Having received and reviewed a report submitted by Works Superintendent
Wm.G. Walker re: Determination of Warrants for a Multi-way Stop at this
location, in that none of the four (4) criteria based on Regional Warrants
were met even at peak times, the Committee maintains that NO Multi-way Stop
be erected at this location.
The Committee also recommends that stop sign policy information in
residential areas be requested from Newmarket, Richmond Hill, North York and
Toronto.
The Committee, further recommends that the George/Kennedy Intersection and
similar locations currently under review by the Committee, be taken into
consideration when the "Town Review of Safety Situations" is being
discussed, and the York Regional Police Force be asked to send a Safety
Representative to review the findings of our Committee at our July meeting,
with the purpose of including their opinions in the recommendations to be
presented to Council.
2. Fire Regulating By-Law
3.
The Chief and the Clerk will draft a proposed By-Law, considering a recently
reviewed draft By-Law from the Fire Marshal's Office, at such time as the
Full Time Firefighters contract has been agreed to.
Model By-Law for the Physically Disabled
The Deputy Clerk is now working with Richmond Hill, Markham and Vaughan in
creating a common By-Law applicable for disabled residents within all four
(4) municipalities. The Committee hopes the Province will recognize the
collective example being set here and examine a By-Law for use throughout
Ontario regarding the issuing of permits for disabled persons' parking
requirements.

Mayor's Memo dated April 12th, 1983 re: Fire and Heat Detection -Town
Buildings
The Chief has replied to the Mayor on the current status of this matter.
The Committee recommends that the Clerk proceed in requesting updated
quotations from fire alarm manufacturers who can work with our staff in
determining the needs and costs, in a similar manner to that of the Library.
For Council's information, the Chief reported that Retrofit was passed by
the Province (Ontario Regulation 730/81-Part 9} on Fr1day, April 29,

7. Canada Safety Council Conference-June 26-29, 1983
The Committee recommends that Councillor Norm Stewart be authorized to
attend with expenses according to Town Policy (Account 1000-48). At
Councillor Stewart's request the dates and location of this conference are
Sunday, June 26th to Wednesday, June 29th, 1983 in Moncton, New Brunswick.
8. Ontario Highrise Conference
The Chief and Fire Prevention Officer attended this one (1) day conference
in Toronto and reported that it was NOT beneficial and would not recommend
going to another one unless changes in content occur. The Committee
recommends this evaluation be communicated to the Conference organizers.
9. Dictaphone at Fire Hall, Extended Service
Considering that our dictaphone is three (3) years old and has required two
(2) service calls this year at $60.00 per hour, it is recommended by the
Committee that the Town enter into an extended service contract on an annual
basis at a price of $159.00 plus 7%. Funds budgetted in account 2000-53.
10. Chainsaw Purchase
After reviewing two (2) proposals, the Committee recommends that the Chief
be authorized to purchase a "Stihl" Chainsaw at a price of $362.89. This is
a saw assembled in Toronto and considered most suitable to the Department
needs. Funds were budgetted for this item on account 2000-14.
11. Fire Chief's Meeting -May 5th, 1983 at the Fire Hall
The Chief reported that our Department was hosting a meeting of all Regional
Fire Chiefs for the purpose of information sharing and improving
communication channels among them. Items such as Mutual Aid and Emergency
Planning will be topics for discussion.
12. Fire Report for April
To date 156 calls have been received since December 1st, 1982, of note, four
(4) resusciator calls were received in APRIL, and on one (1) occasion an
ambulance was not available locally and we had to wait for one summoned from
Holland Landing.
13. Grass Cutting Around the Fire Hall
The Committee would recommend that the Director of Leisure Services be asked
to arrange through the Parks Department that some minor ground preparation
be done behind and to the north of the Fire Hall in order to make this
ground suitable for regular maintenance and cutting.
The Committee further requests that the Parks Department be directed to cut
the grass around the Hall as part of their maintenance schedule for Town
owned and maintained grounds.
14. 1983 Fire Report
The Committee would commend the report of the Fire Chief to Council
outlining the Fire Department activity for 1982.
15. Chimneys
The Committee would strongly recommend that all home owners with fireplaces
have their chimney cleaned prior to next Winter. This is to hopefully
prevent the increasing number of chimney fires experienced each year.

noise, blowing garbage, times of delivery trucks delivery goods to the
premises, and buffering the loading zone.
The Committee recommends the property owners concerned, be sent a letter
explaining that when the new addition is made to the I.G.A., a Site Plan
Agreement will be entered into, and required screening, buffering, etc.,
will be included. Also, the I.G.A. be informed of the complaints, and asked
if they could regulate the loading and unloading hours so as to alleviate
any further complaints regarding noise.
2. Letters #9-60 & 9-52 -Official Plan Amendment No. 18, Romano property, Part
Lot 11, Cone. 2, EYS, North side of Old Bloomington Road
Lindsay Dale Harris, from the firm of John Bousefield Associates Ltd., Town
Planners, spoke to the Committee requesting an Official Plan Amendment to
the Town's D.P. Amendment No. 18, to include her client's property.
The 20-acre parcel is abutting the Wrecking Yard to the west, and the Dical
Subdivision to the north. Mr. Dave Fraser, Solicitor, also addressed the
Committee. Helen Whyte, Planner for R. E. Winter, consultants for the Dical
Subdivision, also spoke to the Committee in opposition to including the
Romano lands in Official Plan Amendment No. 18 (Dical).

3. Letter #9-71 -Lyons property, Part Lot 73, Cone. 1, WYS, Ridge Road West -
Roadway
This Letter was answered by William Walker, Town Superintendent, and a copy
is attached hereto.
4. Letter #10-52 -Mr. Fine, re: Proposed Gas Bar and Convenience Stores,
North West corner Aurora Heights and Yonge Street
The Committee recommends Mr. Fine be informed that the proposal meets Town
of Aurora Official Plan and Zoning By-Laws requirements, and therefore, we
cannot refuse a Building Permit.
5. Letter #10-57 -Mr. Graham Constantine, North side of Ridge Road West, Side
yard requirements, W 1/2 Lot 16, R. Plan 132
Mr. Constantine wishes to add an addition to his dwelling for his wife's
parents, and the present Zoning By-Law No. 2213-78, requires a 9 metre (30')
side yard. The old King Township No. 986, as amended, only required a 1.5
metre (5 foot) side yard. If the lot had 30 metre (98.4 foot) frontage,
By-Law No. 2213-78 would permit a 3 metre (9.8 foot) sideyard, but Mr.
Constantine only has 27.7 metre (91 feet) of frontage. The Committee feels
Mr. Constantine deserves consideration, as confusion exists regarding the
new Zoning By-Law, and the existing Zoning By-Laws.
Therefore, the Committee recommends Mrs. Seibert prepare a zoning amendment
to permit the addition, and further, that if Zoning By-Law No. 2213-78 is
not forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board by June 1, 1983, that it be
repealed, and a new By-Law be prepared.

"Therefore, the Committee recommends that Mr. Wi 11 i am Benzi es
be authorized to attend either of the above referenced
courses under the Optional Training section of the Education

Mr. Benzies advises that the knowledge gained from attending the seminar
"will certainly enable me to carry out ITlY job as Building Inspector in

of $670.00 was submitted by Mr. Benzies.

normally considered to be at the request of the employee, while "Required

However, Report 15, dated February 1st, 1982, of the Administration
Committee stated:
"The Committee advises that a refund for all or part of the
costs of taking these courses, according to Council policy
can be considered 'after the employee has completed one year
of satisfactory service with the Town of Aurora following
successful completion of the course'."
Based on the above, the Committee recommends that Mr. Benzies be rei rnbursed

The Town Auditor noted on March 3, 1980 that "Since a Central Purchasing
Department is being established, we recommend that you consider journalizing
your purchases and approval procedures through the adoption of a purchasing
bylaw ••• "
On March 14, 1983, the Auditor pointed out that approximately 80 percent of
the accounts were paid prior to the Council meeting, and the report listing
the expenditures did not provide much information. It was suggested that
one system of approving expenditures be developed.

re-activating a Central Purchasing Department should be considered. It was
a 1 so agreed that the current po 1 icy of p rovi ding members of Council with

approval states in part that "details are on file in the Treasurer's
office".

9. Delegation Policy
The Committee reviewed the Delegation Policy and recommends that the
existing policy be confirmed, i.e. one speaker and a total of 15 minutes per
delegation at Council and Council in Committee meetings. Committee meetings
to be left to the discretion of the Chairman, but it is anticipated that
more than one speaker would be permitted.
In addition, the Committee recommends that a form letter be prepared and
mailed to every person or organization requesting delegation status. It
should also be pointed out that sufficient copies of any brief are to be
made available preferably in advance, and that Council or Council in
Committee will just receive the brief and a decision will be rendered at a
later time.
C. NEW BUSINESS
1. Toronto Phone Lines
Several complaints have been received that difficulty is being experienced
in obtaining use of the Toronto lines for business purposes, both from
Aurora and from Toronto.
The Committee recommends that staff be requested to find out the difference
in cost between the 773 and the 889 lines and also that Bell Canada be
requested to carry out a "busy" study.
2. Use of Bailiff to Collect
Currently, the Town used a collection agency to collect overdue accounts,
with a large percentagebeing paid to the Collection Agency for doing so.
The Committee recommends that Staff consider use of the Small Claims Court
(Bailiff) to collect overdue accounts instead of a collection agency.
3. Business and Finance in Ontario
The first issue of "Business and Finance in Ontario" will be published in
June 1983. It will have a circulation of 32,000 reaching decision makers in
Ontario at all levels of Government. Each month will highlight a special
report on a specific region in Ontario endorsed by local and regional
authorities, as well as input from provincial authorities, together with
editorial profiles on the region. The first edition will focus on the Region
of York.
The standard rate for a full page ad is $1,925, although special rates will
be made available to municipalities.
While the Committee wishes "Business and Finance in Ontario" all possible
success, it is recommended that we regretfully decline participation due to
current fi sea 1 restraints.
4. Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers
Clerk Administrator K .B. Rodger, has requested authorization to attend the
45th Annual Meeting of the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers in
