2014 General Fund Capital BudgetREPORT TO CONI.MON COUNCIL 12 February 2014 RT UP 26, 97 MIJ77TWMILM Y i TV I v IT Your Worship and Councillors: =` T iry ICS a# Each year the City budgets for major capital investments that support the delivery of municipal services. These initiatives are fimnded by transfers from other levels of government (gas tax), the sale of assets (property), internal reserves (computers) and long-term borrowing. The total expenditure level projected for 2014 is $2495M with $1236M funded from other sources and a net borrowing cost to the City of $11.83M. The initial total request for new investments far exceeded our fiscal capacity. It was therefore necessary to strike a balance in both the type and magnitude of the projects that are funded in full consideration of our ability to pay. The selection of projects must also integrate with planned investments in the Water and Sewerage utility, The selection of the projects for the proposed capital program took into consideration Common Council's priorities, safety of the public and our employees, the preservation of assets, economic development opportunities , operational necessities and measures to reduce costs. Some of the 69 initiatives included in the submitted 2014 capital program are highlighted below. Roads — Capital renewal of Hillcrest Street will be undertaken in conjunction with renewal of underground infrastructure; reconstruction of a portion of Prince William Street will proceed and $1.OM in gas tax ftmding will be allocated to continued road maintenance and repair. In addition, $1.20M will be budgeted for upgrades to curbs and sidewalks. The total funding allocation (operating and capital) for road related works is projected at $10.7114 for 2014, Drainzge Control -urged! infrastructure and more frequent and intense storms necessitate ongoing investments in drainage control measures in order to protect the properties of homeowners and businesses. Extensive work will continue in 2014 with 10 projects to be undertaken in various locations around the City. Gas Tax funding of $5.45M will limit the City's direct contribution at $1.44M.

Cost Reduction - lights and funds for the munpal works depot on the West side are included. Preservation of Assets - continued investment in our vehicle fleet, purc-hase of two new Transit buses, and improvements to the Lily Lake Pavillion are included. -11-11--\ . . . .. . .... . .. . ...... . . Operational Needs - replacement of backbone servers and computers, new point Of sale equipment for concessions at Harbour Station, upgrades to p ticket equipment, improvements at the City Library and new motors for the fire rescue boat are proposed. The continued availability of gas tax funding is critical to meeting our infrastructure needs and reducing the use of debt financing. Any reduction in the level of our allocation would necessitate an equivalent reduction in project: spending. The Capital budget addresses Council's priorities (roads, recreation, economic development) and continues with needed investments to promote public safety, reduce flooding and maintain existing assets. The City does not have limitless resources. Implementation of the policies and directions of P`IanSJ and PlaySJ are necessary in order to better manage demands for investment in now infrastructure and to reduce the costs of maintaining existing facilities. Recommendation That Common Council approve the attached 2014 General Capital budget.
