Page 5 TO: Chair and Members Community Services Committee FROM: Sharon Donald Director of Budgets and Financial Planning DATE: July 22, 2015 SUBJECT: Capital Project Quarterly Variance Report – March 31, 2015 REPORT NO: CS-8-2015-1 ____________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION THAT the recommendation related to the individual Tax Supported Capital Budget project, as summarized in Schedule A to Report No. CS-8-2015-1, BE RECEIVED. ORIGIN In 2005, Council adopted Policy AD:51 Capital Budget Preparation, Monitoring and Reporting. The revised policy requires staff to submit formal reports to the Standing Committees and Council on the status of the District of Muskoka’s capital program as at March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st. This report deals with the Community Services portion of the Tax Supported Capital Budget. The purpose of this report is to provide the various Standing Committees with the opportunity to review the status of individual projects, highlight material variances, identify projects for closure and to amend the budget where appropriate. ANALYSIS Attached is a schedule of capital expenditures incurred to March 31, 2015 (Schedule A), as reported on May 14, 2015. It is important to note that once a project is closed, it will no longer appear on Schedule A. Schedule A provides the current status of each open project. Within the schedule, the PY (Prior Year) Budget Open Projects column includes prior year budgets carried forward. The 2015 Annual Budget is the current year Capital Budget and Forecast approved April 20, 2015. The Approved Amendments column contains all amendments approved since the commencement of the project. The Total Amended Budget column is the sum of PY Budget Open Projects, 2015 Annual Budget and Approved Amendments columns. The LTD Actuals 2015 column contains charges incurred from the start of the project to March 31, 2015. The Budget Remaining 2015 column is the difference between the Total Amended Budget and the LTD Actuals 2015 columns. The Forecast to Complete column includes the remaining balance on contracts awarded and purchase orders outstanding as well as all other total forecasted expenditures required to complete the project. The Favourable/(Unfavourable) Proj. Variance column is the difference between the Budget Remaining 2015 and the Forecast to Complete columns. Page 1 Tenders awarded to date along with comments indicating estimated costs and/or future tender dates are noted to give Council an idea of timing for budgeted projects. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS Within the Community Services capital budget, $525,553 remains to be spent as of March 31, 2015. The projected forecast to complete all 4 projects is $525,553, leaving no projected variance as shown in Schedule A attached. Impact on Financing There is no impact on financing, as the projects are expected to be completed on budget.
