FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 192 CONT 1 D
The Finance Committee met on Monday, March 30, 1970 at 8:00• P.M. with Mayor
Illingworth and Reeve Buck present and Councillor Harris. in attendance. .Seve:-.-,1
items were discussed and in the opinion of the Committee the above referred
·items should be presented to Council in Committee prior to presentation to
Council.
1. Collis Leather Agreement
Ref.erence is made to previous corresp~ndence and reports regarding the
agreement between the towh of Aurora and Coliis Leather Co. Ltd.
Paragraph D2 of the agl:.eemeht states: "For the disposal of the Company's
' tannery waste thl:ollgh the Municipal Sewage System during the currency of this
agreement, pursuarit to the terms and conditions as contained therein, the
Company . shali 1>111 and agrees with the Corporation to pay to the Corporation the
su~ of $5,641.48 per year for a period of 20 years as set forth in Schedule
".A" attached hereto and the Company shall each month also pay one third of the
operating costs of the Municipal Sewage. System during the currency of the
.. Agreement.
: NOTE: ··The agreement was signed Si!ptember 20, 1955 for a 20 year period •
• There is no doubt that the Town should have discussed the enlargement of the
plant with the Company before proceeding and· no·. valid reason can be given for this
omission.
After considering all fact.ors, your·Committee recommends as follows:
. (a) That the Company continue to. meet its commitment as to Capital Costs
during the currency of the agreement as outlined in Schedule "A". It is
· understood that the Company is agreeable to this.
(b) That the Company shouhd not be required to pay the full one third of the
operating costs since the enlargement of the plant. A breakdown of what ·costs
v should be charged to the operation of the old plant before modifications and
the enlarged plant is vL.tually impossible. Therefore your Committee has
averaged the Collis Leather portion (1/3 of operating costs) for the 10 year
.
· period prior to the enlargentent as follows:
1959
1960
1961
1962
1963
$6,881.05
$7' 698.69
$8,534.08
$9' 779.83
$9,304.31
Average per year $9,000.10.
1964
1965
1966
1967
1968
$9,329.82
$9' 156.52
$9,948.05
$10,076.40
$9 i 292.31 (partial shut down)
$90,001.06
In 1969, the first year of oJ:teration of the enlarged plant, the actual 1/3 cost
was $14,255.03 less 1/3 of Choice Cut-Up Chicken costs or a net of $12,169.68.
It is therefore recommended that for 1969 Collis Leather be charged $9,000.10
which Will give them a creditcf $3,169.58 (12,169.68 less $9,000.10) •
/.

ELEVENTII REGULAR -8-JUNE 1, 1970.
FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 192 COT'D
For 1970, estimating an overall increase of 5% for costs .. of goods, services,
etc. it is recommended that Collis Leather be billed at $9,000.10 plus 5% or a
.total of $9 ,450.10.
For 1971, the subsequent years, during the currency of the agreement, that no
change be made in the agreement, but a yearly fee be Set which will be mutually
agreeable.
It is also recommert~ed that if this report is acceptable to Council in
Committee, in principle, the Finance Committee be authorized to meet with
representatives of Collis Leather Co. regarding mutual agreement.
2. Works DeEa!.E!.Jet\t Hage Sched~le
Your Committee met with representatives of the Works Dept. on Saturday, March
~1, 1970 and reviewed a brief re •·1orking condi tiona and salary.
Your Committee was very impressed with the attitude of the representatives anL
the submitted brief:
Your Committee recommends that in future all meetings be hald at the Tm,.,., Hall
rather than the Works Department.
A draft proposal as to terms of reference, working conditions and salary
arrangements are attached to this report. If acceptable to Council in
Committee, it ia recommended that the Finance Committee be authorized to
present th~ proposal to the employees.
Your Committee also recommends that the two employees who had their employc_ce·,;.~
terminated in April 1966, and were subsequently re-hired in June and July}~'·
be considered to have been on suspension without pay, and that the effective de<· •.
for their benefits be the effective date of their original date of employme~t
with the Town.

and that corrective action ~ras being taken with oth;;,r industries.
