REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report# 14-Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on Thursday, January 21,
1982 at 7:30 p.m. in the Economic Development Chairman's Office.
Present Were: Chairman Earl Stewart and Councillors Tim Jones and Elinora
Stoddart.
1. Review of September 18th Meeting
(a) Old Police Building
The Committee noted that clearing of the title of this property was
still not settled but were shown a development proposal for the
property from a prospective purchaser should it become available for
sal e.
(b) Servicing of Aurora's Industrial Park # 2
The Chairman reported that the major portion of the road and servicing
has been completed with the exception of the sodding of the boulevards,
the installation of the pumping mechanism for the sewage lift station
and the final coat of asphalt. This work is scheduled for completion
in the Spring of 1982.
(c) Development of the Downtown Core
The Committee understand that negotiations are now being handled by the
Downtown Business Association to ascertain the degree of interest by
the merchants for the creation of a Business Improvement Area. To date
response has been favourable.
(d) Property Maintenance Standards By-Law Number 2284-79
The Committee reviewed a report dated December 15, 1981 from William
Benzies, Property Standards Officer and John Insley, Municipal Law
Enforcement and Provincial Offences Officer. The Committee was pleased
to receive this report which showed co-operation and improvements in
the majority of the 15 areas of concern. There still are four areas
that may require Council to consider further action to gain the
required results.
The Committee would request that Council discuss this matter at an
In-Camera meeting.
2. Extension of Industrial Parkway to St. John's Sideroad
Negotiations with Revlis and Densbury are proceeding favourably and the
location of the sewer easement for the York-Durham sewage pipe has been
established. Final approval of the roadway location has not yet been
received from the property owners but is expected shortly.
As the completion of the installation of the York-Durham sewage pipe on the
Revlis and Densbury properties will not likely be completed until late Fall
of 1982, it does not seem at this time to be advisable to proceed with the
road construction.
The Committee would recommend, however, that Council authorize a study be
commenced immediately, to determine if any environmental, engineering or
social problems could arise through the use of the St. John's Sideroad as
part of the Industrial Parkway's link to Yonge Street.

Report# 14 -Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
3. Financial Position of the Industrial Account
Although the accounts credit balance is low at this time, no large
expenditures are forthcoming before the end of February when another sale is
expected to close which will more than pay for any future costs of servicing
both for the second Industrial Park and the final coat of asphalt in Park
Number 1.
4. Advertising
The Committee agreed that advertisement of the remaining industrial lands
should be started in February. It was also suggested that some funds be
allotted in the 1982 budget to place advertisements to attract Commercial
Development to Aurora.
5. History of Aurora
(a) The draft copy of the History of Aurora has been available to Council
for several weeks and the Committee would like Council to report their
suggestions to the Committee, as soon as possible, so that final
editing of the book can be started within the next month. The
Committee would recommend to Council that a qualified person be engaged
to edit the book and to include a number of interesting photos before
it is sent to the printers.
(b) Although Miss Stuart has sent a letter to the Chairman (copy enclosed)
waiving the charge for her services, the Committee feels that Miss
Stuart has more than earned the $250.00 fee she asked for on May 4th,
1981, to which Council agreed, and the Committee would recommend to
Council that Miss Stuart be sent a cheque for this amount together with
a letter of appreciation from Council.
6. O.I.D.C. Membership Dues -1982
The Committee would recommend that Council authorize the payment of the
Membership dues for the Chairman in the amount of $75.00.
7. Economic Development Course at Waterloo University
As the Ontario Government is again offering a limited number of Scholarships
for O.I.D.C. members from municipalities, the Committee would recommend that
Council authorize that applications be sent to the O.I.D.C. for Councillor
Stewart in the amount of $400.00 for a three (3) day seminar and also for
Councillor Stoddart in the amount of $500.00 for a one (1) week Year I
Course.
8. Hosting of an O.I.D.C. -June 1983 Meeting
As Council had previously agreed to act as host for a 1982 O.I.D.C. meeting
and as the 1982 meeting dates have already been allotted, the Committee
would ask Council to authorize the Committee to accept an offer by the
O.I.D.C. to host their June 1983 meeting provided that a suitable number of
rooms can be arranged for at the Hotel Aurora.
The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.

1. Bus Service for Industrial Park
The Committee has been given information that there may be a need to provide
public bus service within the Industrial Park area. In order to determine
the size of the demand and the time of day when such service would be
utilized, the Committee recommends that a questionnaire be sent to the
Industries presently operating in the Industrial Area to ascertain the
following information:
a. How many potential users are there if the service is provided?
b. Is there any time of day at which the service waul d be more widely used
than at other times of day.
c. Any other relevant information.
2. Ontario Building Officials Association Courses
Pursuant to the pol icy adopted and modified by Council regarding educational
courses to be taken by staff, the Committee recommends that Mr. William
Benzies and Mr. Steve Douglas be authorized to take, respectively, the
Advanced Part III Course and the Basic Part IX Course at the University of
Western Ontario run under the sponsorship of the O.B.O.A.
The Committee advises that a refund of all or part of the costs of taking
these courses, according to Council's policy, can be considered "after the
employee has completed one year of satisfactory service with the Town of
Aurora following the successful completion of the course". Therefore, the
reimbursement would not occur until 1983 and need not be considered until
1983 for budget purposes.
