgets in the Greater Toronto Area, yet it has similar revenue-raising powers as a smaller municipality. To address a capital- related fiscal gap of more than $220 million per year and to meet the demands associated with growth, Regional Council is again requesting the Province of Ontario extend to York Region the same or similar revenue-raising powers afforded to the City of Toronto, under the City of Toronto Act, 2006, including a municipal land transfer tax and vehicle registration tax. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Regional Report Page 4 of 12 These additional revenue sources will put the Region in a stronger financial position to address the ongoing infrastructure needs of our communities. Travel survey results show more residents choosing transit, cycling or walking over vehicles Regional Council received the key findings from the 2016 Transportation Tomorrow Survey.

Changes to Mobility Plus and On-Demand contractor services will provide faster response times for travellers Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Regional Report Page 6 of 12 Starting this fall, York Region Transit’s Mobility Plus and On-Demand services will merge their transit vehicle operators under a new consolidated contract. These efforts will provide greater efficiency in service delivery by expanding transit options during low-demand times and in low-demand areas, while still providing registered Mobility Plus clients with exceptional service. These changes will result in faster response times for all travellers, and helps make spontaneous travel more convenient. Mobility Plus is York Region's door-to-door, shared ride, accessible public transit service for people with disabilities. York Region social housing goes green Regional Council received an update on the GreenON Social housing Program The Green Ontario Fund announced the GreenON Social Housing program for eligible social housing apartment buildings across Ontario in February 2018. The program provides $25 million in funding to improve living conditions and address climate change for apartment buildings with less than 100 units. The Region has submitted a business case requesting $7 million in funding with the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 163 tonnes annually. A number of building retrofits will be included in the funding, including: • Replacing building heating and cooling systems • Upgrading exterior or interior insulation • Installing solar walls • Upgrading building windows and exterior doors • Upgrading building lighting systems including converting to LED lighting systems, lighting controls and sensors • Retrofitting that uses low carbon and carbon free energy technologies/systems Impact of export market policy changes for recycled newsprint Regional Council received an update on new worldwide limits for recycled newsprint and its impacts to material recovery facilities across York Region. As a result of these global changes to contamination limits on imported recyclables, York Region is searching for alternative markets for recovered newsprint. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday, June 12, 2018 Regional Report Page 7 of 12 Regional staff continue to work with contractors and engage with other cities and towns to determine options for improving both quality and marketability of the Region’s newsprint through process and technology upgrades. York Region helps more than 60,000 residents in 2017 through Community Investment Funding Regional Council received an update on the Community Investment Fund’s 2017 activity. Council also approved an enhancement to the application process to provide a move inclusive and streamlined application process. Regional Council is committed to ensuring our communities are diverse, innovative, resilient and sustainable places for all residents to live. To support this goal, the Region invested $5.5 million in the Community Investment Fund in 2017, funding 51 projects and helping 60,000 residents. The new funding model allows for a stronger focus on service delivery for residents living with low and moderate income. It also provides greater financial stability for the programs. Information sessions to learn more about the new application process are scheduled for later this month.
