two Villages on the basis of twenty hours per week.
The contract with Oshawa Security Services Limited ended on December 31st 1982, and
in accordance with the direction of Council, a review was done of the program for
the purpose of determining the cost of the program, its effectiveness and the level
of satisfaction the merchants have with the program.
Program Cost
- The budget allocation for 1982 was $6,000.00

PROGRAM SATISFACTION
A number of businessmen, residents and the area Councillors have at various times,
indicated that the program has met expectation and that they are satisfied, that the
program has had a positive effect upon both business areas. If satisfaction and
effectiveness, and not revenue potential are the criteria to be used to measure the
value of the program during the preliminary period, then the future of the program
should be determined on the same basis.

CD-3-83 - 3 - January 3, 1983
The options available to the Town with respect to the program are:
(a) to cancel the program; or,
(b) to continue the program.
Cancellation of the program will merely require us to advise the contractor of the
discontinuation of the program. To continue the program, however, will require that
consideration be given to the following options:
(a) award contract to current supplier for a further period of one year
at the same rate (20 hours per week @ $7.50 per hour plus mileage @
.20� per km.) ;
(b) invite quotations from other agencies in the same field;
(c) employ a part-time enforcement officer: _this_would require the person
to be bonded, and be covered for benefits such as U.I.C. , C.P.P. ,
Vacation Pa y, Workmen's Compensation, and uniforms; estimated cost
$10,500.00.
If it is the Committee's decision to continue the program with the current contractor,
Oshawa Security Services Limited, then it will be necessary to authorize an interim
expenditure of funds pending approval of the 1983 budget and subsequently, to approve
an allocation in the 1983 budget.
Based upon current estimates the cost of the program for a one year period would be
$12,000.00.
Labour (52 weeks x 20 hours per week x 7.50 per hour) $10,300.00
Mileage (52 weeks x $30.00 per week) $ 1,560.00
TO'T'AL $11,860.00
