PURPOSE: At the December 2, 2015 Budget Meeting of Council, Capital Plan item 26, CN Centre Video Display and Cameras was referred to Administration for a report with further information on the rationale for the project. This report provides further information on the project rationale. POLICY / REGULATORY ANALYSIS: This matter relates to the Sustainable Finance Guidelines. STRATEGIC PRIORITIES: The 2016-2018 Corporate Plan, City Government section, includes the goals of Sustainable Infrastructure and Sustainable Fiscal Management. The capital plan item in question relates to the replacement of an aging piece of infrastructure at CN Centre. Fiscal management is an important consideration with respect to the proposed replacement of this infrastructure. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: This capital plan item is included in the funded section of the 2016-2020 Capital Projects Summary, 2016 – 2020 Provisional Financial Plans document. The $390,000 funding for this project is proposed to come from the General Infrastructure Reinvestment Fund. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: The Problem The existing video score clock and camera system was installed in July 2007. The video score clock consists of four full color video displays, four scoreboard displays, and four illuminated advertising panels.
