This budget has been prepared in support of the priorities adopted by Common Council, PlanSJ, and the need to invest in the City’s capital assets. Each year, the proposed budget is the culmination of a number of months of work from staff in nearly all City departments to ensure that appropriate investments are made in the community’s infrastructure. The General Capital Budget is separate and apart from the capital budget in the Utility fund so does not include water and sanitary sewer work. The budget includes important investments in:  Our transportation system;  Storm water management infrastructure;  Municipal facilities and buildings;  Information technology;  Fleet vehicles:  Our recreation facilities; and  Other municipal assets. This infrastructure enables and enhances the quality of life of our citizens and contributes to our economic prosperity. The net cost of capital expenditures incurred by a City is financed b y way of formal debt obligations and contributions from other funding sources such as the Gas Tax Fund. The annual payments on these debt instruments are made through the operating budget and financed through the tax rate. Current global and local economic conditions have a very real impact on the City’s ability to invest in its assets. The desire for a stable the tax rate, the need to maintain services and the importance of retaining an acceptable debt ratio serve to limit the City’s borrowing capacity. Staff have prepared this budget on the basis that new debt should be kept in the range of $11,000,000. This does not include projects that are funded from other sources nor does it 123 2 include carry over projects from the approved 2011 and 2012 capital budgets. This level of expenditure is much better aligned with the fiscal capacity of the City of Saint John. Establishing the 2013 General Capital Program Staff followed a similar process to arrive at this proposed budget for the General Capital Fund as was pursued in 2012. Departments followed a process of submitting necessary projects for consideration which included the scope of work, a set of evaluation criteria, and the projected cost of the work. All of the funding requests from City departments, agencies, boards, and commissions were collated and a small team consisting of senior staff from Finance and Administrative Services and Growth and Development Services prepared the proposed budget with input from the City Manager. It should be noted that funding requests from various community groups were considered in the budget process for 2013 as well. In the instructions provided to City departments for the capital budget process, the following information had to accompany each request for funding:  Project Description  Funds Required: o City Share o Other Share (Province, Federal Government, Other)  An assessment of the relative significance of the project in terms of: o Public or occupational health and safety; o An existing contractual requirement; o Whether the project is an identified Council priority; o Whether co-funding or cost sharing is available; o Whether the investment will increase municipal revenues or reduce City operating expenses; o Improved efficiency or effectiveness; o Whether the investment protects City assets;  An examination of whether the project implements the City’s municipal plan and is consistent with the vision, directions, and policies of Plan SJ.  Whether the project is linked to a project identified for funding in the Utility Capital Fund or is linked to another capital investment (for example: a transportation project that is linked to a storm water or sanitary sewer project). As was the case in 2012, the number and value of capital funding requests for 2013 far exceeds the amount of money available in the budget. As a result, though many important projects were put forward it was necessary to prioritize the requests. The Proposed 2013 General Capital Fund Budget (Appendix A) Transportation and Storm Water (Drainage) Infrastructure Renewal Consistent with Council’s priorities and the input received from citizens, the largest capital investments will be made in our roads and sidewalks and the ongoing efforts to address the drainage issues in the community. 124 3 Ongoing storm water management will be a significant component of the implementation of PlanSJ. Encouraging more compact and higher density development in the Primary Development Area means that our underground systems have to be able to handle the resulting storm water flows. Storm water management projects will be funded in the Boars Head Rd, Douglas Ave, Lower West Side, Loch Lomond Rd and University Ave areas in 2013. In addition to the increased funding commitment for asphalt renewal in the annual operating budget the 2013 Capital budget makes an additional $1.3M provision for curb and sidewalk renewal and $1.0M for asphalt and road repairs through the Gas Tax Funding agreements. Reconstruction of Somerset St, and reconstruction of portions of Duke St, Loch Lomond Rd, Westmorland Rd are identified, as well as funding for preliminary design work for needed improvements to Hillcrest Dr and Prince William St. Economic Development The emphasis in the 2013 budget is on making targeted investments that will spur additional economic activity in our region. Provision is made to move forward with the Barge Terminal project in the Lorneville Industrial area in order to create new business opportunities for the manufacturing sector in our community. There is also an allocation to allow for the acquisition of additional property in the McAllister Industrial site in order to continue to be able to provide development ready sites for new or expanding businesses. The City will also invest in the extension of road infrastructure in the North End in order to facilitate a new multi-residential development in the area. As well, a significant investment is proposed for needed upgrades to the Trade and Convention Centre in order to encourage additional meeting and convention activity in the City. Recreation, Parks and Public Spaces Recreation and Leisure infrastructure play a key role in establishing the quality of life in a community. The largest single investment in 2013 will be in Phase 2 of the renewal of the Nick Nicole Community Centre in the North End. This project is consistent with the direction of PlanSJ and the Council’s commitment to invest in our priority neighbourhoods. It is also proposed that the City begin a multi-year program of investments in the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. This facility is now almost 30 years old and in need of sustained renewal. The Aquatic Centre is an anchor facility in the Urban Core and enhances the attractiveness of the community as a place to live, work and invest. In addition, needed investments will be made in Harbour Station (chiller, fire alarms) and Mispec Park (Walkway to Beach). A $250,000 envelope has been provided to maintain a range of recreation infrastructure. The outcome of the PlaySJ deliberations will influence the nature of the particular investments in sportsfields, playgrounds and other assets in 2013 as well as capital planning in future years. 125 4 Public Safety Recurring investments in safety equipment for the Fire Service (Gas Detection, Bunker Gear, Extrication Tools), a modern radio communication system for the Police Service and continued implementation of the SJEMO preparedness initiatives (Evacuation Signage, Public Notification System) are included in the 2013 budget. In addition, the City will purchase a new fire pumper to replace a vehicle in Station #1 as part of a planned replacement schedule. Engine 1 is a front line Fire Apparatus positioned on Leinster Street that was scheduled to be replaced last year. It is one of the busiest pieces of apparatus with its primary role being fire suppression throughout the Primary Development Area – Uptown, North, East and West. As anticipated, the apparatus has depreciated to a point where there are significant repair issues pending. The broad nature of the industrial and residential fire risks in Saint John dictates that our firefighters be equipped with a diverse set of emergency response skills. These skills need to be acquired and maintained on a regular basis in order for firefighters to safely and competently respond to our community’s hazards as and when required. The standards, regulators, and community expect that our responders are fully competent to perform the task and role that they are being asked to perform. An appropriately designed fire training tower will enable first responders the opportunity to train on the diverse nature of the hazards within the Saint John Community. Technology and Communications The City’s information technology hardware and software tools have become backbone infrastructure in the delivery of emergency services, financial administration, safe water, recreation and a host of other services. Annual investments are required to maintain the system and to assure its functionality. A portion of the annual cost is funded through the City’s replacement reserve fund. Fleet Replacement Effective and efficient road maintenance, sidewalk clearing, and servicing water lines are dependent on the availability of proper equipment that functions well. The City uses a life-cycle approach to managing these assets with a view to determining the optimal replacement point and avoiding wasteful expenditures on maintenance for vehicles that have exceeded their useful life. The purchase of these assets is to be funded entirely through the internal replacement reserve. A detailed list of the proposed vehicles will be provided to Council prior to proceeding to tender. The proposed capital budget also includes the purchase of one additional Handi-bus for the Transit Commission in order to ensure that those most in need of public transportation benefit from the service. 126 5 Waterfront Development The City has invested heavily in various waterfront development projects and these have proven to be successful community attractions. These investments are also in keeping with the principles of PlanSJ that encourage strategic investment in the primary development area. Minor capital expenditures in 2013 will focus on maintaining the existing infrastructure (Boardwalk, Harbour Passage, Loyalist Plaza). It is hoped that the largest single investment will come from the private sector on the Fundy Quay site. The City completed acquisition of the Coast Guard property in 2012 and proposals have now been solicited from the development community. This is a prime site in the heart of the Uptown and the City should be insisting on a signature development that will be a source of pride in the community. The City will be responsible for environmental, legal, engineering and other services as part of the development process and funds are provided accordingly. Other Considerations There are a number of projects at various stages of development that are worthy of consideration. Exhibition Project – This is a major regional project that requires a substantial public investment in order to proceed. The Exhibition Association is pursuing this development and is seeking funding contributions from all three levels of government. The previous Council supported a funding commitment contingent on the project sponsors securing the full funding for the project and an understanding that the City would not be called upon to fund operations. This Council may want to consider a similar conditional approach in order to provide the Exhibition Association with some leverage when dealing with other partners however the project cannot be seen to interfere with Council’s priority commitment to Safe Clean Drinking Water. Mispec Building – The Province and the City are committed to making additional investments in the walkway to the beach and providing ongoing summer maintenance. The existing on site building is beyond its useful life and the lack of change rooms and washrooms limits the enjoyment of the park. A major investment in canteen facilities is not warranted by the City however staff are investigating the installation of temporary washroom facilities and will be reporting back to Council. Trade Convention Centre – This facility generates business opportunities for hotels, restaurants, taxis and a range of other service providers. The City has a multi-year contract with the Hilton organization to operate the Trade Centre and with that an obligation to properly maintain the facility in order to ensure its competitiveness. It is anticipated that the allocation in 2013 will be the first in a multi-year commitment to restore the centre. Aquatic Centre – The Canada Games Aquatic Centre is approaching 30 years of service. This is unique facility is a core piece of public infrastructure and is ideally situated to support the direction of PlanSJ. The facility is however in need of modernization. The budget makes provision for some essential work on building systems but also provides funding for the City to develop a multi-year renewal program to guide future capital investments. 127 6 Market Tower Renovations – The City has applied under the Canada Infrastructure Improvement Fund to cost share needed upgrades to this building. The amount of work to be carried out will depend on the level of available funding. Development Incentives – There is a small envelope to honour ‘existing’ commitments for residential incentives. Eligibility for funding under these former programs expires early in 2014. It is considered more important at this time to invest in our public infrastructure (storm drainage, roads, recreation) to encourage additional development than to provide development incentives. Development incentives that are tied to the implementation of neighbourhood plans could be considered in future capital budgets. Private Sector Participation – Discussions have been held with private sector partners interested in cost sharing various municipal projects. These are matters of negotiation and Council should be prepared to take advantage of these opportunities should mutually beneficial arrangements be concluded. Gas Tax Funding – The increased investments in roads and curbs is to be funded through the Gas Tax program. An amendment to the existing project list will be required and a new multi -year program will have to be submitted for the years 2014 and beyond. Carry-over projects – It often takes longer than one construction season to complete infrastructure projects. Likewise, delays in tender awards or property acquisition or other issues can sometimes mean that projects funded in one year are completed in a subsequent year. There are a number of capital projects already approved in the 2012 capital program that are currently underway or will be proceeding in the coming months. (Appendix B) CONCLUSION With limited resources the City must make hard decisions on the best use of public funds. A balanced approach guided by PlanSJ and Council’s priorities that sees needed investments in our roads and transportations systems, provides the tools and equipment necessary to deliver services in an effective and efficient manner, makes strategic investments in our recreation infrastructure, supports redevelopment of our priority neighbourhoods, continues to address the challenging drainage issues across the community and encourages additional economic developm ent in our City is proposed. The overall capital program is to be funded by internal reserves ($3,468,000), other agencies ($1,777,300), Gas Tax Funding ($3,225,000) and borrowing ($11,636,600). The projected borrowing is in line with our fiscal capacity and will allow the City to maintain a sound debt ratio. There are a number of additional capital investment opportunities open to the City however these are contingent on the outcome of other events and the availability of additional capital funds. The City should be prepared to act on these projects should the opportunity arise. 128 7 RECOMMENDATION That Common Council approve the 2013 Capital Budget for the General Fund in the amount of $20,106,900 (gross) with contributions from other sources of $8,470,300 yielding a capital budget in the amount of $11,636,600 (net) as set out in Appendix A.
