Your Worship and Councillors,
Re: 2009-2010 G+eneral Fund Capital Budget
Background
The purpose of the capital budget is to d'zrect munzcipal investanents in needed
infrastructure, protect public safety, make strategic investments to improve tihe ecanomic
well being of the community and to preserve and enharnce existing public assets.
The City of Saint John adopteci an aggressive capital expenditure program as part of its
2009 budget pr4cess. The total approved budget (with a11 adjust-ments) aznounted to
$78,922,400 with $25,192,000 iclenfified as caming frozn other sources, leaving a net
capital budget to be financecl by long-term debt of $53,730,404. To date, $34.5M (City
ancl other sources) has beean expended on these various proaects.
This level of capital expendituze is not susfiainable on a recurring basis as it will iznpact
our long-term borrowing capacity and/or cannproznzse our ability to address Council
priorities.
A camprehensive review was therefare undertaken af both the 2009 capital budget and
the 2010 proposals.
2(}09 C"apital Budget Program
A numlaer of the 2009 individual projects are at variaaas stages of cornpletian and must be
finalized. Otiher projects havc yefi to begin or are delayed pending land acquisition,
confirtnatian of funding fram other sources etc.
Tn ara effort to reduce the overall scope ofi the 2009 capztal budget a praject by project
review was completed. Projects were screened against the following criteria;
~ coinpletion of projects currently underway - Canada Games Stadaurn
~projects involving public safety- intersections, street lighting, fire equiprnenf
o projects addresszng Council priorities - stnrm, transpcrrtation, z•ecreation
1
2
~ prajects that are being cost slaared - gas fax funding
~ projects that are strategic in nature -econamic development, Trade Centre
A total o£ 72 projects worth $1 S.6M memt continued support based on the establbshed
criteria and arc; set out in the attached Schedule. This would reduce the total comYnitment
kra $50.11VI (fram City and other sources) for 2009 projects. The remainder Qf the projects
wiil hawe to be reccanszdered in future budget submzssioms.
2010 Capital Budgex Program
An extensive list of projects amounting to $50,116,351 was submitted for consideration
during the 2010 budget process. Bora°owings in any one year have to be considered in the
cQnkext of mulfi-year expenditure programs and our ability to retire the associated debt.
Again, this Ievel of recurring annual expenditure is beyond the long-terin capacity af the
city.
The same screening criteria were applied to the 2010 projects (publie safety, Cauncil
priority, co-funding available, strategic inwestment). The tatal pragramm was further
1imited hy the ainount to be carried forward to complete the 2(}09 capital program.
The City's share for the proposed 20I0 capitai program, including the 2009 projects
brought forward (excluding Peel Plaza) is set at $31.5M. In addition ta the City
contribution, funding from other sources totaling $1 l.9M is projected for 2010 bringing
the total capIlta1 cornmitrnent to $27.88M for the current year.
Ci Share Qther Saurces Total
2409 $ ] 5,624,SC►0 $15,624,500
2010 $15,911,100 $11,969,400 $27,880,100
T'otal $31,535,600 $11,969,000 $43,5041600
The reductions and arevisions in the 2049 and 2010 capital budgets will allow needed
wark and Council priorities ta move farward without placing an undue straYn on the
financial pasition of the City.
The funding envelnpe available for general capital prajects is projected to be $15.4M in
each of 2011 and 2012. The individual projects deemed eligible for funding will be
deten-nzned durin;g the ensuing budget process.
Highlights
The proposed budget provides funding for 110 ind'zvidual projects af a net cast of
$31.51V1. A deliberate effort has been macle to provide a balanced approach to funding
the variaus initiatives wrthaut camprornising the Caty's Iong-term £inanczal positzon. It
2

was also necessary to rneefi the progran requiareznents of the ather funding partners (Gas
Tax Fund, Stimulus etc).
Storm "Watez- Mauagement -funding for 20 projects in various areas of the City
iancluding Market I'Iace, Sea Street, Brentwoad, MiTford, Sherbroake/Honeysuckle,
Marsh Creek, Beach Crescent and Kennebecasis Drive.
Transpartation - includes fiunding for 29 projects. SmaI1 amounts are pravided ta
complete sorne projects currently underway. Uther projects include Mountain View
Drivc, Frincess St, Roxhesay Road, Be;averbrpQk Ave, and Bayside Dr. In addition $3.9M
is provided for reeonstg-uction of a portion of the Westfieid Rd.
Rea1 Estate -provrsion for 27 prQjects including improvemenfis to the Carieton
Community Centre, Narth End Community Centre, City Market, and Carnegie Building
Leisure Services - includes fmding to cornplete the Canada Games Stadium and Phase 2
of Rockwaod Park, new installations aan Rainbow Park and Fpernming Court, continuation
of the Visit C'anada Vzsitez TaraiI, planning far the Niarket Place Park and fiznding for
development of the BMX Park.
Economic Develapment - emphasis is an improvements to t11e Industr-iaT Parks,
additional work on the VTaterfront Development and funding for development incentives.
+City Facilities - prajecxs include fiirading to complete the tender ready design for the
Trade and Convantaon Gentre, xeplacernent of the roof at the Aquatic Centre, and minar
irnprovements to Harboux StatiQn, the Rackwood Park Golf Course and Public Library-
Transat - the cornbined comrnntm ent {carryover and 201 t}} to public transit is $1.87M for
2009-10. This will allow for payment of the unifis already ordered in 2009 and to be
received in 20 1~0 and an additional $600,000 for new acquisitions in 2010.
Peel Plaza -fundimg is not speci~'ically provided for this project as final eosting for the
vario-us components is not yet available. Ainancial model has hawever been developed
that can be used to assess the fiill impact of the project (operating and capital) once the
specifzc detaals are available. The level of capitai expenditure set out in the attached
budget vaall not itnpede this develapment prowideci certain assuriaptions {interest rates,
tirning, assessment ,growth etc} are meti.
Carry Farwards - nhe need to carry foaward funding for proJects was made necessary by
the scope and magnitude of fihe 2049 prograzn. This practice shouId be avoided both for
plazzaning z°easons and fnnancial managenient cansiderations. Capital funding approved in
budget years prior to 20(}9 that has not been committed should no 1onger be considered
available. Likewise the arnounts carried forward fram 2009 should onIy be available in
the cuz7rent year.
3
4
In future years capital allocations shauld be cansidereci valid for na langer thann 24
months. This tirne frame wi1T allaw sufficient time for the necessary land acquisition,
design and tendering to be undertaken and actual construcnion ta begin. Failing that, the
project should be reccansidered or elizninated.
R.ecommexcdation
That Cammon Counczl approwe a carryover f,rorn 20(}9 of $15,624,500 and the list af
capital prajects submitted in Schedule A amd the 2010 General Fund Capital Budget in
the net arnount of $15,911,10(} and the Iist of capital projects as submitted in Schedule A.
It is further recommendecl that any unused capital allocatiQns established prior to 2049 be
deemed to have expired and that the 2009 cazry-forward amounts expire at December 31,
2010.
