Executive Summary: This report contains a summary of the 2019 Current and
Capital Budgets and a discussion of the recommendations.
Financial Implications: The 2019 Current and Capital Budgets, if adopted as
amended, will result in a property tax levy increase of 2.47% (City Share Only) over last
year which translates into a 0.75% increase in the City's share of the total property tax
bill.
This increase, when combined with the Region and the School Boards increase, results
in an average increase of 1.96% on the total property tax bill. This excludes any property
tax shifts due to reassessment and potential Provincial tax policy changes. Any changes
as a result of Provincial tax policy changes will be adjusted in the calculation of the final
tax rates.
Discussion: The recommendations put forth are those necessary to adopt and
provide authority and direction for the 2019 Current and Capital Budgets for the City of
Pickering.
Explanation of Key Recommendations
Casino Revenue Sharing Negotiation Principle with Durham Region -
Recommendation 2
The City of Pickering offers low income seniors and persons with disabilities a property
tax relief program. This program is very successful and in 2018, 191 individuals received
the $300 grant from the City. (For 2019, the grant is being increased to $330.)
Report FIN 02-19
Subject: 2019 Current and Capital Budget
February 25, 2019
Page 11
The Regional Municipality of Durham does not offer a similar program. The Region
offers the Provincial mandated program that provides property tax relief in the form of a
property tax deferral for assessment related increases that are in excess of the first 5%
or $100 whichever is greater. ·
The City of Pickering has adopted a position that it would stiare up to 30% of its casino
revenues for the general purpose of providing affordable housing. The details of the
agreement still need to be finalized with Durham Region staff and the agreement would
require Pickering council approval.
The focus on funding affordable housing is in direct response to addressing a community
need to provide affordable and safe housing that all people deserve. Keeping individuals
in their homes is directly related to the City's initiative of assisting in addressing the
affordable housing issue. If we do not help these seniors and persons with disabilities,
they may have to sell their home that indirectly puts pressure on the affordable housing
supply. The individuals who benefit from the City program would probably welcome the
financial assistance for the Regional share of property taxes that represents 55% of their
total residential property tax bill.
Recommendation 2 is also innovative from the perspective that it starts the conversation
with Regional staff that a "one size fits" all grant program based on property taxes is not
fair to those municipalities that pay a higher percentage of the Regional residential tax
bill. A home in Pickering has a higher assessment value in comparison to a similar home
located in the eastern part of the Region and therefore, it pays a higher amount in
property taxes. If a Pickering home pays $1,000 in Regional taxes and a home located
in Durham east pays $800, a grant that provides $200 would provide a lower percentage
of property tax relief to the Pickering property tax owner. Pickering's proposal is firmly
rooted in the principle of fairness. If you pay more in property taxes than your Durham
east neighbour, you would expect to receive a higher dollar amount of property tax
subsidy.
Establishment of Reserves Due to Naming Rights/Marketing Revenues -
Recommendation 3
Over the past year, City staff working with the outside consultant have been successful in
obtaining additional revenues through selling of facility naming and marketing rights. The
purpose of recommendation three is to ensure that these funds are applied to a capital
facility project and not used for general operating costs.
Playground Capital Project Switch -Recommendation 5 h)
This recommendation defers parks capital projects: Village Green Seaton P-110
(5780.1905) and Village Green Seaton P-111 (5780.1906) to 2020 and replaces them
with the Jackson Green Playground Equipment (5780.2004) project that was in the 2020
forecast. The Jackson Green Playground Equipment project will be financed from the
Parkland Reserve Fund.
Report FIN 02-19
Subject: 2019 Current and Capital Budget
February 25, 2019
Page 12
Due to higher density being approved in Duffin Heights on the east side and the fact that
only one park in the area has playground equipment, the community has requested
additional playground equipment in Jackson Green (one of the Village Greens in Duffin
Heights) that will benefit the youth in the community. The two parks projects that will be
deferred to 2020 are no longer achievable in 2019 as the developer has not progressed
as far as anticipated with their development.
Cancellation of Capital Projects -Recommendation 12
The capital projects listed in recommendation 12, in the majority of situations have been
re-budgeted in the 2019 capital budget due to the fact the original budget amount is too
low due to the project delay. In most cases, by re-budgeting a higher amount, the project
can proceed without staff either reducing the project's scope to address the funding
shortfall or trying to find additional funds to cover the project's shortfall. In other cases,
the projects cancelled were dependent on senior government grant funding which was
not received.
Establishment of Museum Reserve -Recommendation 19
The purpose of this reserve is to ensure that there are adequate funds available to meet
the financial needs of the collection. A museum's collection is the most important
component of a museum and having the financial strength to invest in the museum
collection will help keep the museum vibrant and relevant.
Two New Positions on Hold -Recommendation 20
These two positions (Manager Arts Centre and Senior Economic Development Officer)
are on hold pending a further report to Council. The Civic Centre business case is
currently forecast to go to Council in April and if Council "green lights the project," one of
the recommendations would be for Council to approve filling this position. For the June
Council meeting, a report will be prepared providing Council with the business case and
supporting rationale to proceed with hiring of the Senior Economic Development
position.
Pickering City Centre Stormwater Management Strategy Update -
Recommendation 25
The Municipal Infrastructure Group (TMIG) were first retained by the City in November
2012 to undertake the Pickering City Centre Stormwater Management (SWM) Strategy
corresponding to the vision for the Pickering City Centre. The SWM Strategy was
finalized in 2015, in conjunction with the Krosno Creek Flood Reduction Study
Environmental Assessment (EA) and the specialized dual drainage PCSWMM model,
analyses, and recommendations of that Study were applied and considered in the
development of the SWM Strategy for the Pickering City Centre.
The SWM Strategy established the required SWM criteria for redevelopment with the
Pickering City Centre. It also recommended site specific criteria that any redevelopment
in the flood storage area of the south parking lot of the Pickering Town Centre (PTC)
Report FIN 02-19
Subject: 2019 Current and Capital Budget
February 25, 2019
Page 13
preserve the existing flood storage volume on the site, and that new development in the
existing flood storage area be adequately flood proofed.
Following the completion of the EA Study, TMIG were retained in 2015 to undertake the
detailed design of the culvert replacements and erosion control for Krosno Creek, south
of Highway 401. That design work is complete, with construction of those works
anticipated during the winter of 2019-2020.
In 2017, the City again contracted TMIG to update the PCSWMM model with more
detailed topographic survey information of the south parking lot of th.e PTC, in an effort to
more accurately characterize the ponding levels and volumes that occur in the flood
storage area. This work was also utilized by the City during the appeal of the City Centre
Zoning By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board (0MB) by OPB Realty Inc., .the owners of
the PTC. In the Minutes of Settlement for that 0MB appeal, the City agreed to explore
the feasible technical options for works upstream that would mitigate or resolve the need
for the flood storage on the PTC Lands.
Given the joint venture with OPB Realty Inc., CAPREIT and the City for the City Centre
Project, the time is appropriate to initiate the feasibility analysis identified in the 0MB
Settlement, in order to explore if the flood storage can be relocated or reduced, as it is
anticipated that future phases of redevelopment will likely impact the existing flood
storage area, along with the desire to relocate the City's trunk storm sewer that traverses
the PTC site. The SWM Strategy should be reexamined, updated and refined to
determine the best means of integrating the flood storage into the redevelopment of the
PTC lands and/or relocating the flood storage elsewhere.
Engineering Services staff requested a fee proposal from TMIG for this consulting
assignment due to their extensive project history with the Krosno Creek Flood Reduction
Study, the Pickering City Centre SWM Strategy, their knowledge and expertise, and on
the basis that good value and significant time savings would be achieved since they have
all the background information from the previous assignments.
Staff are recommending Council approval of the fee proposal submitted by The Municipal
Infrastructure Group Ltd. for Consulting and Professional Services for the Pickering City
Centre Stormwater Management Strategy Update and Feasibility.Analysis in the amount
$133,240 (HST included). It is also recommended that a net project cost of $249,156 (net
of HST rebate) be approved. ·
Financial Goals for Current Term of Office -Recommendations 28 a) and b)
Internal loans are financed from City's excess funds and for Pickering the major source -
of these funds is development charges. With the City now entering an extended growth
period, the City is going to need these DC dollars to pay for the growth related capital
projects as identified in the 2018 Development Charges Study. Therefore, the City has
to start increasing the funding to the various reserves to reduce the City's use of DC
dollars.
Report FIN 02-19
Subject: 2019 Current and Capital Budget
February 25, 2019

Every municipality in Ontario is trying to address their infrastructure funding gap by
increasing their annual reserve contributions. As a significant first step, staff are
recommending that the annual contributions for the vehicles, parks and major equipment
reserves be increased to match the annual amortization expense by 2022. To reach that
goal in 2019, the annual contribution would have to be increased by $1.6 million or the
budget levy increased from 2.47% to 5.0%.
Changes to the Community Grants Policy -Recommendation 29
Staff are proposing a few minor modifications to the grants policy based on our
experience to-date and to improve the program from the perspective of benefiting the
Pickering volunteer community. By helping volunteer groups, the City by default is
helping its residents.
In 2015, the City revised the community grants program to a more formalized application
process. This process is working well and there are several new volunteer groups now
receiving funds to serve their Pickering constituency. However, during this time, staff
have observed that there is a need to have an option available to provide volunteer
groups the opportunity to secure some dollars who may have missed the application
deadline for various reasons. Recommendation 29 e), establishes a vehicle for the City
to provide some funding dollars and still maintain the integrity of the grant process. In
other words, staff did not want to create a system that rewards groups that bypass the
established process. Key components of this new process are: a group can only use
this option once during Council's term; their application must comply with the City's
grants policy criteria and the dollar amount is capped at $250. It is staff's intent to report
on the use of this option as part of the annual budget process.
Additional Veridian Dividends -Recommendation 31
It is staff's understanding that the merger between Veridian and Whitby Hydro will occur
by at least the second quarter of this year or may be sooner. There may be a special
dividend declared and recommendation 31 is allocating any of the additional dollars to
the roads and bridges reserve fund.
Reporting of Outstanding Capital Projects -Recommendation 34
As directed at the Executive Committee Budget meeting, staff will report on all
outstanding capital projects valued at $100,000 or more. This report will be based on all
activity to date as of July 31 st and December 31 st. The July 31 st date represents five
months of activity past the budget approval date and should give staff sufficient time to
address capital projects that were approved in the 2019 Capital budget. The reports will
be based on the standard of a Purchase Order (PO) issuance. A PO represents that all
of the staff work to initiate the project has been completed. At this stage the remaining
work is with the vendor with staff oversight. In other words, the first report of the year will
provide a list of all outstandin_g capital projects as of July 31 st including prior years' and
Report FIN 02-19
Subject: 2019 Current and Capital Budget

Page 15
the 2019 Capital budget. An outstanding project is defined as a project that has not been
issued a PO.
Changes to the Fee Structure for Seniors Snow Removal -Recommendation 36 b)
For the 2019 budget, the cost for the seniors' snow removal and persons with disabilities
program increased from $126,000 to $315,000-an increase of 150%. The increased
cost is reflection of the higher third party contract price and expansion of the program
from 425 places to 500. When the program was first conceived, the theory was to help
seniors/persons with disabilities with basic snow removal who were in need of this
service. In many situations there was either no reliable young person to undertake the
activity and or the "for profit cost" was prohibitive. Staff have conducted an informal
investigation and some "for profit" companies charge $125 per month with a payment
commitment of five months.
Staff are proposing to revise the program from the perspective of matching the need to
those individuals who may have a financial challenge to afford the private sector option.
The revised user fee structure is based on the Federal Government's Old Age Security
(OAS) clawback strategy. From an administrative perspective, staff do not anticipate any
problems or difficulties due to the fact staff will use the Revenue Canada's Notice of
Assessment document that individuals receive when they file their income tax. The "Net
Income" line is identified in the Notice of Assessment and staff will use this figure to
determine program eligibility and the corresponding fee. · 1f individuals do not file their
income tax, they will automatically be disqualified from the program.
2019 Current Budget
At the February 26, 2018 Council meeting, a resolution was adopted by Council where
the base budget levy would be capped at 2.20%.
At the February 14, 2019 Executive (Budget) Committee meeting, Council was presented
with a proposed budget levy increase of 2.47%, which was accepted by the Executive
Committee. Based on an average assessment of $463,908, the 2.47% increase
(excluding the impact of reassessment) will result in an average increase of
approximately $39.99 per year or 77 cents per week for the average residential dwelling
in Pickering. Unlike goods purchased by consumers where there is a tangible product
that is received each time there is a transaction, many City services provided to residents
such as park or road maintenance are not paid for as the services are used or received.
For this reason, many residents, may not be aware of the costs associated with the vast
array of services offered by the City. The Chart below shows a breakdown of the cost of
services that make up the average City share tax bill of $1,660 (based on an assessment
of $463,908).

Tax Increase Summary .
The 2.47% City share tax increase translates into an increase of 0.75% on the total
residential tax bill. The 2.47% levy increase comp·ares favourably to other municipalities,
especially when one considers that Pickering has had the lowest tax rate among its
Durham Region Lakeshore neighbours for over eighteen years (1998 up to 2016).
Adding the Region's (2.20%) tax increase and Pickering's (2.47%) and the School
Board's estimated 0% increase, the total increase for the average residential ratepayer
will be approximately 1.96%.
In 2000, Pickering Council approved a zero percent levy increase and since then, budget
levy increases have ranged from 9.8% to 2.93%. As the Chart below shows, the 2.47%
levy increase is the lowest increase the City has had over the last nineteen years.

This is the third year of the Province's four year reassessment cycle. Assessment-
related increases are phased-in over four years, and assessment-related decreases are
implemented immediately. The City does not receive any additional revenue as a result
of reassessment. The corresponding property tax rates are adjusted for the increase in
reassessment values to create an overall property tax neutral position on a total property
class basis. Inevitably, when there is an overall change in assessment values, there is
shifting of the property tax burden among property classes, and as well among individual
property owners within each property class.
The impact on the individual homeowner is based on their specific reassessment
increase, relative to the City-wide average of 6.52%, shown in the Table below.
There are also assessment-related tax shifts for the Region and Education. These
impacts will be based on the average reassessment increases on a Region-wide basis
and for Education on a Province-wide basis.

At its core, the municipal budget is a projection of inflows and outflows for the coming
year. Due to the timing of the budget preparation and approval, many of these
projections need to be made with less than perfect information. In addition, these
projections need to consider future events and circumstances that are often beyond the
City's control. Therefore, as with any budget, there are risk factors associated with the
draft 2019 City of Pickering budget being presented at the Executive (Budget) Committee
meeting. The following is a list of some of the most important risks and rel1:1ted mitigating
measures.
A Fuel costs continue to be volatile over the last few years. The 2019 fuel budget
includes an increase ($58,715) to better reflect 2018 actual fuel costs and potential
fuel price increases in 2019. There is always a risk that a global crisis may increase
fuel costs in the future. The possibility of fuel prices being volatile during 2019 is high,
and the cost risk will be accommodated through the General Government
contingency account.
B During the last few years, there has been no predictable weather pattern for winter
control activity/costs. The 2014 and the first half of the 2015 winter season was one of
the worst on record. The 2019 winter control budget is based on December and the
· first three weeks of January and therefore, the 2019 Winter Control budget includes a
small increase ($5,000 If the current winter weather pattern changes, any additional
cost pressures would be absorbed either through the Winter Control Reserve
($700,000) or through the General Government contingency account.
. C The City is able to retain the Education share of the Payment-in-Lieu (PIL) property
taxes for federal, provincial and regional properties located in the City. The largest
properties are: OPG nuclear plant, Hydro One transformer station, the airport lands
and the water pollution control plant. The Province has not released any information
regarding the 2019 education rates and therefore, there is a possibility that the PIL
revenue may not reach its 2019 budget target. Any significant revenue loss will be
adjusted through the 2019 property tax rate report.
D Budgets prepared early in the year are based on information that was available in
December of last year. This has the potential to generate greater budget variances
that might otherwise be experienced. In addition, the two senior levels of government
(Federal and Provincial) have not yet released their 2019 budgets. There is a
possibility of a positive or negative impact on the City based on the budget actions of
the senior levels of government.

E General inflationary pressures that may continue to increase as the economy
continues to improve. The likelihood of this risk materializing is rated as possible; the
likely impact of the consequences is rated as moderate. The first signs of general
inflationary pressures will probably be reflected in capital tender awards in March and
April.
F The outlook for the global economy has darkened. Global financing conditions have
tightened, industrial production has moderated, trade tensions remain elevated and
some large emerging market and developing economies have experienced significant
financial market stress. In the British and European newspapers, Brexit with the
FIXED exit date of March 2019 now appears to be a major concern. A bitter Brexit
divorce may have global economy impacts
Today, it is not surprising to read or hear financial experts mention the "R" word
(recession). The last recession occurred in 2008 and the general rule of thumb is that
there is an economic slowdown or recession every eight to ten years. It appears, we
are now due for a financial downturn. -For 2019, the local economic story will be
dominated by the closing of GM and its feeder plants. Pickering's geographical
position will partially shield the City from the effect of GM's closure.
The City is increasingly exposed to risk from a fluctuating US/CAN dollar exchange rate.
Pickering is moving into a period of capital growth construction with planned multi-million
dollar projects and fleet expansion. Many of the products are purchased from US
manufacturers. Even products made in Canada have significant percentage of
components from the US. The risk to our forecasts capital budgets is more significant
due to the high value of projects we have in the five year forecast.
2019 Challenges and Opportunities
Outstanding Assessment Appeals
There is currently $5.5 billion in outstanding assessment appeals for the commercial
and industrial property tax class for the City. These are multi-year appeals that range
from 2009 up to 2019. The largest dollar value of assessment appeals outstanding are
with the Pickering Town Centre or PTC. However, most mall owners in Ontario have
appealed their property's assessment values partially due to the effects of online
shopping and its impact on mall traffic and corresponding sales. The outstanding
appeals go back six years and there may be some financial costs (property tax
reimbursement) to the City.
These appeals are mostly for large commercial and industrial properties with complex
valuations that often have interests from multiple parties. The schedules are set by the
· ARB and appeals can take years to resolve. Unfortunately, the majority of these appeals
were not resolved in 2018. Therefore, these appeals are automatically deemed
outstanding for the 2019 taxation year. Every year these appeals remain outstanding,
the settlement cost increases, creating additional financial risk to the Corporation.
For the last few years, staff have budgeted for the outstanding commercial and industrial
Report FIN 02-19
Subject: 2019 Current and Capital Budget
February 25, 2019 ·
Page 20
appeals and any funds remaining from these prior years has accrued to fund anticipated
settlements in 2019. If the budget provisions are insufficient to fund the reductions, the
City would draw on the Assessment Appeal reserve to fund any shortfall.
2019 User Fees and Charges Schedule
· Every year, the City reviews its user fees, mainly for various recreational and cultural
programs, to partially reflect the cost of delivering these programs. Council passed
Resolution# 149/03 confirming the City's existing user fees through a specific by-law.
This By-law has been updated as part of each year's budget process. Other fees have
been introduced to address industry trends and their associated costs.
The basic theory of user fees is to recover the cost of a service from an individual that is
directly benefitting from that service. User fees promote efficient allocation of municipal
resources because direct benefit recipients pay for the service they consume. The City of
Toronto has adopted the philosophy that "it should charge full cost, without subsidy, for
any service that delivers a direct benefit to individuals". If user fees don't recover the full
cost of providing the service, by default, the property tax payer indirectly subsidizes the
user.
Debt Payments and Debt Financing of Capital Projects
The 2019 current budget includes $4.8 million of taxpayer funder debt charges (interest
and principal.) The taxpayer funded debt charges represent 7 .2% of the 2019 property
taxes levied. In other words, for.every dollar collected -seven cents is applied to debt
charges. In 2017, the Development Charges Operations Centre Reserve Fund borrowed
$9.2 million to meet the fund.ing requirements for the new Operations Centre located on
Clements Road. The principal and interest payments associated with this debt is
$676,000 and is funded from DC payments of which the majority will be from Seaton
development. The 2018 DC Background Study captured all of the interest and principal
payment cost associated with this debt and these costs are reflected in the DC rates.
The Current budget book section (Appendix A) includes a summary of the outstanding
debt as of December 31, 2019. A high level summary of the City's debt is presented

Property tax funded debt charges are forecast to increase by $870,700 in 2020 or 1.3%
increase to the budget levy. Council has the ability to control the increase of future debt
charges by either deferring or delaying debt financed projects. In addition, senior level
government grant announcements may also have an impact on the rise and slope of the
debt forecast line. The 2020 preliminary b1.1dget strategy is to have assessment growth
fund the increase in debt charges.
Debt Level and Provincial Guidelines
In 2013, Council adopted a debt level standard where the City capped its debt payments
at 15% of the total taxation revenue. The debt capacity used for 2019 is estimated to be
around 8.58% for all debt (tax debt and DC Debt) which is below the 15% cap and well
below the 25% Provincial limit. Chart Four provides a summary of the City's projected
debt charges in relation to the City's 15% cap rule.

government grant funding can also have a major impact on the amount of debt financing
in the future.

Borrowing or debt financing should not be viewed as a negative. The proper use of debt
is an essential component of prudent fiscal strategy. The use of debt promotes
intergenerational equity. By borrowing, Pickering can distribute the cost of the asset over
the lifetime of the asset. Pickering should take advantage of current low interest rates
but balance its use so that the City does not overextend itself beyond the 15% cap.
2019 Tax Rates
As has been the case for the last few years, the 2019 Property Tax rates and
corresponding levy By-law will be presented to Council after the City has received the
education tax rates from the Province.
2019 Capital Budget
This year, the draft Capital Budget is $77 million. The major capital projects.are:
Pickering Heritage & Community·Centre Construction ($18.9 m); Krosno Creek Culvert
Replacement ($4.8 m); Sandy Beach Rd. Reconstruction Phase 1 ($2.0 m) and Krosno
Creek Storm Water Management Facility ($1.3 m) and many road resurfacing projects.
Included in the 2019 capital budget is $2.0 million for the Civic Centre project. These
dollars are for professional consulting ($500,000) mainly for legal and finance expertise
to develop the business case and to review the complex legal documents. At a
minimum, the Civic Centre project would probably have a 50 year life span. To put the
project's life span into a historical context, you are sitting in Pickering in 1969 and you're
telling an individual that GM in Oshawa would be closing its doors in 2019 and Sears
Canada would go bankrupt (2018). As stated above, history tells us that we should
expect the unexpected and that unanticipated change is a strong possibility. The key
message for the City is to structure the legal agreements so that the City is protected as
much as possible from these unanticipated events. Pension fund companies buy and
sell malls as investments to protect their members from the fluctuations of the stock and
bond markets. Any legal agreement that the City enters has to protect the City from a
change in mall direction due to any future change in ownership.
Staff's preliminary discussion with PTC executives indicates that the City may have to
contribute up to $1.5. million in 2019 to help fund design and other costs. In April, staff
will be bringing a report outlining the business case for the Civic Centre project and for
Council to decide either to proceed or cancel the project/business relationship.

The City share cost will be funded through either, reserves, development charges and or
debt. If the City does not receive any senior government grant funding, the project will
not proceed in 2019. However, it is staff's intent to reintroduce these projects in the 2020
capital budget for Council's consideration. Without grant funding, the City would have to
use debt financing and this additional cost will be addressed through a special levy. To
replace the grant funding for all three projects, the 2020 budget levy would have to be
increased by 1.53%.
If the City does not receive any senior government grants, there is a possibility of
receiving secondary grant funding related to accessibility funding. The opportunities
related to accessibility grant funding are presented below.

In the past, the Federal Government's accessibility funding was limited to 33% of the
project's cost. However, the Federal Government share would still be beneficial to the
City.
Implementation of "E Fleet Strategy for Cars and SUV's.
In 2018, the City purchased its first all-Electric Vehicle (EV) (Chevrolet Bolt) and plug-in
hybrid electric SUV vehicle (Mitsubishi Outlander). This pilot project provided an
opportunity for staff to monitor the performance of these vehicles while reducing
associated fuel consumption and ccarbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Carbon dioxide
(CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through the incomplete burning of fossil
fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil). Based on the data collected during the monitoring
period, positive results were achieved through substantial annual fuel costs which are
displayed in the chart below.

Also, the table below reflects total cost savings and CO2 emission reductions over a 7
year period.

Total Reduction CO2 45,961 kg 35,224 kg Emissions
Total Savings $14,165.73 $12,944.66
Note: These savings are relative to an equivalent purchase of a gasoline-powered
vehicle.
From the monitoring results above, there are justification to consider replacing all small
gasoline powered vehicles with electric vehicles. Using the information from our 2019
capital budget and forecast, it was determined that it would take 7 years beginning in
2019 and ending in 2025 to replace the smaller vehicles as follows:
Year 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025
No. of 3 4 4. 5 5 5 4
Vehicles
The 2019 capital budget starts the City journey that over seven years will result in
the City replacing all small gasoline -powered vehicles with electric vehicles. This
Strategy does not include medium to large gasoline or diesel vehicles such as pickup
trucks. Staff will monitor the marketplace for the release of large EV vehicles. As EV
pickups and larger truck models become available from established manufacturers, staff
will undertake its due diligence on all purchases to ensure City's requirements are met
and benefits realized. Staff have consulted with other municipalities who have similar
fleet programs and their experience indicates that EV purchases are sustainable and
economically viable.

As part of the pilot project, the City received a government grant for the installation of
four electric vehicle charging stations, which were installed at the Civic Complex
Underground Parking. Moreover, additional charging stations will be required to
accommodate the expansion of the EV fleet. Also, the electrical vehicles have been
programmed to only charge up during off-peak hours to take advantage of the reduced
hydro rates.
2020 -2023 Capital Forecast
Included in the capital budget book is the City's 2020 -2023 Capital Forecast which
outlines the City's current financial plan. Provided below is a breakdown of the various
funding sources related to the capital forecast.
Draft 2019 Budget and 2020-2023 Capital Plan ($M)
2019 2020-2022 %
Budget Planned Total
Amount Amount Total Funding
Development Charges $12.2 $114.2 $126.4 38.44

Federal Gas Tax 3.2 12.2 15.4 4.68
Capital from Taxation ___D _g ____Q_,Q 1.98
$76.8 $252.0 $328.8
As shown above, the City is relying on a substantial level of development charge funding
for the City's future capital needs. There are rumors that the Province may be reducing
Development Charges as part of its affordable housing strategy, and by default these
costs would have to be either shifted to the property taxpayer or the project's scope
reduced.
2020 Budget Timetable
After the 2019 budget has been approved by Council, the senior finance staff team
related to the budget process is then deployed to assist in wrapping up the 2018 fiscal
year end accounting activities. When the year end process is completed, basically the
entire senior finance team will be involved with the implementation of the new financial
system. With a go live date of January 2 nd , 2020, finance staff will be \'Jorking around the
clock for the last two to three months to have the financial system ready for the go live
date. Therefore, the 2020 budget should be delayed until March or April of next year.
However, staff would still seek pre-budget approval for traditional capital expenditures
such as roads resurfacing to ensure that the project is completed during the spring or
early summer. Deferring the 2020 budget by one or two months also creates the
opportunity for the city to have a few more months of experience as it relates to casino
revenues and corresponding revenue projections.
