Letter #9-3-Application No. 87.84.A, John Anthony Green & Erica Anna Green, re: Lots 1 & 2, R.Pian M-70, Fox Po1nt Road The application proposes to create a Right-of-Way for a driveway over Lot 2, the applicant's lands, in favour of Lot 1 (owned by Matjon Properties Limited). The application and required fee ($275) was submitted to the Land Division Committee on March 14, 1984, incomplete; on March 27th the application being completed, the requests for comments from the Agencies concerned were sent out on March 29th. The Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. J. D. Hall, advises that since February 1, 1984, they have advised all prospective applicants about the consent power going back to some of the municipalities. In the subject case, the applicants were so advised, but wished to make the application to the Regional Land Division Committee anyway. The Town of Aurora, it appears, has three choices: to ask the applicant for a new fee, ask the Regional Land Division Committee for part of the submitted fee, or waive the fee for the subject application. ·'-~- COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, MAY 7th, 1984 -w - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES Report# 39 -Planning Committee ••• Various Matters (continued) E.

Letter 9-47 -Director of Leisure Services re: Pre-Season Ice and Post eason ce (a) Post Season After April 1, the regular program at the Community Centre is greatly reduced, as Recreation Hockey, Figure Skating, Aurora Tigers and Minor Hockey House League programs are finished. Due to the success of the Aurora Representative teams, they are often in competition for All Ontario Championships, and in order that they can complete the series with home games, ice is left in the Community Centre until late April. Every effort is made to rent the ice to other groups and this has been quite successful. (b) Pre-Season About four years ago, the ice season was extended by allowing a two week Hockey School in August. This created several problems, e.g. Minor Lacrosse had to play their games out of town; idle hours were abundant and operating costs increased. The regular program of ice users commences on or about September 15 to October 1. The Aurora Tigers, Figure Skating and sundry users use the ice prior to the regular season. The Director of Leisure Services advises that the following are being investigated: "(a) Attract an adult tournament in early September and in April where concessions revenues can also be helpful. (b) Try to encourage other ice activities in the off peak times. (c) Establish a true energy cost for the operation of machinery in August and April and reflect that rate to users." As commitments have been made for this August, the Committee recommends that this period be used to carry out the investigations suggested above, and a report will be submitted prior to the end of 1984.

The Treasury Department has reviewed canteen sales for the first quarter of 1984 as follows: January February March Expenses $4,314.81 $4,518.81 $3,273.22 Sales $6,207.19 $6,591.16 $5,220.80 Profit $1,992.38 $2,072.35 $1,947.58 % of Profit 31.59 31.45 37.31 The Committee recommends that the canteen be self-operated for 1984 and a further review be carried out prior to the end of 1984. 4.

The Committee also notes that the letter recommends rates of $3.50 and $3.00 per hour, whereas the Leisure Services Report recommends $7.00 and $6.00 a game. 5. Letter 9-54 -Director of Leisure Services re: Department Reorganization As of January 1984, several managerial changes have taken place in the Department of Leisure Services. "The Community Centre was reorganized and instead of a Community Centre Manager, the present Foreman's position has assumed full responsibility for full-time staff and part-time staff; maintenance of the daily ice log; key security of the Community Centre and implementation of such systems relating to that system. The office secretary has assumed the auditorium and community hall building's scheduling; catering requests; etc. Contracts are to be filled and a deposit must be made in order that a booking can be confirmed. As both individuals, Don Patrick and Mrs. Verdoold have accepted the work inherit with the existing staff reorganization, I would recommend that both positions' salaries be reviewed and that a realignment be taken into consideration retroactive to January 13, 1984." The Committee recommends that the Clerk-Administrator be requested to submit recommendations to the Administration and Finance Committee so that a report can be submitted to Council in Committee.

Letter 9-66 -Director of Leisure Services re: Use of Town Vehicles In review of the vehicles under the jurisdiction of the Department of Leisure Services, I would like to recommend that: The Parks Foreman be allowed to take the Town vehicle home after hours. This recommendation is prompted by the fact that the Department maintains all the community buildings in the Town and due to the nature of the facilities, our Parks Foreman is continually on call in case of furnace repairs, break-ins, water pipes bursting, etc. As the facilities are regularly booked, it is essential that each building is operating at an acceptable level for our many programs. If the Council desires to change the policy, the possibility of paying overtime and standby for our employees will have to be included in the Budget and at this time would be difficult to project. The Committee recommends that this letter be deferred until a policy has been determined for use of Town vehicles. 7.

"The Treasurer also advised that By-law 1554-63 should be updated." The Treasurer has once again recommended that bi-weekly pay would be more economical.

Planning Policies Buck: Jones: Whereas, Council has elected to appoint several Standing Committees for the purpose of study and objective reporting on those items referred to them by Council, And Whereas, the Planning Committee deals with development proposals which are first presented at the public meeting of Council, And Whereas, discussion at Committee level is informal and provides for further input from developers' representatives, And Whereas, only elected officials have the right to participate in public debate, And Whereas, the recent practice of permitting developers to have delegation status on the night of the Planning Committee's report to Council, in effect, permits developers to engage in public debate against the Committee's recommendation even before the Planning report is considered by Council, And Whereas, this practise is perceived to have the effect of undermining the responsibility of the Committee for objective reports to Council based on sound planning principles, Now Therefore, be it resolved, that a policy be adopted that representation by developers be restricted to initial presentation to a regular Council meeting and informal input at the Committee level, Be it further resolved that further representation by developers to Council be permitted only after a written submission supporting the request be considered by Council.
