development of the Hunter's Hills Estates property.
They outlined that the original request for 41 lots on this property had
been reduced to 30 and that the screening concern from Bathurst Street would
be satisfied by reinforcing the existing vegetation. Also the modified plan
would have the traffic outlet from Elderberry conforming with the request of
the Region. They requested that Council consider a modification to Official

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued}
Report# 67-Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
1. Review of June 15th Meeting
2.
(a) Dunning Avenue/Edward Street Intersection
A letter has been received from Caroline and Christopher, Barristers
and Solicitors informing that Mr. Paul Caroline will now be
representing Mr. Benimadhu, the owner of the auto body repair shop
at 202 Edward Street. He will arrange a meeting with the Town
representatives in the immediate future.
(b) Property Maintenance Standards By-Law
The by-law is presently being reviewed by the Town's solicitors and
should be returned within a matter of weeks.
(c) Universal/Scanlon Court Land Transfers
This transaction should be closing soon as agreements have been
reached on all the controversial matters.
(d) Bonphydari an Investments
(e)
(f)
A meeting of the principals involved is scheduled for early August
and they will discuss the selling price of the lands required by the
Town.
Gravity Sewer Line to St. John's Sideroad
The meeting with the land owners of the lands required for the
roadway and sewer location is being arranged for August 13th, 1984.
Cost Estimate for Servicing Park # 3
The cost estimates have now been received and the additional cost to
enclose the storm water run off within storm sewer pipes rather than
using the open ditch method does not put the total cost above the
original estimate.
The Committee would recommend that Council agree to include the
additional cost of these storm sewers in the tender documents when
it is decided to put this project out for tender.
(g) Parking Requirement Review
In relation to other municipalities such as Scarborough,
Mississauga, East York, Brampton, Richmond Hill, Aurora's
requirements for the number of parking spaces per gross floor area
for single use manufacturing buildings is high. Aurora has not
however considered increasing the requirements for multi-use
industrial buildings which has resulted in overcrowding in some of
Aurora's multi-use industrial plazas.
It is hoped that staff can come up with a reasonable solution to
this problem in the near future.
New Business
(a) Building Permit Fees for Industrial Building Expansions
The present fee schedule for Commercial; Industrial and
Institutional buildings is 10 ~per square foot up to 10,000 sq.
ft. of floor area and 9f per sq. ft. from 10,000 to 25,000 sq. ft.
of floor area.

(a) Building Permit Fees for Industrial Building Expansions (continued)
Under section (g) of Schedule A attached, for Alterations,
Additions, Repairs, the fees are much higher at $10.00 for each
$1,000.00 of value of the work to be done.
We have several industries who have planned additions to their
plants and some are of considerable size and value.
Example is shown below:
Typical 20,000 sg. ft. expansion:
Under Section "C"
First 10,000 sq. ft. @ 10f per sq. ft.
Next 10,000 sq. ft. @ 9~ per sq. ft.

Under Section "G"
$10.00 for each $1,000.00 value

=
=
=
$1,000.00
900.00
$1,900.00
$5,000.00
It is possible that the intent of section (g) was to be applied only
to small alterations, additions and repairs and if so a maximum fee
should have been included.
Alternately, section (c) could be more specific by including "new
buildings and additions in excess of 1,000 sq. ft. of total floor
area ...
The Committee would recommend that Council direct staff to review
the fee schedule for building permits and report their
recommendations for any changes that would clear up any confusion as
to which section should apply to Industrial building expansions.

B. DELEGATIONS
1. Mr. and Mrs. Knowles re: Reuben Street Parking
Mrs. Knowles gave a presentation, supported with pictures, on the parking
situation on Reuben and the effects of the parking requirements from the
Medical Centre.
As a 14 year resident, her main concern is for the children and general
safety for those that use this street. She explained that the north side of
the street has never had parking allowed primarily because of the embankment
which would force cars to park further out in the street as their doors
wouldn't open, thus narrowing the street and also because of the laneway and
associated turning traffic from residents and the Medical Centre and, a
hydrant, all on the north side. Many children use Reuben as a route to the
pool. Mrs. Knowles did point out that there is a Parking lot at the end of
Reuben.
The parking restrictions on the south side were implemented this year at the
request of residents whose driveways were constantly blocked by cars using
the Medical Centre. This also created a dangerous situation as parking
narrowed the use of Reuben, especially in the Winter.
The principal problem was identified as the bulk of cars using the Medical
Centre especially in light of the extra doctors offices which have located
there. Mrs. Knowles explained the parking requirements were satisfied for
those doctors when land was leased to them in the laneway for parking, but
the lease was not renewed and it has resulted in inadequate parking.
Although parking is currently leased on the east side of Yonge we are going
to have a bigger problem when that land is developed and that parking
disappears. Plus patients prefer to get as close to the Centre as possible
without using this leased parking area.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 71 -Public Safety Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
B. DELEGATIONS (continued)
1. Mr. and Mrs. Knowles re: Reuben Street Parking (continued)
(i) With the traffic flow in the laneway, the Knowles have requested a
guard rail for along their property line as cars constantly back
into their hedges. What is the status of such a request. Why might
this not have been considered when the Medical Centre (and perceived
traffic use) was being planned. Also, where is the property line of
the Knowles on the laneway side of their property from the lane.
(ii) The fire route designation has been posted, but the position of the
signs appears to be unclear. Do they mean no parking on both sides
of the laneway, as cars are still parking in the laneway.
(iii) If the laneway has been determined to be the Town's, will the Town
be responsible for snow clearing.
(iv) The Medical Centre doctors should be asked for their assistance in
seeing that the laneway is kept clear of cars and overflow parking
is directed to the leased properties.
(v) The Committee recommends no change in parking.
C. OTHER MATTtRS
1. Mayor's Memo dated May 16th, 1984 re: Hill Drive Parking
After a review of this situation and some discussion with some residents on
this street, the Committee concurs that there is a parking problem on Hill
Drive and recommends that the south side of Hi 11 Drive be designated "No
Parking". This leaves the north side fully available for parking.
2. Mayor's Memo dated May 29th, 1984 re: Avondale Court Parking
After a review of this situation and discussion with some residents of this
street, the Committee concurs that there is a parking problem on Avondale
and recommends that the north and west side of Avondale be designated "no
parking". Further the Committee would request that the By-Laws Officer
periodically check the south-west corner of Avondale and Spruce for a school
bus which parks there and obstructs vision for traffic using that
intersection. The Committee believes school buses are not allowed to be
parked on the street overnight.
3. Mayor's Memo dated June 20th, 1984 re: Walkway -Wiles/Sandusky
The Committee reviewed this request and feels at this time this situation is
not a priority for action given funds are not available but that it should
be referred to the 1985 Budget discussions re: Walkway Lighting -Works.
4. Mayor's Memo dated July 16th, 1984 re: No Parking -Murray Drive
The Committee discussed this request for temporary hooding of "No Parking"
signs but feel that for safety and possible confusion potential, no action
should be taken on the request.
5. Mary/Industry Stop Sign Request
The Chairman received a phone call from a resident requesting stop signs at
Mary and Industry. The Committee discussed this situation but recommends no
action at this time.

The Chairman received a phone call from Mrs. Heidrich requesting that the
"No Parking" be extended along the south side of Aurora Heights from the
Community Centre as she was having difficulty getting out of her driveway
when cars are parked opposite to her. The Committee recommends no action.
7. Fire Regulation By-Law Number 2615
The Chief reports this by-law is basically complete and upon review by the
Clerk it should be brought forth to Council.
8. Chief's Memo dated June 20th, 1984 re: Uniforms
9.
10.
Currently there exists a policy of the purchase of one (1) dress uniform per
year for a firefighter next in seniority. These uniforms are used at all
formal functions, parades, etc. Les Steiner has requested that he be
permitted to proceed with the purchase of his uniform out of his pocket, as
long as when he qualifies (1986), he will be reimbursed at that time. The
Committee recommends Mr. Steiner be permitted to purchase a uniform with
payback when he qualifies and further that this matter be reviewed for the
1985 budget discussions. Currently there are ten (10) volunteers who do not
have a complete dress uniform.
Burning By-Law -Review
The Chief has requested that our current burning by-law be reviewed with an
eye to tightening up some of the outdoor burning situations we have
currently been experiencing. Most other municipalities have done so. Some
improvements have been the establishment of a formal burning permit which
formalizes the legal responsibility back to the permit holder. It also
ensures proper information getting to those who burn outside. The Committee
recommends that the Chief and Clerk review this by-law for future Council
consideration.
JAWS Demonstration
The Chief advises that Members of Council are welcome to attend a
demonstration of a JAWS unit at Carcone Wrecking yard on August 13th, 1984
at 5:45p.m. and 6:45p.m. This equipment is in the Department's Capital
equipment forecast.
11. Retrofit
The Chief advised that all of Aurora's religious establishments have been
granted a one (1) year extension for retrofit.
12. Disabled By-Law Review
The Chief advises that his department has reviewed this proposed by-law and
finds it satisfactory. The Committee recommends that upon other department
review, this by-law be brought back to Council for approval.
13. Air Purification Tower -Purchase
The Committee recommends that the Chief proceed through the Purchasing
Officer to acquire this tower. This was an approved budgetted item.

A. DELEGATION:
1. Purchasing Policy -S. Jones, Purchasing Co-Ordinator
Reference is made to item D.6 of Administration and Finance Committee Report
#42 which was adopted by Council on May 7, 1984 as follows:
"With the implementation of central purchasing and the need to maintain good
fiscal management, the Committee recommends that the Purchasing Co-ordinator
review existing purchasing policies, including the limits set for department
heads and Committee Chairmen, and submit recommendations for an updated
purchasing policy to the Administration and Finance Committee."
The Purchasing Co-Ordinator has prepared a report on "Purchasing Procedures
and Policies"; a draft purchasing bylaw and a draft purchasing policy,
which are attached as Appendix "A".
This material was fully discussed at a Department Heads meeting and as a
result some changes were made in the draft bylaw and draft policy.
The amended material was discussed by the Administration and Finance
Committee in conjunction with the comments of the Department Heads. In
order that the draft purchasing procedures and policies can have the fullest
possible discussion prior to approval by Council, the following
recommendations are made to Council in Committee:
(a) That budgetary control be maintained on a budget component basis,
rather than by 1 i ne-by-1 i ne items within the component or "cost
centre".
(b) That the Purchasing Co-Ordinator provide on-going information to
Department Heads as to availability of material, trends, etc., so
that the Department Head will be in a better position to forecast
requirements.
(c) With the exception of emergency or specialty items, as may be
specified from time to time by the Department Head, all town
purchases are to be made through the Purchasing Co-Ordinator.
(d) All requisitions for purchases are to contain an estimated delivery
date. If delivery is not made by the date specified, the department
is to notify the Purchasing Co-Ordinator who will take follow-up
action.
(e) Arrangements are to be made with local merchants to open town charge
accounts for routine day-to-day requirements. Town employees to
sign for items received and indicate the job or location to which
the item is to be charged. Employees should show town
identification on request.
(f) All items or services to be tendered or purchased through an
invitational bid to be considered on the tender price alone, with no
consideration as to local preference.
(g) Inclusion in the Budget is not necessarily authority to purchase.
Committee reports are to include recommendation to purchase quoting
amount budgetted and appropriate accounting code.
(h) Item 28 (f) (g) and (h) of Bylaw 2554-83 (Procedural Bylaw) to be
rescinded on adoption of the Purchasing Bylaw.

Mr. Bowell is a resident of Aurora, a partner in the firm and has
accompanied Mr. Reid during some annual audits. The Treasurer adds; "Since
he is well acquainted with the financial procedures and operation of Aurora,

2. Retrofit -Victoria Hall
The Fire Department has inspected Victoria Hall in accordance with Retrofit
regulations and recommends as follows:

in conformance with the Fire Code."
The Director of Leisure Services advises that the containment of the
furnace room, drywall ceiling and the panic hardware should be carried out
at an estimated cost of $1,243.48. As the construction of the partition
wall in the storage room, and the replacement of the missing door is not
mandatory, no action be taken.
The Committee recommends that the Director of Leisure Services and the
Purchasing Co-Ordinator be authorized to spend up to $1,300 from the
appropriate account to contain the furnace room, drywall the ceiling and
install the panic hardware as recommended by the Fire Department.

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 was recommended that the Town charge $1.00 per person
for dinner functions in the auditori urn. The staff will not be responsi b 1 e
for catering arrangements after August 1st, 1984. The Committee further
recommends that staff investigate the selling of the stove and dishes."
The report was amended as follows:
"Resolved that this item be deferred and more information be requested from
the Director of Leisure Services."
The Director of Leisure Services advises as follows:
(a) The installation of the kitchen exhaust system depends on Council's
decision on catering.
(b) It will be necessary for Council to decide if a fire alarm and
detection system is to be installed and make funds available.
(c) The 1983 price estimate for the west stairs will be updated and it
is noted that this item was included in the CRCA application

4. Committee Appointments
Reference is made to item A.l of Administration and Finance Committee Report
#7 which was adopted by Council on February 6, 1984 as follows:
"The Committee also recommends that Council give consideration to staggering

the first date of appointment, the subsequent dates of reappointment, if
any, for all members whose term of office expires November 30, 1984, and
this information be forwarded to the Administration and Finance Committee by
September 30, 1984."
The Committee reviewed the membership, terms of appointment, expiry date and
legislative authority for all committees as follows:
(a) Aurora Library Board: One Member's term expires November, 1984 and
the remaining two members' terms expire November 1985. New draft
legislation requires terms of office to be concurrent with terms of
Council.
(b) Committee of Adjustment: All five members' terms of office expire
November 1985 in accordance with the Planning Act which requires
committee members to hold office for the terms of Council.
(c) Leisure Services Committee:
November, 1984. As this is

appointment.
(e) Property Standards Committee: One member's term expires in
November, 1984, another in November, 1985. and another in November,
1986. Legislation leaves terms of office to be determined in the
municipal bylaw.
(f) Public Safety Committee: All three members' terms of office expire
in November, 1984. As this is a local committee, there is no
legislation to determine length of appointment.
(g) SLSCA: One member whose term of office expires November 1986.
Legislation states not to hold office for more than three years at a
time.
(h) BIA Board of Management: Four members' terms of office to expire
November 1985. Legislation states term of office is for term of
Council. One member is a member of Council.
(i) Commercial Development Advisory Committee: Five citizen members and
three Council members. As this is a local committee, there is no
legislative authority and term of office appears to be open.
In summary, the appointment to Library Board (draft legislation); Committee
of Adjustment and the BIA Board of Management are for the term of Council as
set out in legislation.
There does not appear to be a set term of office for appointees to the
remaining committees.
The Association of Municipalities have endorsed a resolution calling for
staggered terms of office for committee appointees.
Until such time as the result of the AMO Resolution is obtained, and in the
interests of uniformity in appointments to committees, the Committee
recommends as follows:
(a) Subject to agreement of individuals concerned, all appointments
expiring November, 1984 be extended to November 1985.
(b) If the staggering of appointments cannot be made, the Procedural
Bylaw be amended to the effect that all future appointments (after
November, 1985} shall be for a three year term concurrent with the
term of Council, with only one reappointment to the same committee
(total of six years).
(c) That the outgoing Council shall place an advertisement in the local
press by November 1st of the election year requesting applications
to the various committees by December 1st, of the election year,
including applications by current members if they wish to continue.
(d) The incoming Council shall consider the applications and make
appointments as early as possible. Some current legislation states
"appointments shall be made at the first meeting of the Council in
each term, but if Council fails to make the appointments at its
first meeting, it shall do so at its next meeting."

7. Graduate Planner
In accordance with Council's directive to hire a graduate planner for a six
month period, Mrs. Seibert will arrange for an advertisement in the local

Mrs. Seibert has stated that the sa 1 ary expected by such a person wi 11 be in
the neighbourhood of $20,000 annually.
The Committee is of the opinion that a graduate planner just out of school,
