Executive Summary: Not applicable Financial Implications: The 2005 Current (Operating) & Capital Budgets, if adopted as presented, will result in a tax levy increase of 5.5 percent over last year's average property tax bill (excluding any Provincial tax policy changes). On a home assessed at $257.,000, the total tax levy proposed increase equates to $0.95 per week. The proposed increase is estimated to be approximately 1.45% on the Total Residential Tax Bill. Adoption of the 2005 Capital Budget includes the use, or draw down, of Reserves and Reserve Funds of approximately $5,641,650. Capital Budget financing also necessitates the use of $4,244,000 in debt that will result in an increase in the 2006 Current (Operating) Budget for 'debt charges' in the amount of approximately $550,000 which is a 1.7 percent tax impact. Report CS 30-05 Subject: 2005 Current and Capital Budgets Date: April 28, 2005 Page 6 Background: The Recommendations put forth are those necessary to adopt the 2005 Current (Operating) and Capital Budgets of the City of Pickering. As in past years, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), the Director, Corporate Services & Treasurer and the Depar[ment 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 very limited sustainable growth, more or less, in the middle of a growing economy and geographic area. Pickering has been in this situation for the last few years due to 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. What used to be normal 5 to 7 percent assessment growth has first leveled off and then declined to approximately 1 percent in the last few years and 1.2 percent, net of write offs, for 2005. (Pickering's current growth is basically the result of "infilling"). This is a very limited growth situation. In order to sustain the City financially certain measures have been taken in successive budgets: Operating expenditures, other than contractual increases, have been reviewed by the CAO and senior staff and where possible, either held at last year's level or basically an inflationary adjustment. The administration has been reorganized, made more efficient and more cost effective. 3. One time revenues have been used to offset ongoing operating costs. Contributions to Reserves and Reserve Funds to assist in maintaining the City's infrastructure has decreased. 5. An increasing reliance on withdrawals from Reserves and Reserve Funds. 6. The use of debt over the last five years to forestall tax increases. 7. A leveling off of 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". Report CS 30-05 Subject: 2005 Current and Capital Budgets Date: April 28, 2005 Page 7 Reserves and Reserve Funds The 2005 Budgets contain continuing reliance upon draws from Reserves and Reserve Funds especially for the Parkland Reserve Fund (Account #4230). The 2004 projected year-end balance for the Parkland Reserve Fund is $2.04 million. However, the 2005 capital budget will use approximately $650,000 to fund various capital projects such as playground equipment and therefore, the estimated 2005 yearend position for this account would be approximately $1.4 million. (In 1997 the Parkland Reserve Fund's balance was $4.1 million). In February of this year, the City received $2,500,000 and Recommendation 4 a) directs the Treasurer to establish the Easement Settlement Reserve. The 2005 budget proposes to use $1,404,887 of these funds. The projected balance of the fund is presented below. Easement Settlement Reserve (Opening Balance 2005) Less: Capital Budget Expenditures Current Budget Expenditures Projected December 31,2005 Balance $2,500,000 (969,550) (435,337) $1,095,113 The External Subdivision portion of the 2005 Capital Budget is funded primarily from two sources: Developer contributions and a City Share Developer Contributions (Reserve Account #4620). The City's cost for its share of 2005 capital projects is $2.02 million. Our 2005 contribution to the City Share Reserve (Account #4260) is $590,000 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. 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 additional 2005 debt of $4,2 million is substantially higher than the 2004 debt of $2.2 million. The 2005 debt will translate into additional debt charges of approximately $550,000 which will necessitate a 1.7 percent of increase in the 2006 Current (Operating) Budget, For 2005, the City is planning on issuing $4,244,800 of external debt for various projects listed in Table One.

The 2005 Current and Capital Budgets for APTA include some projects for which external grant funding has been applied for. As Members of Council are aware, several APTA buses are at or near retirement and these vehicles need to be replaced. Conventional transit buses costs approximately $620,000 each and external grant funding will be used to assist the municipality in paying for the buses. The 2005 draft APTA capital budget proposes to purchase eight conventional and three specialized vehicles - an increase of six additional vehicles over the 2004 approved budget. Beginning on January 1, 2006, the Region of Durham will be responsible for transit. For 2005, the City of Pickering is basically in a financial "caretaker position" regarding APTA or transit. Bus purchases and the actual physical delivery of the bus usually takes over 12 months due to time involved in constructing the vehicle. It is anticipated that APTA will place the purchase order in late fall 2005 and the vehicle will be received in 2006. When buses are ordered, a progress payment schedule or plan is required as part of the purchase agreement with the manufacturer. It is anticipated that APTA will be responsible for 5% of the initial bus cost and remainder of the payment would be the responsibility of Durham Region. Recommendation 3 c) comply's with the Durham Region Transit Bylaw "clause m" by stating that APTA must have written confirmation Report CS 30-05 Subject: 2005 Current and Capital Budgets Date: April 28, 2005 Page 10 from the Region regarding the assumption of liabilities as a result of ordering/purchasing of buses. The Transit/Transportation 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 also be used to reduce APTA's current operating budgetary increases and to partially fund Pickering's cost of the provision of financial services to APTA. In addition, the Transit/Transportation Reserve should be viewed as a financial security blanket from the perspective of protecting the City's 2005 financial plan if APTA should either have a revenue shortfall or unanticipated expenditure increase this year. Recommendation 3 d) will authorize the Treasurer to fund Pickering's share of APTA financial shortfalls from a draw from the Transit/Transportation Reserve. In addition, if approved, Recommendation 3 d) permits the use of the Transit Transportation Reserve to be used to fund any APTA expenditures which in-turn could reduce the impact on the tax levy. The 2005 Budget continues 'the 2004 strategy of using part of the Transit Transportation Reserve to fund Pickering's costs for the general provision of financial services to APTA in the amount of $95,000. In addition, the City plans to use the 2005 funds received from the Region of Durham to fund APTA at a level that does not increase the 2004 tax levy. 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. The last such adjustment was in conjunction with the 2004 Budget. Travel costs for Councillors was adjusted to reflect higher vehicle operating costs and to establish a base upon which future adjustments can be calculated. The two forms of allowance are now the same and any future adjustments will be as approved by Council in Report CS 14-04 or as may be otherwise approved by Council. In addition, as per Budget Committee meetings of April 7and 8th, car allowance has been implemented for the CAO. PIL Revenue Based on Estimates In 2004, the City budgeted approximately $3.7 million in revenue which was based on an assessment estimate as provided by MPAC. An estimate was used due to the fact the assessment appeal has not yet been finalized between the City, OPG and indirectly MPAC. In mid February of this year, the City received a revised lower estimate from MPAC regarding the OPG facilities. Staff in consultation with its assessment consultant have reviewed the revised lower estimate and are not in an agreement with some of the facts used to determine the assessment. The revised lower assessment has been used for the 2005 budget process, however, staff and the City's consultants will be presenting counter arguments at the Assessment Review Board hearings. Report CS 30-05 Subject: 2005 Current and Capital Budgets Date: April 28, 2005 Page 11 Tax Rates As has been the case for the last few years, the 2005 Property Tax Rates and Levy By- law will be presented at a later date when more information is available from the Province regarding the education tax rates for the large industrial tax class. Several years ago, 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 higher level government decisions regarding tax rates and 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 8 a) will allow the Treasurer to make any adjustments to the 2005 proposed Total Tax Levy to reflect senior government tax policy decisions 2006/2007Capital Forecast Bud.qet The 2006/2007 capital forecast budget projects a total expenditure in the amount of $52.65 million. The high capital forecast is a result of projects and capital expenditures being deferred to future years due to affordability limitations. As Members of Council are aware, the City cannot afford these types of expenditures during the next two years. Over the next few months the capital forecast budget will be reviewed from the perspective of affordability, maintenance and safety. A revised capital budget forecast will be presented to Council later this year. 2005 User Fees & Charqes Schedule Every year, the City increases its user fees for various recreational and cultural programs to partially reflect the cost of delivering the various programs. As in previous years the budget reflects the revised user fees to be approved by Council. Under the Municipal Act, 2001, Section 391, user fee changes have to be established by By-law and the municipality must maintain a list of its fees and charges for public inspection. Last year Council approved By-law 6338/04 as part of the 2004 Budget Council Report CS-14 which revised the user fees to reflect the 2004 budget. Recommendation 11, seeks Council approval to approve the attached By-law and corresponding User Fee Schedule. The additional revenue from the user fee increases is already reflected in the 2005 budget. Council Compensation Policy Recommendation 12 seeks Council approval to adopt the "Salary, Expenses and Communications Respecting Members of Council", as found in Attachment 2. This document was originally presented to Council at the December Retreat. There have Report CS 30-05 Subject: 2005 Current and Capital Budgets Date: April 28, 2005 Page 12 been no changes to the document except to reflect the change in RRSP contributions from 9 percent to 11 percent and wording clarification changes. 2005 Bud.qet Summary Pages Attachment 3 includes the budget summary pages as presented to Council at the April 7 and April 8th Budget Committee meetings. These documents have been revised to reflect the decisions made by Council at these meetings including the discussions on April 25, 2005. Section 299 & 300 of the Municipal Act, 2001 Section 299 & 300 of the Municipal Act, 2001 requires each municipality to provide notice to the public on the improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery of services by the municipality and local boards and identify any barriers in achieving improvements. Barriers Encountered by the Municipality In Achieving its Efficiency and Improvements The first significant barrier is that the City of Pickering's primary source of revenue is property taxes. The City believes that municipalities do not have financial tools available for generating revenue in order to meet the demands of its citizens and to keep property tax increases at affordable levels. Another barrier is the limitations to the projects eligible to be funded through development charges. Municipalities are expected by their citizens to provide recreational facilities, transit services, libraries etc. Municipalities feel that the current statutory 10% discounts should be eliminated, and that the list of eligible costs be expanded. The City of Pickering is somewhat unique from the perspective that it basically has little serviced land available for development. (The Federal and Provincial Governments own or have control of lands in Central and Northern Pickering which currently blocks any future development). Other municipalities are able to offset some portion of budgetary increases through assessment growth. Unfortunately, the City has very limited assessment growth due to its "landlocked" position. Under the area of "Improvements in Efficiencies and Effectiveness," the City continues to review and streamline its operations. As required under the Act, further information will be reported later this year. 2005 Budget - Roads, Bridges & Community Safety For 2005, the City is embarking on an ambitious capital budget that invests funds into the City's roads, sidewalks and bridges infrastructure. As the graph below indicates, Report CS 30-05 Subject: 2005 Current and Capital Budgets Date: April 28, 2005 Page 13 the $14.4 million capital expenditure program is the highest the budget has been over the last eleven years. Capital Budget Summary 1995 to 2005' $15,000,000- $12,000,000- $9,000,000- $6,000,000' $3,000,000' $o 1995 1997 1999 2001 2003 2005 1[] Capital Expenditures I It is anticipated that many of the projects will commence in 2005 and be completed in 2006. The COMRIF capital bridge program may take several years to complete and is dependent upon Federal and Provincial Government funding. The 2005 Current Budget includes 12 new staff of which six positions are for direct community safety (five Fire and one By-law). Over the last few years, the City has basically added only new positions for Fire Services and is now starting to address workload pressures in other areas. Liverpool Road - Great Lakes Nautical Theme Phase 1 - Liverpool Road South Underqround Utility Conversion The 2005 Capital Budget contains the above-mentioned project in the amount of $700,000, to be debt financed over 20 years, The Recommendation is put forth for what is called Phase 1 only, being the underground utility conversion, to proceed as soon as the budget is passed. As Veridian is the owner of the overhead electrical wires, transformers and other related appurtenances they are the only ones to undertake this work. Considering the foregoing and bearing in mind that it is essential that this work be completed prior to the start of the Frenchmans Bay Festival in June approval is require now. The estimated value of this work for Phase 1 is $200,000, to be debt financed over 20 years in conjunction with the balance of the project when it is approved. Report CS 30-05 Subject: 2005 Current and Capital Budgets Date: April 28, 2005 Page 14 The remainder of the work which will include boulevard treatments and associated street furniture installations will be addressed through the normal tendering process at a later date.
