A. CORRESPONDENCE
1. Letter #.15~236 ~Ontario Society-for-Autistic Children· re: ··Request for
Support
The Society is establishing a quality Saturday program for Autistic children
in the Loyal True Blue and Orange Home, Richmond Hill. There are, at
present, no appropriate treatment programs for Autistic people in York
Region. The major costs incurred are the trained part-time support
personnel who attend to these Autistic children on a one-to-one basis. This
involves approximately $1,000.00 per child and there are 16 children
confirmed in this program to date.
The Committee reviewed this request for support, as it is understood that
the Society is serving Autistic children from the community, but regretfully
recommends that no financial support be authorized due to budget
restrictions.
2. Letter# 16-21 -lown or J::ast Gwi11imbury re: Canine Control

Services Report, the Committee noted the following:
(a) Community.Centre

anticipated revenues had been received, but $212,783.36 (54.85
percent) of expenditure had been made.
(b) Leisure.Services
As of July 5, 1983, only $58,621.60 (39.06 percent) of the
anticipated revenue had been received, and $51,782.50 (34.5 percent)
of expenditure had been made.
(c) Leisure.Services Facilities
As of July 5, the actual revenue for the following facilities is as
shown:
Victoria Hall $ 5,000.00 $ 2,042.50 $ 2,957.50
South Community 2,700.00 1,250.00 1,450.00
McMahon Park 1,500.00 615.00 885,00
Church Street 9,225.00 3,006.25 ~218.75
TOTAL $18,425.00 $ 6,913.75 $11,511.25
The Committee recommends that the Leisure Services Committee and the
Director of Leisure Services carry out an on-going review of expenditures
and revenue so as to avoid an operating deficit.
Status of Long Term.Disability Plan for Town Employees
Deferred until Clerk-Administrator returns from vacation.
C. NEW BUSINESS
1. Tax Write Offs ~ 1983
As of August 11, 1983, Account 1400-78, Taxes, Write-Off, is as follows:
Budget Actual Balance
$20,000.00 $66,809.83 -$46,809.83
The Treasurer advised that an additional tax write-off, due to an assessment
appeal, is foreseen as an additional for a total of some $98,000,00. Charge
backs to the Region and School Boards have yet to be pro-rated but should
amount to approximately $72,000.00, leaving the Town's share at $26,000.00
or $6,000.00 over budget.
Business cancellation (Section 496) are on-going and will be added to the
above between now and year end. When new owners take over, this is treated
as supplementary assessment on the other end of the ledger.
The Committee recommends that this be received as information.

2. Court of Revisions
Decisions from the Assessment Court of Revision have been received, with a
total reduction in assessment of $1,220,686.00 and a reduction in tax
dollars of $76,892.39.
On December 7, 1982, Assessment Commissioner McClung attended a Council in
Committee meeting to discuss the Tax Impact Study, under Section 63, as it
pertained to the Town of Aurora. Council authorized this report (Item B-2,
Report # 4) on December 13, 1982. At that time, Mr. McClung explained that
there would be little change under the re-assessment. Yet our loss this
year is considerably higher than in previous years, i.e.:
1981 $16,228.95
1982 $13,564.77
The Committee recommends that Assessment Commissioner McClung be invited to
a Council in Committee meeting in the near future to explain the higher loss
through appeals, what action is planned, and the possibility of appealing to
the Province for reimbursement.
The billing of supplementary taxes each year is dependant upon the
Provincial Assessment Department assessing properties on a regular basis and
forwarding the information to the Town. The current system leaves a lot to
be desired due to the delay in carrying out the assessment and the delay in
forwarding the information. This creates problems for the citizen when they
are sometimes required to pay taxes for two (2) taxation years.
The Committee recommends that the whole question of Supplementary Assessment
be discussed with the Assessment Commissioner when he attends Council in
Committee as recommended above.
3. Town of Aurora Employees Association re: Deferred Compensation Plan
The Employees Association forwarded a news item from the Toronto Star
regarding a "deferred compensation plan" being considered by the City of
Scarborough and requested that Aurora consider the program.
The Committee recommends that the City of Scarborough be contacted for
further information.
4. Christmas Lights
During the years of 1980 -1982, the Town entered into a contract with
Classic Display for Christmas lights on Yonge Street. The cost per year was
$3,100.00. Similar Christmas decorations for 1983 will cost $2,500.00 for
one (1) year or $2,200.00 per year for a three (3) year contract.
The Committee recommends that arrangments be made to obtain additional
quotations and information for Council on September 6th, 1983.
5. Minister's Message -Restraints
Exerpts from Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Claude Bennett's address
to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, September 11, 1983:
''Last year at this time I told you we could expect little or no increase in
provincial grants the following year. Determined efforts by my Ministry
made it possible to do a little more than I suggested. Yet, forewarned, you
planned well and on the conservative side.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 89 ~ Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
1. Review of June 16th, 1983 Meeting:
(a) Ounni ng Avenue and Edward Street Intersection
The Committee was concerned that no action has been taken to engage
accredited appraisers to determine the value of the various
properties to be effected by the straightening of this intersection
and would ask Council to direct staff to act immediately on this
matter.
(b) Property Maintenance Standards By~Law Committee
In regard to the outside storage at the Aurora Bear Alignment
property (north-east corner of Wellington Street East and Industrial
Parkway), the Committee has been informed that the use of this
property for the storing of derelict vehicles is not covered under
the Property Standards Maintenance By-Law and the Property Standards
Committee cannot deal with this matter. Also, our Solicitor can
offer no solution to this problem (see memo dated March 4, 1983
attached).
With regard to the Town boulevard on the Industrial Parkway North on
which vehicles and garbage bins are being placed, this matter can be
resolved by the Council requesting the Public Works Department to
place "NO PARKING" signs along the boulevard on the east side of the
Industrial Parkway north of the Aurora Bear Alignment building. The
York Regional Police Department can then enforce this under the No
Parking By-Law (see attached Report dated December 15, 1981).
The Committee would request that Council direct the Public Works
staff to carry out the signing of this property.
(c) Ramp to Connect Library and Trio Parking Lots
The Committee is awaiting a report from the Aurora Library Board on
this matter and has been pending for sometime. The Committee would
like a decision from Council as soon as possible.
(d) Oni~ersa1 Insulations Land Trade on Scanlon Court and the Industrial
Parkway North and the Purchase of the Easterly Portion of Connaught
Avenue
This matter has been pending since November 1982 and the Committee
would ask Council to direct staff to complete these transactions
immediately as the principals involved are and always have been
prepared to close at any time.
(e) Account of Henry Stone of Densbury Development {See Letter # 12-32
dated May 4, 1983)
The Committee feels that this bill has been outstanding for too long
a time and would request that Council direct staff to resolve this
matter as soon as possible.
(f) Connie Realty Lands Industrial Designation
Although Mrs. Seibert, Planner, has not recommended designating
these lands to industrial, at this time the Committee would like to
have a meeting arranged with Mr. DePiede, Mrs. Seibert and
Councillor Stewart to make sure that the owners of these lands fully
understand the reasons for this decision and if they are in
agreement.

.REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 89 ~ Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
2. New Business
(a) Rev1is Industrial Subdivision
From discussions with the Engineer from Revlis Properties in regard
to the start of the construction of the Industrial Parkway north
through their property, it was indicated that they would be prepared
to start the road construction in June, 1984 after the York-Durham
sewage pipe becomes operational and the gravity sewer pipe from the
Wellington Street pumping station is constructed to the St. John's
Sideroad.
As this gravity sewer line will be necessary before servicing can be
provided to Aurora Park # 3, the Revlis property and the Densbury
property, the Committee would recommend that Council authorize that
the engineering drawings necessary to go to tender for this gravity
sewer line, together with the estimated costs of construction be
prepared immediately for Council's perusal and decision as to a
construction date.
(b) (i) bensoury ·Investments
From discussions with Mr. Henry Stone of Densbury Investments, it
would seem that the amount of their land that could be considered
for designation and zoning to Industrial would hasten a decision on
the time that the Industrial Parkway north to the St. John's
Sideroad could be constructed through the Densbury lands.
The Committee would ask Council to authorize Mrs. Seibert to submit
a report to Council on the possible acreage that could be considered
for Industrial use, and any other matters such as drainage problems
that might affect these lands.
(ii) Re~Alignment of St:·Jahn's.Sideroad at Bayview Avenue
Mr. Stone of Densbury Investments is anxious to purchase the parcel
of land between his northern boundary and the newly aligned St.
John's Sideroad where it intersects Bayview Avenue.
The Committee feels that as Mr. Stone is the abutting property owner
and if the Town have no use for this parcel of approximately .25
Hectares and provided that any existing easements can either be
moved or allowed to remain, that Council agree to negotiate with
Densbury Investment on the acquisition of this parcel by Densbury.
(c) Ma.Yor'sMemo dated August 19; 1983 re: Unused Industria1 Sewage
A 11 ocati on
The Committee reviewed the report of Susan Seibert, Town Planner and
feels that the Town owned lands purchased from Old Park Holdings
should be allocated with 20 acres of the 39 -46 acres of surplus
sewage allocation available.
The Densbury lands should be given whatever acreage that Mrs.
Seibert can recommend them to have along the Industrial Parkway
North and any surplus should be given to the Kovacs land north of
Wellington Street East and east of the Industrial Parkway should the
owners receive a re-zoning to industrial from rural.

(d) Intersection of Yonge Street and the Vandorf Sideroad
The Committee feels that when the Industrial Parkway is completed to
the St. John's Sideroad that this intersection will become very
busy and further that a compulsory truck route should be established
to ease the congestion on the Yonge Street corridor.
The Committee would recommend that Council authorize a study now, in
consultation with the M.T.C. to improve this intersection to include
a right hand turning lane to make it easier for trucks to decelerate
and make the turn to the Industrial Parkway.
Further they would like to have a similar study done on the Yonge
Street and St. John's Sideroad intersection prior to 1985.
(e) Processing of Site Plan Agreements
The Committee has received complaints from industry that they are
having to make an average of four (4) submissions of the site plan
agreements to the Building Department.
This is not only time consuming but very costly and is creating poor
public relations for the Town.
The Committee would ask Council to investigate this matter to see if
any improvement can be made in the time and the number of
submissions that are required in processing of these site plan
agreements.
(f) Tetra-Pak Inc.
Mr. Niel Hoyland, President of Tetra-Pak Inc. has announced that
they will be holding a ground breaking ceremony at the site on
