Aurora Taxi has requested two additional taxi licences "so that we can
convey proper service to the people in the Town of Aurora".
Section 71 of Bylaw 2345-80 states:
"A limitation to the maximum number of taxi cabs to be licensed for
operation in the Town of Aurora shall be:
(a) on enactment of this bylaw 12 cab licences
(b) on a ratio of 1 cab per 1,500 persons or major part thereof within
the Town limits, and this formula will be used to determine the
availability of future cab licences for the Town of Aurora.
Sec~ion 72 states:
"That on enactment of this bylaw, no owner or Taxi Cab Broker shall hold:
(a) more than 9 cab licences
(b) each owner or Taxi Cab Broker shall possess at least one-third (1/3)
of the licences available as determined by Section 71 of this bylaw,
and no single owner or Taxi Cab Broker shall possess more than
twothirds (2/3) of the total licences available."
Currently, Aurora Taxi hold five (5} licences and York Taxi holds seven (7)

exceed 18,000 before additional licences are required.

finalized and in place. The program is based on a "credit system", relating
to experience, education and participation. Council has been requested to
consider assisting in the "Certification Fees".
As some parts of the program, i.e. participation, requires clarification,
the Committee recommends that Mr. Harrington be invited to the next meeting
of the Committee.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 119 -Administration and Finance Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Gift for Leksand, Sweden
Item E.5 of Council in Committee Report #112, which was adopted by Council
on November 7, 1983 is as follows:
"Councillor N. Stewart advised of a trip to Leksand, Sweden, Aurora's Twin
City, and would request that the Administration and Finance Committee
recommend a suitable gift for presentation at this time".
The Committee recommends that Collis Leather be approached to ascertain if
it would be possible to obtain a calf-skin in blue with the Town of Aurora
crest emblazoned on it in gold, and if so, costs, time required, etc. If
Council approves, this recommendation in principle, information will be
obtained and a further report submitted to Council.
2. Meeting with Town Employees Association
3.
The Association requested a meeting with the Administration and Finance
Committee on December 12, 1983, and "that all members of the Association
(approximately 21 persons) wish to be present at same."
The Committee does not believe a meeting with all 21 members of the
Association would be productive, and therefore recommends that the
Clerk-Administrator meet with all members of the Association to isolate the
items of mutual concern, and a subsequent meeting be arranged between the
Committee and the Executive of the Association.
Grant Po 1 icy
Item B.4 of Administration and Finance Committee Report #82 as adopted by
Council on August 15, 1983, is as follows:
"While the Committee fully recognizes the excellent work of the Victorian
Order of Nurses, it is concerned about the isolated manner in which grants
are made to various organizations and agencies without due regard to budget
considerations.
"It is therefore recommended that the Committee be authorized to review the
current grant policy and to submit recommendations to Council for
consideration."
The grant criteria, as previously adopted by Council (copy attached) is
considered to be adequate, if carried out. The problem arises when requests
for support are received during the year, after the budget has been prepared
and adopted.
The Committee recommends as follows:
(a) That the attached grant criteria be re-endorsed and taken into
consideration. when grants are considered as part of the budget
process.
(b) That Treasury staff be requested to provide a list of grants made
during the past two or three years, both those which were part of
the budget process and those approved after the budget had been
adopted by Council.

1. subsidy tor Aurora Rockey Tiger Scliooi
An invoice has been received from the Community Centre, for grant purposes,
in the amount of $320.00 for the Aurora Tiger Hockey School as follows; "80
hours of ice time, subsidy rate for Hockey School $4.00 per hour."
The following resolution was adopted by Council on August 15th, 1983:
"Resolved, that as the difference between what the Hockey School budgeted to
pay, and the Town's rental fee for Hockey School ice time is $8.00, it is
hereby resolved that this cost be split 50/50, therefore, the Hockey School
rental is $46.00 per hour."
A review of the Accounts approved by Council on November 21, 1983, include
the following item:
"Aurora Community Centre -Hockey and Figure Skating Grant $842.00."
Item E.5 of Leisure Services Committee Report #53 as discussed by Council on
May 2, 1983 included the proposed facility rates for 1983. Item E.5 was
referred to Council in Committee and item A.2 of Council in Committee Report
#57 was adopted as previously submitted by Leisure Services.
It is understood it is Town policy to grant a $5.00 per hour subsidy for ice
time to town organizations, i.e. Recreation Hockey, Minor Hockey and Figure
Skating, although no record of this can be found in the 1983 minutes of
Council.
Therefore, the Committee recommends that more information be obtained
regarding the above referenced grants for ice time and a proposed policy for
1984 will be submitted to Council for consideration.
2. Fininciai·status.as.of November-1&;·1983

Actua 1 Balance
$3,659,339 $427,363
$3;363;975 $722,726
$ 295,364
"The present surplus position of $295,364 is financially sound for this time
of year. However, revenues as listed are pretty well at their limit so the
year end result mainly depends on expenditures. It would be ideal if they
could be curtailed and only items and expenses necessary to carry on working
services be incurred."

The Committee recommends that the recommendation contained in item B.5 of
Administration and Finance Report #113 as adopted by Council on November 21,
1983, namely, " ••• only emergency items are to be purchased from the date of
notification until December 31, 1983 ••• ", be re-endorsed.
work~en's.Compensation Board.tns~rance
The Treasurer advises that the WCB has increased their 1984 rate from
$190.00 to $218.00 per hundred of coverage, or about 15 percent. In
addition, maximum contribution to the Canada Pension Plan has been increased
from $300.60 to $338.40, or about 12.6 percent.
The Committee recommends that these increases be taken into consideration
when preparing the 1984 budget.
4. 19B3 Supple~entary.Assess~ent
The latest supplementary assessment received from the Provincial Assessment
Branch amounts to $100,627.00 in taxation dollars of which $26,537,00 is the
Town portion. The total Town share is now $52,427, some $48,000 short of our
1983 estimate.
Tax bills for 1983 will be issued as soon as possible and payment due dates
will be January and February.
The supplementary assessment received this year is Residential $2,031,860
and Commercial and Business $5,168,919 for a total increase of $7,200,779.
When added to the 1983 assessment the total taxable assessment is
$165,673,788 or an increase of 4.5 percent.
Utilizing the 1983 general municipal mill rates, an increase of some
$123,000 taxation revenue is gained. However, the Treasurer advises that
these figures are preliminary and cannot be confirmed until the assessment
roll is returned on December 20, 1983,
5. 2s:tear·ct~b-Me~bership
In accordance with the Employees Policy, approved by Council October 17th,
1983, "any member qualifying for membership in the 25 year club to be given
a gift to the value of $75.00 suitably inscribed to recognize such service".
Town Treasurer Bill Johnson qualifies for 25 year Club Membership.
Therefore, the Committee recommends that the provisions of the employees
policy be carried out and a presentation be made at a later date.
6. Christmas SclieCI~1e for l.oi:a1 s~s ana-Fare Increase
In view of the change of route as approved by Council on November 21, 1983
and the need to prepare a new printed schedule, the Committee considered if
a fare increase should be considered at the time. It was noted that the
Town of Newmarket had adopted the following fare schedule effective January

Present Were: Councillor E. Buck, Chairperson; Councillor J. West; Councillor M.
Paivio; Mrs. S. Seibert, Planner; Mr. R. Harrington, Secretary.
A. OELEGAIIONS
1. Granada.Investments.Limited; Proposed Apartment Complex, Aurora Highlands
property
Mr. Derek Willis, Planner; Mr. Joe Shaw, Owner; and Mr. Eugene Lyle,
Architect, appeared before the Committee with a plot plan and a model to
support their proposal. Four buildings, each forming a cruciform, are
planned. The buildings will vary in height from nine to seven stories.
Commercial will occupy the first floor of the building at Yonge Street.
There will be approximately 210 units, and 8 suites per floor.
The Committee, however, do not recommend approval of the proposal to
Council, as they feel the density is too high, and the buildings are also
too high, fronting on Yonge Street.
B. REi'ORIS
1. Envi ronmental1y Significant Area Study· (S~LS~CA~)
The Committee perused Mrs. Seibert's comments in the Report, and recommend
adoption of her recommendation, being that Council adopt the following
interim policy:
"The Town of Aurora recognizes that there are
certain areas which have been identified as
Acquifer Recharge Areas by the South Lake
Simcoe Conservation Authority. In any area
identified as an Acquifer Recharge Area,
Council requires that an Environmental Impact
Study be prepared to the satisfaction of the
Town of Aurora and the South Lake Simcoe
Conservation Authority prior to approval of
Official Plan Amendments or subdivision
proposal."
A copy of the Report is attached hereto.

The Committee discussed Mrs. Seibert's Report, containing conditions of
approval for the plan, but would also recommend the plan be revised for the
dedication of 5% park dedication, centrally located, and connected by
walkways to the adjacent streets.
Checkerboard Farms' solicitor, Mr. Michael Brown, spoke to the Committee,
expressing their concerns in relation to paying for noise and odour abating
measures. There seems to be a difference of opinion between Checkerboard
and Revlis, whether there is to be a 300 foot or a 500 foot buffer next to
the plant, as recommended by the Ministry of the Environment.
