Present Were: Councillor L. Ostick, Councillor R. Simmons, Councillor T. Jones,
Town Superintendent Wm.G. Walker, Mr. Paul Gleason (Reid &
Associates).
Item #1 -Water Consumption
The Town Superintendent was unable to give a full report because some statistics
were not available from the Region.
From an interim verbal report, it is obvious that the Town is continuing a high use
of water on a per capita basis.
The Committee recommend that watering restrictions be put into effect and enforced
as rigidly as possible.
Item #2 -Information Pamphlet
The Committee approved the final draft of the Works Department Section and
instructed the Town Superintendent to produce a complete draft for Council in
Committee on June 11th, 1980.
Item #3 -Watermain Swabbing
The Town Works Department have been unable to maintain the recommended programme of
swabbing {25% of the Town each year).
The Committee recommend that the quotation of Ontario Hydrant Repair and Service
and Pipeline Cleaning be accepted in the amount of $12,100.00 and in addition to
this, hydrant repair costs of approximately $4,000.00 be likewise approved. The
Town Superintendent should then be authorized to issue the necessary purchase
order.
The Town Superintendent has been instructed to train town employees to take over
this work whenever it is more economical than contracting the work out.
It is recommended that this work be paid for out of Water Reserve.
Item #4 -Yonge Street Pumping Station Extra
Mr. Gleason of Reid & Associates attended the meeting to explain the interim
payment to Simcoe Mechanical Ltd. which contained extras of approximately

6 • Liquor Licence Act, 1975
Stewart:
Tonner:
Whereas Section 6, Subsection 5, Clause (a) of Ontario Regulations
1008/75 under the Liquor Licence Act, 1975, requires that "the total
receipts from the sale of liquor in any month shall not exceed the total
receipts from the sale of food in the same month";
And Whereas th.is regulation in its application is causing many small
restauranteurs and businessmen hardship in that failure to fulfill this
regulation results in the L.L.B.O. ordering that their hours of business
be shortened;
And Whereas such shortening of hours makes it even more difficult for
such establishments to generate revenues to pay their bills, to provide
employment and to stay in business;
And Whereas since 1975, the cost of liquor products (liqueurs, wines,
liquors and beers) has increased by 88% to the present;
And Whereas since 1975, the cost of food products has increased 70% in
the same period;
And Whereas the prices of liquor products are also subject to an
additional tax of 12% for sale in a licenced establishment and are also
subject to increases in the excise tax imposed by the Provincial and
Federal Government;
Therefore Be It Resolved that the Council of the Town of Aurora request
the Government of the Province of Ontario to amend the aforementioned
regulation to allow a 70 per cent liquor sale, 30 percent food sale in
such establishments.
And Further that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the area
municipalities within the Regional Municipality of York to Ontario Small
Urban Municipalities, to Association of Municipalities of Ontario, to
Wm. Hodgson, M.P.P. and to the Honourable Frank Drea, Minister of
Consumer and Commercial Affairs and to the Honourable William Davis,
Premier of Ontario.
