The Committee are unanimous in commending the previous members of the Police Governing Association for the fine work they did last year. L -~-------------------- -14- COMMITTEE REPORTS CONT'D March 18, 1968. Council in Committee Cont'd It is our opinion that in time this Association will be one of the more important avenues to the Legislature in the future. The members of the Police Committee had an opportunity to talk with many of the delegates at this meeting and as a result the Committee would recommend to Council that the Clerk be instructed to contact Magistrate Graham, The Ontario Police Commission, and ask his De~artment to survey the Aurora Police Department. It is the Committee's opinion that an effort should be made to prepare for the next bargaining session with the Aurora Police Association. Our contract will be up with them at the end of this year. Therefore, the Committee recommend that the Treasurer be instructed to gather information concerning Police Association contracts from Municipalities with populations of six thousand to fifty thousand. This would give the Treasurer sufficient infol'mation to set out statistics as to average wage for first-class Constable, verage increases and all those matters pertaining to Police Contracts. This information would be fonvarded to Council so that the Council vrould be in a position to decide and give direction to Councils bargaining agent. Mr. Hanna, of the City of Brockville, holds the Office of Secretary-Treasurer. He explained to the Members of the Police Committee that one of his duties is to act as Bargaining Agent for the Council inBrockville. He meets with Council and goes over his statistics that he has gathered over the past year, such as set out above. Council in their wisdom set the limits for Mr. Hanna to bargain with. Mr. Hanna bargains with three unions in the City of Brockville and claims to have been successful in all negotiations. It is suggested that perhaps the Aurora Council could appoint the Treasurer to act as our Bargaining Agent in that he would be so well versed in other Police Contracts. The Committee vrish to report that the Department of Transport have undertaken the survey of traffic lights in Aurora and we should have the results shortly. TRENT: "That the report of the Police Committee, re: BUCK: Various Items dated March 15, 1968 be accepted. CARRIED TRENT: WILLIAiv!SON: "Resolved that the annual Police Department Report be tabled."

CARRIED Councillor Miller presented a report of the Services Committee in which the Committee respectfully submitted the following: The Ambulance Agreement with Reliable Ambulance Company expired on the 31st. day of December, 1967. The Ontario Department of Health recommends that municipalities. should have their Ambulance Agreements in the form prescribed by the Department, and the Ambulance Services Act, 1966, requires that an agreement shall be for a period of not less than two years or for more than five years. Caryle Services Ltd., formerly Reliable Ambulance Company, has been contacted and they arc agreeable to a two year contract at an annual subsidy of $3,000.00 which is the same as last year. The Committee recommends that a new Agreement for two years be drawn up in accordance with the recommendations of the Department of Health and that the necessary by-law be prepared to authorize the signing of the Agreement. MILLER: BUCK: "Resolved that the report of the Services Committee dated Harch 11, 1968, re; Ambulance Agreement, be accepted."

March 18, 1968. Council in Committee Cont'd There-axe only t\vO places in Aurora 1-rhere a transient may find lodging; The Queen's Hotel and Spruce Villa, and if these places have no vacancies, then there is no place to lodge transients. There does not appear to be a solution to this problem at this time. The apparent solution to the problem of transients approaching several ministers and receiving assistance from each is to have the ministers refer the transients to the Town Office during business hours and to the Salvation Army during the evening and weekends. Captain \IJaywell is quite agreeable to this arrangement. Captain Haywell will provide the transient vri th a meal ticket and try to find him lodging for the night j_f required. A suggestion was made that some Gray Coach ticll:ets for one-way to Toronto be purchased and distributed betv:een the Town Office and the Sal vat ion Army. These tickets .vould be used for transients passing through Toivn. The pr:i.ce of a bus ticket is 95 cents and a transient could not cash the ticket in Aurora. The Cormnittee recommends that when the Salvation Army arranges accommodation. fm' an indigent transient, Captain \Naywell is to have the transient complete an Application for Welfare (forms to be provj_ded by the Town Office) and he will forward the applicat~on. to the Town Office. The transient is to then apply in person at the Town Office the follovring morning and his application will be processed to see if he qualifies for assistance under the Regulations of the Welfare Act, 1967. The Committee also recommends that some bus tickets be purchased and be kept on hand at the Town Office and at the Salvation Army for indigents passing through To1m. MILLER: BUCK; "Resobred that the report of the Services Committee dated March 11, 1968, re; meeting with Ministerial Association l'e: transient indigents be accepted."
