REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Report# 52 -Economic Development Committee ... Various Matters (continued)
1. Review of March 28th, 1983 Meeting
(a) Old Police Building
In a telephone conversation with Dick Thomson, the Town Solicitor,
he felt the few remaining problems with the title could be
acceptable to a purchaser, and as long as the easement could be
obtained for the new location of the watermain, he saw no reason why
we could not offer it for sale. He agreed to send a letter to the
Clerk outlining his opinion on this matter.
The Committee would ask Council to decide if this property is to be
sold by public auction or if purchasers should submit offers to the
Council direct.
(b) Old Park Holdings -70.831 Acres of Land
As an acceptable agreement of purchase has been submitted by the
Town of Aurora, the Committee discussed the best way to proceed with
its development.
The Committee would request that Council authorize construction
plans for the Mary Street extension easterly to Wellington Street be
prepared so that the Town would be ready to go to tender immediately
after an agreement of purchase is accepted by Council for a parcel
of the lands that is large enough to defray the major portion of the
cost of the construction of the Mary Street extension.
(c) Dunning Avenue -Edward Street Intersection
The Clerk-Administrator is still endeavouring to obtain appraisals
on these properties.
(d) Aurora Industrial Show 1983
The Industrial show was very successful with 50 industries being
represented out of 64 and 40 displays entered. A financial
statement is attached showing a total deficit of $696.84.
The Committee would recommend that Council authorize the payment to
the Aurora Chamber of Commerce of 50% of the deficit being $348.42
and that this amount be charged to the Economic Development
Committee's budget. The balance of the deficit will be borne by the
Chamber of Commerce as has been the pol icy for the past four (4)
years.
The Committee would further recommend that Council send a letter of
congratulations to the Chamber for their support of this worthwhile
activity.
(e) O.I.D.C. Summer Meeting -June 23-24, 1983
The Committee reviewed the programme for this event and feel they
are 90% settled on the plans and the financing arrangements.
(f) Regional Industrial Promotion Night
The date for the Regional Industrial Promotion Night has been
changed to Wednesday, May 18th, 1983 and will be held at LaParc in
Vaughan. The Committee is working on a suitable display for the
Town of Aurora to enter. Any suggestions from Council would be most
appreciated.
COUNCIL MEETING ... MONDAY, MAY 2nd, 1983
-11 -
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report# 52-Economic Development Committee ... Various Matters (continued)
1. Review of March 28th, 1983 Meeting
(g) Property Maintenance Standards Committee
The Committee was advised that the previous Committee for Property
Maintenance Standards was not reappointed after their term of office
had expired. As conditions of some of the properties in Aurora need
immediate attention, the Economic Development Committee would ask
Council to form a new Property Maintenance Standards Committee as
soon as possible.
2. Transfer of Lands on Scanlon Court
As the value of the Town owned lands within the Industrial Park were valued
at $139,275.00 and the cash difference to be paid to the Town is
$50,000.00. The Committee would ask Council to decide out of which account
the remaining $89,275.00 will be taken from.
3. Ramp to Connect the Library Parking Lot and the Trio Parking Lots
The Committee feels that ingress and egress between these two (2) parking
lots would ease the flow of traffic in this highly congested area of the
downtown core. After considerable research by the Committee, it has been
determined that each property would only lose one (1) parking place if the
connecting ramp was placed directly north of the garages owned by the
Browning Estate.
As the estimated cost of this ramp is less than $2,000.00 and if the owners
of the Trio Restaurant were willing to share 50% of the cost, the Committee
would ask Council to authorize that this ramp be constructed.
4. New Business
The Committee Chairman met on Tuesday, April 12, 1983 with the owner of
Gary's Auto Body in regard to the all steel building. He was asked to
supply the Committee with further information for this Economic Development
meeting but he did not. The Committee will defer any decision on this
matter until they receive this information.
5. Unfinished Business
(a) Letter # 4-59 -Yvonne Cattrall re: Land Purchase or Lease for
Sw1mm1ng Pool
The Chairman contacted Mrs. Cattrall by telephone and was advised
that she would require more time to make her decision and would
again contact us later in May.
The meeting adjournd at 8:15 p.m.

Report# 54-Leisure Services Committee Chairman ... Soccer 1983
The following is respectfully submitted:
A meeting was held Thursday April 14th, 1983, with the Aurora Soccer Alliance Park
Committee.
Present were: Councillor John West, Director of Leisure Services Fred Horvath,
Members: Michael Sharp, Benny Steenhorst, Chris Karalis, Bill
Pritchard, John Traganitis.
A. AGENDA
1. Review of Lease
2.
(a) The legality of the signing Officers was discussed and without some
of the Groups being incorporated, it poses a problem from a legal
point of view. As the lease is not one that will allow lawsuits to
arise, it is recommended that Council accept the signatures as
submitted as part of this Committee with the hopes in the immediate
years incorporation of the Alliance Park Committee be considered.
(b) The term of the lease was discussed and the Aurora Soccer Alliance
Park Committee would like to see a minimum 15 year term with option
to renew for another 10 year period. The lease will be updated
every three years with the Committee members updating the
signatures.
Fence at Aurora High
The York Region Board of Education have sent a letter to the Town requesting
whether the Town would financially support the fence. The Board of
Education feels that it is not their responsibility to pay any costs for
such a venture and will not proceed any further with the request until
financial arrangements are made. The Town of Aurora in an earlier motion
would not pay part or parcel of the fence. The onus would be on the Aurora
Soccer Club Inc. Mr. Steenhorst stated that at this time, the cost is not
feasible as they plan to put all their money into the new Park on Vandorf
Sideroad. It was recommended that Councillor West and Director of Leisure
Services Fred Horvath speak to the President of the Toronto and District
Soccer League and explain the situation to him and asking him to allow the
Aurora Team in the Premiere Division without a fence for the 1983 Season.
Adequate policing will be provided by the Soccer Clubs of Aurora.
A meeting has been scheduled for Saturday May 7th, 1983, at 10:30 a.m. with the
Soccer Clubs to view the existing facilities.
