Executive Summary: While long term financing (internal and external) was always generally approved by Council during the annual capital budgeting process and/or through specific reports, there has never been a specific formal approval by the Council for capital projects requiring such financing with the terms and conditions being specified in detail. This Report to Council serves as that final formal approval and Corporate Services will complete all the necessary documentation. The 2005 to 2007 approved debt financed capital projects will be funded by the issuance of debentures through the Regional Municipality of Durham as per Attachment 2. Council has to formally approve the request to undertake the long term financing through the issuance of debentures through the Regional Municipality of Durham at the terms and conditions Report CS 44-07 October 9, 2007 Subject: Final Approval for Financing of Council Approved Capital Projects - External Borrowing Through the Issuance of Debentures Page 3 93 as arranged in the capital markets as was approved by Council for the 2005 and 2007 Capital Budgets. The Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer has certified that these loans and the repayment thereof falls within the City's Debt and Financial Obligations approved Annual Repayment Limit for debt and other financial obligations for 2007 as established by the Province for municipalities in Ontario. Financial Implications: Total Cost of All Proiects In addition to debenture financing, these projects are also funded by other sources of funds. The breakdown of the various sources of funds is as follows: Sources Debenture COMRIF "Move Current Funds Total s Grant Ontario" Costs Reserve Amount $2,070,000 372,525 375,000 6,880 $2,824,405 Other than .debenture financing of $2,070,000, the combined total of all other sources of funds is $754,405. The grand total cost of all these projects is $2,824,40. Attachment 2 provides further detailed breakdown of all other sources of funding. Internal Loans The 2007 Capital Budget included internal loans in the amount of $803,000 out of which, $597,000 has been identified as required. Attachment 2 provides the detailed breakdown on these internal loans. The combined estimated principal and interest payment for the above internal loans are $106,325 and payment will commence in 2008. These internal loans will be temporary financed by the Development Charges Reserve Funds and repaid through an allocation in the annual current budget commencing in 2008. The internal borrowing rate is normally determined by using the Ontario Strategic Infrastructure Financing Authority's (OSIFA)'s rates and other comparable municipal borrowing as a guideline or benchmark. The table below provides a comparison of what is available in the market at this time.

The current state of credit market would suggest that the rates for the internal loans not be officially determined at this time. The official rates will be determined based on either any forthcoming fall debenture issue by the Regional Municipality of Durham or market rates at the time of official borrowing in December 2007. External Debts The total of all external debentures requested for the fall 2007 is $2,070,000; Attachment 2 provides a detailed breakdown of all projects funded by external debentures. The external borrowing rate will be determined by the capital markets at the time of the issuance of the debentures. Financial Burden The annual loan and debt repayment charges are funded through the general property tax levy in the annual Current Budgets. The projected total of internal loans and debentures outstanding for December 31, 2007 is $17,796,566. Please refer to Attachment 3. Sustainability Implications: This financing is necessary to provide the financial means to sustain the City's capital investments in infrastructure. Background: Continuous growth has created a need for capital infrastructure to maintain the level of services provided to residents and businesses. Funding sources for capital projects are identified and approved by Council prior to the commencement of the projects. The continuous growth coupled with aging capital infrastructure calls for expansion to new facilities, replacement and repairs. This prompted the need for more borrowing to fund the capital projects. Total borrowings from the reserve funds to finance 2007 and prior years capital projects are projected at $4,590,555 for year end 2007. Such internal borrowings require appropriate approvals and documentation in Report CS 44-07 October 9, 2007 Subject: Final Approval for Financing of Council Approved Capital Projects - External Borrowing Through the Issuance of Debentures Page 5 95 accordance with the Municipal Act 2001, S401 (1) and the Development Charges Act 1997, S36 O.Reg. 82/98 s.12 (2) 3,4,5. Corporate Services will complete the necessary documentation including Promissory Notes indicating the amount, term, interest rate and other relevant information relating to the internal loans and their repayment. Normally, all external debenture requested by an area municipality is issued through the Regional Municipality of Durham. However, if there may be other ,more cost effective means of financing available, the Treasurer may resort to these alternatives. Alternate financing may be desirable or necessary for some portions of the City's requirements. The Recommendations allow for the best course of action to take place. The recommendations also provide a limited degree of flexibility in the event that the documentation for projects or portions thereof is insufficient to meet the legal requirements for a debenture issue in that the project can then be financed through other means. They also provide for some flexibility with the treatment of excess proceeds that may be raised as a result of the market conditions (Le. issued as a premium) or excess funds resulting once project costs are complete and final. The costs of financing of approximately $20,000 have been included in the 2007 Current Budget for the 2007 capital projects. This cost represents commissions, legal fees, and registration for debentures with the Canadian Depository for Securities (C.D.S.) and any discount upon sale. Under Pursuant to Resolution 144/99 the Mayor and Treasurer has the authority to sign the Promissory Notes. Attachments: 1.
