RECOMMENDATIONS: The Finance Department respectfully submits the following recommendations: a) That By-law 2020–005, being a By-Law to adopt the 2020 Operating Budget & Business Plans, which includes the 2020 Business Plan for the Holland Marsh Drainage System Joint Municipal Service Board and the Amended 2020-2022 Capital Budgets, be approved by Council at its meeting of January 27, 2020; and b) That Council endorse the 2021 and 2022 operating forecasts tabled on January 13, 2020 as outlined on Schedules 1-3; and c) That Council authorizes the Director of Finance & Treasurer to apply for, accept and adjust the Budgets as a direct result of receiving incremental provincial/federal government funding, provided there is no tax levy impact. 2. PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s approval of the 2020 Operating Budget and Business Plans and 2020-2022 Capital Budgets that were tabled on January 13, 2020. 3. BACKGROUND: The Draft 2020 Operating Budget and Amended 2020-2022 Capital Budgets presented to Council on January 13, 2020 remain unchanged with a proposed increase in 2020 net tax levy requirements of $889,398 or 2.89%. With respect to the 2020-2022 Capital Budgets, totalling $91.1M, also tabled on January 13, 2020, the proposed capital programs, by year through 2022, remain unchanged and include total estimated capital costs of $34.8M (2020), $28.8M (2021) and $27.5M (2022). In accordance with the multi-year budget format introduced in 2019, operating expenditures for the forecast years of 2021 and 2022 include increases in net tax levy requirements of $914,968 (or +2.88%) and $931,699 (or +2.85%), respectively. The ‘Term of Council’ budgets for the forecast years (2021-2022) are consistent with the directional threshold set by Township Council in that tax levy increase was to be no greater than 2.9% in 2020. Page 4 of 56 AGENDA ITEM #9.1 Finance Department Report FR-2020-02 Page 2 The following table summarizes annual tax levy increases as approved (2018-2019), proposed (2020) and forecast through the end of the current Term of Council, in 2022. Which in the case of the forecast years are reviewed annually. Annual Tax Levy Increases (2018‐2022) 3.00% 2.00% 2.89% 2.88% 2.85% 1.00% 2.30% 0.00% 0.00% 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 "Approved" "Approved" "Proposed" "Forecast" "Forecast" The multi-year Term of Council budget model provides guidance to Council, as well as to the public from the perspective of understanding resource allocation requirements to support municipal service level standards and infrastructure investment recommendations. Consultation with Members of Council since tabling the 2020-2022 Budget on January 13, 2020 Since tabling the 2020 Budgets on January 13, 2020 members of Council have engaged in discussion with staff for purposes of seeking clarification regarding specific aspects of the recommended 2020 Operating Budget and 2020-2022 Capital Budgets. Amended 2020-2022 Capital Budgets The Amended 2020-2022 Capital Budgets have a total estimated cost of $91.1 million and include amendments to 20 of the proposed 109 projects. The top five major capital projects remain unchanged from the 2019-2022 (2023) capital budget program approved by Council and include: Township Multi-Purpose Recreation Centre Nobleton Sanitary Sewer – Phase 2, Contract Area 3 Nobleton Loop (10th Concession & 15th Sideroad) 2023 King City Public Library & Seniors Centre King Road (Dufferin to 2585 King Road) Sources of funding for the Term of Council (2019-2022) Capital Budgets, inclusive of those capital projects approved for 2019 @ $29.3M are proposed to be amended as follows: 2020-2022 2019-2022 Taxation $ 17.4 million or 14.4% $ 14.8 million or 14.8% Reserve & Reserve Funds 92.1 million or 76.6% 96.4 million or 76.6% Debentures 10.8 million or 9.0% 10.8 million or 8.6% TOTAL $ 120.3 million $ 125.8 million It is important to note that the aforementioned sources of funding from Reserve & Reserve Funds are directly linked to timely development of the north-east quadrant of the King City Community Plan. Timing issues associated with collection of Development Charges and/or Developer contributions under provisions of a Municipal Capital Facilities Agreement may result in delaying certain infrastructure works and/or use of temporary financing pending receipt of funds. Page 5 of 56 AGENDA ITEM #9.1 Finance Department Report FR-2020-02 Page 3 The 2019-2022 Capital Budget program was developed as strategic investments in municipal infrastructure supporting planned population growth throughout the Township. Similarly, the 2014 Development Charge Background Study, enacted under By-law #2015-100, established the need for four of the five major capital projects noted above in the context of directly supporting service level standards as planned population growth occurs. In the case of Phase 3 (Contract Area 3) of the Nobleton Sanitary Sewer project, it has been approximately ten years since phase 1 works commenced in Nobleton. Over the past 10+ years, the projected cost has continued to increase each year for both the Township and the benefitting property owners. Hence the importance of advancing these works as promptly as possible to mitigate against future cost escalation. Long-term Debenture Financing - 2020-2022 Capital Budgets The Township’s projected outstanding net long-term debt at December 31, 2019 is $22.7 million of which $17.5 million related to tax supported capital works. The residual debenture balance ($5.2 million) relates to Phase 1 Nobleton sanitary sewer and concurrent watermain works, the majority of which will be recovered directly from benefitting property owners. The aforementioned net long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2019 includes debt ($6.1 million) that was refinanced in 2019 as well as new debt ($10.0 million) the Township took on during 2019 to support approved capital works (Graham Sideroad Bridge, King Township Municipal Centre and the King City Library & Seniors Centre).
