6. Letters # 19-10 and 19-95 -Outdoor Burning
Not all correspondence was available at this time. The Chief was to pursue
a third letter written by Mayor Timpson. The Committee discussed outdoor
burning and would recommend that ariy fire that is to be lit outdoors as
described in the Town's burning By-Law must have the proper approval from
the Fire Department, obtainable during working hours, whether it be lit by
the public or town staff.
This policy should be made public by way of an information flyer with the
new fire telephone number labels, door-to-door, as well as in a planned
media release at appropriate times.
7. Letter# 2-53-Ministry of the Solicitor General re: Town of Aurora -
Appl1cat1on for Prov1nc1al Auto Extr1cat1on Grant
The Town of Aurora has qualified for a $632.00 outright grant for
extrication equipment on hand and a further $368.00 upon proof of purchase
of equipment to complete our kit .. The Committee recommends that the Town
purchase a "Spredder" for auto access at an approximate price of $1,100.00.
B. CHAIRMAN'S AGENDA
1. Mayor's Memo re: Employer's Night
The Mayor described the merits of holding a gathering of existing and
potential employers of volunteer firefighters for the purpose of a short
demonstration and reception. The aim would be to strengthen the
relationship and develop an understanding between the employer and employee
firefighter and to hopefully encourage more employers to consider the
importance and need for this service.
The Committee would endorse this recommendation for implementation in May
1983.
2. Follow Up -Public Safety Report # 5 dated December 14th, 1982
(a) Fire and Heat Detection -Works Building and Other Town Buildings
Having checked with the Building Department and verifying that the
building officials, like the fire officials, recommend that a
consultant be hired to prepare proper and approved plans for a fire and
heat detection system for the Works Building, the Safety Committee
recommends that a consultant be hired to determine the required
specifications for tendering purposes for the Town's Works Building.
It is further recommended that other Town buildings that are intended
to be equipped this way be inspected at the same time. It is the
staff's opinion that the following buildings, because of their use,
should be protected:
Factory Theatre
Community Centre
It is the staff's opinion that the following buildings, because of the
investment protection value, should be protected:
New Fire Hall
Victoria Hall
Old Fire Hall
McMahon Building

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report# 13-Public Safety Committee ... Various Matters (continued)
3. Letter # 2-58 -Canada Safety Council
The Committee would recommend we continue to give an annual donation in the
amount of $150.00 and that this be budgetted for in the 1983 Budget
submission.
4. Letter # 2-118 -Model Parking By-Law for the Physically Disabled
After discussion, the Committee identified two (2) prominent concerns:
(a) That permits should be portable and not fixed to enable a physically
disabled person to carry with them, regardless of whose vehicle they
are transported in.
(b) That the licensing authority should be universal and not left up to
each municipality for definition and conditions.
The Committee agrees with the concept, but feels further review is required
and recommends that their concerns be forwarded, along with any other
Councillor's concerns, to the A.M.O., who have taken a similar stand on this
issue.
5. Identification of Safety and Fire Department Issues
A base listing of issues that need to be dealt with was drafted by the
Chairman and distributed to Committee members. Members were asked to add
their items and return the list to the Chairman by January 24th, 1983 in
order that a Master list can be formulated. It is the Committee's intention
to priorize this listing at our meeting of February 1st, 1983.
6. Fire Telephone Status
Cards and stickers have been ordered for our new number. A meeting is to be
held between the Clerk and Bell Canada on January 5th, 1983, hopefully to
finalize. Within one (1) week of final approval, the lines are expected to
be ready for testing.
7. Letter# 20-76-Barbara Armstrong Interiors Limited re: Parking-St.
Andrews Court
Before arriving at a conclusion, the Committee would recommend that reports
from Mr. Wm.G. Walker and Chief S.G. Wilson be prepared with regard to the
parking situation on St. Andrews Court.
8. S. and B. Faudemer -Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Although the Committee appreciates the Faudemer proposal, for reasons of
precedence --Fire Hall rental for commercial gain and similar concerns, the

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 16 -Administrative and Finance Committee .•. Various Matters (continued)
1. Letter 14-102 -Technical Drafting Credit Obtained by S. Szeker
Mr. Szeker completed a drafting course at Seneca College in April, 1982, but
did not submit an application to Council in accordance with Policy 2.18.13,
and did not meet the requirements for {a) Required Training; {b) Optional
Training; nor 2.18.14 Other Training.
Therefore the Committee recommends that no allowance be made to Mr. Szeker
under the Educational Policy.
However, Mr. Szeker has supplied several personal drafting tools
(approximate value $56.00) which are being used by Works Department staff on
a daily basis.
Therefore the Committee recommends that the Works Superintendent arrange to
purchase the equipment from Mr. Szeker at a price not to exceed the
appropriate value, or arrange to purchase required new equipment, so that
Mr. Szeker can retain possession of his personal equipment.
2. Letter 16-20 -St. John Ambulance
Ontario Provincial Headquarters of St. John Ambulance have requested a
contribution to help St. John Ambulance continue its work in Ontario. The
Committee agrees that the charitable volunteer work of St. John Ambulance
is worthwhile, but in keeping with the Committee's policy of supporting
local organizations, rather than provincial or national groups, it cannot
support the request.
Therefore, the Committee recommends that no action be taken, but support be
considered for a local organization as may be required at the time of the
application.
3. Letter 2-3 -Year End Report -1982 Bylaw Enforcement
The Committee received this report as information. However, one section of
the report requested funds for attendance at a seminar or a course of
training concerning the new Provincial Officers Act.
Therefore the Committee recommends that this section of the report be dealt
with by the appropriate Department Head in accordance with current policy.

Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) in the total amount of $200.00 to pay full

total amount of $200.00.

8. Letter 2-102 -CAMA -1983 Membership
The Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators is a national
organization serving as a voice for municipal administrators in much the
same manner as the Federation of Canadian Municipalities speaks for
municipal politicians. The Town of Aurora does not have its own membership
in the FCM, and when required has used the Region of York membership. The
Committee questions the value of national municipal organizations compared
to provincial municipal organizations.
Therefore the Committee recommends that the 1983 membership in the CAMA be
approved in the total amount of $75.00, and the Clerk-Administrator prepare
a cost/benefit analysis prior to consideration of the 1984 membership.
9. Letter 2-104 -Consumer's Association of Canada re Bell Canada
The Consumer's Association of Canada plans to intervene with the CRTC
regarding Bell's proposal to reorganize which would have a significant
effect on the rates charged by Bell Canada for its basic telephone service.
CAC has requested previous supporters to support their petition.
In April 1981, Council supported CAC in their efforts before the CRTC re
Bell's 1981 rate increase application and made a donation in the amount of
14 per capita ($157.92). In July 1982, in regards to another application
for a rate increase, Council approved the writing of a strongly worded
letter to Bell Canada.
The Committee recommends that Council write to CAC supporting their efforts
and approve a donation of $100.00 to assist them in their work.
10. Letter 2-134 -East Central Ontario Seminar for Building Officials
The Ontario Association of Property Standards Officer and the Ontario
Building Officials are holding a two day seminar in Peterborough during the
latter part of February 1983. The seminar includes discussion on many
topics with which our building officials deal on a day to day basis, e.g.
Ontario Building Code; Connected Dwellings; Electrical Problems in Old
Houses; Plumbing Conversion, etc. Both areas of the seminar relate to the
day-to-day work in property standards and building inspect ion.
Therefore the Committee recommends that Mr. William Benzies be authorized to
attend the above referenced seminar and the normal expenses be allowed.
11. Letter 3-12 -Ontario Municipal Personnel Association
The Town of Aurora has been a member of the OMPA for several years and has
received considerable worthwhile information regarding labour relations and
negotiation.
Therefore the Committee recommends that the Town renew its membership at a
cost of $60.00.
12. Letter 3-17 -Ontario Building Officials Association 1983 Courses
The OBOA sponsors several education courses in conjunction with the
University of Western Ontario. Mr. William Benzies has successfuly
completed the Basic Part 9 course previously, and would like to proceed and
take the Advanced Part 3 course and/or the Law course. The Advanced Part 3
course costs $650.00 resident and $335.00 non-resident and is held March
20-25. The Law course costs $700.00 resident and $365.00 non-resident.
Students are eligible for a $100.00 grant under the Provincial Municipal
Action 85 program.

section of the Education Policy.
13. Letter 3-18 -Ontario Municipal Management Development Board
The Ontario Municipal Management Development Board was established in 1979
as a non-profit corporation representing 12 municipal professional
associations, AMO, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and
educational institutions. The OMMDB has been working to assist
municipalities to improve their capacity for effective management.
When the Board was first established, it was agreed that the Ministry would
provide most of the initial funding for the Board, and that the proportion
derived from municipal sources would be increased until it became the
Board's main source of revenues. The Board feels it is now appropriate that
the municipalities, as beneficiaries of the program, provide additional
support. The fee schedule is $50.00 per municipality plus $1.00 per
full-time employee. The cost to the Town of Aurora will be approximately
$110.00. The Committee has learned that the Town has made little use of the
services of the OMMDB due to the location and content of their seminars.
Therefore the Committee recommends that no action be taken to support the
OMMDB at this time.
14. Letter 3-20 -York San it at ion
York Sanitation has advised that effective January 1st, 1983 the new rate
for pick up and disposal of the residential wastes in the Town of Aurora
will be $14.26 per capita. This represents an increase of $1.10 over 1982,
based on a previously agreed formula using the CPI.
Therefore the Committee recommends approval of the above referenced rate
structure.
15. Farm Tax Rebate
The Minister of Agriculture and Food has announced a restructured farm tax
system to be fully implemented by the 1984 taxation year. Enabling
legislation is to be introduced during the 1983 Spring Session. There are
some 60 farms in Aurora that have one or more residential units thereon.
Based on the information available, the proposed legislation should not only
enrich our taxes, but provide prompt payment of taxes in order that the
rebate may be gained.
Therefore the Committee recommends this item be received as information.
16. 1982-1983 Chamber of Commerce Membership
The Town of Aurora paid its 1982-1983 membership fee in the Aurora Chamber
of Commerce in September 1982 (Report 73) and is entitled to three voting
representatives. Luncheon meetings are held on the last Wednesday of each
month and members and guests are welcome. The charge for the luncheon
meeting is $7.oo·and payment will be the responsibility of the individual
Council members.
The Committee recommends that Mayor Dick Illingworth and Councillors Norm
Stewart and Martin Paivio be appointed voting members of the Chamber, but
other members of Council be encouraged to attend whenever possible.
