After considerable discussion it was determined that the consultants would meet with Dr. Oliver, Councillor Barker and Mrs. Seibert within the next two weeks to review the final draft which will then be presented to Council. 2. west Side Parking Lot The Committee reviewed the plans prepared by Reid & Associates Consulting Engineering and would recommend that layout #2 which provides a greater number of parking spaces be implemented. The Committee recommends that trees be added to the proposal as was suggested on the Gunter Herkner plan and that some lower rise lighting in the same style as that to be placed on Yonge Street be provided for. The Committee will review lighting standards at its next meeting. The Committee recommends that the solicitor be requested to prepare leases between the Town and the owners of land in the parking lot area for a period of 20 years. The lease arrangement is to be for a nominal sum. The meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m. The next meeting will be held on October 16th, at 7:30 p.m. Barker: Jones: Resolved that Commercial Development Advisory Committee Report # 87 dated September 18th, 1984 be discussed item by item and accepted. CARRIED Report# 88 ~ Economic'Oevelopment'committee' ~.~Various Matters The Committee respectfully submits the following: A meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on Thursday, September 20th, 1984 at 7:00 p.m. in the Economic Development Office in the Administrative Centre. Present Were: Councillors E. Stewart, T. Jones and R. Barker. 1. Review of'J~1j'l9t~;'1984'Meeting (a) o~nning'Avenue7Edward Street'Intersection Upon request of the owners of the Body Shop property a letter has been sent to the owners advising them of the Town's interest in purchasing the property. The Committee noted that this matter has been under consideration since February 1982, and would like to have this matter resolved so that construction could commence in 1985. (b) Propertj'Maintenance Standards'Bj-Law As stated in the Economic Development report of July 19th, 1984, the draft of the new Property Maintenance Standards By-Law is in the hands of our solicitor for review. As this matter has been a subject of concern since April of 1981, the Committee would like to have it resolved as soon as possible. (c) universal/Scanlon'Co~rt'Lana Transfers Mr. Rodney Pryde of Strathy, Archibald and Seagram expects to close these land transfers on or about September 28th, 1984. The Committee noted that the original offer by the purchasers was agreed to by both parties by a letter dated November 11, 1982. COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, OCTOBER 1st, 1984 - 8 - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued) Report # 88 ~ Ec6r1omi c Deve 1 opment Coriuid ttee ; • ; Various Matters (continued) 1. Review of July-19th; 1984 Meeting (continued) (d) Bonphyda ri an Investments The Chairman advised the Economic Development Committee that he had contacted Mr. Henry Stone in regard to Council's decision not to pay his bill. Mr. Stone in turn advised that until said bill was paid there would be no further negotiations on the purchase of the lands for the Parkway extension or on the easement for the sanitary sewer main through his firm's property. As both of these acquisitions are vital to the future Economic Development of the Town, the Committee request Council to determine what action will be taken to resolve this matter. (e) Gravity sewer Line to st. John's Sideroad In the Committee's last report a meeting was scheduled for August 13th, 1984 with the landowners involved and the Clerk- Administrator. That meeting evidently did not take place. The Committee would ask Council to request the Clerk-Administrator to arrange another meeting with the landowners so that a solution on this matter can be reached. (f) Parking Requirement Review There has been no report from staff on this matter and the Committee would like to receive a report as soon as possible. (g) Building Permit Fees for Industrial Buildings It was requested in the Economic Development Committee's report dated July 19th, 1984 that Council direct staff to review the fee schedule and clear up the confusion as to what should constitute an addition and suggested that additions in excess of 1,000 square feet be charged the same building permit fee as a new industrial building rather than the fee for Alterations, Additions and Repairs which requires a permit fee of 1% of the total value. As several industries presently located in Aurora are planning large expansions to their plants, and as these industries are an important segment in the economY and commerce of Aurora, not only providing · jobs for our people but pay a major portion of the taxes in our Town, the Committee feels very strongly that they should be encouraged and appreciated for increasing our industrial base and not penalized by being charged what they consider to be unfair and excessive building permit fees. The Committee again asks Council to direct staff to deal with this matter as soon as possible and have a report back to Council for the October 15th, 1984 meeting. f"N-'<< i i -~- COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, OCTOBER 1st, 1984 - 9 - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued) Report # 88 --Economic Deve1opment Committee-; •• Various Matters (continued) 2. New-Business (a) Lal<evi ew sa 1 es OHi ce The Chairman has contacted the Ministry of Government Services to obtain tenative approval to place the Lakeview Sales Office, should it be given to the Town, on the property at the intersection of Yonge Street South and the Vandorf Road, as was authorized by Council on May 7, 1984. The Committee questioned the zoning of this property for the use as a Chamber of Commerce information office. If it is required that the zoning be changed, the Committee request that Council direct staff to arrange for the proper amendment to the By-Law be prepared to allow for such a use on that portion of the intersection that will be required. {b) Registering of a11 New Businesses and Industry The following is an excerpt from the Economic Development Committee Report # 7 dated January 12, 1981: "RegiSteri 119 of a 11 New Commerd a 1 llus i lless and Industrial Firms As some cdncern has been evident that transient firms or individuals have been setting up businesses for short periods or in some cases firms that do not conform with local zoning by-laws have established operations in Aurora and that these firms or individuals through the nature of their operations could create hazards from a fire or safety standpoint, and whereas the Town has no way of knowing of the existence of these establishments or businesses until after they have become established and/or created a problem, the Committee would recommend that Council consider the feasibility of making it mandatory for all new businesses or firms to register with the Town of Aurora before they occupy any premises within the Town to operate any type of business or industry. The Committee would further recommend to Council that staff be consulted as to the administration costs of this registration and if a fee were to be charged as to whether any of the said fee should be refundable to the said registrant to ensure that they return and notify the Town when they are leaving Aurora. It was also suggested that the Hydro could be consulted to see if they could co-operate by not supplying hydro until the individual or firm shows proof of this registration." The Committee discussed this matter and because of the ongoing concerns expressed by Fire Safety Officer Fred Bolsby and because of the evident loss of tax dollars to the community, the Committee would once again ask Council to consider the drafting of a by-law that would require all new businesses to register with the Town prior to occupying any industrial or commercial building and also notify the Town when giving up occupancy of any industrial or commercial building within the corporate limits of Aurora. The matter of a registration fee should also be considered. ,.,._-,·~·., r'·' ~·., COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, OCTOBER 1st, 1984 -10 - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued) Report # 88-Economic~ Development Committee .~.

Ostick, Councillor E. Stewart, Councillor R. Barker and Director of Public Works Wm.G. Walker. A. VARIOUS MATTERS 1. Driveway Restoration Repairs 2. The present policy is that where a driveway is disturbed by work of the Department, the area is cut to a straight line and repaired. The whole width of the driveway is not replaced if the part remaining is of reasonable width. If the owner wishes to do more work at his own expense, it is recommended that the Works Department does not get involved in doing the extra work. It is further recommended in these areas that the Town reimburse the owner to the extent of the Town's costs as calculated by the Director of Works. Stream Area ~~Davis Road/Jones~Court At the request of Councillor West, the Director of Public Works produced an estimate of $80,000.00 to install a culvert pipe and level the area. The Committee recommends that the fences be replaced and if one further effort to secure the agreement of the adjoining owners fails, the matter be put in the hands of the fence viewers to decide if the Council's proposal is fair and reasonable.

Paper Recycling The Committee discussed this matter and will meet with Upper Canada Recycling before making a recommendation. 4. Sidewalk winter Maintenance The Director of Public Works requests direction from Council on the level of service and purchase of equipment. The Committee recommends that the existing program be continued with the addition of moving snow from areas where the lack of storage makes it impossible for the property owner to maintain a clear sidewalk. Consideration should be given to purchasing a piece of equipment to facilitate this loading operation. 5. Rural Road Standards Reference is made to the attached memo which lists the cost of alternatives for treating rural roads. Replies from other municipalities show that they are not doing anything different to the Town of Aurora but some are spending more money. The standard of the rural roads will not improve until Council budget more money and has a program to upgrade them on a regular basis. The Calcium Chloride mix is weaker than it used to be to avoid reducing frequency of application because the budget has not kept up with increased costs. 6. Surface Treatme~t ( C6llins"Crescent) Improvements to this street cannot be justified under the Roads Needs Study unless policy is changed, more money made available and several miles of road upgraded. 7. 1985"Capita1 works"Pr6gram Reference is made to the memo dated 24th September from the Town Engineer and Director of Public Works. The Committee recommends that the reconstruction of the Industrial Parkway from Centre Street to the Legion be the main contract for the 1985 construction program. The second memo from the Engineer and the Director would then apply. This is not a new suggestion but was discussed in Public Works Report # 98 dated October 1983. B.

Community Centre Operation (continued) The Committee questioned the outstanding receivables and it was pointed out that a considerable portion of this was for catering services, in which the Town pays the caterer and bills the user. Reference is made to item F.4 of Leisure Services Committee Report #34 which was discussed at Council on April 16, 1984. The report is as follows: "After reviewing the pros and cons of the catering operation at the Community Centre, it is recommended that the Town charge $1.00 per person for dinner function in the auditorium. The staff will not be responsible for catering arrangements after August 1, 1984. The Committee further recommends that staff investigate the selling of the stove and dishes."

The Director of Leisure Services reported that due to the limitations of the program and the short deadline, it was not possible to prepare a list of possible municipal projects. In addition, he pointed out that the Katimavik volunteers located in Aurora want to carry out community projects, as do the young people from the Bahai. The Committee recommends as follows: (a) That no action be taken regarding the Youth Works Program. (b) That the Director of Leisure Services maintain liaison with the Katimavik volunteers and the young Bahai, plus any other interested youth groups in carrying out community projects. 3. Banking Proposals Reference is made to item A.2 of Administration and Finance Committee Report #84 which was adopted by Council on September 17, 1984 as follows: "The Committee recommends that meetings be arranged with representatives of the Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank as outlined, and the other banks be advised accordingly." ........ ~-· COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, OCTOBER 1st, 1984 -14 - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued) Report # 90 ~ Admiriistration/rinance Committee ••• \/ariousMatters (continued) A.

The Royal Bank will charge a flat rate of $100.00 per month for the two-year period, for a total of $2,400.00 • In addition, they will provide a safety deposit box plus five 24-hour depository wallets. The difference in the activity charges between the. two banks is $3,360.00 over the two-year period. The Royal Bank has offered up to $3,000 as reimbursement for unused cheques in the town's possession. The Committee recommends as follows: (a) That the Town of Aurora enter into a two-year agreement with the Royal Bank of Canada as outlined. (b) That the effective date be November 1, 1984, or as soon as possible thereafter, and every effort made to complete the transfer by December 31, 1984. (c) That the Purchasing Co-Ordinator liaise with the Royal Bank regarding the printing of cheques and that the Town Crest replace the July First Swirl. (d) That the Bank of Montreal be thanked for their services to the Town of Aurora over the many years. B. CORRt$PONOENCt 1.

Letter 18~23 . -B.)ll aw tnfori:ement Officer re: Noxious Weeds Reference is made to item C.5 of Administration and Finance Committee Report #66 which was adopted by Council on July 16, 1984 as follows: "It is understood that the Weed Inspector adds 15 percent for admi ni strati ve costs when arranging for weeds to be cut, but that this no longer covers the cost of administration. Therefore the Committee recommends that the administration costs be incr,eased for 1985 (i.e. 25 percent) but that the Weed Inspector submit a recommendation to the Committee by September 15, 1984." The Weed Inspector advises that the 15 percent "overhead surcharge" as implemented in 1982 by his recommendation to Council, and adopted May 17, 1982, was not, nor intended at that time to cover the "cost of administration". The Weed Inspector states; "I cannot support a recommendation to increase the 15 percent overhead surcharge to (i.e. 25 percent) for 1985, as the present charge in effect appears adequate and sufficient for the charges implemented in administering the weed Act, and an increase would be considered excessive." ' The Committee reviewed the examples provided by the Weed Inspector and agree that the 15 percent covers "direct" costs such as advertising, registered letters, etc., but the Committee does not believe it covers the indirect costs, e.g. office space, typing, telephone, etc. It is noted that in subdivision agreements, the Town charges 35 percent administrative costs if the Town has to carry out the work. The Committee recommends that the Administration costs for the cutting of noxious weeds by the Town be increased from 15 percent to 25 percent effective January 1, 1985. COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, OCTOBER 1st, 1984 -16 - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued) Report # 90 -Administration/Finance Committee ••• Various Matters (continued) C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. Christmas Lights 1984 As quotations have not yet been received from all suppliers, the Committee recommends that this item be deferred until October 9, 1984. However, the Committee notes that no information has been received from the BIA as to joint participation. 2. Service Contract on Computer Room Air Conditioner In 1983, there was insufficient time to obtain quotations for a service contract on the computer room air conditioner, and a contract with the previous supplier was accepted in the amount of $965.00. The Committee recommends that the Purchasing Co-Ordinator obtain prices, or alternative suggestions, for servicing the computer room air conditioner. 3. Bi-Weekly Pay Since 1980 or before, the Town Auditor and the Town Treasurer have been recommending that the pay period for Town employees be changed from weekly to bi-weekly to save clerical and computer time, plus other costs, e.g. cheques. The production of the weekly payroll comprises the following approximate time and cost factors: (a) Payroll Clerk's Time -18 hours per week (b) Computer Operating Time -4 hours per week (c) Cheque supply averages 125 cheques per week at an annual cost of $692.00. (d) Paper supply averages 4,000 sheets per year at a cost of $225.00. The Committee recommends that bi-weekly pay commencing January 1, 1985 be adopted in principle and the Purchasing Co-Ordinator and Treasury staff prepare a report as to implementation. 4. Payment of New Aerial Fire Truck The terms of payment for the aerial fire truck as outlined in the tender document calls for a 30 percent payment ($76,743.00) within four months of placing the order, with a final payment-of 70 percent on delivery ($179,067 .DO). The Committee recommends that the final payment be paid as follows: $50,000 from the Vehicle Replacement Reserve (balance as of August 31, 1984 is $173,465.45). balance from the Capital Levy Reserve Fund (balance as of August 31, 1984 is $3,329,300.42). The Committee further recommends that the final payment be reduced by $7,000 as the trade-in value of the old aerial truck as per the agreement.

Animal control"Services ~"1985 The Town of Aurora contract with Kennel Inn is on an annual basis. While the Committee has not received any complaints regarding the service provided by Kennel Inn, it is recommended that the Purchasing Co-Ordinator be authorized to obtain competitive quotations for 1985. 2. Garbage"Collection 1985 The Town of Aurora contract with York Sanitation is on an annual basis. While the Committee has not received any complaints regarding the service provided by York Sanitation, although it has received complaints about the frequency of service, the Committee recommends that the Purchasing Co-Ordinator be authorized to obtain competitive quotations for 1985 on the following basis: (a) once a week collection -12 months (b) twice a week collection -12 months (c) once a week collection, with the exception of the month of June, July and August when collection to be twice a week. 3. Pest Control The Town of Aurora has a contract with PCO for pest control on an annual basis. The Committee recommends that the Purchasing Co-Ordinator be authorized to ascertain the effectiveness of our current methods of pest control and to obtain competitive quotations for 1985. 4. Sunday Bingo It was brought to the attention of the Committee that the Canadiana Roller Rink plans to hold Bingos which will be sponsored by various Aurora groups. The Aurora Soccer Club Building Committee has arranged for Sunday Night Bingo commencing Sunday, October 21, 1984. Some advertising has already been prepared. This was done after an alleged check with Town staff who advised there is "nothing against it", providing it doesn't conflict with the Lord's Day Act. It is understood that York Regional Police have no objection. However, our legal advice is that we cannot issue a licence for Sunday Bingo without authority and it would appear an enabling bylaw is required under the Lord's Day (Ontario) Act. Section 1 of the Act states that the bylaw will permit engagement in, or attendance at, "any public game or sport" that is specified in the bylaw. The Committee recommend that staff obtain as much information as possible, and a staff report be available for Council on October 1, 1984.
