2. Letter 5-45 -Shortill and Peddle
3.
4.
5.
The Committee recommends that the tax penalty in the total amount of $4.60
be written off as the tax notices were sent to the wrong party and this
caused the delay in payment of taxes. The tax notices were sent to the last
owner as indicated on the assessment rolls.
Aurora Public Library -1982 Wintario Grant
The Committee recommends that the Town of Aurora approve of contributing
$3,000.00 of the 1982 Municipal budget toward the proposed purchases of
certain Canadian manufactured items under the Wintario Library program.
Because the Provincial fiscal year ends on March 31st, 1982, it is possible
for the Library Board to make application and obtain a Wintario Grant in the
previous fiscal year without eliminating itself from consideration later on
in 1982 or in early 1983 for another grant under this program.
The Committee advises that the original request had been in the amount of
$4,500.00 and that the reduction to $3,000.00 is made possible through the
generous donation from Bertha Andrews, sister of the late Marjory Andrews,
who has donated the family piano to the Library.
Bus Shelter -East Side Victoria Street
The Committee recommends that a bus shelter be purchased at an approximate
cost of $1,300.00 to be placed on the east side of Victoria Street in a
location accessible to both the Aurora Public Library and Church Street
School. The Committee further recommends that application be made for
Ministry of Transportation and Communications subsidy so that any
subsidization of the cost for the bus shelter can be obtained, if such a
subsidy is available.
Tax Penalties
The Committee recommends that effective May 1st, 1982 the tax penalty on
outstanding taxes current and arrears, be increased to 18% per year as
permitted by The Municipal Act. The Committee further recommends that
authorization be given for the introduction of the appropriate bill to give
effect to this recommendation.
6. Appointment to Aurora Public Library Board
The Committee recommends that Mr. Philip Gebhardt be appointed to the Aurora
Public Library Board to complete the unexpired term of Mr. Sid H. Britton
which was to expire on November 30th, 1984 and continue either until he is
reappointed or a successor be appointed.
