invited the Royal Bank to participate in our discussions. As a result
Visual Dynamics recommended a sign board that will accommodate our needs.
The cost for this Board is $2,300.00 which the Bank will sponsor under a new
sign agreement. ,
It is the recommendation of the Committee to proceed with the purchase and
installation of the sign Board and enter into an agreement with the Royal
Bank.

2. Letter # 19-60 -Region of York re: Pedestrian Crossovers
The Chairman advised the Committee that he had been updated by the Chairman
of Works on this matter and that the Regional concerns have been corrected.
Members of the Committee were concerned that the new crosswalk fixture

The Committee discussed at length, the safety situation in the area of
Aurora Heights P.S., more specifically Bigwin, Tecumseh and Laurentide "T"
intersections to Aurora Heights. These letters requested the Committee's
consideration to developing one (1) safe area for children who have to cross
from the north side to the south side of Aurora Heights to attend Aurora
Heights P.S.
Mr. LeRoij, who attended this portion of the meeting, elaborated on the
parents concerns and agreed with the Committee that there did not appear to
be one clear cut solution. One problem is the lack of a sidewalk on the
north side of Aurora Heights to allow children to reach a potential common
crossing. The following requests were made by parents for this area:

LeRoij, Aurora Heights P.S. (continued)
(i) The area be posted on the north and south sides with "School Zone"
signs to warn motorists of children crossing in the area -the
Committee concurs with this request and recommends four (4) signs,
two (2) north and two (2) south at Bigwin and Laurentide.
(ii) A three (3) way stop at Tecumseh and Aurora Heights-the Committee
recommends no action.
(iii) The construction of a sidewalk on the north side of Aurora Heights
Drive from Bigwin to Laurentide -the Committee would recommend that
a cost estimate for same be prepared prior to any further action.
(iv) Consideration for a crossing guard at Tecumseh or Laurentide with a
school crossing sign and lines -it was noted that a study for a
guard was done two {2) years ago at Laurentide and it was determined
not to be warranted. Mr. LeRoij produced a list of 32 children
using this area to cross each day to his knowledge and noted an
increase from two (2) years ago with new construction in the area.
The Committee noted the numerous factors for determining the school
guard need from information supplied by the Region. The Committee
further noted the particular road curvature in this area and would
recommend an updated study be done of the area between Bigwin and
Laurentide to determine the need of a designated school crossing
and crossing guard.
(vi) Consideration for establishing a student safety patrol was requested
-the Committee would fully support this request but identified the
fact from the Regency Acres requests that the School Board does not
encourage this activity. The Committee recommends that parents be
encouraged to contact our School Board Trustee, Mrs. E. Stoddart, on
this matter and further, that the Town request information on school
patrol programs from the Ontario Traffic Conference, York Regional
Police Force and Metro Toronto Police Force. This information
should be copied, packaged and sent along to the York Regional
School Board with our request for consideration and review.
(v) Speed bumps for Aurora Heights Drive were requested in this area but
for traffic safety concerns rejected by the Committee.
At the Mayor's request, Counci 11 or Pai vio volunteered to represent the
Committee at a Parent's Night on November 28th, 1984 at the School.
Copies of the general warrants for a crossing guard and for multi-way stop
signs are attached for Council's information.

B. OTHER MATTERS
1. Mayor's Memo dated October 5th, 1984 -Kennedy/McDonald
The Committee reviewed the Mayor's request for consideration of a four (4)

2. Mayor's Memo dated October 19th, 1984 re: Spruce/Mark Street
The Committee reviewed the Mayor's request for consideration for a four (4)
way stop at this location or a reversal of the stop signs as posted but
recommend no action be taken at this time.
3. Burning By-Law
The Committee concurs with the intent of requiring a written permit for open
air burning, especially as it relates to Town liability. Further discussion
ensued on the need to allow burning at all in the urban boundary of the
Town. Prior to a final recommendation, the Chief is to provide statistics
on the number of burning permits issued in the past year and where they were
issued for.
4. Candac Valley Drive
The Committee noted that a new highway sign has been erected on Yonge Street
by the Hazelburn subdivision indicating Candac Valley Drive turnoff. The
turnoff is identified on Town maps and by smaller street signs in the area
as Gilbert. The Committee requests clarification.
5. Committee Membership
Carl Weisser and Ted Bessant both indicated their interest to the Committee
in continuing for the following year as members. Omar Khamissa was not
present at this meeting.
6. Joint Staff -Safety Committee meetings -Follow-up
It was noted that on September 27, 1984, Councillors Jones, Paivio, Barker
and the Chief met with members of the full time firefighters and that on
October 4th, 1984, Councillors Jones, Paivio and the Chief met with
representatives of the volunteers with the prime objective of reviewing the
Fire Department composition and workings for two (2) way knowledge and
understanding. For those that attended these sessions, a good exchange was
experienced and the communication was appreciated.
From these meetings it is recommended that a follow-up meeting be held
between Councillors of the Safety Committee and the senior officers of the
Fire Department, full time and volunteer. This meeting would deal with
future department growth and requirements, especially in view of the
composite nature of our firefighting force.
Further, from the meetings already held, the Committee would endorse the
following recommendations made by the Chief and request appropriate
follow-up:

6. Joint Staff -Safety Committee meetings -Follow-up (continued)
(i) Training Manual Production
A rough copy of a Fire Department Training Manual has been at the
Town office for typing for almost one (1) year. It is understood
that staff assistance has been arranged and this manual will be
typed on the Micom system. It is requested that this manual be
finalized by the end of November. The Committee requests the
Clerk's assistance in this matter.
(ii) Internal Policy Manual
Given the growing nature of the Department and the new and changing
responsibilities, a policy manual is to be developed by the Chief
to formalize a number of areas that are unclear. In order to
accomplish this, the Committee, as a policy reviewing body,
recommends action on the following issues:
(a) Legal Coverage Information
The Committee recommends that the Town insurers be contacted by
the Clerk and requested to prepare a detailed information
package on liability coverage and insurance coverage for which
each firefighter, volunteer and full time are covered. Each
firefighter should receive a copy of same and a copy should be
kept in the policy manual. This information is requested by
December 15th, 1984.
(b) Court Appearance Compensation
Recently it was necessary for a volunteer to attend court on
behalf of the Town. The Committee recommends that in this type
of instance, if the volunteer loses wages from their normal job
that upon turning over their court fee to the Town, the Town
will reimburse the volunteer an average day's wage. This
policy should be formalized by the Clerk and entered into the
Policy Manual.
(c) Driver Training
It is recommended that a policy be prepared by the Clerk in
co-ordination with appropriate Department heads which includes
the use of appropriate Town vehicles for firefighters to
practice on and be able to take their Class "D" licence test.
One of the realities in our Department manpower make-up is that
the more drivers we have, volunteer and full time, the better
response potential will exist. It is the Committee's opinion
that the Town should encourage firefighters to acquire their
Class "D" licences. (It was further recommended to the Chief
that monies be allotted in the 1985 proposed budget for
appropriate driver training towards having a certified
instructor on staff who would be able to test all drivers in
all departments.) This policy should be documented and
~~' inserted into the policy manu a 1.

(iii) Secretarial Support and Photocopier
The Committee recommends that the Chief take these items into budget
consideration for 1985.
(iv) Retrofit
To date, the Town has requested and received permission to delay
retrofit requirements for two (2) years. As part of this
permission, the Town was to have indicated to the Fire Department a
written schedule of camp 1 i ance for each requirement. It is
recommended that this schedule be prepared by appropriate staff and
forwarded to the Fire Department prior to December 15th, 1984.
(v) Staff Matters
A number of staff matters were discussed among the Council members
of the Committee and the Chief. Further discussions will be held.
The discussions centred around the growing nature of our Fire
Department manpower both full time and volunteer, responsibilities
associated with this growth and the recognition of same.
It is hoped that sufficient matters can be clarified in order to
bring forward the Establishing By-Law to Council after the December
4th Public Safety meeting.

Report # 108 -Administration and Finance Committee ••• Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Administration and Finance Committee was held on Monday, November
12, 1984 at 3:30 p.m. in the Administration Centre.
Present were: Mayor Dick Illingworth, Councillors John West and Earl Stewart and
Clerk-Administrator K.B. Rodger. Councillor Richard Barker was in
attendance.
A. DELEGATION
1. Coat of Arms for the Town of Aurora
Reference is made to Council in Committee Report #41 which was accepted by
Council on May 7, 1984 as follows:
"Council in Committee recommends that Mr. MacPherson be invited to an
Administration and Finance Committee meeting to discuss this matter."
Mr. MacPherson advised that it was beyond the power of Council to approve a
"Coat of Arms" for the municipality. He stated that there were only two ways
to obtain an official Coat of Arms: (a) The College of Hera 1 ds, and (b)
The Lord Lyon, King of Arms.
Ontario municipalities have had their Coat of Arms approved by both
organizations, although the majority used The Lord Lyon, as the process was
simpler and not as expensive. The cost varies depending on the contents of
the Coat of Arms, but would average out at 600 pounds (approximately
$1,000}.
Un 1 ess Coats of Arms have been approved, they are considered "bogus arms".
While there is no restrictions, at this time, in Canada for the use of
"bogus arms", it would be an offence in the United Kingdom.
Mr. MacPherson displayed several approved Coats of Arms for Ontario
municipalities, i.e. Uxbridge, Milton, Pelham, Guelph, and explained various
aspects of the Arms.
The Committee recommends that a letter and a copy of our Coat of Arms be
forwarded to:
The Lord Lyon,
King of Arms,
Register House,
Edinburgh, Scotland.
advising that the Town of Aurora has recently discovered, that to the best
of our knowledge, our Coat of Arms has never been approved by a competent
authority and that comments be requested as to approval with a minimum
amount of change. Mr. McPherson be requested to handle this matter on
behalf of the Town of Aurora.

The Committee recommends that this letter be received as information.
2. Letter 21-108: Victorian Order of Nurses re: Grant Allocation
The letter states in part:
"The VON has been providing professional nursing care to residents of York
Region since 1959. The York Branch has projected that 40,000 visits will be
made to residents this year. We currently have two nurses working full time
in the Town of Aurora who will make an estimated 4,706 visits to 707
patients in 1984-1985."
The Committee recommends that this request be considered during the
preparation of the 1985 budget.
3. Letter 21-109: Treasury Department re: Staffing Requirements
The Treasurer has listed several items as to the reasons an additional staff
member is required. This was in response to item D.3 of Council in
Committee Report #85 which was accepted by Council on September 17, 1984
as follows:
30, 1984 of their projected staff requirements for 1985 and further that a
four-year projected forecast of staff requirements for every department be
submitted by the Spring of 1985 for Council's consideration.
The Committee recommends that this requirement be held until reports are
received from other departments.
C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Interim Tax Billing
This item was included in Administration and Finance Committee Report #105,
which was before Council on November 5, 1984 but due to additional
information from the Treasury Department, it was referred back to the
Committee.
The Committee had recommended, in part:
" (c) That tax i nsta 11 ment 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."
A review of adjacent municipalities reveals that due dates are in the last
week of the month, as requested by our Treasury Department, instead of the
first week of the month as recommended by the Committee.
The Committee recommends as follows:
(a) That items (a) and (b) of Report #105 be approved as previously
submitted.
(b) That the due date be as close to the end of the month as possible,
which will still allow school board and regional levies to be made
without pen a 1 ty.

Item B.l of Council in Committee Report #103 which was approved by Council
on November 5, 1984 is as follows:
"The Committee discussed this matter and recommends that it be referred to
the Administration and Finance Committee for a report."
The "Community Participation Kit" has not yet been received from the
Ministry, so tht it possible further suggestions will be considered. In the
meantime, the Committee recommends as follows:
(a) That a letter be forwarded to all elementary schools in Aurora and
teachers and classes be invited to visit the Municipal building and
other public buildings, i.e. Fire Hall.
Members of Council will be required to act as hosts and talk about
local government.
{b) That schools and service clubs, etc. be advised that members of
Council are available to visit a school class or a meeting to talk
about local government.
3. Bingo Fees
On October 15, 1984, Council adopted a resolution, in part, as follows:
"The fee charged by the Town upon receipt of application for a licence to
operate a bingo lottery scheme shall equal 2 percent of the total value of
the prizes to be awarded."
In 1984, the Aurora Legion paid a total of $104 {$2 a week) for their bingo
fee. In 1983, a total profit of $2,700 was raised through bingos of which
$2,000 was donated to the Cadet Corp. The balance was used for other
community projects.
The new schedule of fees, even with the limited prize money given by the
Legion, could cost them upward of $20.00 per week.
The Committee recommends that staff review the bingo fee schedule to
determine if a sliding scale can be adopted so as to not hamper small bingo
operations with limited prize money.
4. Administration and Personnel Policies
The Committee reviewed a draft administration and personnel policy,
including long-term disability, for full time salaried employees of the Town
save and except those employees under contract and save and except those
members of the Aurora Professional Fire Fighters Association.
Certain amendments were suggested, so that the proposed policy would be in
accord with existing contracts.
