communicate to Council from time to time such information and
recommend to the Council such measures as may tend to the

REGULAR MEETING -33 -AUGUST 15th. 1977
REFORTS OF COMMITTEES CONT'D
improvement of the ••• health, security and comfort of the
municipality.
It seems that prior to 1970, a some1r1hat similar problem occurred
with the operators of some motorized snowvehicles. The Ontario
government passed the Motorized Snowvehicle Act of 1970 which
was repealed and replaced by the Motorized Snowvehicles Act, 1974.
This Act contains requirements regarding the licencing of vehicles,
the licencing of operators, procedures to be followed in the event
of an accident, the requirement that mufflers on such vehicles be
in good working order and in constant operation, the requirement
of an operator to identify himself or herself to a Police Officer,
Constable, Conservation Officer or owner or occupier of the land
upon which the vehicle is operating, the requirement for an o1rmer
of land to provide written consent for his property to be used
by the operators of such vehicles and the encouragement for the
owners and operators of such vehicles to form clubs and associations
which in essence became self-policing.
It is my personal feeling that a Motorbike Act aimed at the types
of vehicles causing considerable problem in many municipalities,
as well as Aurora, should be legislated by the Ontario government.
Such an action will allow for the regulation of motorbikes,
trailbikes, etc., and indeed the legislation could probably be
styled very closely after the Motorized Snowvehicle Act of 197L~.
Furthermore, it would seem that when an owner of property gives
permission to persons to use his lands for biking, the owner
of those lands ensure that the use of his lands by such vehicles
will not cause a public nuisance to owners or occupiers of adjacent
lands.
I recommend that Council request the Minister of Transportation
and Communications to introduce legislation similar to that of the
Motorized Snowvehicles Act of 1974 as soon as possible to cover the
abuses of the operation of motorized trailbikes and motorbikes. I
further recommend that all area municipalities in the Region of York
be asked to endorse this request of the Minister of Transportation
and Communications, along with the Association of Municipalities
of Ontario. I further recommend that Mr. Wm. Hodgson, M.P.P., be
informed of these recommendations.
Item No. 3: Water Meters.
Over the period of the last month I have had prepared a report
regarding the feasibility of installing watermeters in all
residential buildings over a period of five years. It is my
intention to give Councillors the entire report and to discuss the
report further at the next Council in Committee meeting on August
31st. 1977.
Some highlights of the report:
