MAINTENANCE
SET UP PARKS
WORKS DEPARTMENT
PARKS -Councillor Trent present a report of the Parks Committee
in which the Committee respectfully submit the following:
It was agreed by the members of the Parks Committee present that
Parks Worka Department should be set up to look after our parks.
Two ideas were discussed concerning the size of staff. One idea
was the foreman or supervisor would be an elderly person versed
in Horticulture with two men under his immediate supervision to
do the physical labour. The second idea was a permanent .employee
who would beassisted by part time help in the persons of ,Iigh ScllooJ
students or others capable of doing physical work under the
diEection of the permanent employee versed in Horticulture. It >res
agreed that a workshop could be built on the pollution control
grounds. Also a truck would be required to perform their duties
in the various parks. This vehicle •ould be in the half ton siza.
The duties of this man or men in season, would be grass cutting,
grounds maitnenance, care and repair of recreation equipment and
general welfare of our parks. In winter the man or men would
repair and recondition park equipment in the work shop, prepare
plants for spring planting and look after the flooding and clcJ.nc, ng
of outside rinks.
It must be realized that there are fifty-four acres of par!; lan.is
to be looked after and numerous pieces of equipment that reqclire
attention or they will deteriorate.
It was ntoiced by the members of the Committee that one set of
swings in McMahon Park had to be repaired due to the lack of
maintenance. With the plans of ou~ Centennial Committee ·to spend
large amounts of money on our parks it would seem reasonab~e that
we should protect this investment. The setting up of a Parks 1-Jork
Department would relieve the Parks Committee of a number of
problems in maintenance and would tend to give the Town of Aurora
better parks to use. This would also give the Parks Committee
more opportunity to make plans for the acquisition of other areas
under our perusal, to either be developed by the Town of Aurora or
the Holland Valley Conservation Authority. It was brought to the
Committees attention by the Chairman that the H.V.C.A. aro wil:.ing
to undertake the aequisition of lands to be designated by the
Council of Aurora. We are fortunate to have in our area so mS+!J'
desirable locations for natural Parks which are an asset to any
community.
It is the intention of this Committee to have prepared at Budg~t
time an outline of the expenses of setting up a Parks v/orks
Department and we as a Committee are certain you and the Council
will see the benefits to be derived from our proposal.
TRENT:

It must be remembered that the Ontario Municipal Board has the
final word in the approval of all capital indevtedness and in
this respect has placed the Town on a quota basis respecting
debt forecasted for a 5 year period.
Therefore it is recommended that the proper procedure to b e now
followed shouldpursue the following lines:
1. Ascertain the Actual amount of moni9s estimated to be
required for the construction of an appropriate replacement
of the present acena (complex or otherwise.) Present
this request for capital expenditure by resolution of this
Council to the Ontario Municipal Board to~gether with a revised
five year forecastof capital expenditures.
Anticipated required by this municipality. The application
to the Ontario Municipal Board would request their approval
and contain notice that Council considers going to a vote of·
the people of Aurora prior to the expenditure. If approvE~
This method would save the expense of a vote, only then, to
have same not approved by the Ontario Municipal Board.
It must be noted that the extension of our Sewage Treatment
Facilities must be considered of immediate concern and that
it is now necessary to await a definite report as to its costs
from our engineer in order that the Ontario Water Resources
Commission will be satisfied and the 5 year forecast revised
