1. Introduction
Councillor West discussed the concerns of Council regarding the operating
costs of the Aurora Comunity Centre. Last year operating cost was
$55,251.00 not including a Town Grant of $34,608.00. Council is concerned
about the length of the ice season, summer ice and town subsidies. The
Leisure Services Advisory Committee are reviewing policies that will help
define the responsibilities, regulations and procedures affecting facility
users.
2. Present Policies
(i) At the present, the Minor Hockey, Figure Skating and Recreation
Hockey programs receive a $5.00 per hour ice subsidy on every hour
used at the Community Centre. Groups are asked to present financial
statement for the past season to the Administration and Finance
Committee as soon as possible.
(ii) Pre-Season Surcharge
An extra $5.00 per hour on prime time hours is charged for any ice
rented before September 1st of each ice season.
(iii) Out of Town Groups
Out of town organizations and individuals will pay an extra $15.00
per hour on prime time hours. This is not likely to happen during
the regular season but in preseason scheduling.
3. Outstanding Business
(a) Sport Ga 11 eri es
It was recommended that the Lacrosse, Figure Skating and Minor
Hockey respresentatives get together to discuss possible guidelines
for the galleries. It was suggested that the Aurora Minor Hockey
Association pennants that surround the ice surface be placed on the
last wall of the Community Centre with pictures being placed
adjacent these banners. A meeting has been set up for June 27th at
7:30p.m. in the Community Centre to discuss this matter.

3. Outstanding Business (continued)
(b) Trophy Show Case
It was noted that Minor Hockey has been waiting for approval for
their showcase since last summer. As there are plans to be
rennovations in terms of the board room, south canteen area, it was
recommended that this be delayed until that change has been
approved. It was stated by Minor Hockey if the trophy case could
be built with enough space to accommodate the plaques and trophies
of the Aurora Minor Hockey Association, the office might be given
back to the Town.
4. New Business
(a) The Town Council approved that new boards and glass will be erected
around the ice surface next year preferably in the spring.
(b) The Finance and Administration Committee will be investigating
avenues to pursue for financing of the public address system in the
Centre. Mr. Tobias, Aurora Tigers suggested that the Clubs could
help in terms of a fund raising project to decrease the Town costs.
(c) An energy audit of the Community Centre will be conducted this
summer to determine areas where we can conserve energy. Heat
reclamation systems, jet ice, lighting, peak load demands will be
investigated and hopefully implemented. Keeping a control on energy
consumption will also help control our deficit.
(d) A rekeying of the facilities will be completed shortly. This should
solve any of the assumptions of who has keys etc.
(e) A public meeting for the Sports Complex proposal will be held on
Wednesday September 19th, 1984, at 8 p.m.
(f) Storage Rooms
At present there are several groups who have storage space at the
Centre. The Committee was concerned about misuse of storage space
and whether or not a rent should be charged for that use.
After discussion with the groups, it was recommended that no rate be
charged for storage, but that an increase of $1.50/hr. be added on
the ice rental rates.
(g) Rental Rates Policies
Staff are presently reviewing all existing rental rates and policies
and will be sending copies to all facility users outlining the
procedures.
(h) Wintario Programs
The new program has been announced and information can be attained
from the Leisure Services Office. The new program allows 50%
funding, however there is a ceiling of total monies available in the
province for the program. In the past this was an ongoing budget.

Pedestrian crossings at intersections, were going to be painted. As well
the Committee would recommend consideration be given to marking all
pedestrian crossing areas with Yellow instead of white for better visibility
especially in glare or snow conditions.
6. Pedestrian Crosswalk
Committee members inquired as to when the Pedestrian Crosswalk overhead sign
at Yonge and Mosley was going to be updated as recommended in the Town

2.
3.
The Committee Chairman was informed that the Public Works Department had
some concern about the clearing of the sidewalk on the east side of Wells,
north of Wellington. The Committee reconfirms its recommendations passed by
Council on the safety of this intersection and regards this area for snow
clearing as a priority.
Letter # 10-94 -The Ontario Traffic Conference
The Committee names Councillors Tim Jones and Norm Stewart as the two
elected officials to be Aurora's representatives in this category. We would
further recommend that Fire Chief Stu Wilson and Director of Public Works
Bill Walker be named as the Safety and Engineering representatives, which
enables them to receive all mailings from the OTA.
Letter # 10-180 -The York Region Board of Education
This matter was referred back to the Public Safety Committee for further
consideration. The Committee was concerned that it did not want to set a
precedent with No Parking extensions at all public and private driveways.
Because of the slope and narrowing of t~cDonald, as it approaches Wellington,
it is recommended that at the first driveway on the east side of McDonald,
south of Wellington, one "NO PARKING" sign be erected to prohibit parking
from the driveway to a point 30' south.
4. Letter # 11-26 -Birch Court/Walton Drive
A petition was received from Mr. Steven Hinder and 15 residents in this area
expressing concern about the volume and speeding of cars going along Walton
and requesting a four-way stop at this location. The Committee recommends
that its members view this situation to determine whether the need for a
warrants examination exists. A recommendation to be determined at the July
meeting.
5. Letter# 11-50-The Regional Municipality of York and Mayor's Memo dated
May 14th, 1984
The Committee commends this action by the Region in recommending a uniform
Parking By-Law for the Disabled. This recommended by-law takes into account
all of the concerns held by the Safety Committee. The Committee recommends
that staff comment on this By-Law after which it is hoped that the Council
will adopt and implement as appropriate.

Report# 56 -Public Safety Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
B. CORRESPONDENCE (continued)
6. Letter # 11-73 -Reuben/Temperance -Parking and Laneway
The Chairman reexamined this area in light of the fact that no action had
been taken from the approved minutes in the May Safety Report that stated:
"the No Parking on the (north) side be removed except for
a distance of 25 feet on either side of the Janeway
entrance ••• "
A rough calculation indicated that there was 144 feet from the laneway to
Yonge, and when 30' from the Yonge intersection and 25' from the laneway are
deducted, this leaves approximately 80' for Parking. Similarly, it was
estimated that there was 120 feet from the laneway west to a hydrant at the
corner of Reuben and Temperance. After deducting 25' from the laneway and
10' from the hydrant, this left approximately 80 feet for parking. The
Committee is concerned about the need for additional parking for patients
using the Medical Centre and reconfirms its recommendation in 1 ifting the
"No Parking" on Reuben except for 25' ether side of the laneway.
7. Letter# 12-58-Old Bloomington-Safety Concern
The Committee discussed this matter and recommends:
(a) that York Regional Pol ice be asked to monitor this road with radar
and,
(b) that residents be polled as to their preference regarding Old
Bloomington Road being made into a one-way east street or remaining
as two-way.
8. Letter# 13-57 -Mr. and Mrs. France, Aurora, Ontario re: Murray Drive
Concerns
The Committee recommends that Mr. and Mrs. France be advised of the speed
reduction and line painting action agreed upon by Council.
9. Mayor's Letter to Mr. F. Horsfield. dated April 25, 1984
The Committee Chairman has spoken with Mr. Horsfield regarding his concern
about parking on the south-west corner of Macdonald and Hammond. After
review, the Committee recommends that a "No Parking from Here to Corner" be
implemented and signed on Macdonald (west side) from the south corner of
Hammond to a point 10 feet past the first driveway, to enable better
visibility at this curved area.
10. Mayor's Memo dated May 16th, 1984 re: Hill Drive
The Committee recommends that members review this situation in order to make
a recommendation to Council at its July meeting.
11. Mayor's Memo dated May 16th, 1984 re: Murray Drive
The Committee recommends no action be taken as it is felt with the lowering
of the speed limit and solid line implementation along with school zone
signs, another sign indicating road narrows is not necessary.
12. Mayor's Memo dated May 29th, 1984 re: Avondale Court
The Committee recommends that members review this situation in order to make
a recommendation to Council at its July meeting.

The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on Friday, June 15th, 1984
at 4:30 p.m. in the Economic Development Office.
Present Were: Councillors E. Stewart, T. Jones and R. Barker.
1. Review of May 24th Meeting
(a) Dunning Avenue and Edward Street Intersection
No contact has been made by the lawyer representing the property
owner in this matter.
(b) Property Maintenance Standards By-Law
This re-drafted by-law is presently being reviewed by our solicitors
and the Committee would hope it will soon be available to the
Council.
The unsightly outside storage on certain properties on the
Industrial Parkway North is getting worse rather than better and
interest from potential industrial land purchasers is being effected
not to mention the concerns of land owners and industries presently
located in this area.
{c) Universal and Scanlon Court Land Transfers
No further action to report on this matter. The Committee members
feel that this land transfer has been pending for far too long and
would request that Council direct the Clerk-Administrator to look
into the reasons for this delay and instigate immediate action to
have this transfer completed.
(d) Henry Stone of Bonphydarian Investments
Mr. Stone has advised the Chairman of the Economic Development
Committee that he expects a decision from his principals regarding
the value of the land for the Industrial Parkway and other lands
west of the roadway shortly.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report# 59 -Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
1. Review of May 24th Meeting (continued)
(e) Gravity Sewer Line to St. John's Sideroad
Discussions with Reid and Associates have revealed that progress on
the sewer line location is being delayed due to a decision on the
final location of a proposed roadway running east from the
Industrial Parkway North to the Kovac lands which are dependent upon
an access roadway prior to receiving a rezoning for industrial use.
The Committee is anxious to get this gravity sewer line installed as
soon as possible as the extension of the Industrial Parkway North to
the St. John's Sideroad is being delayed until it is installed.
The Committee would recommend that Council direct staff and Reid and
Associates to give this matter top priority.
(f) Cost Estimate for Servicing Park# 3
These cost estimates have now been received but the Committee is
concerned about the storm water runoff being channelled into open
ditches rather than enclosed in storm water drain pipes.
Some areas in Park # 1 are still causing concern because of the open
swail method of controlling storm water and the Committee is
requesting Council to authorize Reid and Associates to prepare a
cost estimate for enclosing storm sewers rather than open ditches so
that the Committee can consider if the benefits will justify the
extra cost.
2. New Business
(a) Industrial Assessment and Taxes
The Committee reviewed the amount of taxes per square foot charged
for Industrial buildings in Aurora versus other surrounding
municipalities.
It was found that Aurora's competitiveness was declining due to the
number of new residences that were being built thus increasing the
residential assessment and widening the gap between the percentage
of industrial and residential assessment.
The Committee recommends that Council seriously review any high
density future development in Aurora until more industrial -
commercial assessment is in place.
(b) Parking Requirements for Industrial Buildings
The Committee has received several complaints from potential one
user industrial building owners because of the high number of
parking spaces required and on the other hand the Committee finds
there are not enough parking spaces and manouvering areas in the
smaller multi-use industrial buildings (i.e.-Allaura Boulevard).
The Committee would recommend that Council authorize Mrs. Seibert to
review our present parking requirements for Industrial buildings in
an effort to come up with amendments to our zoning by-law that would
ease the parking standards for single use buildings and increase the
parking requirements for the smaller multi-use industrial buildings.

2. New Business (continued)
(c) Motel-Hotel Site in Park Number 3
The Chairman met with a representative of a firm of Consultants who
recommend motel-hotel sites for many of the major hotel chaims.
He viewed the two (2) locations on Wellington Street East and
favoured the one on the east side of the intersection of the
proposed Mary Street extension because it overlooked the open space
lands and would have the best exposure to the motorists coming to
Aurora from the future 404 highway.
His visit was done at no charge but if Council wished to proceed
with a study on this site for use as a Hotel or Motel his fee would
range from $7,000.00-$15,000.00 depending on the complexity of the
study.
The Committee feels that a study at this time would be premature but
would suggest that Council consider reserving this site for the
present time at least, as a possible future motel-hotel location.
(d) Advertising
The Region of York have chosen a printing firm to produce an
Industrial information magazine to publicize the industries and
opportunities within the Region of York.
The Committee endorses the Region's decision and compliments them
for taking this initiative to promote such an informative
publication.
The Committee intends to support this publication and expend some of
their budget monies advertising Aurora's industrial lands and
opportunities in it.
3. Correspondence
(a) Letter # 13-63 -Central Ontario Travel Association
The Central Ontario Travel Association has requested that Aurora
send 1,000 copies of informational brochures about our municipality
to them to be distributed at the various canal lock locations that
will allow boaters to become better informed about the
municipalities in the area.
The Committee suggests that if 1,000 copies of the small "Welcome to
Aurora" brochures produced jointly by the Town and the Chamber of
Commerce are available, they should be sent to C.O.T.A.
(b) Letter# 13-29 -Lakevie~ Estates re: Sales Trailer
The Committee was pleased to hear of the most generous offer from
Lakeview Estates by donating their sales office to the Town when
they have completed their use of it.
The facility would make an ideal Information Office for the Town and
negotiations are underway to gain permission from the M.T.C. and the
Ministry of Government Services to use the area at the junction of
Yonge Street and the Vandorf Road as a possible site for this
building. The Chamber of Commerce have previously indicated their
interest in this facility.
