Mr. Higgins appeared before Council on behalf of the residents of the
Elderberry Trail area to advise of their concerns regarding the proposal of
Pine Ridge being turned into a Youth Detention Centre. Mr. Higgins stated
that this year it would be a Youth Detention Centre, next year a Prison.
The devaluation of housing in Aurora and the fear of residents were other
concerns expressed by Mr. Higgins.
Mr. Higgins was also concerned regarding the civilian clothing the "inmates"
would wear and when on escape, every teenager in Aurora becomes a suspect.
The placing of the current residents still has not been resolved in a
satisfactory way according to Mr. Higgins. Mr. Higgins questioned what
would become of the residents who would not fit into group homes.
Letter# 21~114--P.·c~meron; ·Au~~~i;·ontirio· re: ·Pine-Ria~e

Ms. Haywood appeared before Council and presented a petition signed by

Institution being located in Aurora. Ms. Haywood also presented copies of a
letter which had been sent to the Honourable G. Walker regarding the closing
of Pine Ridge and its conversion to a "prison".
5. Letter# 21:117-Le~gett, Peadle-and Plamondon;·ea~risters a~d-So1icito~s
re: Pine Ridge
Mr. Leggett appeared and stated that the closing of Pine Ridge was an
emotional matter and common sense should prevail.
Mr. Leggett suggested that a more common sensical approach to the matter
would be for the Town to offer an alternate site to the province for their
detention centre. Pine Ridge as it presently exists represents one of the
gateways to the Town of Aurora.
Mr. Leggett stated he knew of a special interest group who would be prepared
to finance the acquisition of the site for a private girls school.
Mr. Leggett suggested that Council pass a resolution establishing a
Committee for the purpose of determining the viability of an alternate site
for the proposed detention centre.

Mr. MacPhail, President of Aurora Village Co-Op stated his organization was
against Pine Ridge being turned into a Youth Detention Centre due to its
closeness to the Aurora Village Co-Op and they support the residents in
their objections to the closing of Pine Ridge.
E. Stewart:
Resolved that the rules of procedure be waived and Dr. Mollard be
granted Delegation Status.
CARRIED
7. Dr. Mcillard re: Pin~ Ridge
Dr. Mollard advised Council members that he had experience working in a
penal institution and expressed concern over the break-outs that could
occur. Dr. Mollard said it had been stated that the Dentention Centre would
be escape-proof, he further stated that it had also been proven that no
prison was escape-proof.

1. letter 20~160 ~ kennel lnn re: lmpoundment Fees
Kennel Inn has submitted an invoice for animals impounded on orders from the
Health Department for quarantine. The invoice lists 4 cats for a sub total
of $127.00 and 3 dogs for a sub-total of $126.00 for a total of $253.50.
This is all confinements to date since the previous list June 27, 1983
(14-109 -Information).
The agreement with Kennel Inn dated April 20, 1976 reads in part as follows:
"The Corporation agrees:
1(b) to pay to the operator the fee of $2.50 per diem for any animal held
in quarantine, in accordance with Clause 5(a) of this Agreement (the
current quarantine fee is $2.50 per diem for cats and $3.00 per diem
for dogs).
"The Operator agrees:
5 (a) to provide special facilities for the quarantine of animals as may
be ordered by the Medical Officer of Health for the Regional
Municipality of York in accordance with the Ontario Regulations
under the Public Health Act, R.S.O. 1970 or by any other person or
persons having authority to order the quarantine of animals."
Section 18 of Regulation 702 under the Public Health Act states:
"(1) When a medical officer of health receives a notification under
section 17 (when a person has been bitten by an animal), he shall,
(a) cause the animal to be confined at the expense of the municipality
in a place in which the animal is comfortable and,
(b) isolate the animal from all other animals and from human beings."
In view of the above regulation, the Committee has no option but to
recommend payment of the Kennel Inn invoice in the total amount of $253.50.
However, the Committee further recommends as follows:
(a) That a resolution be prepared requesting an amendment to Section 18
of Regulation 702 so that the confinement will be at the expense of
the animal's owner, when known, instead of the municipality, and
(b) That the resolution, if adopted, be forwarded to the Ministry of
Health and the Association of ~1unicipalities of Ontario.
And further, the Committee recommends that the Agreement with Kennel Inn be
updated.

A. CORRESPONDENCE (continued)
2. Letter 21-4 ~ re: Appointment to-the Aurora Library Board
Mr. Del Babcock's appointment to the Aurora Library Board terminates on
November 30th, 1983, after over 40 years of dedicated service.
As it is understood that more than one applicant is interested in the
appointment, the Committee recommends that an advertisement be placed in the
Aurora Banner requesting nominations.
The Committee further recommends that a suitable presentation be made to
Mr. Babcock in recognition of his long and faithful service.
3. Letter 21-24-The Association of kinsmen Clubs re: Financial-Support
During the 1982-1983 Kin Year, the Kinsmen Club of Aurora joined together
with more than 625 other clubs across Canada to contribute over $23 million
to various communities. Once a year, Kinsmen Clubs across Canada ask these
communities to help them. Each February on the anniversary of Kinsmen's
founding, the Association produces a special issue of theirnational magazine
-KIN Magazine-featuring "messages of support".
While the Committee recognizes the excellent community work of the Kinsmen
Clubs, it recommends no action be taken on the basis that any support should
be local, rather than national, in nature.
4. Letter 21-68-Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School re: Year Book
The school is now in the early stages of producing the 1984 edition of the
year book and request support.
The Committee recommends that an advertisement be authorized as in previous

"Following a lengthy discussion on all aspects of local transit the
Committee recommends:
(a) That Travelways carry out a passenger survey during the period
September 15-30, 1983, following the return of students to school.
(b) That Travelways carry out a route survey to include passenger stops,
etc. It is understood that Travelways will still carry out "flag
stops" where safety conditions warrant.
(c) That Travelways include comments and suggestions as to "Energy
Conservation through Transit", the use of a smaller bus, conversion

B. ONFI~lSHED BUSINESS
1. Letter 20~66. ~ lravelways re:. ·Passenger Survey
"Tra ve lways currently operate approximately ten trans it systems throughout
the Province of Ontario. All regular buses in these systems are powered by
diesel fuel. We have found that because of the constant idling and numerous
stops, that a diesel engine is more suitable.
"Certainly, we would agree that if a new bus was purchased by the Town of
Aurora, a smaller one would be adequate.
"Therefore, based on the above facts it is our recommendation that should a
new unit be purchased, it should be powered by diesel fuel, not propane."
Regarding (a) Travelways report as follows:
"Adults: Over the period of the survey (September 16 -September 30, 1983),
1,129 adults rode the bus representing 38.1 percent of the total. Main
concentration occurs early in the morning and later at night with scattered
ridership during the day. The people riding during the day would be mainly
housewives going shopping, etc.
"Students: Obviously, the main con cent ration occurs between the hours of
7:30-9:00 a.m. and 3:00-4:30 p.m. There are a few students riding during
the day. They represent 31.5 percent of the total ridership (932 students).
"Seniors: There were 712 seniors riding the bus over the period. This
represents 24.0 percent of the total. They were on the bus mainly between
the hours of 9-3:00 p.m. with few being on at the other times.
"Children: We counted147 children making up 6.4 percent of the total.
They were on the bus mainly during the hours of 9-5:00 p.m."
Regarding (b) Travelways report as follows:
"Currently, we don't pick anyone up on Edward Street from Yonge Street
(Canada Law Book, Alladin, Aurora Scale, etc.) to Dunning Avenue.
Therefore, have bus go north on Yonge Street from Yonge and Edward to
Dunning Avenue. Then we would go east on Dunning and make a stop on the
south side of Dunning Avenue, at G.W. Williams, thus eliminating the
problems with the stop at Cameron and Dunning. We would then proceed east
on Dunning to Edward Street and go north to Cousins, then west on Cousins to
Gurnett (instead of Wells). We would then go north on Gurnett and run into
Victoria and proceed with remainder of schedule.
"The advantages and reasons are as follows:
(1) Go north on Yonge possibly to get more people from the Plaza going
north.
(2) Go east on Dunning to Edward to change stop at G.W. Williams and to
accommodate two or three regular people at this corner.
( 3) Go north on Gurnett rather than Wells to accommodate some seniors in
an apartment building on Gurnett who are walking t" Wells and also
to be closer to Yonge Street going north so people on Yonge Street
who want to go north can do so by walking only one block east.
(4) The remainder of the schedule in our opinion should not be changed
in order to accommodate as many sections of the Town as possible."

The Committee recommends as fo 11 ows:
(a) When a new bus is required that consideration be given to a smaller,
diesel operated vehicle.
(b) No change be made in the number of trips per day.
(c) That the route be changed as suggested effective January 1, 1984 and
local bus schedules amended accordingly.
(d) That the Committee continue to study GO Transit fare integration.
2. Aerial Ladder Truck re: 1984 Payment
Reference is made to item B.1, Administration and Finance Report #34 which
was adopted by Council on March 7, 1983 as follows:
"The Committee recommends that the first payment of $76,743 be made on or
about July 1, 1983 and payment be made from the Vehicle Replacement Reserve
Account."
"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."
The first payment of $76,743 has now been made, and the Committee considered
options for payment of the balance of approximately $179,067. The Vehicle
Replacement Reserve Account stands at $93,657.88 as of October 31, 1983.
The Committee recommends that the Vehicle Replacement Reserve Account not be
depleted to pay for the aerial ladder truck, and further, starting January,
1985 a sum of $50,000 be included in the Budget annually for the Vehicle
Replacement Account.
The Committee further recommends that the balance of approximately $179,067
for the aerial truck be paid as follows:
$50,000 from the Vehicle Replacement Reserve Account
$50,000 from the 1984 general mill rate
$77,067 (or balance) from the Capital Levy Account
3. Review of Policy re Civic Awards
Reference is made to item C.2 of Administration and Finance Committee Report
82 as approved by Council on August 15, 1983, which authorized the purchase
of 500 Civic Award Medals and Ribbons from Re York Trophies at a total cost
of $1,150 and further recommended "that the Administration and Finance
Committee be authorized to prepare revised terms of reference possibly
including Volunteer Appreciation Awards, for consideration of Council.''
The original purpose of the Civic Award was to "recognize individuals or
those people who have represented Aurora on teams that have won either
Ontario or Canadian Championships". The above referenced policy does not
stipulate any residential requirements, and as a result there is often
confusion as to whether an individual or a team member is eligible for the
award.

5. Aandi capped Transit Services
Reference is made to item A.2 of Council in Committee Report 88 re Bus for
Handicapped, which was adopted by Council on September 6, 1983 as follows:
"Council in Committee recommends that this letter (15-221) be referred to
the Administration and Finance Committee for study and report."
Reference is also made to item B.4 of Administration and Finance Report #90
which was adopted by Council on October 17, 1983 as follows:
"While the Committee agrees that such a bus would be an asset for the
citizens of Aurora, it is concerned about the cost. The Committee therefore
recommends that staff obtain information from other municipalities operating
a bus for the handicapped, plus available grants, etc. Following receipt of
the information, a report will be submitted to Council."
The following information has been received:
(a) Letters. 20~165. arid. 21~20-;.-iown. of. \lauiJnan
"At the present time, the Town of Vaughan does not provide a
municipal transit service for the handicapped. The only municipally
funded service operating within Vaughan, is provided by the Richmond
Hill Mobility Bus, under contract to Vaughan and operating only to
the Villa Hospital on Bathurst Street.
(b) Letter-20~I47·~·rown·or·Newmarket
"We are enclosing a copy of our brochure outlining this service to
our residents. Also enclosed is a letter from the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications in respect to subsidy monies."
The Newmarket Service is "A specialized, accessible, curb to curb
transportation service, within the Town of Newmarket for any citizens·
regardless of age, who cannot use or has difficulty using the regular
Newmarket Transit system." The hours of operation are from 8:00a.m. to 6:00
p.m. Monday to Friday and a one-way trip is $1.00. Trips should be booked
24 hours in advance, MTC advise:
With specific reference to the program for transportation services for
physically disabled persons, to the extent possible the per capital ceilings
have been modified in an attempt to permit the provision of services which
relate to needs. Our recent analysis of service and financial
characteristics indicates that the variation of cost per capita among
different population groups is not as wide as was previously perceived.
Consequently the revised per capita ceiling levels for the 1983 fiscal year
have been categorized for four population groups and are as follows:
Up to 100,000 $2.00 per capita ceiling
(remainder not applicable)
"Since expenditures associated with this type of service are expensive by
nature, it is crucial that every effort be made to improve service
productivity and cost effectiveness so that the needed services can be
provided within the funds allocated."

A total of 6,271 rides were provided in 1982 and the average cost per

The Committee recommends as follows:
(a) That an effort be made by staff to ascertain the number of
handicapped citizens of Aurora who may use the transit service if it
was available.
(b) A letter be sent to Mr. Murray English, Transit Office Ministry of
Transportation and Communications, Downsview, Ontario, for

Therefore the Committee recommends that a letter be forwarded from the
Clerk-Administrator to all Department Heads advising that only emergency
items are to be purchased from the date of notification until December 31,
1983, and must be within budgetary limits. Transfers of funds from account
to another account can only be done by authority of Council.

Letter 20-159 from the Treasurer re Contract Maintenance was referred to the

C. NtW BUSINESS
1. Proposed Po1i~y for Use of Photocopier:
New photocopy equipment has been installed in both the Clerks and Treasury
Departments as previously authorized by Council. It is noted that the
photocopier is being used for printing of a large number of copies (50-100)
whereas offset printing or use of the duplicator may be more economical.
The Committee recommends that the Purchasing Agent prepare a policy for
consideration by the Administration and Finance Committee as to cost per
single photocopy; the maximum number of copies that may be economically
copied; and alternatives to photocopying and costs.
The Committee further recommends that consideration be given to a
charge-back mechanism so that departments can be charged for the amount of
photocopying and printing done on their behalf.
2. Requests-for Amendments-to Official Plan-and Zoning Bylaw
With the additional workload under the new Planning Act, The Committee
recommends that the Planning Committee develop a policy relating to the
actual costs for amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw.
The Committee further recommends that, if and when, the Region decentralizes
the power of granting consent to Aurora, as requested, the Planning
Committee prepare a policy relating to procedures and costs.
3. Deposit-for-water Meters
The Committee were advised that a citizen had complained because the $100
deposit for a water meter was not refundable when the house was sold.
Evidently, the deposit was not included in the sale price of the house, so
that the deposit would carry over to the new owner.
The Committee recommends that consideration be given to requiring
subdividers to install water meters in all houses under construction and the
practice of requiring a deposit be cancelled.
The Committee further recommends that staff obtain descriptions and
information as to the type and style of water meters available so that
specifications can be prepared and approved which will require subdividers
to install water meters satisfactory to the municipality.

4. 1984 Buaget Preparations
Excerpts from a Statement to the Legislature by Ontario Treasurer Larry
Grossman, on November 8, 1983:
"In both the private and public sectors, wage and salary leadership must
begin with the leaders. Senior corporate managers cannot expect their
emp 1 oyees to accept non-i nfl ati onary wage sett 1 ements unless they,
themselves, set an example by keeping their own salaries within acceptable
limits. Elected officials including this Assembly, should do the same. In
cases where there are previously voted salary increases or indemnities such
as those involving some school trustees, they expect to use the mechanism
they have in place to bring these increases back with the appropriate range.
"While collective bargaining will be restored, we will ensure the
continuation of restraint by placing clear limits on funding for all public
sector wage increases during the coming year. Our grants and transfers to
municipalities, school boards, universities and other publicly-funded
institutions, as well as allocations for our own civil servants, will
pro vi de for average compensation increases of up to 5 percent per group.
"It is important to note that the 5 percent figure we have chosen for this
program is not tied to current or anticipated rates of inflation. Rather,
it represents an amount which we consider to be fair, reasonable and
responsible given current economic conditions and the need for continued
restraint. We have decided not to legislate rigid wage controls this year
••• real restraint can only be -and we believe will be -achieved through
the resolve and commitment of all those involved in the bargaining process.
"As the legislation requires, I will be advising the Board (Inflation
Restraint Board) that the criterion against which it will assess
compensation increases in the broadly defined public sector should be 5
percent. In making its assessment, the Board will consider increases in
total compensation. That is, it will consider increases in wages, benefits
and perequisites and the cost of providing merit increases and increments.
"Members will recall that the Inflation Restraint Act prohibited merit
increases for those earning more than $35,000. This provision was based on
the Government's view that those with higher incomes and secure jobs were in
a position to make a greater contribution in a period of restraint.
Conversely, we allowed for increases above the 5 percent limit at the low
end. The low income provision and the more restrictive treatment of high
income persons were appropriate in the Inflation Restraint Act. Now that we
are returning to collective bargaining, the distribution of wages in a
settlement is a matter to be resolved by the parties. Any control program
inevitably gives rise to certain problems.
We believe the new program has the necessary flexibility to permit those to
be addressed in collective bargaining."
In view of the above, the Committee recommends that Council in Committee
meet to consider salary guidelines for use in preparing the 1984 Budget and
salary negotiations.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Report # 115 -Public Works Committee ••• Various Matters
1. Fencing Request, ·33 &·35· Jasper Drive ~ Mem6.fr6m.Director of Public Works
The land abutting the rear of the above noted lots is confirmed to be in
Town ownership. The committee do not recommend any fence work while the
existing fence is serving it's purpose.
2. Replacement Street Sweeper
Staff have inspected several units and have not as of yet found a
satisfactory sweeper. It appears that a purchase will not be made until
1984. It is recommended that the $12,000.00 allocated for this .purpose be
put into a reserve for next year.
3. Leaf Vacuum
The present equipment used in the collection of leaves is approximately 15
years old. The intention was that a Vac-U-Sweep proposed in previous budgets
would take on a primary role while the existing leaf vacuum would be placed
in an auxiliary capacity. Council, as an economy measure, opted for a
mechanical sweeper which is without vacuum capacity. As a result, a decrease
in the level of service will take place in this area. When purchased, the
leaf vacuum only had the old part of town to contend with, however, because
of tree growth taking place within more recent subdivisions, our leaf
collecting obligation has increased substantially.
