Report # 99 -Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on Thursday, October 18th,
1984 at 7:00 p.m. in the Economic Development Office.
1. Review of September 20th, 1984 Meeting
(a) Dunning Avenue/Edward Street Intersection
A meeting with the owners of the Auto Body shop and their solicitor
and the Clerk-Administrator was held and progress was indicated.
(b) Property Maintenance Standards By-Law
A call to the Solicitor indicated that no progress has been made on
this matter yet.
(c) Universal/Scanlon Court Land Transfers
The Committee was pleased to report that this land transfer has been
completed and the proceeds have been credited to the Industrial Park
Account.
(d) Bonphydarian Investments
The Committee reviewed Letter # 8-78 dated March 23, 1983 from Mrs.
Jeanne Canning of the Ministry of Government Services, in regard to
Mr. Stone's account.
They noted that at the Council meeting of April 18th, 1983, a
resolution was passed accepting responsibility for $1,018.75 of Mr.
Stone's account as outlined in Letter #8-78 and also that the
resolution stated that this was to be charged to the Industrial Park
Account.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 99-Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
1. Review of September 20th, 1984 Meeting (continued)
(d) Bonphydarian Investments (continued)
The Committee understands that the resolution did not direct staff
to pay this account but has indicated the Town's acceptance of
responsibility and the Committee would ask Council what further
action will be taken on this matter.
The second concern of the Committee is the charging of this cost to
the Industrial Park Account.
Mr. Stone's account was for services outside of the Industrial Park
for matters pertaining to the York-Durham sewage pipe installation
and in the Committee's view should be charged to the Services
Reserve account along with the Land Surveyors account for the survey
of the location of the sewage pipe.
The Committee would ask Council to rule on these matters.
(e) Gravity Sewer Line to St. John's Sideroad
The Committee was advised by the Director of Public Works that the
pumping station on the Industrial Parkway just north of Wellington
Street East is in poor condition and may require expensive repair
work in the near future if it is continued to be used.
The owners of the Revlis properties have advised that they will not
build the extension of the Industrial Parkway north through their
lands until the new gravity sewer line is installed and is
operational.
The interest in the industrial and commercial lands in Park# 3 has
been increasing but as it is impossible to guarantee prospective
purchasers that sewage will be available to these lands, it is
having a detrimental effect on sales.
The Committee would ask Council to consider the urgency of this
matter and decide what action should be taken to expedite this
matter.
(f) Parking Requirement Review
The Committee has been waiting for a report on this review since
June 18, 1984.
(g) Building Permit Fees for Industrial Buildings
The Committee Chairman did a survey by telephone on the various fees
charged by 12 area municipalities. A copy of this survey is
attached.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report# 99-Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
1. Review of September 20th, 1984 Meeting (continued)
(g) Building Permit Fees for Industrial Buildings (continued)
It was noted that the charge for additions was highest in Aurora for
a typical 20,000 square foot industrial building with a value of
$500,000.00.
It was noted that 10 of the municipalities surveyed charged the same
fee for additions as they did for new buildings and only Georgina
had a different charge but it was less than that for new buildings.
The Committee would therefore recommend to Council that the fee for
additions to industrial buildings be the same as for new buildings
and the fee for additions on other buildings be reduced after the
first $1,000.00 for value, as was done by Georgina.
(h) Lakeview Estates Sales Office
( i )
The Ministry of Government Services has advised that they would
allow the Town to use the site at the south-east corner of Yonge
Street and Vandorf Sideroad for an information building for the
Chamber of Commerce for five (5) years plus five (5) years.
They did, however, feel that they should receive rent of $125.00 per
month.
This matter is still under discussion but the Committee would ask
Council to indicate if they are willing to pay rent for this
property for this purpose and if so, how much?
Registering of Commercial and Industrial Buildings
A copy of a memo from the Fire Safety Officer is attached for
Council's information.
2. New Business
(a) Installation of the Proposed Pedestrian Walkway from the Valhalla
Subdivision to the Holland Valley Park Lands
As the depth of the proposed walkway would require some sort of
retaining walls to prevent the earth from adjoining properties
eroding into the 50 foot wide walkway and as the Town's option on
the two 50 foot lots on the west side of the CNR expires on October
2, 1985, the Committee would ask Council to decide if they wish this
walkway to be built and if so to which account the costs of this
walkway would be taken from as the walkway is of no benefit to the
Industrial Park.
(b) Part 9, Reference Plan 65R3800 (2.137 acres)
As there has been interested purchasers for this parcel of land and
as no official decision has been made as to whether the Leisure
Services require this land for the proposed recreational complex,
the Committee would ask Council to decide if the land should be
reserved for this complex or should it be sold for industrial use.
The asking price of this lot is $117,535.00.

Report # 100 -Public Works Committee ••• Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Public Works Committee was held on Monday, October 22nd, 1984, at
7:00 p.m. in Committee Room No.2 at the Administrative Centre.
Present Were: Councillor L. Ostick, Councillor E. Stewart, Councillor R. Barker
and Director of Public Works, Wm. Walker.
1. Fencing Policy
This policy has developed over the years and now appears to be deficient in
some areas. The Committee recommended that the Director of Public Works in
consultation with other Departments produce a draft policy for the next
Public Works Committee meeting.
2. Fencing of the Davis Road/Jones Court Stream Area
The abutting owners have again been contacted and no satisfactory replies
received. It is recommended that the matter be put in the hands of the fence
viewers in accordance with the Line Fences Act and the Clerk take the
necessary action.
3. Winter Sidewalk Maintenance
The Director of Public Works expressed concern about the wording of the
Council resolution re winter sidewalk maintenance. The reference to "well
sanded" needs to be clarified. The present priorities are: plough and sand
roads, plough 6 miles of sidewalk, spot sand 6 miles of sidewalk and finally
snow removal. No sidewalk sanding outside the programme can reasonably be
undertaken until the programme work is complete. This can furthermore be
delayed by a sewer or water main break. In order to guarantee 6 miles of
well sanded sidewalk, two additional men would be required during the winter
months.
4. Minor Design Projects
Public Works staff will be designing several projects on the Minor list
including Brookland Avenue, Huron Court, Jones Court, Mary Street and
Highland Court. Brookland Avenue will be scheduled into the programme
according to developer's servicing work.

thousand, assuming camera-ready copy was presented, and excluding covers.
The prices were obtained by the Town's Purchasing Co-Ordinator. L. Oliver
said that F. Shipman had offered to provide the artwork for any graphics
needed. It is now necessary to edit the text, re-type it for printing
purposes, and prepare the graphics. At. L. Ostick's suggestion it was
agreed that 1,000 copies of the settlement studies booklet be printed, at a
maximum total price of $2.25 each. Grants received from the Federal
Secretary of State's Ontario Bicentennial Fund and from the Town's
Bicentennial Committee will help finance this project.
L. Oliver reported the recommendations prepared by himself and F. Shipman
with regard to plaques marking significant areas of settlement in Aurora.
The recommendations and the results of the ensuing discussion are given in
an appendix to these minutes. It is proposed that a series of five cast
aluminum, free-standing plaques be erected, each marking the impact of early
settlement on an aspect of the Town's development --industry, commerce,
etc. The first plaque, dealing with the initial Yonge Street settlement,
would be paid for out of this year's budget.

It was reported that of the thirteen property owners approached for
permission to mark their buildings with plaques, seven had given positive
responses; one refused, at least for the present; and five did not reply.

did not respond.

A progress report was given regarding the Commercial Area Improvement
Program and in particular the west side parking lot project. A chart
showing the steps that have been taken and those which are remaining and
suggested timing has been prepared and is attached to this report.
The Committee stressed the need to complete the plans and call for tenders.
2. Clarification of Title
In carrying out the preparation of the plans for the parking lot, it has
become evident that some legal and survey work is necessary to complete the
leases and to obtain clear title to town areas. It is recommended that a
surveyor be engaged to prepare a reference plan and a legal search be
undertaken so that the leases can be prepared. Also that such action as is
needed to insure clear title to the various town owned parts be undertaken.
3. Continuation of Commercial Area Improvement Project
The continuation of the Commercial Area Improvement Project will require the
input of a landscape architect or urban designer to prepare allowances for
this. The Committee recommends to Council that a qualified person or firm
be hired to carry out this work.

The Grader is currently torn down for extensive repairs as previously
authorized by Council. Close examination of the drive mechanism and
transmission has revealed additional problems. The additional work is
estimated at $5,500. The Director of Public Works advises that additional
cost brings the total cost of repairs to $13,700 which remains within the
original estimated cost range of $9,500 to $17,500 as previously submitted to
Council.
The Committee recommends that the additional work be carried out at a cost of
up to $5,500.
B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Christmas Lights -1984
The Purchasing Co-Ordinator advises that he met with representatives of the
BIA and they have declined to participate this year. This consultation has

The Committee recommends that the above referenced tenders be accepted for
installation as early in 1985 as possible. Cost to be charged to the Park
Reserve Account.
3, PA System for the Community Centre
4.
Council previously approved in prindple the purchase and installation of a
new public address system for the Community Centre. In reviewing public
address systems in the province, it was learned by staff that K.D.M.
Electronics has installed approximately 99 rink installations including
Bradford, Barrie, Brampton, Scarborough and Thornhill. Executive
Communications has approximately 5 arenas where their equipment is
installed. Superior Communications have installed their equipment in 11
arenas in Ontario and Quebec.
The prices submitted are as follows: Superior Communications $23,220;
Executive Communications $14,475 and KDM Electronics $17,113.
Staff evaluated each system as to installation, workmanship, expertise of
company, experience with other arenas, and dependability. Based on the
above, staff recommend the tender of KDM Electronics.
The Committee recommends that the tender of KDM Electronics in the amount of
$17,113 be accepted and the cost charged to Capital Levy Account.
Automated Pay for Staff
One of the services offered by the Royal Bank was an automated payroll
service. The Purchasing Co-Ordinator compared this service with our current
system. Assuming a bi-weekly pay period, and a maximum figure of 151 payroll
cheques issued, it costs the Town $607.99 per year to print and distribute
payroll cheques. The Royal Bank charges 94 cents per employee for the
automated payroll service. Using the same assumptions, it would cost the
Town $3,690.44 a year for this service.
The Committee recommends no action be taken.
5, Overnight Parking -Municipal Building
Overnight parking is occurring in the Municipal Building parking lot. It is
believed this could present problems during snow plowing operation. Staff
advise that signs could be erected, to restrict overnight parking, as for
other municipal parking lots, i.e. United Church.
The Committee recommends that the Works Department erect the necessary signs.
6. Town Christmas Party
A proposed budget has been received from the Social Committee for the Town
Staff Christmas Party to be held at the Community Centre on December 8,
1984. The actual figure cannot be determined until the Social Committee
checks with all employees and spouses re attendance.
The Committee recommends that a sum not to exceed $2,500 be authorized for
the Christmas Party and paid from Account 1000-61 Receptions Civic.

2. Interim Tax Billing
Council previously authorized the deletion of the sewage levy for rural
residents in the non-serviced boundary area effective January 1, 1985. Our
legal advise is that area rating for this service will require OMB approval
which will not be available prior to 1985 interim tax billing.
Treasury staff have requested that tax installments due date be the last
Wednesday in the month rather than the first Wednesday of the month as
authorized by Council for 1984.
After considerable discussion, the Committee recommends as follows:
(a) That the Clerk-Administrator and/or the Solicitor make application
to the OMB for area rating of the sewer service as previously
authorized by Council.
(b) That the 1985 interim billing be the same for all residents of
Aurora, i.e. 50 percent of 1984 tax bill, and that adjustments for
area rating be made on the final tax billing following OMB approval.
(c) That tax installment due dates continue as the first Wednesday in
the month, or such other date following the first of the month, that
may be necessary for regional and school board levies.

In January, 1984, approximately $300,000 in 1983 invoices were received for
payment. Accounts will be approved at the regional Council meeting on
December 17, 1984.
The Committee recommends that other than for emergency purchases, all
invoices must be submitted to the Treasury Department by 12:00 noon on
