Housing Accelerator Funding — 2024 Budget Amendment OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Finance Committee. AUTHORIZATION Primary Authors Commissioner/Dept. Chief Administrative Head Officer Carrie Smith/Craig Amy Poffenroth/Kevin J. Brent McGovern Lavigne Fudge RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that members of the Finance Committee approve the 2024 Budget recommendation for funding received as part of the Housing Accelerator Funding. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City entered into an agreement on January 2, 2024, with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC") for funding as part of the Federal Government program known as the Housing Accelerator Fund ("HAP'). The City will be eligible to receive funding in the amount of $9,182,646.80 over four years effective 2024. The City received the first of four payments in the amount of $2,295,661.70. The purpose of this report is to seek Finance Committee approval of a 2024 Budget for the HAF since the funding was not finalized at the time the 2024 Operating Budget was approved. PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS Common Council Resolution — December 18, 2023 — City of Saint John Housing Accelerator Fund 2024-206 Action Plan — CMNC Agreement #27,097,302 6V -2- STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT Council Priorities Common Council has established five priorities for their 2021-2026 term. Affordable Housing aligns with the following Council Priorities: • Grow: o Population Growth o Grow our population at a rate of 2% annually by the end of Council's term. • Belong: o Livable Neighbourhoods o Facilitate a mix of affordable housing in all of our neighbourhoods. Action is needed to increase the supply of housing and meet anticipated demand due to population growth goals and other demographic factors. Municipal Plan The HAF Plan supports the implementation of the Municipal Plan's vision of smart growth and complete communities, where the city's neighbourhoods are comprised of mixed income living and offer a range of diverse housing choices to meet different life cycle needs. The HAF Plan expedites the delivery of the Municipal Plan's neighbourhood revitalization program through initiatives that target key intensification areas, primary corridors, and opportunities to add "gentle density." The Plan further aligns with the General Housing Policies of the Municipal Plan (HS-1-11), Affordable Housing (HS-12-16), and Secondary Suites (HS-20-21). 10-Year Strategic Plan The HAF Plan supports the 10-Year Strategic Plan (2023-2027+)'s population growth target of an additional 15,000 residents over 10 years. To adequately respond to this growth target, housing starts will need to double. The HAF Plan expedites several additional objectives and actions, including growing the tax base, sale of City landholdings, development of a North End Neighbourhood Plan, expansion of incentive programs, implementation of the Affordable Housing Action Plan, and obtaining external funding for infrastructure investment. Affordable Housing Action Plan The HAF Plan implements the 2022-2027 Affordable Housing Action Plan's objectives, in particular as it relates to cultivating a more responsive housing system and expanding the supply and range of affordable housing options. REPORT The City entered into an agreement on January 2, 2024, with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ("CMHC") for funding as part of the Federal Government 6'il -3- program known as the Housing Accelerator Fund ("HAF"). The City will be eligible to receive funding in the amount of $9,182,646.80 over four years effective 2024. The City received the first of four payments in the amount of $2,295,661.70. The purpose of this report is to seek Finance Committee approval of a 2024 Budget for the HAF since the funding was not finalized at the time the 2024 Operating Budget was approved. Staff has prepared a budget for 2024 in the amount of $3,305,582 for approval. The expenses incurred will be offset by a corresponding revenue from the HAF grant the City received. A detailed four-year budget has been prepared (Appendix A) and for the 2025-2027 budget years, the HAF budget will be included as part of the City's annual operating budget. SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Subject to compliance, the City will be receiving $9,182,646.80. These funds will allow for the full implementation of the City's HAF Action Plan and will be paid to the City according to the approximate timeline: .� First January 2, 2024 $2.29M Second February 2025 $2.29M Third February 2026 $2.29M Fourth February 2027* (conditional on achievement of housing supply growth targets) $2.29M* Staff point out a few pertinent conditions of funding for Council's awareness: A. As a condition of the fourth advance* only, the City must achieve the Housing Supply Growth Target (HSGT) and the Additional Targets. Staff Comment: in the event that the City does not meet its HSGT of 1,124 units, CMHC has conveyed to staff that the fourth advance would be prorated based on performance. B. HAF Funding is subject to there being a Parliamentary appropriation for the fiscal year in which the advance is to be made. Staff Comment: Staff will ensure that any new development incentives presented to Council for approval will ensure (as we do now) that we don't spend or pay out funding to developers that has not been budgeted, and in this specific instance that the City has yet to receive from CMHC. 6191 C. There are reporting requirements for this agreement, and staff will submit all mandatory reporting to CMHC at the appropriate times. The City's HAF Action Plan estimates that additional full-time staff would be required to implement the plan, in addition to the budget set aside for external technical expertise where it otherwise cannot be provided through staff. There is considerable flexibility from CMHC on how the City uses its funding. While the City must achieve all milestones and targets as set out in the agreement, the City can internally shift funding from one initiative to the other as required through the life of the agreement to meet its targets, and without the need to consult CMHC, or simply adjust how initiatives are delivered. As an example, if in the third year the City identifies that it is falling behind on a specific type of residential unit required by CMHC, it can move funding or staff assigned to a different initiative in the Action Plan to ensure the City can meet that faltering target. As a reference only, six of the eight actions have targeted permitted units required by CMHC. Initiative 7 (E-Permitting) and Initiative 8 (Governance Reform) do not have permitted targets and are instead aimed at capacity building.

Transit Purchase Electric Vehicles — Request for 2023 2024 Capital Budget Adjustment OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Finance Committee. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author(s) Commissioner/Dept. Head Chief Administrative Officer Ian MacKinnon Michael Hugenholtz J. Brent McGovern RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Finance Committee approve an adjustment to the 2023 and 2024 capital budgets to enable the residual lease buyout of six (6) twenty - foot Karsan E-Jest Electric Buses from Damera Leasing Canada Corp. at a total cost of $1,662,111.24 plus HST. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In March 2022, the Finance Committee directed Saint John Transit and staff to submit a funding application to Infrastructure Canada's Zero Emission Transit Fund (ZETF), as part of the Transforming Transit Project. The dollar value of the application is $22,580,000 distributed over the completion of project elements over multiple years. The structure of the funding application is the City committing 50% of the dollar value ($11,290,000) and the ZETF is responsible for the remaining 50% ($11,290,000). This application includes the purchase of twenty-four (24) zero emission buses and Pavilion Style fast charge station strategically located on its fixed Transit route network. In 2023, as part of the Transforming Transit project, Saint John Transit launched its On -Demand Flex service in three (3) zones of the city utilizing six (6) twenty - foot Karsan E-Jest Electric Buses. The electric buses were leased for a term of twelve (12) months with the option to extend it by an additional six (6) months. Saint John Transit is currently beginning month five (5) of the six (6) month extension. The supplier recently and unexpectedly indicated there is no ability to extend the lease further. Originally when the decision was made to lease, there were several reasons to do so: including vehicle availability, interest rates and outside funding availability. The single largest driver was the anticipation of Zero 611:3 -2- Emission Transit Fund (ZETF) award allowing for an outright purchase of these vehicles. Unfortunately, to date, Saint John Transit has yet to receive a response on the successful award of the ZETF application. REPORT The Zero Emission Transit Fund was created to help remove key barriers impeding the deployment of zero emission buses through providing funding for planning, the procurement of buses and ancillary infrastructure required to support zero emission buses. With the approved direction from Finance Committee in March of 2022 to submit a ZETF application, Saint John Transit worked with a partner and crafted a very detailed criteria -based application which was submitted late June 2023. In July of 2023, Saint John Transit received a few clarifying questions from ZETF staff but, nothing substantial since. Indications are Saint John Transits application is complete and no further clarity required. To date Saint John Transit has not received an award and Saint John Transit continues to frequently inquire about status. Capital budgeting in 2023 and 2024 was structured to support this ZETF application. The total capital budget for Saint John Transit in each of these years was set aside to become a portion of the city share (11,290,000) or 50% supporting this application. A subset of each of these capital budget years included $878,880 in 2023 and $1,050,000 in 2024 for bus purchases. Since launching the On- Demand service with these six electric buses there have been several financial environmental changes along with key operational learnings. Interest rates and supply chain issues continue to be a challenge in 2023 and so far in 2024. Increase in interest rates and supply chain issues have caused price increases with just about everything. At the time Saint John Transit executed the lease, the price per bus committed in the document was $323,000. The purchase price now is close to $390,000 per Bus. Also, the lease cost of financing was very low, close to zero, and now is approximately 7%. In addition, delivery times for buses have changed and now can be nine (9) to fourteen (14) months. From an operational perspective, each twenty -foot electric bus is priced at $390,000, while a 40-foot diesel -powered bus is close to $800,000. Comparing the cost of one to the other is not just a price -to -price comparison. Long term maintenance costs comparison will take several years and is currently unknown. Intuitively, thus far, it looks favorable for electric vehicles. With electric Saint John Transit must consider the cost of charging infrastructure and how long the charge lasts in terms of Kms. Most things being considered, Saint John Transit 611%] -3- can charge a bus overnight for approximately $6 to $13 and then utilize for 200 - 220Kms of service. A traditional diesel powered forty -foot bus can travel 1.95 kilometers per litre of fuel and the price of diesel is roughly $2 per. This equates to $225 in cost for the same 220 kilometers. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION At a previous Finance Committee Meeting on March 23, 2022, it was resolved "that as recommended by the City Manager in the submitted report Application to Zero Emission Transit Fund, the Finance Committee direct staff to submit application to Federal Zero Emission Transit Fund and refer the purchase and funding opportunity to the Capital Budgeting process." STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This report aligns with Council's Priority for Valued Service Delivery, specifically as it relates to investing in sustainable City services and municipal infrastructure. SERVICEAND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Along the timeline of our lease and not having indication of a ZETF award, we are at a point of decision regarding the six buses that provide our On -Demand Transit Service. The terms of the lease are such that we have a buyout anywhere during the lease term. At the end of month six the total buyout noted in our lease is $277,018.54 per bus or a total of $1,662,111.24 for all six. With ZETF not being awarded, our Bus lease set to expire with no option to extend, numerous changes in the financial climate and supply chain issues, we are recommending the purchase of six buses for the remaining leased residual value of $1,662,111.24. Funding to purchase these buses will come from City share funding for the ZETF program approved by Council in 2023 and 2024 of $3,193,380. If in the future the ZETF application succeeds, Council will need to consider approval of City Share in 2025 to replace this funding. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS Input into the report has been sought from Finance and Supply Chain Management. This acquisition complies with the City' Strategic Procurement Policy and Supply Chain Management supports the recommendation being put forth.
