A. CORRESPONDENCE
1. Letters # 5-63 and 6-65 re: Employees' Association
It was agreed that letters 5-63 and 6-65 re: Employees' Association be
referred to an "in camera" meeting of this Committee.
2. Letter 5-70 -Downtown Aurora Business Improvement Area re: 1983 Budget.
The total BIA budget is $35,000 including $11,250 for administration; $7,500
for promotion; $12,750 for streetscape restoration and beautification and
$3,500 for contingency and reserve. The Board of Management for the BIA
have requested collection of the special levy in three equal payments on
February 28; June 30 and September 30, 1983.
Subsection 10 of section 217 of the Municipal Act states:
"A Board of Management established under subsection (1) shall submit to the
Council its estimates for the current year at the time and in the form
prescribed by Council and may make requisitions upon the Council for all
sums of money required to carry out its powers and duties, but nothing
herein divests the Council of its authority with reference to rejecting such
estimates in whole or in part or providing the money for the purposes of the
Board of Management and when money is so provided by the Council, the
Treasurer shall, upon the certificate of the Board of Management, pay out
such money to the Board of Management."
The Treasurer advises that the special levy may be included with the regular
tax bills in June, July and September.
The Committee therefore recommends:
(a) While the Committee is concerned about the total amount of the
Budget for the first year, it recommends approval.
{b) That the Treasurer be authorized to make payments to the Board of
Management in three equal instalments on March 31, June 30 and
September 30, 1983, and
(c) That the Treasurer be authorized to make a special ·levy on members
of the BIA with the regular tax bills in June, July and September,
1983.

objective of $8,450,000. The Foundation, through its local Committee, are
canvassing Aurora residents directly and also have a business appeal
campaign.
While the Committee recognizes the excellent work of the Ontario Heart
Foundation, it does not believe that public funds should be donated when
taxpayers are also being asked to donate. Therefore, the Committee
recommends that no action be taken.

F1nancial Information Return
The Town Auditors have completed their audit scrutiny of the 1982 financial
operations of Aurora, its local boards and water utility system; with the
exception of the Aurora Hydro Electric System which will not be audited
until the latter part of March.
As the final statements are in the process of typing, the Treasurer's
preliminary comments were accepted as information. It should be noted,
however, that the year end deficit is $91,764. The Treasurer also points
out two areas of concern:
(a) Code 112-09 -allowance for uncollected taxes appears too small
when related to total taxes outstanding, and
(b) Code 140-01 -the working capital reserve has not been increased
for year and may be too little under present day
conditions.
The Committee recommends that the Town Auditor be invited to present his
report and comments to Council on March 21st, 1983.
6. Letter 6-78-Aurora Lions Club re: April District Lions Convention
On April 22-24, 1983, the Aurora Lions Club will host the Annual District

investors, planners and municipalities in capitalizing on the potential for
tourism development. The Ministry will provide up to 60 per cent of the
costs for a tourism development plan. Municipalities must be prepared to
contribute the other 40 per cent as well as assume the lead role in all
aspects of the study program.
The Committee recommends that more information be obtained from the Ministry
and a follow-up report will be submitted at a later date.

officials to work together with business and civic leaders, schools,
churches, social agencies and the media to build a sense of community
responsibility for all aspects of the Justice System and to encourage public
involvement in crime prevention.
As police are the responsibility of the region, and the Courts are located
in Newmarket, this letter was discussed by the Regional Administration
Committee and it was suggested that it be referred to the Chief Justice of
the York Courts for whatever act ion could be arranged.
The Committee recommends that no action be taken in Aurora and Council
support the regional action.

Pathfinder Units in Aurora offering a variety of activities to the girls

the operating expenses of running the North and South Aurora Districts.
The Committee recommends that the Town make a grant of $550 as in 1982.
10. Letter 6-95-Aurora Public Library re: Fire Alarm System
The Library Board advises that although the estimates for the installation
of a fire alarm system were in the $15,000 range, the actual tendered price
was only $5,300. The Committee was not aware if payment had been made
resulting in an overlevy, or if payment was still outstanding.
The Committee recommends that additional information be obtained from the
Treasurer and a subsequent report will be submitted to Council.

is that of their December 1982 price which is:
Town Owned

All other terms and conditions of the agreement to be the same.
Due to the fluid condition of world gas prices, the Committee recommends

fuel escalator clause be reviewed after three months from the signing of the
agreement.
13. Letter 6-102 -Mr. Claude Arcand re: Aurora Animal Control Service

latter amount. An outline of year end balances for the past nine years are
as follows:

The Town each year levies for the deficit which is written off in the

1982 the Town paid $38,660 for repair to the Community Centre roof. The

(c) That the Leisure Services Committee continue its review of the
operation of the Community Centre and submit a report to Council by
April 15, 1983.
Leisure Services ended 1982 with a surplus position of $2,437 and added to
the prior year's surplus amounts to an accumulated revenue position of
$3,141. The 1982 town grant was budgeted at $95,520 and the actual amount
advanced was $90,487.
The Committee recommends that the operation of Leisure Services insofar as
it relates to the Community Centre, be included with the review of the
Community Centre operator.
The Water Supply System operated economically and produced excellent
revenues in 1982 so that a surplus is normally transferred to the Water
Reserve Fund which amounted to $424,852 at December 31, 1982.
The Committee recommends that the 1982 surplus of $261,033 be transferred to
the Water Reserve Fund.

Annual North Amer1can Snow Conference 1n Hartford Connect1cut 1n Apr1l
The estimated cost for registration, transportation and accommodation is
$854.48.
The Committee recommends that the request be referred to the Works Committee
for input as to the value of the course as it relates to the operation of
the Town of Aurora.
B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Fire Truck Tender -Method of Payment
Reference is made to Minutes of Council dated February 21, 1983 (page 19) in
which the tender for a 100' Aerial Truck be awarded to C.E. Hickey and Sons
at a total cost of $255,810.00. It was further resolved that the
Administration Committee advise of funding allocation of financial payments
for this Aerial Ladder Truck.
The terms of payment as outlined in the tender document calls for a 30
percent payment ($76,743.00) in four months with the final payment of 70
percent on delivery in approximately one year ($179,067.00).
The Committee recommends that the first payment of $76,743.00 be made on or
about July 1, 1983 and payment made from the Vehicle Replacement Reserve
Account which currently stands at approximately $172,000 (less $11,030.00
previously authorized for the 3/4 ton pick-up vehicle).
As the final payment is not required until at least March 1, 1984, the
Committee further recommends that Council consider funds in the 1983 Budget
for the Vehicle Replacement Reserve Account, or using a percentage of the
current lot levy as a means of supplementing the Vehicle Replacement Reserve
Account.
