Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020
Subject: 2020 Current and Capital Budget Page 10
Executive Summary: This report contains a summary of the 2020 Current and
Capital Budgets and a discussion of the recommendations. Staff have worked hard to
ensure that the 2020 Budget is respectful of each dollar contributed by taxpayers,
reinvesting those revenues back into our infrastructure and the many services the City
provides to our residents. The big differences between municipal government and federal
and provincial governments are the number of revenue streams that fund their budgets
and the impact on residents. Municipal governments have limited revenue, consisting
primarily of property taxes and service fees, such as for recreation, by-law and planning.
The 2020 Budget strikes a balance between providing the level and types of services that
residents expect and ensuring affordability for all residents.
The 2020 Budget builds upon the success of the 2019 Budget and continues to be a good
news story. It keeps property taxes affordable and provides the following benefits to our
residents and community:
• Increase in seniors property tax grant from $330 to $375.
• Major 2020 Capital Projects: Animal Shelter, New Seaton Fire Station and
renovations to the Recreation Complex lobby and core.
• Increase in Capital Budget roads projects expenditures from $1,910,000 to
$4,676,000 - an increase of $2.7 million or 142.1 percent.
• Strengthening By-law enforcement by additional staffing resources.
• Includes service level increases for the following areas: George Ashe Library Sunday
hours; enhanced service levels for winter control, roads and parks.
• Includes additional staffing to meet the needs of a growing Seaton community.
• An increase of 3 positions for front line firefighting staff.
• Includes funding for "Automated Speed Enforcement".
In addition to the above budget highlights, the 2020 Budget also includes funding for the
City Centre project that will be mainly funded from casino revenues. It should also be
noted that through several City grant initiatives such as community and seniors property
tax grant, the City's financial "Giving is the equivalent to 0.61 percent of the levy. The
chart below provides a comparison of 2019 and 2020.

Pickering's "giving", indirectly makes the community stronger by enhancing the quality of
life.
Financial Implications: The 2020 Current and Capital Budgets, if adopted as
amended, will result in a property tax levy increase of 2.99 percent (City Share Only)
over last year which translates into a 0.91 percent 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 2.25 percent 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 2020 Current and Capital Budgets for the City of
Pickering.
Explanation of Key Recommendations
Casino Revenue Sharing Negotiation Principles with Durham Region —
Recommendation 2
The City Centre project is a transformative project that will define the City's downtown
and address a facilities level deficiency for a growing City. The current financial plan
Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020
Subject: 2020 Current and Capital Budget Page 12
does not anticipate asking residents current or future to pay for construction costs
through higher property taxes. A key financial aspect of the project is that the project cost
will be funded from development charges/Community Benefit Charge (CBC) through
annual development fees and casino revenues paying the remaining share. The casino
revenues for this project are positioned to be a financial "safety net" to address any
possible shortfall in DC or CBC funding. In order to implement this strategy and to reduce
financial risk, it is imperative that the City annually retain 100 percent of the first $10.0
million in casino revenues. Under this strategy, the $10.0 million would meet the City's
financial obligations and be sufficient to address any CBC or DC funding shortfall.
Adopting this strategy reduces the project's financial risk to a low or acceptable level.
Informal "off the record conversations" with industry experts have indicated that the City's
casino revenues should be substantially higher than $10.0 million per year and these
funds in excess of $10.0 million will be shared with the Region. Staff believe that a cap of
$6.0 million per year provides the Region with "fair level of funding" taking into
consideration the Regional share of annual property taxes and the paid development
fees.
The City of Pickering offers low income seniors and persons with disabilities a property
tax relief program. This program is very successful and in 2019, 212 individuals received
the $330 grant from the City (for 2020 the grant is being increased to $375).
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
percent or $100 whichever is greater. Recommendation 2 c) will be addressed later in
this report.
Automated Speed Enforcement ($150,000) — Recommendation 3 e) ii)
The more common name for this item is "photo radar". The Province passed new
legislation in December allowing municipalities to use the cameras and issue tickets to
the owners of cars caught speeding on camera. Provincial rules require municipalities to
give drivers three months' warning posting signs letting people know that a speed
camera will be set up in a particular spot. The current legislation allow the cameras in
school zones and community safety zones where the speed limit is below 80km/h.
Community safety zones are designated sections of road where the safety is a particular
concern: near schools, daycare centres, playgrounds, parks, hospitals, seniors'
residences or areas where there are lots of collisions.
These cameras would serve several purposes: they would catch and ticket speeders,
they would deter other drivers from speeding and they would send an important message
of safety. Speed and aggressive driving are usually key contributing major factors in
pedestrian injuries or traffic accidents. The research in this area is definitive: slower
speeds reduces the rate of accidents. If drivers obey the speed limit there is no cost to
the driver.
Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020
Subject: 2020 Current and Capital Budget Page 13
Service Level Increase for Winter Control, Roads & Park Maintenance ($510,000) —
Recommendation 3 e) ii)
As per report CS 31-19, the increased staffing resources will provide an enhanced level
of service for winter control on roads, sidewalks and multiuse trails. These
enhancements include faster response/completion times and more continuous
operations during significant snow events by increasing the number of staff on standby to
provide winter control; quicker turnaround times to service vehicles and plow equipment
and return them to the road by introducing an afternoon shift in the municipal garage; and
maximizing GPS/AVL and Public Facing Portal technologies in order to more efficiently
deploy staff, measure results and make strategic improvements by introducing an
additional Lead Hand and Supervisor, Public Works.
Cancellation of Capital Projects — Recommendation 11
The capital projects listed in Recommendation 11 in many cases have been rebudgeted
in the 2020 Capital Budget or included in the 2021-2024 Capital Forecast due to the fact
the original budget amount was too low due to the project delay. In most cases, by
rebudgeting 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 or deferred were dependent

Change in Specifications for Replacement for Health Club Equipment —
Recommendation 12
The approved 2019 Capital Budget included $45,000 for replacement of Health Club
equipment (5731.1904.6178) at the Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Centre
(CHDRC) to be funded from the Recreation Complex Core Surcharge Reserve (7034).
City Recreation staff are now requesting that the equipment specifications be slightly
changed from what was approved in the 2019 Capital Budget. The total project cost of
$45,000 and the funding source would remain the same. The reason for the change is
due to the upcoming renovations to the Health Club as the City's vision and equipment
forecast for the new Health Club space has changed. The City's focus for 2020 is now on
the replacement of older cardio pieces of fitness equipment in preparation for the launch
of the CHDRC's new Health Club space.
CAPES Grant — Recommendation 19
The City received communication on Friday, February 14th that it was successful in
obtaining grant funding under the CAPES program. The grant program focuses on an
important national priority to counteract ageism in the workplace and to promote senior
engagement in the community with opportunities in employment, volunteering,
mentoring, and new intergenerational programs. Volunteers are in demand to fill gaps in
provision of services providing transportation to program locations, knowledge sharing,
mentoring, and educational and social support. The labor market requires senior
individuals with experience and business maturity to help fill a gap in business sectors.
Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020

The City of Pickering and the Pickering Public Library will partner to address the need to
improve the health of our senior community in isolation, as well as providing education to
seniors to combat the ageism barrier.
The grant funds will be used for event days and speakers, engagement fair in October,
production of a document including employment contacts and volunteer opportunities.
Budget Reporting Requirement for Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment or FFE for New
Facilities — Recommendation 21
Subsection 286.1d) of the Municipal Act states that the Treasurer is responsible for
"maintaining accurate records and accounts for the financial affairs of the municipality".
The Financial Control Policy as approved by Council under subsection 02.04 b) states
that the Treasurer is to maintain the proper financial controls and procedure guidelines to
ensure accountability in the matters of finance and related administration. The current
established practice of budgeting a large dollar amount under the one -line description of
FFE does not meet the legislative requirements of the Municipal Act or the Financial
Control Policy. Recommendation 21 is amending the Financial Control Policy to now
require that a detailed breakdown of FFE expenditures be provided to meet reporting
requirements. In addition, the detailed reporting requirement will also facilitate capital
asset reporting due to the fact only capital expenditures should be listed under FFE.
Previously, both current and capital expenditures were charged to the same capital
account requiring accounting staff to "journalize" the non -capital expenses to the current
accounts.
William Jackson Drive — Recommendation 24
The developer is responsible to construct all roads within the development that are
classified as "local roads" at the developers cost. As William Jackson Drive is classified
as a collector road, the road is built to a wider cross section. The additional cost to
oversize the road to a collector road is identified in the Development Charges Study and
is funded through Development Charges. Recommendation 24 provides staff the
authority to pay the invoice.
Kubota Lands within the Pickering Innovation Corridor — Recommendation 25
In May of 2018, Council approved the hiring of Sabourin Kimble & Associates (SKA) for
the Municipal Services Design for the Kubota lands within the Pickering Innovation
Corridor (Report CAO 04-18) for the amount of $590,000. In February 2019, Council
approved the increase to $860,000.00 due to the change of scope of work for the Kubota
lands. With the increase in activity within the Innovation Corridor, the scope of work for
SKA has been revised to include the additional work required as part of the Municipal
Services Design for the Pickering Innovation Corridor. The increase in budget reflects
additional work required for the project management, detailed engineering,
environmental, electrical, surveying, geotechnical and landscaping work required for the
balance of the lands (including Kubota) on the north side of Highway 407, between
Sideline 26 and Sidelines 22. The City is currently in the process of finalizing the
Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020
Subject: 2020 Current and Capital Budget Page 15
agreements of purchase and sale with Infrastructure Ontario (10), once those
agreements have been completed, the City will sell the lands to the individual proponents
for the uses of a hotel and convention centre, beverage producer, gas station, office
towers, and high-tech manufacturer. The City has also assigned SKA to produce the cost
recovery plan for the City to recover incurred costs from the various proponents for the
municipal services that were designed and installed. The additional funds required for
this change of scope are $425,000 excluding HST.
EV Charging Stations — Recommendation 37
The Federal Government through Natural Resources Canada is offering a grant over 5
years to cover the purchase and installation for EV charging stations at the 50 percent
funding level. To address the complexities and issues of installing EV charging stations,
the City would first need to conduct an electrical feasibility study to investigate actual
costs for adequate electrical infrastructure prior to installation.
The electrical feasibility study will investigate the following below:
• Location of potential EV charging stations
• Proximity to electrical room
• Capacity in electrical panel
• Capacity of transformer
• Length of conduits
Once the City understands the costs required to have adequate electrical infrastructure in
place, we can make a more informed decision for the 2021 Capital Budget and grant
funding applications.
Development of a Financial Plan — Recommendation 38
The City Centre project will probably be the largest financial project in the City's history.
Complicating the financial planning is the fact that critical information is currently not
available regarding the financial impact of the CBC regulations and the projects tendered
cost. In addition, any financial planning exercise should be based to some degree on
casino revenue experience. Included in the financial plan should be a discussion and or
plan to fund the City's other critical infrastructure assets from surplus casino revenues.
2020 Current Budget
At the February 13, 2020 Executive (Budget) Committee meeting, Council was presented
with a proposed budget levy increase of 2.99 percent, which was accepted by the
Executive Committee. Based on an average assessment of $578,000 the 2.99 percent
increase (excluding the impact of reassessment) will result in an average increase of
approximately $58.00 per year or $1.11 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.
Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020
Subject: 2020 Current and Capital Budget Page 16
For this reason, many residents may not be aware of the costs associated with the vast
array of services offered by the City. Attachment 3 shows a breakdown of the average
daily cost of the City's municipal services (based on the average assessed value of
$578,000 for a Pickering residential property).
Tax Increase Summary
The 2.99 percent City share tax increase translates into an increase of 0.91 percent on
the total residential tax bill. The 2.99 percent levy increase compares favourably to other
municipalities, especially given that Pickering has had the lowest tax rate among its
Durham Region Lakeshore neighbours for over nineteen years (1998 up to 2017) and
has experienced relatively low assessment growth for many years. Adding the Region's
(2.42%) tax increase and Pickering's (2.99%) and the School Board's estimated 0
percent increase, the total increase for the average residential ratepayer will be
approximately 2.25 percent.
In 2000, Pickering Council approved a zero percent levy increase and since then, budget
levy increases have ranged from 9.8 to 2.47 percent.

In 1998, the Province of Ontario introduced the new Ontario Fair Assessment System
(OFAS). The purpose of this new assessment system was to eliminate the historical
inconsistent measure of property values across the Province and to enhance the level of
fairness and equity into the assessment and property tax system. Prior to 1998, each
municipality within Durham Region used a different assessment base year for
determining their assessment. The City of Oshawa used an assessment base year of
1950 and Pickering used a base year of 1984. The introduction of the first Provincial
reassessment caused significant tax increases especially for those municipalities that
used an "old" assessment base such as Whitby and Oshawa. To mitigate the effects of
the "property tax increases", the Region of Durham introduced a residential phase-in
program for assessment related increases and decreases. Approximately 7,200
Pickering residential homeowners benefited from assessment related decreases. The
key factor is that by introducing a new assessment system through the Region, whether
directly or indirectly, a rebalancing of Regional property tax responsibility was
accomplished throughout the Region that resulted in a greater degree of fairness and
equity. Twenty two years later, the question has to be asked as to whether a
"rebalancing" or "taxpayer fairness" is again required.
During the last 22 years, through the Provincial reassessment process there were
situations where the average assessment increase for Pickering was above the Regional
average. In this situation, Regional property tax responsibility was then shifted from other
municipalities to Pickering. Recommendation 2 c) is asking Durham Region to review the
allocation of the Police Services Budget as a condition of casino revenue sharing.
This is the fourth 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 6.58 percent, 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.

Risk Analysis
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 2020 City of Pickering Budget being presented to Council. The following is a list of
some of the most important risks and related mitigating measures.
A 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 2020 winter control budget is based on December and the
first three weeks of January and therefore, the 2020 winter control budget includes
an increase of $95,000. 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.
B 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 2020 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.
C 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
D The outlook for the global economy is changing in a slight negative trend to reflect the
coronavirus. At this time, the global economic impact may not be significant, with a
more pronounced negative impact on China. It appears that the travel and hotel
industry will be the first economic sector to be negatively impacted by the virus.
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
Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020
Subject: 2020 Current and Capital Budget Page 19
components from the US. The risk to our forecasts Capital Budget is more significant due
to the high value of projects we have in the five year forecast.
2020 Challenges and Opportunities
Outstanding Assessment Appeals
There is currently $5.34 billion in outstanding assessment appeals for the
commercial and industrial property tax class for the City. These are multi-year appeals
that range from 2013 up to 2020. These appeals are mostly for large commercial and
industrial properties with complex valuations that often have interests from multiple
parties.
The appeal schedules are set by the Assessment Review Board and the appeals can
take years to resolve. Unfortunately, the majority of these appeals were not resolved in
2019. Therefore, these appeals are automatically deemed outstanding for the 2020
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 appeals and any
funds remaining from these prior years has accrued to fund anticipated settlements in
2020. If the budget provisions are insufficient to fund the reductions, the City would draw
on the Assessment Appeal reserve to fund any shortfall.
New Human Resources and Financial Information System
January 24, 2020 marked the first pay that was driven by the new Human Resources
SAP system phase one entitled "Success Factors". The 2020 Capital Budget includes
funding for phase two of the HR system which will provide us with the recruiting and
onboarding module. This module will help to streamline and manage the centralized
recruiting process by assisting with sourcing and reviewing candidate experience and
provide applicant tracking. It will also provide a central onboarding function that will
provide new employees with a standardized comprehensive orientation program. The
2021 Capital Budget forecast for HR includes the third module that will be used for a
cloud based learning system. This system can be used to develop management and
leadership skills and to track staff training and to ensure compliance with mandated
training.
At this current time, the "Go -Live" date for the financial system is May 1, 2020. The new
financial system consists of: accounts payable, purchasing, accounts receivable,
general ledger and cashier payment processing system. The City's current financial
system is showing its age with purchase requisitions disappearing and other issues.
When the City moves to this new system, the risk of the system crashing and or other
problems will be eliminated. In addition, the new financial system will increase data
integrity through the elimination of manual processes and provide critical information to
user departments to enhance decision making.
Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020
Subject: 2020 Current and Capital Budget Page 20
2020 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.
User Fees and Charges have been established so that those who benefit directly from
programs and services contribute to the cost of the service. The City's user fees and
charges have been updated for 2020 to reflect such things as inflationary increases,
adjustments to ensure greater cost recovery and updates based on comparable fees in
neighboring municipalities.
Asset Management
Maintaining public infrastructure in a state of good repair is a significant responsibility
and cost for municipalities. Critical investments in our assets at the right time help
extend the life of the assets and lower the overall cost of ownership while ensuring that
the assets remain current and safe for public use. These assets are used to provide
residents, businesses, employees and visitors access to services including
transportation, recreation, culture and economic development and have a direct link on
the quality of life for Pickering residents.
Every year, the City has been increasing its funding of reserves and reserve funds to
ensure that it has the dollars available or required to purchase the replacement of the
critical and core assets. For 2020, the Draft Budget as submitted to Council includes
additional funding for the roads and bridges reserve fund; stormwater management
reserve fund, vehicle replacement reserve and fence reserve.
Please find below a quick snapshot of select Durham Lakeshore municipalities
measuring the consumption of their assets. A ratio of 50:20 percent means that the City
has consumed more than half of the asset's life.

2020 Tax Rates
As has been the case for the last few years, the 2020 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.
2020 Capital Budget
This year the draft Capital Budget is $58.6 million, plus an additional $187.3 million for
the Civic Center Construction, which includes a new Library, Performing Arts Centre and
Senior and Youth Centre. Other major capital projects in 2020 include the Animal Shelter
Design & Construction ($9.1 million), Seaton Fire Hall & Headquarters Construction ($8.9
million) and many road resurfacing and reconstruction projects ($4.9 million).
City Centre Project
Casino and Notion Road Bridge Underpass and City Centre Project
Under the current strategic and financial plan, the casino, Notion Road Bridge and City
Centre are directly or indirectly linked together and therefore, are presented together.
Casino Revenue Projection
At this current time, it is staff's understanding that the Casino will be opening on around
April 3, 2020. The casino revenue projection used for the 2020 Budget is based on this
opening date. It is difficult to predict the City's share of the gaming revenue and if you
ask 100 individuals, you would probably receive 100 different estimates.
Historical or past performance is a great building block to be used to develop a forecast.
Unfortunately, with the City not having any gaming revenue history, staff believe that we
can use, to a certain degree, the Niagara Falls Casino revenue as a starting point to
determine a best guess estimate for Pickering's casino revenue projection. Niagara Falls
Casino has competition from Seneca Niagara Resort (located in Niagara Falls, New
York) and the Pickering Casino would have competition for the gaming dollar from
Casino Ajax, Great Blue Heron Casino (Port Perry) and Woodbine Casino.

The revenue projection should increase for the Pickering casino once the hotel and 2,500
seat premier live entertainment venue is open.
The biggest money maker for the casino is slots. In 2018, American casinos made
approximately $6.0 billion in revenues of which $4.0 billion was made in slot machines.
Slots are popular because the game is easy to understand, every player young and old
can enjoy playing and large bets are not necessary to play slots. A small bet is usually
enough that makes slot play interesting for players with a low budget. In addition, the
amazing graphics, sounds, themes and bonus features are a reason for the popularity of
slots as well. Las Vegas casinos have observed an interesting trend among the
millennials. This group doesn't gamble as much as the older generations and they prefer
to gamble in social game settings such as craps and black jack. The challenge for the
casino industry is how to make slot play more social to attract the millennials.
Notion Road Bridge (Highway 401 Crossing)
As a condition to remove the (H-2) Holding Symbol on the Casino Lands, the City

At this current time, the cost associated with the "Benefit to Existing" ($16.0 million)
deduction, would be a City cost. However, the CAD's Office is having discussions with
interested parties and this cost may be partially or fully funded by Third Party
organizations.
The DC roads reserve fund component has a projected balance as of December 31,
2019 of $23.4 million. Therefore, the DC funding for this project would consist of cash
($23.4 m) and debt ($25.6 m). However, there is approximately $1.5 million being used to
fund internal loans that is currently not available to fund this project. In theory these
dollars should be returned to the DC Roads component to reduce the amount of
borrowing. The DC roads reserve component is a key funding source for internal loans.
When the project commences, this source of internal loans will no longer be available
and the City has to consider alternative funding strategy or plan.

budget plan includes the casino reserve funding both arena parking lot projects and the

The DC funding level varies per building due to the fact it reflects what is permissible
under the DC legislation and is based on the average level of service provided over the
last 10 years as per the legislation. Development charge funding cannot be used to pay
for the portion of any new infrastructure that would lead to a service level higher than this
10 -year average level of service.
The Library DC funding reflects a lower percentage due to the fact the funding is capped
at the historical level of service and for the Library it is measured by square footage.
When the Library closed the Greenwood and Whitevale branches, that reduced the
overall total square footage reducing the 10 -year average level of service.

Part A of the financing strategy is based on the maximizing DC funding. Members of
Council may recall that in December 2019, Council approved the "DC Update Study" that
increased the fee for the Parks and Recreation category. The DC fees paid by
developers are allocated to the various DC funding components such as Library and
Parks and Recreation. The DC Parks and Recreation category funds the City Centre Arts
& Youth and Senior Centre buildings. The debt calculation is based on a 25 year term
and an interest rate of 3.50 percent. Staff are aware that the 3.50 percent interest rate is
slightly higher, however, staff wanted to ensure that there was some margin of safety and
or financial flexibility.
Line F is a key indicator for the City Centre project. The calculation is based on Line E
divided by the current DC fee for a 2 bedroom condo rate ($4,074). At a minimum and for
many years, the City needs to have a level of building activity that is equivalent to 1,046
2 bedroom condo units to cover the City's DC debt related to the City Centre project. The
City will also need additional level of building activity to help fund the growth related costs
for Seaton for projects such as Seaton Recreation Complex, parks and trails. If there is
shortfall in building activity that in turn results in lower fees collected, the City has to
make up the shortfall. The City is the Guarantor of DC debt and therefore, any shortfall
would have to be funded from the Casino Reserve. Under the old DC rules, the shortfall
would be corrected and or adjusted through the next DC background study where the
deficit is added to the DC fee calculation resulting in higher fees. The funding of
recreational facilities is considered a soft service and therefore, will now fall under the
CBC. At this current time, with the Province not releasing the CBC regulations, staff have
assumed that any CBC funding shortfall cannot be addressed or funded through future
recoveries.
In 2012, Council recognized the need for a new seniors centre by creating a senior
reserve with a funding contribution of $75,000 per year. Over the last 8 years, Council
has approved funding increases to this reserve and now has a projected balance of $1.4
million (December 31, 2019). In 2017, a minor buildings replacement reserve was
created to fund the replacement of old and high operating cost small buildings. In 2019,
the Library Budget included funding for a new Central Library in the amount of $80,000.
The 2019 Budget included transfers to reserves as reflected in Lines N, 0, and P. These
dollars are now part of the 2020 base budget. These funds will now be applied to reduce
annual debt payments.
Municipal Debt Limits and Annual Repayment Limit (ARL)
As stated in report (FIN 15-19, page 7), the City has a debt limit (Annual Repayment
Limit or ARL) as reported by Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MMA). The ARL can be simply
defined as the maximum amount that a municipality can pay in principal and interest
payments in the year for long-term debt (and in annual payments for other financial
commitments) without first obtaining approval from the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.
From a simple perspective, the ARL could be viewed as the current available debt limit
on an individual's credit card. The goal is not to maximize the borrowing amount, but
instead to use the ARL as a guideline to manage the City's financial affairs.
Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020
Subject: 2020 Current and Capital Budget Page 26
MMA determines each year, the municipality's limit using a formula in the regulation
based on the financial information supplied to the ministry through its Financial
Information Return (FIR). For municipalities, the ARL is set at 25 percent of their annual
"own -source" revenues (a ministry -determined amount which includes property taxes,
user fees and investment income) less: grants; annual long-term debt servicing costs and
annual payments for other long-term financial obligations. The long term debt servicing
cost includes all City issued debt plus other debt such as DC debt and third party debt
(soccer dome). It is very rare for municipalities to exceed the 25 percent debt limit.
Please find below a comparison of the City's annual debt cost (that includes principal and
interest) in relation to the ARL. The source of the data was the annual FIR, Schedule 81
for the 2018.The 2019 financial information is currently not available due to the fact the
City is still processing its 2019 closing adjustments. As expected, with the introduction of
the City Centre project and corresponding City Share Debt and DC Debt, the revised
debt projection puts the City substantially closer to the ARL. On a go forward basis, every
debt financed project (directly or indirectly funded by DC's) will be subject to the ARL test
to ensure that the City is below the 25 percent limit or cap. Without stating the obvious,
the financial goal is not to be near the 25 percent limit, but instead be around or below 10
percent.

An important financial measure is "debt per capita". This measure was referenced in the
"City Centre Multi -Year Financial Stress Test" (FIN 15-19) report. Please find below, a
comparison of the debt per capita for Durham Municipalities and others.

The above information is based on municipality's 2018 Financial Statements. The 2019
financial information is currently not available as municipalities are currently working on
"closing the books" and the 2019 financial information for municipalities is usually
available after the first quarter. The "Revised Pickering" data is based on the 2018
outstanding debt plus the City Centre (City and DC debt).The high level of debt per
capita was referenced in the "City Centre Multi -Year Financial Stress Test" report. The
debt per capita over time will decrease due to increases to the City's population and
through annual debt payments.
2020 & 2021 and Rest of Term Financial Strategy
This year related to the City Centre project are large unknown financial variables that can
have a significant impact on the City. These variables are:
1. City Centre tendered cost and cost containment strategy
2. Community Benefit Charge (missing Regulations)
City Centre Cost and Cost Containment
From a historic perspective, the City Centre project cost has increased from $139.4
million (May 2019) to $188.2 million (January 31, 2020) — an increase of $48.8 million or
35.0 percent. It is expected that the buildings tendered cost information will be coming to
Council in June. The goal should be not to exceed the current project cost but in fact
Report FIN 02-20 February 24, 2020
Subject: 2020 Current and Capital Budget Page 28
between now and June look at options and or strategies to reduce the project's cost. The
second and probably the more important factor is controlling construction costs once the
project has started. The City's Project Manager has to be vigilant and tenacious in
defending the City's interests.
Community Benefit Charge (CBC) — Missing Provincial Regulations
The detailed regulations to determine the rules and calculations for the CBC were
supposed to be issued this fall and again by the end of January 2020. The City Centre
project financial plan is based on almost receiving 48.0 percent in DC/CBC funding. If the
project was $1.0 million, the City range of risk or uncertainty would be minimal. The DC
funding or contribution is almost $90.0 million with estimated annual DC debt charges of
around $4.2 million. While staff are confident that the City will collect "X" dollars from the
CBC, the critical issue and concern is — will the total CBC fees collected per year be
sufficient to meet the first obligation of $4.26 million per year plus also provide
funding for other growth related costs such as Seaton (parks, trails and Seaton
Recreation Complex)? As stated previously, any shortfall in funding to meet the $4.2
million obligation will be funded from the Casino Reserve. If there is insufficient CBC
funds for Seaton, the City will have to consider deferring projects, reducing their size,
using available surplus casino revenues or a combination of all three.
To reduce the City Centre project financial risk, the City has to annually retain the first
$10.0 million in casino revenues (see Recommendation 2 a)). This dollar amount will
cover the City debt and any possible shortfall in DC/CBC revenues.
Debt Payments and Debt Financing of Capital Projects
The 2020 Current Budget includes $5.4 million of taxpayer funded debt charges (interest
and principal), excluding the City Centre project. The taxpayer funded debt charges
represent 7.8 percent of the 2020 property taxes levied. In other words, for every dollar
collected — 7 cents is applied to debt charges. In 2017, the Development Charges
Operations Centre Reserve Fund borrowed $9.2 million to meet the funding requirements
for the new Operations Centre located on Clements Road. The principal and interest
payments associated with this debt is $675,729 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.

borrowed funds to meet its funding obligations for the new Operations Centre.
Development Charges collected from new growth pay the principal and interest charges
associated with this debt type. Excluding the DC debt for the Operations Centre and the
City Centre project, the City has financial commitments of $135.5 million

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.

Services" moves them to the CBC. pickenng.ca
2020 Budget Issues & Opportunities
Community Benefit Charge (CBC)
Former "Soft Services" under the Development Charges Act (DCA) are now going to be
funded under the CBC.
Soft Services are: parks, community centres, trails, non -road studies and libraries.
Hard Services under the DCA for Pickering includes: roads, bridges, sidewalks, fire
protection, storm water management, studies related to hard services and operation
centre component that is used for roads related functions.
The CBC fee or rate will be calculated as follows:
Rate (Currently Unknown) X Land Value
PICKERING

pickering.ca
2020 Budget Issues & Opportunities
CBC Issues
• Will the CBC rate be set by individual municipality or by Region?
• How will maximum rates be imposed or shared between upper and lower tier
municipalities?
Will the same percentage or rate be used for residential and non residential lands?
Will there be a range of percentages to account for rural vs urban?
• What will happen to debt related to "soft services"?
City has DC debt associated with the new Operations Centre
Using land value sets a CAP for the CBC and is not related to the cost of providing services.

Burlington Community Benefit Charge
Reduced funding available for community needs for "soft services" such as parks, recreations

London
Bill 108 will have substantial impacts on the City's growth capital plan including the sources
available to implement growth capital projects.
Mississauga
Bill 108 has the potential to reduce the amount of money available to provide soft services
required to create complete communities including libraries, community centres and parkland.
Oakville
Bill 108 introduces significant changes to the financial tools available to ensure that growth
pays for growth. There remains uncertainty as the level of funding the CBC would provide and as
such, most capital projects related to these services have been delayed until more isfl ppuw�

Financial Strategy for City & Civic Centre
1. Civic Centre Project needs to lose 5 to 10 pounds.
2. Tendered cost should be a Fixed Cost Contract.
3. Control construction costs through vigilant project management. - No surprises
Mitigating CBC Risk
The City is the guarantor of the DC/CBC debt. Any shortfall in revenues has to be funded by the City.
1. The City should ensure that by December 31. of every year it has sufficient funds in the casino
reserve to meet the following year's obligations both City and DC/CBC.
2. Based on this presentation, the City needs to have $7,967,000 in the casino reserve to meet the
following year's obligations.
3. Surplus Casino Reserve funds would then be allocated based on Council approval.
4. To further reduce the risk —Treasurer is recommending that the first $10.0 million in casino revenue
be all allocated to the City and the remainder shared with the Region at a higher percentage and
Regional share capped at $6.0 million.
