As announced in the 2008 Provincial Budget, I am pleased to advise you that the Town of
Aurora has been approved to receive funds in the amount of $647,113 towards your municipal
road and bridge capital investment needs.
Addressing municipal road and bridge capital investment needs is an important part of
maintaining and improving the province's transportation network, economic success and
Ontarians' quality of life. To this end, the approved funds will be transferred to you by June 30,
2008, at which time the province will also provide details on reporting requirements and other
accountability related requirements. These requirements will include as a minimum a
description of the types of eligible expenditures for which the funding is intended, and
requirement for a final report on how the funds were used. In addition, the province reserves
audit rights to ensure that funds were used for the purpose intended and to recover funds if it is
determined that they were not used, or will not be used for the intended purpose.
The province also requests the following additional information:
~ An authorizing bylaw/council resolution from the Town of Aurora which should be dated no
later than April 30, 2008. The bylaw/council resolution should reference:
• That the $647,113 allocated to the Town of Aurora by the province will be used for
municipal road and bridge capital investment needs;
• That a final summary report detailing expenditures, use of provincial funding, and
outcomes achieved shall be submitted to the ministry and the ministry may request an
independent audit of the project; and
• Any funds intended for the project that are not used in accordance with rehabilitation of
municipal road and bridge capital investment needs or the terms outlined above will be
returned to the ministry.
