The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Public Safety Committee was held on Tuesday, February 7th, 1984 at
7:00 p.m. in Committee Room One.
Present Were: Councillors Tim Jones, Martin Paivio and Norm Stewart and Fire Chief
Stu Wilson, and Citizen Member C. Weissner.
1. Ambulance Service
Mr. Fred Rusk attended this portion of the meeting to discuss Ambulance
Service for the Town of Aurora. He reported that the average response time
to Aurora for Ambulance Service was nine (9) minutes as compared to 7.6
minutes in Toronto and a 14 minute Provincial average. Normally, the
Ministry follows the following guidelines for establishing an ambulance
service:
0 -75 Annual calls is up to Community first response (Fire
Department)
75 -4-500 Annual calls is sufficient for a volunteer service if
volunteers are available
500 + would require a full time service system.
Currently, the Aurora area experienced (1982 statistics) 150 life
threatening calls and 250 non-life threatening calls for approximately 400
calls in the year.
Once the 1983 statistics are available for the Aurora area, Mr. Rusk advised
that he would like to review them with the Committee and if the statistics
warrant locating an ambulance in Aurora, the Ministry will be mainly
responsible for funding. It costs approximately $250,000. to operate such a
service. Mr. Rusk will attend the April 3rd meeting of the Public Safety
Committee to review 1983 statistics.

duly covered by By-Law 2613, two (2) recommendations were carried out
immediately and six (6) recommendations were not approved by Council.
3. Letter # 3-136 -Multi-Way Stop Study Results
Warrants were taken at the following locations with the following results:
(a) Banff/Devins -warrants did not meet requirements for multi-way
(b) Victoria/Mosley
stop.
-warrants were met, multi-way stop should be

Based on the Regional warrants being met at Victoria and Mosley and Glass
and Murray, as well as the repeated concerns from residents in these areas
for safety reasons, the Committee recommends multi-way stops be implemented
at these two (2) locations.
4. Letter# 3~167 -S.G. Wilson memo re: Memberships
The Committee reviewed the memberships requested by the Chief and were
assured that whether individual or in the department's name, these
memberships were of benefit to the Town, not just the individual. On this
basis, the Committee recommends that this request be forwarded to the
Administration and Finance Committee with its support.

Town of East Gwillimbury re: No Smoking in Food Stores
At the request of the Committee, area municipalities were polled as to
whether they had "No Smoking in Food Stores" By-Laws. All responses to date
have indicated no by-laws. After much discussion, the majority of the
Committee recommends no further action be taken with regard to establishing
an Aurora By-Law. The Committee would ask for the co-operation of Aurora
food stores in posting a request for patrons to refrain from smoking in open
food areas hoping that most people would use their common sense. The
Committee further recommends that a resolution to prohibit smoking in food
stores be prepared and if endorsed forwarded to the Resolutions Committee of
the AMO for their consideration.

REPORT OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report# 12 -Public Safety Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
7. Mosley Street-NO PARKING
After visiting the area with the Fire Prevention Officer, the Chairman
advised the Committee of a serious parking situation occurring on Mosley
Street from # 40 Mosley east to Berczy. At certain points in the road an
emergency fire vehicle would not have been able to continue down the street
because of parking congestion--. --It is therefore recommended, in keeping with
Council's directive to review each street for no parking on its own merit,
that "No Parking" be established on the North side of Mosley, from# 40
Mosley east to Berczy.
8. Parking Congestion -Town Park Area
During the same visitation as item# 7, it was also noted that as a result
of the Pub 1 i c Ha 11 s and facilities in the area, the Town Park, the schoo 1
and the number of basement apartments suspected in the area, there is a
large volume of cars requiring a place to park.
The Committee recommends that consideration be given where reconstruction is
planned, to incorporate angle parking along side the Town Park. This might
assist in satisfying both daytime and nighttime parking requirements in the
area.
Further, the Committee recommends that the Director of Public Works consider
establishing a higher priority to the clearing and maintenance of the
existing parking areas in the area of the Park when winter snow and ice
accumulate.
9. Business Security Boxes for Keys-Chief's Letter to Businesses and
Industries dated January 26th, 1984
The Committee provides the following for Council's information.
The Fire Prevention Officer has written businesses and industries requesting
their consideration to installing a security box designed for keys to their
buildings. The Fire Department would hold the Master key for these boxes
and thus have easy access to a building in the event of an emergency rather
than having to wait for a business representative to get to the scene. This
would be optional for businesses.
10. Fire Regulating By-Law
The Chief hopes to have the draft ready by the March meeting.
11. Street Lighting
The Chairman has met with the Works Chairman and described the needs for
lighting from a safety point of view. Most important were improved
crosswalk lighting. The Works Chairman will be reporting on this matter.
12. Bloomington/Steeplechase Intersection
It was brought to the Chairman's attention that with the increased traffic
along Bloomington and the obvious anticipated continuance of additional
traffic after the 404 is extended to Newmarket, as evidenced by the
installation of traffic lights at Yonge and Bloomington, eastbound traffic
on Bloomington that turns north into the subdivision via Steeplechase are in
constant jeopardy from traffic going west that causes a wait to complete the
turn, and from traffic approaching from behind, also eastbound that, because
of the road width, must come to a stop until the turning car can complete
the turn onto Steeplechase. It is recommended that the Region be contacted
to investigate this situation with the hope of establishing a turning lane
for turning cars and a through lane for eastbound cars.

Eveleigh, who joined the Aurora Force January 14th, 1958, thus giving 31
and 26 years of service respectively to their Town, be recognized for their
dedicated Service. The Committee recommends this item to the Administration
and Finance Committee for appropriate action.

The Committee has reviewed this document and recommends that it further be
reviewed by all staff who are affected by it for their comments. After that
review the Committee will make an appropriate recommendation to Council.

the old fire number at no charge to the Town, in the event someone uses it

REPORT OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report# 14-Administration and Finance Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
A. DELEGATION
1. Mr. Fred Reid, Collins Barrow re: Auditing Services
Mr. Reid reviewed the annual and special audits carried out on behalf of the
Town of Aurora. He advised that audits vary depending on the amount of
internal controls employed by the municipality and the amount of audit
testing carried out to check those controls.
He pointed out that the auditor can only recommend and it is up to the
municipality to decide if such recommendations are to be enacted. Normally,
such recommendations are included in a Management Letter which is discussed
with the Administration and Finance Committee acting as the Audit Committee.
Special audits are carried out at the request of the municipality, such as
the recent audit of the Community Centre. A report will be submitted to the
Town in approximately two weeks regarding this special audit. Many of the
recommendations will be similar to those forwarded to the Town on March 20,
1981, following a review of the financial systems and management controls at
the Community Centre.
The Committee recommends that this item be received as a progress report,
and a further report will be submitted following receipt of further
information from the auditor.
2. Municipal Financial Reporting Handbook
The 1983 Financial Information Return as required by the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing was also discussed with Mr. Reid, based on a
report from Treasurer Bill Johnson.
Highlights of 1983 reporting requirements are:
(a) Inventories and Prepaid Expenses: The reporting of these items as
assets is not mandatory and municipalities have been requested to
review their current policy in this regard.
At present, other than canteen supplies, inventory such as road sand
and salt are not reflected nor accounted for. It is to be noted
that inventories may not be reflected in a period that may commit a
future Council. However, consideration may be given when large
amounts of sand and salt paid for in one year remains unused at year
end.
The Committee requested information as to an inventory of capital
items such as furniture, typewriters, etc. The Clerk-Administrator
advised that there was a general inventory of such items in
connection with our insurance coverage.
Therefore the Committee recommends that as the reporting of such
items is optional, no action be taken.
(b) Comparative Statements: 1982 actual figures and the 1983 budget
figures will need to be restated for 1983 reporting purposes. The
1984 budget should be prepared on a basis that will allow for
comparison.
The Treasurer advises that he has commenced to restate the financial
information as required and that the 1984 budget be restated when
finally adopted in its present format.
The Committee recommends that action be taken as outlined by the
Treasurer.

2. Municipal Financial Reporting Handbook (continued)
(c) Standards of Disclosure: The statements in the Handbook are
samples that meet the minimum disclosure requirements, i.e.
Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Operations,
Trust Fund Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements.
(d)
The Consolidated Statement of Operations provides an option as
follows:
i) For Town purposes only
ii) For Town, Region and School purposes, with the amounts received
or receivable for region and school boards deducted leaving the
Town portion only.
The Treasurer also recommends retaining the following statements:
i) Six Year Financial Review
ii) Analysis of Capital Operations by function
iii) Analysis of Reserves and Reserve Funds
The Committee recommends that the three additional financial
statements be retained as recommended by the Treasurer and that the
Consolidated Statement of Operation include region and school board
information, which will be deducted leaving the Town portion only.
Accrual of Interest on Long Term Liabilities: This is optional and
may be adopted or phased 1n if the munic1pality chooses.
The Treasurer recommends that if not accrued it should be reported
by way of a note.
The Committee recommends that accrual of interest be reported by way
of a note as recommended by the Treasurer.
(e) Capital Outlay: There should be a Council policy to determine what
dollar value represents a "significant expenditure".
The Treasurer notes that capital expenditures include those items of
a capital nature with a life span of more than one year. The
Treasurer suggests an amount of $500 or $1,000 be stipulated as
significant.
The Committee recommends that an amount of $1,000 be stipulated as
significant.
(f) Capital Leases: Now required to be reported on the balance sheet.
The Committee recommends no action at this time as the Town does not
have any capital leases. ·

an effect on auditing fees.
The Auditor advises that as the Town Treasurer prepares the
financial statements there should be no change in fees due to the
new reporting procedure.
(i) Accounting Policies: Where there is an option under the Handbook,
the practice adopted should be approved by Council.
The Committee recommends that based on the above comments and
recommendations, the Treasurer prepare draft statements for
discussion with the Committee and a subsequent report made to
Council.
Councillor West left the meeting due to business commitments at 4:30 p.m.

"In addition any members qualifying for membership in the
25-Year Club to be given a gift to a value of $75.00
suitably inscribed to recognize such service."
"Volunteer firefighters to be recognized in the same

Deputy Chief Donald Patrick joined the Aurora Fire Department on December 8,
1952 and Captain Ronald "Eric" Eveleigh on January 14, 1958.
The Committee recommends that the Purchasing Co-Ordinator arrange for the
purchase of suitable gifts as outlined in the Town Policy.
4. Letter 3-187 -Regional Engineering re: Inter-Regional Transit
Co-Ord1nat1on
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications has requested a formal
response to the Inter-Regional Transit Co-Ordination Implementation Plan by
March 21, 1984. As a result, the Regional Engineering Committee held an
information meeting on Monday, February 13, 1984.
This meeting was attended by Mayor Dick Illingworth and Transit Co-Ordinator
Steven Jones. A report will be available for Council in Committee on
February 29, 1984.
The Committee recommends that this item be received as information.
5. Letter 4-12 -Aurora South and Aurora North Girl Guides
6.
The Aurora units of Girl Guides of Canada advise that Guiding is growing in
Aurora with six Brownie units, six Guide units and two Pathfinder units with
38 leaders and assisted by another 10 District staff members.
The Guides are finding increasing costs in paper, duplicating, and supplies
as well as travel costs are becoming a burden. They are asking for a grant
of $600 in 1984 -an increase of $50 over 1983.
The Committee recommends that this request be considered during Budget
discussions.
Letter 4-52 -Royal Botanical Gardens re: Participation in Ontario
Bicentenn1al
In order to help celebrate Ontario's Bicentennial, the City of Kitchener has
offered to present a tree to the Royal Botanical Gardens, and suggested that
other communities do likewise. The Gardens have extended an invitation to
several Ontario municipalities to add to an already planned definitive
collection of ornamental Crab-apple (Malus) trees which will eventually
contain some 150 different Crabs and provide beauty in spring and fall for
decades to come.
The cost is $50.00 for which the Gardens will research and obtain the plant,
prepare the site and ensure staking and maintenance. Each botanical label
will acknowledge the donor.
The Committee recommends an expenditure of $50.00 to the Royal Botanical
Gardens for an "Aurora" tree in the Garden's Bicentennial Malus Collection.

7. Letter 4-68 -York Re~ion Association for Children with Learning
Disabilities re Munic1Ral Grant
The York Region ACLD was founded in 1976 to serve the needs of learning
disabled children, adults and their families within this area.
Approximately 10 percent of York Region's children have a specific learning
disability.
The York Region A.C.L.D. is a volunteer charitable organization, not funded
in any way except token membership fees, and through the contributions of
companies, service clubs and grants.
While the Committee recognizes the valuable work of the York Region
A.C.L.D., it believes their work is more of a regional nature and a request
for municipal assistance should be made to the Region of York. Therefore
the Committee recommends no action.
C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Status of Bell Telephone Lines
Reference is made to item C.1 of Administration and Finance Committee Report
#60 which was approved by Council on May 16, 1983 as follows:
"The Committee recommends that staff be requested to find out the difference
in cost between the 773 and the 889 lines and also that Bell Canada be
requested to carry out a "busy study".
The study was deferred pending a trial period with the new Bell switchboard
equipment.
Bell Canada reports that incoming calls on the 889 line are sometimes
rejected due to the line being in use. The same does not apply to the 773
line as this is primarily used by Town staff for outgoing calls.
The cost of the 773 line is $152,75 per month and the cost of the 889 line
is $303.50 per month. Staff report that they do not appear to be having the
same delays in obtaining a Toronto line with the new switchboard equipment
as they did with the former equipment.
The Committee recommends that no action be taken in 1984, but a further
review be carried out in October, 1984.
2. Review of Insurance Coverage
Reference is made to part of item A.3 of Administration and Finance
Committee Report #50 which was approved by Council on April 18, 1983 as
follows:
" ... but that all insurance policies be reviewed by the
Administration and Finance Committee prior to payment of
the 1984 premiums."
In discussing insurance coverage with Frank Cowan Company Limited in
general, and possible liability as to winter maintenance of sidewalks, the
representative agreed to attend a future meeting of the Administration and
Finance Committee to discuss consideration of a winter maintenance program.
The Committee recommends that a representative of Frank Cowan Company
Limited be invited to attend a meeting of the Administration and Finance
Committee at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 28, 1984.

3. Review of Agreement (and Bylaw) with York Sanitation
Reference is made to item C.8 of Council in Committee Report # 9 which was
approved by Council on February 6, 1984 as follows:
"Council in Committee recommends that effective r~arch 1,
1984, garbage collection in the Town of Aurora be once a
week for both Residential and Commercial establishments.
York Sanitation is to notify the residents of this change
in pol icy."
The current agreement with York Sanitation is dated 1970 and has been
changed as to rates by Resolution.
The Committee recommends that a new agreement be prepared between York
Sanitation and the Town of Aurora.
The Committee further recommends that Aurora Bylaw 1736-67 being "A Bylaw to
amend Bylaw Number 1227, being a Bylaw to Establish and Maintain a System
for the Collection, Removal and Disposal of Ashes, Garbage and other Refuse
in the Town of Aurora" be updated.
D. NEW BUSINESS
1. Sui l ding Permit Summary, January 1984
Residential Commercial Industrial
4 -$140,300 6-$17,520 1 -$1,150
The Committee recommends that this item be received as .information.
2. Pre-Authorized Tax Payments
The City of St. Albert, Alberta, has introduced an innovative plan to make
it easier for taxpayers to pay their tax bills. Taxpayers can now make
automatic monthly payments toward their annual civic bill, through the
Pre-Authorized Tax Payment Plan. The scheme involves an arrangement between
the city's bank and the ratepayer's bank, which automatically deducts the
pre-authorized payments, much like a mortgage payment.
The Township of Georgina has approved a pre-authorized tax payment plan
effective January 1, 1984, that will allow residents to pay property tax on
a monthly basis. In checking with the Township of Georgina, one of the
reasons for implementing the P.A.P. plan was the amount of tax arrears -
about 25 percent compared to Aurora's approximately 8 percent.
Treasurer William Johnson has concerns about the matter of tax penalties,
cash flow and bank charges under the PAP plan.
The Committee recommends that no action be taken at this time but the
experiences of Georgina and other municipalities using PAP be monitored
during 1984.
