conclude that should a municipality attain a certain level of winter
maintenance they would be held responsible for accidents occurring as a
result of alleged lack of winter maintenance from the level to which the
public have become accustomed.
Mr. Roy suggests the municipality's only defence once they have achieved any
level of maintenance is through the scheduling of manpower and machinery to
maintain this level during most winter periods. This program must be backed
up by daily records, which includes the logging of activities.
The question of bylaws was also discussed. It was pointed out that most
municipalities do have a bylaw, and the bylaw could involve the entire
municipality, or only certain areas, In most cases, the bylaw is not
enforced for any number of reasons including absentee landlords and the
enforcement of the bylaw is of concern when dealing with senior citizens, or
people who may have a disability,
Having a bylaw is a matter which requires study to recognize all known
factors, including:
(a) Whether it is common knowledge that the bylaw is in effect?
(bl Whether the bylaw is enforced?
(c How is it enforced?
Mr. Roy referred to a legal case involving the City of Cambridge in which a
citizen slipped and fell on an icy sidewalk. The Court held that the
"policy of the municipality was actually gross negligence. The municipality
was grossly negligent in failing to establish a system of inspecting the
sidewalk of the city. Ignoring the condition of the sidewalk was sufficient
for the actions of the municipality to be considered gross negligence."
It was stressed that the municipality should do what is "reasonably
expected" to safeguard the citizens, It was also noted that there appears
to be a change in life style as more and more citizens are making claims.
Mr. Roy stated that the Provincial Government is considering amendments to
the Statute of Limitations Act, to increase the period of making a claim
from 3 months to 2 years and this could create problems in recalling the
conditions leading up to a claim against the municipality. A letter will be
mailed to all municipalities in the near future outlining the concerns to
this proposed change in legislation,
The Committee recommends as follows:
(a) The current bylaw be reviewed for possible amendment to a
"complaint" basis rather than stipulating "48 hours". Mr. Roy will
forward copies of bylaws.
(b) The Works Department maintain a daily log of activities, weather
conditions, etc.
(c) The policy of advertising the bylaw in the fall of each year be
continued,
(d) That Council review the proposed amendment to the Statute of
Limitations and object to the increased time period if is as stated,

Mr. Roy advised that the general insurance record of Aurora was good as

liability coverage and the 1984 premium be included in 1984 budget budget
considerations.

B. CORRESPONDENCE (continued)
3. Letter 5-10 -Purchasing Co-Ordinator re: Photocopying (continued)
Taking into consideration all possible costs, including equipment rental,
paper and toner, it costs .03 cents to make a copy on the 1045 machine and
.04 cents a copy on the 2830 machine. Any large volume jobs (over 100
copies of an original) are supposed to be produced on the 1045 copier,
therefore the .03 figure was used for comparative purposes.
A check was made of various private sector printing firms and their costs
for various printing runs. It was the conclusion of this study that the
Town does not produce sufficient quantities at one time to warrant outside
printing and that the town's .03 figure is only comparable when more than
500 copies are required.
The Committee recommends that the report of the Purchasing Co-Ordinator be
adopted.
The Committee further recommends that the Purchasing Co-Ordinator be
authorized to investigate the possibility of selling the Gestetner and
associated equipment.
4. Letter 5-11 -Financial Collection Agencies re: Collection of Taxes
The Financial Collection Agencies state "In the majority of cases,
municipalities have used a bailiff at little or no cost ••• What we are
suggesting is that our service is a viable alternative to the current
bailiff system."
The Committee recalls that a previous recommendation adopted by Council was
that consideration be given to using the bailiff system in Aurora.
The Committee recommends that the Treasury Department prepare a report of
the various collection methods used and recommendations for future action
including comments on Letter 5-11.
5. Letter 5~12 -LACAC Proposed 1984 Budget
The LACAC Proposed 1984 Budget was received in the total amount of
$5,700.00.
The Committee recommends that this Budget be considered during 1984 Budget .
discussions.
6. Letter 5-126 -York Sanitation re: 1984 Rates
