REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Appearing as a delegation at the In Camera session was Mr. Colin Crawford
and Mr. John Jones of Crawford-Jones Advertising Ltd.
Item #1 Letter 6-61 -Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental
Affairs
Letter 5-45 -Ontario Municipal Personnel Association
The Committee recommends that both of these letters be received as information.
Item #2 -Letter 6-62 -Memo from Town of Aurora Treasurer
The Committee recommends that this letter be received as information.
The Committee further recommends that the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and
Intergovernmental Affairs be asked to examine the wasteful, expensive and
inefficient system of health care in the Province of Ontario with an eye to
making the system more cost effective as a method of reducing the costs of the
O.H.I.P. programme. The Committee feels that this approach would be more
publicly acceptable than an increase of 37.5% in O.H.I.P. premiums in order
to meet the great costs of O.H.I.P.
Item #3 -Letter 6-27 -Aurora Minor Football Association -1978 Grant Request
The Committee recommends that the A.M.F.A. be requested to submit a financial
statement for their most recent fiscal year and further that they be sent a
copy of the criteria upon which grants are based for 1978 in order that their
application may be processed further.
Item #4 -Aurora Minor Soccer Association -Request for 1978 Grant
The Committee recommends that this request for a grant be not approved because
of the good financial position of the Aurora Minor Soccer Association as noted
in their 1977 financial statement. The Committee further emphasizes this
lack of financial support from the Town of Aurora does not indicate a lack
of support for Minor Soccer, but rather indicates an inability to provide public
funds at this time.
The Committee further recognizes that the Aurora Minor Soccer Association
provides a valuable service in the town and we congratulate them upon their
being so financially self-sufficient.
Item #5 -Letter 6-11 -Aurora Horse Show
The Committee recommends that this annual request for the prize for the
Town of Aurora Shield Jumper Stake in the amount of $500.00 be approved.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Item #6 -Letter 5-81 -Canadian Union of Public Employees
The Committee recommends that this letter be received as information, the.
letter serving as a notice of intent to bargain.
The Committee recommends that in future years an earlier start for negotiations
be pursued so that negotiations for the next contract start well before the
termination of the present contract on March 31st, of any given year.
Furthermore, the Committee recommends that a change in the term of the agree-
ment to end the agreement on December 31st be pursued so that Council will be
in a better position to budget more accurately. The Committee recommends that
these two items be included among those items to be negotiated from the town's
position during the course of negotiations.
Item #7 -Delegation of Mr. Colin Crawford and Mr. John Jones of Crawford-Jones
Advertising Ltd.
The Committee studied the survey carried out by Crawford-Jones Advertising to
investigate the feasibility of potential of their proposal. The Committee
reports that the study appears very favourable.
The Committee recommends that the Town of Aurora Transit Co-Ordinator be
requested to work out the details of this agreement with Crawford-Jones
Advertising so that the final agreement may be submitted to Council for its
consideration as soon as possible. At that time the Committee recommends
that Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign such an agreement on behalf
of the Town of Aurora.
Item #8 -Recommendations as the result of 1978 Budget Review
(a) The Committee recommends that a Safety Committee be set up from within
the Works Department in order to reduce the number of claims to
Workmens' Compensation.
(b) The Committee recommends that the Town of Aurora Building Inspector
receive a mileage allowance of $40.00 per month plus any out-of-town
mileage rather than the present $87.50 per month.
(c) The Committee recommends that 1979 budget preparation include 1978
actuals for both revenues and expenditures.
Item #9 -Letter 6-74 1976 and prior tax write-offs
The Committee recommends that the attached list of taxes in the amount of
$24,313.41 be written off.
