Reference is made to a letter from Aurora Hydro dated November 22, 1982 (1-117)
which was considered by Council on December 13, 1982. Aurora Hydro adopted a rate
structure for 1983 subject to the approval of Ontario Hydro. Ontario Hydro
requires that Aurora Hydro obtain a letter of approval from Aurora Council stating
that Council will include the amount of $200,000 in the 1983 Capital Expenditure
forecast for possible debenture issues, if required by Aurora Hydro.
Council approved the request of Aurora Hydro on December 13, 1982. However, it was
requested that the Mayor contact Aurora Hydro for further information.
This was discussed at an Aurora Hydro Commission meeting on December 17, 1982.
Aurora Hydro agree in the principle of "pay-as-you-go", instead of debenturing, but
were r~quired to include the $200,000 amount in order to get Ontario Hydro's
approval of the 1983 rate structure. Aurora Hydro has submitted a resolution to
District 4 of OMEA protesting Ontario Hydro's action and hope to receive the
support of other utilities in order to obtain greater local autonomy from Ontario
Hydro. The resolution will be considered January 12, 1983 and further information
will be provided at that time.

from Councillor John West.
1. Letter 20-83 and 2-36 -Reclassification of Staff Members
Some concern was expressed about the lack of a policy for reclassification
of staff members, as to anniversary date, and other factors.
It is therefore recommended that Council in Committee review the Evans
Report and recommend a reclassification policy to Council .. Current
requests for reclassification to be held pending the review and back-dated
when approved.
2. Letter 20-86 -Report of Live Stock Valuer
Live Stock Valuer David Paisley investigated the death of two ewes and one
lamb on the farm of John Hickson on November 9, 1982. The animals were
killed by wolves and are valued at a total of $370.00. The expenses in
regard to this valuation are $35.40.
It is recommended that the claim in the total amount of $370.00 and expenses
in the amount of $35.40 be approved for payment and the Town make the
necessary application to the province for recovery of funds.
3. Letter 20-80 -Late Payment Charge
The Aurora Branch of the Royal Bank of Canada are making tax payments on
behalf of the residents of 65 Golf Links Drive. The Bank claims that the tax
bill was not previously received and therefore they should not be assessed
the late payment charge of $10.31. Investigation indicates that financial

del ay payment.
