Town Superintendent William G. Walker
Item #l -York Sanitation Company -1978 Contract
The Committee considered a brief verbal report by the Town Superintendent
on the compariy's request for an increase in the per capita rate. The
Committee recommend that the matter be deferred until further information
is received from the Clerk-Administrator regarding rates in adjacent
Municipalities.
Item #2 -Winter Maintenance of Sidewalks -Letter #2-45
The Committee considered making the clearing of sidewalks a householder's
responsibility with Town equipment being used to maintain walkways not
abutting residential areas. As the enforcement of a by-law requiring
sidewalks to be cleared, would be an administrative nightmare and clear-
ing of uncleaned portions with the available equipment would be both
time consuming and expensive, the Committee recommend that the Town
continue its present programme with existing equipment. After a severe
snow storm the low priority sidewalks may not be cleaned for 3 or 4
days. The Town Superintendent will have available, shortly, a list of
the first priority sidewalks for clearance.
Item #3 -Parking on Town Road Allowances -North Side of Metcalfe -West
of Wells Street -Letter #2-50
The Committee feel that tenants should use the additional parking
provided by the Landlord. The Committee consider the area suitable
for parking when people are using the Town Park but not for over-
night parking and await a staff report as to whether this can be
enforced under existing by-laws.
Item #4 -Policy on Plumbing Costs for Rodding Drain Connections -
Letter #2-19 -Mr. J.B. Haskell
The staff will determine the location of the offending trees in relation

than $45.00. The Committee recommend that these matters be dealt with

circumstances.
Item #5 -Ontario Good Roads Association Convention
The Committee recommend that the Town Superintendent be authorized to
attend sessions of the convention that he feels will be beneficial and
that the usual expenses be paid.
Item #6 -Street Illumination -Wycliffe Estates -Letter #2-64
The Committee agree that there is some cause for complaint. Different
sizes and types of bulbs are being installed in conjunction with Aurora
Hydro and a report will be forthcoming.
Item #7 -Storm Sewer System -S.E. Quadrant
In view of problems in the Berczy -Metcalfe Street areas with storm
drainage, J.D. Reid & Associates were asked if there was any way this
situation could be improved before the storm sewer separation work
in the area was carried out. (If the work is done in accordance with
roads need study it will be several years away.) Memo #3-11 shows
that the only economical way to solve the problem is to wait until
this area is dealt with under the full sewer and road reconstruction
programme.
Item #8 -Truck Purchase or Lease -Letter #2-45
The Committee considered the alternative and recommend purchase of the
truck mentioned on Page 5 of Letter #2-45.

The Committee support staff recommendations for water rate increases
and have furthermore requested that a by-law be prepared for Council
so that the new rates become effective March 31st, 1978.

The Committee recommend that the Clerk-Administrator and Town
Superintendent prepare a report for Council-in-Committee on same.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report #10 ... Public Safety Committee-Various Matters
A meeting of the Public Safety Committee was held on Monday, January 23,
1978 at 7:00 p.m.
Present: Chairman Wm. Ferguson, Councillor N. Stewart, Fire Chief S.
Wilson and Deputy Fire Chief D. Patrick.
The following matters were discussed:
l. Delegation -The Committee heard from a delegation of residents of the
Aurora Heights and Tecumseh Drive area with regard to a request for
a three-way stop at the junction of Tecumseh Drive and Aurora Heights
Drive. Mrs. Hellard and Mr. H. Fawcett addressed the Committee in this
regard.
After a lengthy discussion wherein the Committee were informed of four
accidents involving children had taken place at this intersection due
to excessive rate of speed of cars, the Committee would recommend that
the intersection of Aurora Heights Drive and Tecumseh Drive be designated
a three-way stop. Stop signs to be erected on the north/east corner and
the south/west corner of Aurora Heights Drive and on the north/east corner
of Tecumseh Drive. The Committee would request the Clerk Administrator
prepare the necessary By-Law.
2. The Committee discussed the problem of using Subdivision streets by cars
to by-pass traffic lights and the need for traffic counts to be made.
In this regard it is understood that the Works Superintendent is now in
the process of updating the Roads Needs Study Report and will be making
traffic counts on all streets running off Yonge Street. The Committee
would defer their request of traffic counts until this report is received
from the Works Suverintendent.
3. Fire Chief Wilson reported on a number of false alarms from one certain
Industry in Town. Upon inspection it was found that the fire alarm
system is hooked up to the heating boiler and when the boiler loses
pressure the alarm is rung. The Fire Chief advises that the alarm system
should be hooked up to the sprinkler system only.
The Committee recommends that a letter be sent to the Company advising
that this change is to be made expeditiously or a charge for the false
alarm calls will be made.
4. The Committee recommends that Chief S. Wilson and Firefighter D. Rose be
authorized to join the Municipal Firefighters Instructors Association.
This Association will provide up to date training instructions for
firefighters.
