REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
2.. Letter #7-20 -A letter was read from the Aurora & District Ministerial
Association expressing its disappointment with the scheduling of
Recreation Hockey for 6 to 8 year old boys on Sunday mornings. They
ask that strong consideration be given to altering these times so that
the youngsters can attend Sunday School. Mrs. P. Ferguson is to look
into this matter and attempt to satisfy this request, if possible.
Business Arising From Minutes:
1. Tim Jones informed the committee that as President of the Aurora Tennis
Club he had put in for an Experience 78 grant. This grant is to pay
supervision costs for students to work at the Tennis Courts during
the summer. He asked the committee if it was possible for these students
to be paid through the Town payroll; such monies to be reimbursed
periodically by the club. He suggested that in this way it would save
the Club a lot of work. K. Tonner was in agreement and could not see
any reason why this could not be done and suggested that the Tennis
Club work through P. Ferguson and E. Batson in all aspects of this
suggestion. The committee recommends to Council that this request be
accepted.
2. As no agreement exists between the Aurora Tennis Club and the Town of
Aurora, Tim Jones and P. Ferguson are to work out a suitable agreement
for presentation to Council at a later date.
Ne:w Business:
1. Letter #3-158 -A letter was read from Theatre Aurora to Mayor Timpson in
which they request some renovations to Factory Theatre. K. Tonner
informed the Committee that he had met with the Theatre Aurora represen-
tatives and found that their requests were of a minor nature. The
Committee recommends Theatre Aurora be permitted to make these minor
renovations at their own expense.
2. K. Tonner also reported that some citizens of the Town are interested in
establishing a Youth Drop-In Centre arid stated that they would do all
staffing of such a centre, but request information and assistance in
establishing one, should a facility be found to house them. P. Miller
suggested that this group send a representative to meet with Mrs. P.
Ferguson to further discuss the proposal.
3. P. Miller stated that Paul Torkoff, D.J. in Town, had suggested that some
dances be arranged for the teenagers in Town, and feels that the success of the
free dance at last July 1st was an indication of the youngs.ters' interest.
P. Miller is to inform Mr. Torkoff that E. Batson will meet with him to
discuss this suggestion.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
4. P. Miller stated that it is his opinion that the Town of Aurora is
not receiving its fair share of Wintario grants, and feels that the
Town should have one special person doing nothing else but investigating
all forms of grants available to the Town. The Committee recommends
to Council that this be followed up and suggests that Ray Boogaards,
who will be employed by the Town as of April 17th for the Pool and
Recreation supervision, be given this position and that strong consider-
ation be given to hiring him on a fulltime basis.
5. P. Miller mentioned the fact that should Church Street School building come
under the Heritage Foundation in any event the main floor and downstairs
area will remain under the jurisdiction of the Recreation Department.
He mentioned that it was suggested many months ago that Mrs. P. Ferguson
be given an office in this building and as yet nothing had been done.
The Committee recommends to Council that the office for Mrs. Ferguson,
as originally designated, be equipped with a telephone and furniture,
etc. so that Mrs. Ferguson can establish a Recreation office in the
Church Street building.
6. P. Miller mentioned the 10 acres adjacent to the Canadian Legion building
will very shortly be the property of the Town of Aurora and asked that
P. Ferguson and E. Batson draw up a plan to include baseball diamonds
and. soccer pitches, etc. on part of this area.
7. P. Miller stated that the Optimists Club is interested in assisting in
establishing a skate board area in Fleury Park; this area would require
asphalting, etc. The Committee wholeheartedly supports this suggestion
and E. Batson is to contact J. Dixon of the Optimists Club for further
discussion.
8. P. Miller stated that the Aurora Minor Football Association wishes to build,
at some time in the future, change rooms and a club house in Machell
Park, and requests consideration in this matter. The committee approves
of this suggestion and recommends to Council that this proposal, when
submitted, be given strong consideration.
Staff Report:
Ray Boogaards reported to the Committee that he had applied on behalf of the
Town of Aurora for several grants in respect to Recreation programmes. These
applications are as follows: Young Canada Works $10,640.00; Secretary of
State (Ladies Fitness) Federal Government -$3,000.00/$5,000.00; Experience
'78 (Swim Team) $1,500.00/$3,000.00; Experience '78 (Tennis Courts) $18,318.00.
