3. Letter 18-82-Johnsons Controls Limited
The Committee reviewed the approximate costs of natural gas
expected to be consumed at the Community Centre during the upcoming
ice season. The contract between the Town and Johnson Controls
states that the present spectator area heating system be
discontinued as part of the company's specific energy conservation
strategy. If the Town wishes to continue the present spectator
area heating system, Johnson Controls, has advised that the costs
will be transferred back to the Town (approximately $6,000.00).
The Committee recommends that the spectator area heating system
continue as the Community Centre is dependant upon spectators for
ancillary revenues. The Committee was advised of the trial period
in the fall of 1984, when the heating was discontinued with adverse
effects and negative public reaction.
The Committee also recommends that Johnson Controls investigate
alternative heating methods that would ensure comfort conditions
are met but would reduce gas consumption and improve energy
efficiency. If this is possible, Johnson Controls Limited could
evaluate how these savings would affect the proposed surcharge as a
result of continuing to have spectator area heating.

Report No. 125 -Public Works Committee ... Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Pub 1 i c Works Committee was he 1 d on Wednesday, October 1,
1986 at 7:30 p.m. at the Administrative Centre.
Present were: Councillors Buck, Barker and Weller; and Director of Public
Works, Wm. Walker.
1. Rental Equipment Tender (Plow/Sander Vehicle)
The subject tender c 1 osed on September 26, 1986. Of the four ( 4)
tenders submitted, the two lowest were compared. Being that the tender
requests quotations on monthly standby and hourly working rate, the
Director of Public Works was able to determine that both submissions
represented equivalent cost to the Town upon 60 hours of operation being
undertaken per month. It is anticipated that substantially more hours
will be worked per month in the sanding and plowing operations. This
being anticipated, the tenderer quoting higher standby costs and lower
operating rates best suits the Town from a financial standpoint. (A
visual inspection of both units confirmed that said units were similar
in condition rating, the condition of same being acceptable.)
The following tenders were received:
Standby Sanding Rate Plowing Rate
Contractor Per Month Per Hour Per Hour
John Eek & Son Ltd. $2,900.00 $38.00 $51.00
Armking Contracting $1,800.00 $58.00 $68.00
Gormley Aggregates $2,500.00 $65.00 $75.00
Vic Priestly Contracting Ltd. $1,850.00 $48.50 $68.50
The Committee recommends the award of the subject tender to Mr. John Eek
at a standby rate of $2,900.00 per month and operating rate of $38.00
per hour for sanding operations and $51.00 per hour for plowing
operations.
2. Disposal of Leaves
The Director of Public Works made the Committee aware of the fact that
Pub 1 i c Works can no 1 onger burn 1 eaves at the Pub 1 i c Works faci 1 ity.
The Director is to arrange for the placement of an advertisement in the
1 oca 1 paper offering 1 eaves free of charge, f.o. b. Public Works
facility. Whatever isn't given to residents, nurseries, etc. must
either be disposed of in privately owned landfill sites, or the
Metropolitan Toronto landfill site on on Keele Street. Costs, not
experienced in past years, could run as high as $13,000.00 being that
the Keele Street landfill site charges $18.00 per metric tonne.

3. Murray Drive Sidewalk (Fairway Drive -Corbett Crescent Walkway)
The Committee, on being shown the proposed location of the sidewalk
(0.75 metres off property line), would recommend that Council endorse
same. This location is in fact our standard sidewalk corridor. In
accommodating same, there are trees presently located within the public
road allowance which require relocation or replacement. The cost of
arranging this preparatory work has been estimated to be in the order of
$3,000.00.
The Committee would recommend that said preparatory work be approved.
Tenders for the Murray Drive Sidewalk contract closed on October 2,
1986. Tender quotations were substantially higher than budgetary
estimates. Staff will endeavour to determine whether these quotations
were the result of a specification interpretation problem or previous
contractor commitment. Depending upon the outcome, staff will either
retender immediately or in the early spring.
4. Illumination of the Kennedy Street East Walkway
The Committee recommends that the Director of Public Works and
Councillor N. Weller investigate this request and that the Director make
arrangements to have same installed if felt appropriate.
5. Public Works Staff Request to Attend Seminar
The Committee would recommend that the Director of Public Works and the
Project Supervisor be given approval to attend the Ontario Hot-Mix
Producer Association's Seminar on Tuesday, November 4, 1986. The
Director has been given a complementary tuition fee. The cost of a
second tuition fee is $75.00. This expense to be allocated to Account
No. 3000-48.
The Committee furthermore recommends that up to three (3) Public Works
staff members be given approval to attend the Georgian Bay Waterworks
Association Conference at a cost of $15.00 each. This expense to be
allocated to Account No. 9140-48.
Adequate funds have been so budgeted.
6. Pineneedle Drive Sidewalk -Request to Delete Same
The Committee recommends that Town policy be followed and that the
sidewalk be constructed along the outside of the crescent. The
Committee would ask, however, that the Director of Public Works assist
the developer in determining whether minor design changes can be made in
order to retain desirable features and improve grades.
7. Safety Study
The Director of Public Works has reported that minutes from the last
meeting have now been prepared. The Director and Councillor Weller have
agreed to meet during the week of October 6, 1986 in order to establish
formal terms of reference.
8. Aurora Hydro Letter 15-159 (Water Billing)
The Committee would recommend that no change be made in the water
invoicing arrangement at this time.
9. Waterservice Van
Having received three (3) quotations for vehicles having similar
options, the Committee would recommend that the Highland Chev-Olds
Limited quotation in the amount of $13,089.00 plus P.S.T. be accepted
and that said cost be charged to Waterworks Reserve.
Quotations received by Public Works have been attached.

2. Fire Safety Plan
On April 22, 1986, an approved Fire Safety Plan was submitted to Mrs.
Joanne Spitzer, President of Theatre Aurora. One copy is to be posted
in the bar area and one copy sent to Rick Wood and Ray Cousins.
3. Inspections
Fire inspections are conducted on a regular basis with officials from
the Building Department, Liquor Control Board and Ontario Hydro when
applicable.
The Fire Inspections are done by the Deputy Fire Chief who will contact
Ray Cousins of the Theatre Group in order to coordinate any action that
may be required.
4. Liquor License
In review of the Liquor Licensing Laws of Ontario and as the occupant
load does not exceed 300 persons, a fire alarm system is not required.
However, as the Liquor License Board of Ontario considers these premises
to be a licensed beverage establishment, the occupant load exceeds 150
persons for license purposes, the building would require a fire
detection and fire alarm system.
In conversation with Theatre offici a 1 s, most functions do not attract
over 150 patrons. Therefore, it was recommended that the Theatre obtain
licenses for the lobby (72) or the auditorium (96) as opposed to
licensing the entire building.
