The Committee recommend that the existing Town pol icy be maintained. (2) They presented a plan of the proposed sidewalk on Wellington Street and had some queries regarding shared costs, timing and temporary alternatives prior to construction. The Committee recommend that the Technical Committee consider (1) the cost sharing aspect of the project (2) the timing of the construction (3) alternative access to Aurora Heights Drive in the early stages of the development and report back to Council. B. Referred Matters 1. Winter Sidewalk Maintenance The Committee discussed this matter at length and are unable to make a recommendation because of the wide divergence of opinions held by Committee members. The following alternatives are suggested for discussion: (a) Clear the snow from the six (6} miles at present being cleared plus physically remove the snow from areas where there is insufficient boulevard to provide storage. (b) Accept the Director's recommendation and purchase 1 additional Bombardier and hire additional men to clear 16 miles of the 26 miles in Town on a priority basis to be decided. (c) Clear all 26 miles of sidewalk. None of the above options addresses the problem of sanding sidewalks. Many complaints are received about slippery sidewalks after a thaw and refreezing. The Director of Public Works has been asked to produce costs for providing different levels of service. 2. Use of Pick-up Trucks by Foremen The Committee is unanimously of the opinion that it is to the Town's advantage that the foremen are allowed to take home a Town truck.

Highland Chev/Olds-Temporary Pavilion Council in Committee was informed that Highland Chev/Olds had constructed a temporary pavilion to display their new vehicles in from Wednesday, t1arch 21st, 1984 through the following weekend. This structure is to be taken down on Monday, March 26th, 1984. Unfortunately, permission from the Building Department had not been obtained and the posting of financial securities had not been performed. The Committee would recommend that, as this appears to be an unfortunate oversight, permission be granted to Highland Chev/Olds to have their temporary pavilion on the condition that it is removed on Monday, March 26th, 1984 and that they be requested to post a bond with the Town of Aurora.
