C. MAYOR'S MEMOS
1. June 13th; 1983 re: Heffron TraffiC-Concerns
The items addressed in the correspondence from Mr. Heffron are referred to
in the draft Town Safety Report in the following manner:
(a) From-Draft Report .:. Item 36 -The recommendations as outlined in
the Mayor's memo May 19th, 1983, regarding reducing the speed to 40
k.p.h. from 81 Murray Drive to Davidson Road; "No Parking" on the
east side of Murray Drive in front of Regency Acres School and; the
extension of the "No Parking" area north to Seaton Drive and;
extending the "No Parking" on the east side of Murray 30' either
side of the crosswalk should be implemented. Action: include in
revised by-1 aw and post accordingly.
(b) From Draft-Report·~ item 37 -The hedge on the east side of Murray
opposite the north boundary of the school should be cut back
further, the fence should be examined for appropriate action.
Action: Works Department staff to review and recommend improvements
to be implemented with the appropriate residents.
(c) From Draft Report-~-Item 38 -That the crossing guard at Murray
Drive should be retained if warranted. If a guard is warranted, the
location of the cross walk should be at walkway instead of the stop
sign pending the pedestrian count and most popular route determined.
2. June 22nd, 1983 re: Vand6rf-Sideroad

C. MAYOR'S MEMOS (continued)
3. J~n~-22~a;·1983-re:··co~if~s-o~t~~~G~~~~tf.St~e~t-T~affi~
In the correspondence referred to by the Mayor, most of the concerns
appeared to be from an enforcement rather than a regulatory point of view.
The signs both speed, parking and stops are in place at appropriate
intervals but are not, according to Mr. Irvine, being observed. The
Committee would recommend that the Clerk respond to Mr. Irvine requesting
his assistance and the York Regional Police Department in reporting any
parking infractions when they are occurring and that Mr. Irvine be advised
that we will request the York Regional Police to establish radar traps
between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. weekdays for a period of time.
School buses travelling these roads are a necessity in the Committee's
opinion to pick up children near home and truck use of these streets is
governed by our heavy truck by-1 aw which can be acted upon when a complaint
is registered and the proper authority can catch the offender in the act.
D. ONFINISHEO BOSiNESS
1. Tow~ R~vt~w-6f"Safety·con~erns
This item was deferred to a Special Public Safety Committee meeting
scheduled for Monday, July 25th, 1983 at 7:00 p.m. Police Chief Crawford
advised staff by phone that the York Regional Police do not have safety
personnel to send out to review this type of matter, that he felt the
Region's Traffic Department should assist.
Mr. J. Ireland advised the Chairman that he was unable to attend the July
5th meeting but would attend the July 25th, for the purpose of reviewing
regional road recommendations and offering his opinion on our other
recommendations.
Members of Council are most welcome to attend.
E. OTHER-MATTERS
1. Mrs.·k. M~Farlane ·re: Haida/Aurora H~ights· Intersection
Correspondence received from Mrs. McFarlane outlined the fence situation at
Haida/Aurora Heights south-east side. As this matter has already been dealt
with, with the owners of this fence agreeing to remove the coroer portion,
the Committee recommends that the Works Department staff contact the owner
to facilitate the removal of the corner fence portion.
2. Helm~ts
In a memo to the Chairman, the chief recommends that we add on to our aerial
truck purchase, an order for new fire helmets. These helmets were priced
from three (3) different manufacturers ($1,992.87, $1,819.00 and $1,738.75 -
tax included) with C.J. Hickey being the lowest. If purchased with the
truck we do not have to pay tax --a further savings of $113.75, for a total
purchase price of $1,625.00 for 25 helmets. These helmets will be mandatory
by the end of 1985 and will have to be purchased at that time. The
Committee would recommend that this item be added to the truck order and
that this cost be included in the 1984 budget submission.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 75 ~ Public Safety Committee~ ••• Various Matters (continued)
E. OTHER~MATTER$ (continued)
3. ERB tnguest~Report
As noted in the recommendations published by the local paper and notes from
staff, the Committee recommends that, for reasons of safety and protection,
all new and existing commercial and industrial businesses be required to
have occupancy permits. A 1 ong with the occupancy permits, a separate form
should be submitted annually by all businesses to indicate any and all
hazardous materials in use in their buildings and where they are stored.
Any industrial or commercial business using extremely hazardous materials
should be asked to placard their buildings appropriately according to the
accepted standards for signing.
The Committee further recommends that the Clerk identify the most workable
administrative process for handling this paperwork and report back to
Council on September 14th, 1983.
The Committee also discussed the emphasis given on additional firefighter
requirements, in that they feel this was misleading and not directly
pertinent to the case under investigation.
4. York~Guide-Fire Telephone~Numfiers
The Committee noted that both the old fire telephone number and the new fire
telephone number were given in different parts of the York Guide.
5. Roadside Maps~~·~ Status
The Committee discussed the usefulness of the roadside maps that used to be
located at the United Church and at Aurora Heights and Yonge. The Fire
Department has frequent inquiries specifically related to directions to
industries.
The Committee would refer this information to the Economic Development
Committee in the hope that some form of map or multi-arrow sign be posted in
appropriate locations to show trucks where industries are located. Further
it was felt that Vandorf Sideroad should be signed as a truck route at Yonge
for incoming traffic.
6. Nei~h&ourhood ~it~h Sf~ns
The Aurora Neighbourhood Watch group has had 30 signs donated to them from
the Aurora Leos. Through the Chairman they have asked the Town's assistance
in erecting these signs in specific locations around town. In checking with
the Director of Public Works, the Town assisted with erecting the Block
Parent signs and in the Director's opinion, it wouldn't be difficult to
accommodate this request. Further, it would be even easier if these signs
could be located on light posts. This is to be checked out with the Aurora
Hydro. The Committee recommends that Town staff erect these signs at
mutually agreed locations, preferably hydro poles if the Aurora Hydro
approves.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 77 -Planning Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
3. Donald E. Rogers Estate, and Sabiston-Marko, Part of Lot 85, Con. 1, W.Y.S.
The Committee read Mrs. Seibert's report and supports her recommendation
that as the proposal does not conform to the Town Official Plan it be
denied for the following reasons:
1. The proposal is contrary to the Estate Residential Policies of the
Official Plan in that it "forms an extension to a major urban area"
Section 4 Part 8 G(i).
2. The physical scale of the development is large; there is a serious
concern that the rural character of the area may be replaced by a
predominant, builtup, urban appearance. Section 4, Part 8.
3. Goal #3 expresses the need "to maintain an identifiable and
distinct community". Several objectives to achieve this are stated
including the need to maintain an area of no urban scale
development between the urban area of Aurora and the northern and
southern boundary of the Town. The subject lands are currently
designated "Rural" thereby implementing this objective. To
redesignate the subject lands for 'Estate Residential' development
is considered contrary to the Official Plan.
A copy of Mrs. Seibert's report is attached hereto.
4. Industrial Potential of part of Lots 81, 82 & 83, Con. 1, E.Y .S.
(Preliminary Report)
The Committee discussed Mrs. Seibert's report and support her
recommendation:
1. That the proposa 1 to redesignate the subject 1 ands for Industria 1
purposes is premature at this time. However, since there is very
limited options for expansion of industrial land that the
possibility of designating the lands for industrial in the future be
maintained and to protect that option the rural land use category on
the lands and surrounding be maintained.
2. That monitoring of construction of new industrial buildings be
maintained and the Regional Engineering and Planning Departments be
appraised on a yearly basis of the development status in the
industrial areas including an indication of the number of acres of
new development.
3. That the Regional Engineering Department in connection with the
above, be asked to continue monitoring sewage flows within the
industrial area to determine if the planned 3800 gallons per acre
per day are being utilized.

(2) Notice under subsection (1) may be given,
(a) by personal service or prepaid first class mail, to every
owner of land,
(i) in the area to which the proposed by-law would apply,
and
(ii) within 120 metres of the area to which the proposed

Now, under new Legislation, the Council must hold a public meeting before
passing of a Zoning By-Law (Council has been doing so voluntarily) and, as

A. CORR£SPONDENCt
1. Letter 12~171 ~ o: Wardle re Gary strollg Auto Body
Mr. G. Strong appeared before Council in Committee on April 11th, 1983 to
request consideration in allowing him to erect a prefab building on an
industrial site. Council in Committee recommended that this matter be
referred to the Economic Development Committee for further study and
discussion with the owners. This matter is still under review by the
Economic Development Committee.
Staff have pointed out that they are having some difficulty collecting
business taxes, and that some municipalities will not permit a move to a new
building while taxes are outstanding on the former.
The Committee does not believe that one action depends on the other and
recommends that staff proceed with normal collection procedures.

CORRESPONDENCE (continued)
Letter 13:72 : lriternatiollal Institute MuniCipal Clerks re:. Canada/U.S.
Dollar
The Clerk-Administrator is a member of the International Institute of
Municipal Clerks. Due to the number and quality of the technical reports
received from the IIMC, such membership is considered to be most
worthwhile. However, due to the difference between the Canadian and
U.S. dollar, it is necessary ·that Canadian members send U.S. equivalents for
their membership fees.
The Committee recommends that membership in the IIMC be renewed for 1983/84
for $63.35 (Canadian) and the cost be charged to Account 1100-48 in the
Clerk's Department.
3. Letter 14:3 -·Report of Live Stock Valuer
4.
5.
On June 17th, 1983 the Live Stock Valuer examined nine chickens on the Gullo
farm and found that they had been killed by dogs. The value of the chickens
was set at $75.00 and the valuation call and expenses as $42.50. These
charges cannot be charged back to the Province as in the case of wolves.
The Committee recommends that the Town pay the charges of $75.00 and $42.50
and the cost be charged to the appropriate account.
Letter 14:17 ~ Lamotori Count.\' re: tornado Relief Puna
The Lambton County Tornado Relief Fund is attempting to raise $1,500,000 to
meet the estimated uninsured loss of $3,000,000.
The Committee regrets the loss of property but recommends no action be
taken.
Letter 14.:.so : iax Relief Credit Unions
Due to a recent court ruling, credit unions have been exempted from business
assessments in the P rovi nee of Ontario. The York Education a 1 and Aurora
Community Credit Union Limited will not be required to pay business
assessment in 1984. They have requested exemption for 1983 but have been
advised by the Assessment Office that one possible avenue is to apply to the
Town under Section 496(1) of the Municipal Act for a cancellation of taxes
owing or a refund of taxes paid.
It is also pointed out that if the Town refuses to cancel the tax owing or
refund the taxes paid, the Credit Union could apply to the Divisional Court
by originating notice under Section 50(1) of the Assessment Act. Such an
application must be filed before December 31, 1983.
The Committee reviewed the correspondence although no application has yet
been received from the Credit Union. The Committee does not believe that
this special exemption for Credit Unions is warranted, especially to a
community type credit union which is in competition with trust companies and
chartered banks who are required to pay business assessment.
Therefore, the Committee recommends that if an application is received from
the York Educational and Aurora Community Credit Union for cancellation of
taxes owing or a refund of taxes paid, that such application be refused.
The Committee also recommends that a letter be forwarded to the Minister of
Revenue expressing Council's opposition to this special exemption of
business assessment for credit unions.

The Committee is aware of the excellent work of the Canadian Mental Health
Association, but due to fiscal restraints does not recommend a grant from
the Town of Aurora.

UNICEF Ontario are requesting all municipalities across Ontario to consider
donating revenues from parking fines on any one day before Halloween towards
UNICEF's work with children.

The Committee recommends that no action be taken.
s. Letter 14.:.1&7 .:. EllA re: Board of Management
Council in Committee Report #20, item B-4, was adopted by Council on

Thompson and Mr. Mike Evans to the BIA Board of Management. Due to the
resignation of Mr. Al Warren the BIA Board of Management has requested that
Jackie Lederer, of Aurora Vacations, be appointed to the BIA Board of
Management.
The Committee recommends that Jackie Lederer be appointed to the BIA Board
of Management to replace Mr. Al Warren.
9. Letter 14.:.161·.:. FMSD.re 3M Micrographic Equipment
During Budget discussions it was agreed that the Clerk-Administrator obtain
prices for micrographic equipment to reduce the space required for files in
the Administrative building. File Management Systems Division have
submitted an updated quotation on the 3M Micrographic equipment previously

The Committee recommends approval of the proposal as outlined, subject to
Council in Committee's concurrence during the discussion on the Capital
Budget on July 11, 1983.
B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Letter·1o:11B·:·keririel Inri-re Rite Increase
The 1982 rate with Kennel Inn was based on $2.35 per capita. A six percent
increase has been requested, or an increase of 14 cents per capita. In
report #60, item A-5, the Committee recommended that this item be deferred
so that all conditions of the existing contract with Kennel Inn could be
reviewed.
In Report #67, Item B-1, the Committee recommended that staff be authorized
to contact all adjacent municipalities for information as to the method of
determining the rate for animal control and the amounts paid and report to
the Administration and Finance Committee.

1. Letter-10~118·~-kennel.tnn.re Rate-Increase (continued)
Replies were received from the Town of Newmarket (13-60); Town of Vaughan
( 13-77); Town of Richmond Hi 11 (14-39); and Town of Whi tchu rch-Stouffvi 11 e
(14-118). Due to the different agreements and methods of operation, it was
difficult to carry out a comparison. The Town of Richmond Hill advises that
the Town "<:~wards its Animal Control Contract based on a tendered amount.
Our tenders ask prospective bidders to quote their rates for a two-year
period and there are no escalators built into the tender contract for
population increases, assessment increases, or any other reasons."
The Committee notes that the six percent increase is slightly above the five
percent increase recommended by the province under its restraint program and
recommends a five percent increase for 1983,
The Committee further recommends a review and possible tender call for
Animal Control services for 1984/1985.
2. capital B~d~et
Referred to Council in Committee July 11, 1983 as per Council's resolution
dated June 20, 1983.
3. Bank of Montreal Review ofServices and Compensation
Reference is made to Report #67, item C-2, of the Committee which was
approved by Council on June 6th, 1983. The Bank of Montreal recently
carried out a review of the banking arrangements in effect with the Town of
Aurora. The review consisted of compensation for services now used and also
an overview of several ancillary services which may support the town's
financial and administration system.
The Committee recommended that the Bank of Montreal be advised that the Town
is not wi 11 i ng to accept the new agreement as proposed, and if any changes
are to be made in the existing agreement, all major Canadian chartered banks
are to be invited to submit proposals.
The Bank of Montreal has now advised that they are still going through a
period of reorganization and agreed to carry on the existing agreement for a
period of at least six months, and a further review wi 11 be carried out at
that time.
The Committee recommends that no change be made in banking arrangements
until such time as the Bank of Montreal makes a new submission and it be
considered further at that time.
4. Letter 13~69 ~York Region Board of Education Bus Stop on-Dunning Avenue
Due to a citizen complaint, the Committee reviewed the circumstances and in
Report #41, item 3, reported as follows:
"The Committee recommends that arrangements be made with York Region School
Board and/or the Principal of Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School and
Travelways for the westbound bus to loop around the entrance to the school
so that the students can be picked up in front of the school before
proceeding north on Cameron. In addition to answering the citizen's
complaint, the Committee believes such routing will be safer for the
students and will prevent the necessity of the bus stopping in a No Parking
Zone.••

Board staff, the school principal and Travelways all agree that the circular
drive, at start and dismissal time, is far too busy to allow the town bus to

The present route was adopted by Council to pro vi de bus service to the

The Committee recommends that a meeting be arranged with Travelways to
ascertain the frequency of passenger use in the industrial park area and to
discuss alternative routes best suited to the needs of the public.
5. Travelwa.Ys/Town of Aurora Transit Agreement 1983
Report #34, item A-8 of the Committee, as adopted by Council on March 7,
1983, recommended as follows:
"Due to the fluid condition of world gas prices, the Committee recommends
that the 1983 agreement be accepted as proposed, with the condition that the
fuel escalator clause be reviewed after three months from the signing of the
agreement."
The Committee recommends that Travelways be requested to carry out a
passenger survey (see paragraph 4 above) and a representative of Travelways
be invited to meet with the Administration and Finance Committee on August
8th, 1983.
6. Works-Staff Organizational-Structure·-Works-Committee Report #73

Committee for report and all pertinent information regarding the cost of
engineering fees, technical fees, all town staff, CET, and associated fees

a shipping box supplied. One of the plates was ordered as a gift from the
Town of Aurora to Provost John McCormack, Chairman of the Motherwell
District Council during the recent visit of the Motherwell Soccer Club.

2. Review of 1983 Bud\let to June 3o; 1983
Total municipal revenues in the 1983 budget are shown as $4,086,702.
Dividing this amount into 12 equal instalments indicates that the budget
year to June 30 (6 months) is $2,043,354. Actual revenues to June 30 are
$1,886,986 so that a variation of $156,368 is noted. However, several
items, e.g. Supplementary Assessment, Federal Payments in Lieu and
Provincial road grants have not yet been received so that the actual
revenues should be close to the budget for the first six months.
Total municipal expenditures in the 1983 budget are shown as $4,086,702.
Dividing this amount into 12 equal instalments indicates that the Budget
Year to June 30 is $2,043,354. Actual expenditures to June 30 are
$1,650,671 so that a variation of $392,686 is noted. However, large
payments for road construction are still forthcoming.
As of June 30, $6,002,207 in taxes have been collected out of a total 1983
taxation levy of $9,673,860 or 62 percent. 1983 supplementary taxation
totals $93,016 of which $42,099 has been collected to June 30 or 45%.
Tax arrears outstanding as of December 31, 1982 totalled $766,028 of which
$414,903, or 54 percent have been collected as of June 30.
The Treasurer reports that if expenditures are held within normal limits,
the year end picture augers well as of June 30.
The Committee recommends that a further budget summary be prepared for
October 31, 1983.

4. Report of AMCTO Conference
Deputy Clerk Colleen Gowan reports that the recent AMCTO Conference included
29 workshops; such as Wrongfull Dismissal, Resolving Conflicts in your
Municipal Office, Evaluation of Program, New Planning Act, How to Manage
People More Effectively, Conflict of Interest, Tax Collection, Cash Flow and
Investment Program Problems and Solutions and many more.
Part of the Conference is covered under the Provincial Municipal Action '85
program and an application has been submitted.
The Committee forwards this item as information.
5. Tax Payment Dates
Due to complaints from citizens as to the due date for tax instalments
coming at the end of the month, resulting in the loss of bank interest, the
Treasurer was asked to review town policy. In 1983, the interim due dates
were February 23, March 23 and April 27. The final due dates are June 29,
July 29 and September 29.
The Treasurer points out that under the Municipal Act, Council, by bylaw,
may provide for the payment of taxes by any day or days to be named
therein. He also notes that since 1973, the payments have been during the
final days of the month, although in 1973, the interim levy was due in
February, March and May, and the final levy was due July, September and
October. Adjacent municipalities (Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Markham and
Vaughan) all use the final days of the month for due dates.
The Committee recommends that in 1984 the due dates be scheduled during the
first days of the following month, rather than the current policy of the
last days of the month.
