Executive Summary:
Not applicable
Financial Implications: The 2003 Current (Operating) & Capital Budgets, if adopted
as presented, will result in the "direct" City Controlled tax levy increase of 4.9 per cent
over last year's average property tax bill. In addition, the City Controlled Tax Levy will
have to be increased by $526,567 to offset the decrease in property tax revenues
resulting from changes in property tax policies imposed by senior levels of government
resulting in an overall Total Tax Levy of 6.8%. On a home assessed at $200,000, the
total tax levy proposed increase equates to $52.00 or one dollar per week.
Adoption of the 2003 Capital Budget includes the use, or draw down, of reserves and
reserve funds of approximately $2,704,390.
Capital Budget financing also necessitates the use of $3,824,971 in debt that will result
in an increase in the 2003 Current (Operating) Budget for 'debt charges' in the amount
of $530,600, which is a 2.0 per cent tax impact.
Background: The Recommendations put forth are those necessary to adopt the
2003 Current (Operating) and Capital Budgets of the City of Pickering. As in past
years, the Chief Administrative Officer, the Treasurer and the Department Heads have
worked diligently to keep current operating expenditures at the absolute minimum level
necessary to sustain the current level of service to the ratepayers of Pickering.
As mentioned in last year's report, in regards to the Greater Toronto Area, we feel
Pickering is very unique: relatively no real sustainable growth, more or less, in the
middle of a growing economy arid geographic area. However, Pickering has been in
this situation for much of its life, first as a Town then as a City, in that the absence of
development of the lands to the north which has made the southern area "landlocked".
This situation has arisen as a result of the vast land holdings of the Federal and
Provincial governments and by the absence of services. This situation, while
worsening, was not really noticeable until the latter part of the 1990s. What used to be
normal 5 to 7 per cent assessment growth has first leveled off and then declined to
¡ .
Report CS 05-03
Date: March 19,2003
Subject: 2003 Current and Capital Budgets
Page 5
approximately 1 per cent in the last few years and 0.2 percent, net of write offs, in 2002.
This is virtually a "no growth" situation.
In order to sustain the City financially certain measures have been taken in successive
budgets:
1.
Operating expenditures, other than contractual increases, have been held or
reduced.
2.
The administration has been reorganized, made more efficient and more cost
effective.
3.
One time revenues have been used to offset ongoing operating costs.
4.
Capital budgets have been reduced.
5.
Contributions to reserves and reserve funds to assist in maintaining the City's
infrastructure decreased and then stopped.
6.
An increasing reliance on withdrawals from reserves and reserve funds.
7.
The increasing use of debt over the last five years to forestall tax increases.
8.
A leveling off or decrease in non-tax revenues.
The foregoing have put considerable strains on the City's financial resources. This
year's budget attempts to continue this delicate "balancing act".
Reserves and Reserve Funds
The 2003 Budgets contain continuing and unsustainable reliance upon draws from
reserves and reserve funds especially for the Parkland Reserve Fund (account #4230).
The 2002 projected year end balance for the Parkland Reserve Fund is $1.8 million.
However, the 2003 capital budget will use approximately $487,000 to fund various
capital projects such as playground equipment and therefore, the estimated 2003
yearend position for this account would be approximately $1.3 million. (In 1997 the
Parkland Reserve Fund's balance was $4.1 million.)
The External Subdivision 2003 Capital Budget, is funded primarily from two sources:
Developer contributions and a City contribut,ion/share. The City's cost for its share of
2003 capital projects is $1.1 million. Our 2003 contribution to this reserve fund is $1.0
million and therefore, the City is drawing more from this fund then it is replacing. The
large future dollar commitments. and the City's ability to fund its share of these
commitments most likely means the City will have to debt finance its contribution which
in-turn will add to the financial pressures on the organization.
.-
Report CS 05-03
Date: March 19,2003
Subject: 2003 Current and Capital Budgets
Page 6
Based upon current balances and what is known at this time, the discretionary balances
are forecasted to be reduced to zero most likely by 2005.
Debt and Debt Charqes
The current level of debt, and the resultant annual debt charges, is at a relatively high
level, especially considering this means of financing was not used before 1998. The
level of debt anticipated in the 2003 Capital Budget continues the recent trend of
increasing reliance on debt and towards higher levels of debt charges. The resultant
increase debt charges of approximately $387,000 annually will necessitate a 1.4 per
cent of increase in the 2003 Current (Operating) Budget. At current levels and
projections debt charges will represent 13 per cent of our tax levy in 2004.
For 2003, the City is planning on issuing $3,450,900 of external debt and $321,071 of
internal loans for various projects as listed in Table One.

The Year in Perspective
One must bear in mind that the 2002. Budget analysis included a forecast for a 2003
increase in property taxes of approximately 6.8 per cent and as late as last fall these
projections were still in the preliminary estimates. This winter we were faced with a
projected increase in the mid-teens. This was subsequently reduced by an intense
review of the revenues and expenses and the pending success on some assessment
appeals. .
Finally, it must be noted that the City is actually continuing to expand services with this
capital budget mainly in the areas of parks and roads. .
AiaxiPickerinq Transit Authority (APT A)
The 2003 Current and Capital Budgets for APT A include some projects for which
external grant funding has been applied for. As members of Council are aware, the
APTA bus fleet is quite old and needs to be replaced. Conventional transit buses costs
approximately $515,000 and external grant funding will be used to assist the
municipal ity in paying for the buses.
Report CS 05-03

Subject: 2003 Current and Capital Budgets

The Transit Reserve is a key component in the City's financial plan. This reserve will
be used to help offset capital related costs such as bus purchases, and will reduce the
future level of tax increases. In addition, the Transit Reserve should be viewed as a
financial security blanket from the perspective of protecting the City's 2003 financial
plan if APT A should either have a revenue shortfall or unanticipated expenditure
increases, in any given year. Recommendation 4 a), will authorize the Treasurer to
fund Pickering's share of APT A financial shortfalls from a draw from the Transit
Reserve.
Travel Reimbursement
The rate for reimbursement of expenses for travel on City business in personally owned
vehicles was adjusted in 2000 after almost a decade of no change. It was last adjusted
as part of the 2001 budget process. After the events of September 11, 2001, vehicle
insurance costs have increased considerably and gasoline costs have been eradict with
an upwards trend. In addition, vehicle costs have steadily increased. As it has been
two years since the last adjustment ¡tis now appropriate to do so. After a review of the
.formula used in 2000, an adjustment of or 4.3 cents from 43.7 cents to 48.0 cènts for
the first 5,000 km and from 40.4 cents to 41.0 cents per kilometre so travelled. This will
establish the minimum 15 percent differential between the two rates as required under
the Income Tax Act. The same percentage .increase as far as travel under 5,000
kilometre will be applied to any monthly allowance' paid. This increase, if approved,
estimated at approximately' $18,000 will be funded from the Emergency Operational
Needs Account for 2003. . .
Budqet Based on Estimates
In previous City budgets, there were very few estimates regarding revenues or
expenses as most often, they were based on facts, probable oútcomes or estimates
based upon history. Unfortunately, two major components of the 2003 budget must be
based solely on estimates. The 2003 budget assumes an additional revenue due to the
assessment appeal of $870,000. This revenue could easily be adversely impacted by
2003 Provincial and Regional taxation policy changes. In addition, other PIL revenue
as reflected in the budget can also be negatively impacted by 2003 Provincial and
Regional taxation policy decisions. The 2003 Returned Assessment Roll (used for
taxation' billing purposes) does not reflect the negotiated settlement regarding the
assessment appeal and therefore an estimate is used for the calculation of taxation
revenue.
T ax Rates
As has been the case for the last few years, the 2003 Property Tax Rates and Levy By-
Law will be presented at a later date when more information is available from the
Province and the Region has decided upon the tax policies of the day.
Report CS 05-03
Date: March 19, 2003
Subject: 2003 Current and Capital Budgets
Page 9
Last year, the City was able to absorb on a short-term basis the loss of revenue due to
Provincial and Regional Governments taxation policy changes. Unfortunately, this year,
the City has limited financial flexibility and is therefore unable to offset any anticipated
revenue losses due to 2003 tax policy decisions. With the City being in a limited
assessment growth scenario, our ability to absorb these revenue losses through
supplementary property taxes does not exist. Therefore, Recommendation 5 will allow
the Treasurer to make any adjustments to the 2003 proposed Total Tax Levy to reflect
senior government tax policy decisions
Strateqic Financial Plan
The cumulative effects of several years of deferring expenditures and an increasingly
aging infrastructure have resulted in unmanageable levels of forecasted capital
requirements. As a result the Chief Administrative Officer and Treasurer will be
reviewing all servicing requirements, projects and financing demands for the next five
years with particular emphasis on the next three years. The objective is to develop a
Strategic Financial Plan for the maintenance of the City's infrastructure, the provision of
necessary services and the financing necessary to accommodate these goals. In order
for the Strategic Financial Plan to be complete and viable, staff will require the
cooperation of APT A and the Library. The planning for the financial health of the city is
paramount to all especially over the forthcoming years. Undertaking this exercise is
absolutely necessary - there are no alternatives as sufficient funds must be available to
operate and maintain core activities and facilities.
Different from recent years' annual budgets the 2003 Current and Capital Budgets do
not include a forecast or estimate of the budgets and financial picture for the City of
Pickering. Instead, the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer at the Council budget
meeting of February 27, 2003, provided a preliminary 2004 budget range between
12.50 to 14.50 percent. (This slide is attached for your information). There are several
reasons, as to why a range is provided in contrast to a more definitive budget number,
the main one being that staff wish to prepare a complete picture as possible of the next
few years for presentation to the new Council, most likely in early 2004. This will take
the efforts of the CAO, the Treasurer and other staff time to prepare over the next
while. .
The financial position of the City of Pickering continues in a rather precarious state with
increases in debt and loan charges, level or declining revenues resulting in ongoing
property tax increases as indicated on the attached schedules.
Departure from the financial plan put forth in prior year's documents and the 2003
Budgets will most likely have severe negative impacts on future years budgets, perhaps
as early as 2004 but certainly no later than 2005. If we are able to "stay the course"
and find new revenues for 2004 and 2005 hopefully budgetary increases will level off.
Staff will continue to explore new revenue streams and maximize current revenues
where possible. For the City of Pickering, the maximization of property tax revenue for
