Vice-Chair Black commented that the Harris government was advising the Municipalities to expect significant reductions in their grants. He suggested that the recommendations made at a meeting held last Spring to simplify government in Muskoka be looked at again once the impact ofthe reductions are known.
Mr. Calvert advised that the Budget Committee has suggested that the budget guidelines be deferred until it is known what the impact ofthe reductions will mean to Muskoka. Councillor Young questioned the wording ofthe Township ofRoxborough's resolution, in particular, the reference to downloading ofschool boards. He understood from comments made at the last AMO meeting that the Province would not be downloading onto another level ofgovernment as a way of reducing their monetary problems.
He expressed concerns with the Sweeny Report's recommendation that the Muskoka Board ofEducation amalgamate with the Simcoe Board due to the difference in the provincial grant structure between the two areas, As the Muskoka Board ofEducation is perceived to be a rich board for tax purposes, he feels the grants to the Simcoe Board will be reduced and Muskoka's taxpayers will end up supporting the education system in Simcoe. He felt that taxes in Muskoka would increase not decrease as claimed by the Province under such a combination. The report also recommends that larger regions be created to support the costs ofFrench language schools,
Councillor Pinckard suggested that additional information be requested from the Muskoka Board ofEducation on this matter" In the long term, it may result in significant savings and he felt that members ofDistrict Council should be learning as much as possible about the situation and its long term impacts.
Councillor Kennedy agreed that everyone is looking at the short-term effects rather than the long term effects. He noted that the joint Separate School Board has been operating very successfully for years" He agreed that more information was needed regarding the long term impact ofthis proposal on Muskoka,
Councillor Pinckard expressed concern with these types ofreports as they do not provide any operational modelling for the future, i.e., a 5 to 10 year performance and structure analysis"
Councillor Yousg expressed concern with incentive funding due to lack of provincial support in the long term as has happened in the past
Councillor Kennedy felt the difference in future incentive funding over the past is that the upper levels ofgovernment are attempting to cut costs rather than finding ways to spend money, He believes there is a strong sincere effort province-wide to hold the line on finances. Ifthe amalgamation will save the taxpayers money, he felt that everyone should take a very positive look at the matter" g) Muskoka Animal Artists Exhibition
District Chair Adams reported that the Town ofHuntsville donated $5,000 to this venture and historically the District has been requested to match the 5;
amount from the Area Municipality. He felt the request was for a modest amount and noted that the event has been extremely successful. Ifthe money is in the budget, he recommended that the District provide the $500.00 grant to this group as a one time offer.
Mr. Calvert advised that due to the efforts ofthis group, this international exhibition was brought to Canada and subsequently to Algonquin Park for the first time. Because ofthis exhibition, restoration ofthe old Algonquin Park Museumbuilt in 1953 was completed as an education centre. He felt this was a significant piece ofinfrastructure that would help promote economic growth in Muskoka. Lodges across the District this Fall are advertising the event to attract guests.
Councillor Pinckard spoke in support ofthe grant and reported that the occupancy rate at every lodge in the Lake ofBays area has been 100% Some lodges on Hwy #60 are reporting full occupancy until well past Thanksgiving.
District Chair Adams expressed the opinion that by approving this request, it shows that the District is prepared to recognize success and sets a tenure for more modest requests.
Councillor Young acknowledged the economic spinoffs ofthis successful event, but he could not support the municipal tax levy being used for grants to organizations, etc. He felt the District would be setting a precedent and opening the doors for more grant requests in the future. Every year the number ofrequests for grants increases.
Moved by G. Adams and seconded by T. Pinckard
T HAT the District Municipality ofMuskoka contribute $500.00 to the Society ofAnimal Artists Exhibition.
Defeated
Vice Chair Black was required to break a tie and voted against the motion.
NEW BUSINESS
a) Market Value Assessment
Councillor Pinckard questioned ifanyone had any additional information regarding the status ofassessment appeals in Muskoka...
District Chair Adams reported that Mr. Robert Topp ofthe Muskoka Lakes Association had advised him that all future appeals will be suspended until the
/9b appeal ofthe Assessment Appeal Board's decision has been heard by the Ontario Municipal Board.
Councillor Pinckard commented on the large amount the Township ofLake of Bays is paying to the Muskoka Board for education purposes. He questioned if the rural areas were contributing a higher amount towards education per student than the urban centres. Councillor Pinckard reported that some taxpayers in the Township ofLake ofBays are not able to pay their taxes and this is creating a financial problem for the Township. He noted that the Township has reached its credit limit at the bank and wondered what the penalty would be if they are not able to pay the District and the Board of Education their share of the levy. He felt the consequences ofthe Market Value Assessment to residents in the Township ofLake ofBays was devastating. Unless some changes are made soon in the assessment procedures to alleviatethe tax burden on the Township's residents, they could end up in receivership.
Councillor Young stated that the Township ofMuskoka Lakes has reserves for working funds to help with current emergencies, but noted the Township could face the same consequences if the present method ofcalculating market value assessment continues.

MEMORANDUlVI
TO: Chair and Members of Administration and Finance Committee
FROM: John McRae Commissioner of Finance and Administration
DATE: August 31, 1995
SUBJECT: Funding for West Parry Sound Health Centre
RECOMMENDATION: THAT the Clerk write a letter to Ben P Pelkinen to advise him the District Municipality of Muskoka's policy is to not provide capital grants for health care facilities outside the geographic boundaries of Muskoka
ORIGIN: The District Municipality ofMuskoka received a letter from Mr. Ben P Pelkinen requesting the District for financial assistance for the West Parry Sound Health Centre - Emerency Department Renovations
ANALYSIS: Over the years the District has received numerous requests from the Orillia Hospital Board for assistance in funding their hospital expansions. These requests have been made due to the extensive use of their facilities by southern Gravenhurst and the large number of referrals from other parts of Muskoka because of their specialized care units All requests have been denied.
The practice of the District has been to fund only hospitals and other health care facilities that are in Muskoka The rational for this is that hospital funding horn the Province is generally based on the client base and those hospitals providing specialized care would receive a higher rate of funding. The District also took the position that if each Region or County provided hospitals there should be no need for sharing funding as over the long term it would balance out (ie south Gravenhurst goes to Orillia, south east Parry Sound goes to Huntsville)

ORIGIN Request from the Town of Huntsville. ANALY.slS A walking trail has been constructed across the lands surrounding the Golden Pheasant Water Pollution Control Plant. There is a lengthy access road into the facility and seemingly, the access road is being used as a parking area for people who wish to access the trail. The cars block access to the facility. Given the sensitivity of the site it is important that full and complete access be available at all times. If operators are unable to access the site with all necessary equipment and vehicles on an immediate basis, considerable negative consequences can and will occur. Also, in permitting the walking trail to be constructed, it was understood and agreed that users would be required to keep to the trail and all other portions of the property would be "off limits". Pursuant to section 112 of The District Municipality of Muskoka Act and paragraph 131 of section 210 of the Municipal Act, the District may pass by-laws prohibiting the parking or leaving of motor vehicles on the property. There are two items that deserve consideration: (a) a decision must be made as to whether or not to install "No Parking" signs. If the signs are installed, it is much easier to successfully issue a ticket and it makes it clear to members of the public that parking is not permitted. The "I didn't know I wasn't supposed to park here" argument is taken away. On the other 77 ~ '-.) recycled paper Page 2 hand, the signs do have a bit of a visual impact. I recommend the installation of the signs as it is preferable to let members of the public know that no parking is allowed and (hopefully) have them find another location as opposed to having an employee tied up debating the validity of tickets; and Ib) it is desirable to designate an information officer. It is suggested that the Town By-law Enforcement Officers be designated as they are familiar with the processes involved. Respectfully submitted, DGR:sb David G. Royston, District Solicitor.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Mr. Smith proposes to provide the above noted services at a cost of $15,000 There is no allocation for this item in the District's bUdget There is an allocation of $120,000 for solid waste management initiatives in 1995 (project no. 576 in the capital budget) but all of this has been assigned to diversion projects However, not all of these funds are likely to be spent in 1995 At the very least, the modification of the Bracebridge and Gravenhurst systems must be undertaken at some point in time It would be extremely helpful if this work were to be completed prior to January 1, 1996. To this end Mr. Smith has agreed to commence work and confine his billings to a maximum of $2,000 in 1995 It is recommended that this proposal be accepted OTHER COSTS: Mr. Smith's proposal covers software costs only Hardware costs include the installation of a low end PC and modem at the Huntsville and Muskoka Lakes sites. These would be reallocated from an office base as new equipment is purchased for accounting/engineering use. The estimated cost is about $1,000 per site Digital indication equipment is already in place at the Muskoka Lakes site and a service call (at an estimated cost of $300) is all that is needed to set it up and put it into operation The weigh scale at the Huntsville site is not equipped with digital indication equipment. Orillia Scale Service, which maintains the scale at all the sites, estimates the cost of installing this equipment at $5,000 None of these costs will be incurred this year and will be subject to budget approval in 1996 AJ.

ORIGIN Mr. MacAllister has requested an Encroachment Permit to allow the encroachments to continue. ANALYSIS Attached is a copy of a sketch indicating the encroachment. Mr. MacAllister is the owner of the building adjacent to Road No. 39 in Dorset known as Langford Landing (formerly Clayton's Store). As illustrated the overhang and concrete step encroach upon District Road No.39. The overhang and concrete step have been on the lands for a lengthy period of time and are not interfering with the existing or proposed use of the road allowance at this time. Some recent improvements in the form of four 6" x 6" pillars to support the overhang have been added. The Public Works Department has inspected the encroachment and has no objection to an Encroachment Permit being issued. Thus, it would be appropriate to grant an Encroachment Permit to the owners to continue to use and maintain the same subject to the standard form Encroachment Permit. If the encroachment falls into disrepair, becomes a hazard or must be removed to accommodate road requirements, the applicant is required to immediately remove the encroachment at his expense.

The newly-introduced Canadian Transportation Act has NO provision for the continued funding of non-VIA Rail passenger trains Implications for Ontario are serious The regular passenger services on the Algoma Central and Ontario Northland would no longer receive an Ottawa subsidy for a percentage of their losses. There is some question whether or not this means Ontario Northland service only between North Bay and Toronto, where it runs on CN lines, or covers regular passenger train operations right to Moosonee Regardless, the services will end Note that excursion services like the Agawa Canyon Tour and Polar Bear Express are operated separately from regular passenger services. What Can T2000 Members and the General Public Do? Please get in touch with both your MP and MPP, and encourage others to follow your example, asking about things like this: • ts the politician aware of this change? If not, why not? Note that asking a provincial politician may require him/her to talk with their federal counterpart and, at your urging, bring both of them to think of transportation as a "system", not a series of provincial or federal fiefdorns • If railways discontinue passenger services, will there be replacement of services lost through more money for roads, buses, and construction of new highways to reach areas not presently served? Do the politicians know how much that will cost (including financing charges, of course) and will it be more than the subsidy now going to the ACR and ONR? • If access to parts of Ontario is removed, what compensation will there be for tourist operators in those regions, and for municipalities which depend on the "multiplier" or "spin-off" effect of tourist travel? • The alternative, which you might ask about as well, would be for governments to abandon large portions of northern Ontario altogether. causing complete de-population Probably NO politician would admit it could happen, so ask them how they plan to solve the passenger train problem before their next election • Make it clear you want some serious consideration for your concerns and will not be satisfied with a pat on the head and assurances everything will be just fine, since this is just another attack on passenger trains • Do not allow yourself to be "put off' by a politician at one level of government claiming that only the "other" level can do anything Remind them that you are the SAME taxpayer, regardless of who is taking your money, then ask now they plan to help you If You Don't Get Satisfactory Answers, Please Let Us Know! • Contact us by mail, phone or fax at one of the locations above DCf:t::'IVEO 'II~ 3 - 1QQ~ THE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY OF MUSKOKA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1994 THE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY OF MUSKOKA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1994 INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Auditors' Report 1 Consolidated Balance Sheet 2 Consolidated Statement of Operations 3 Notes to the Financial Statements 4 Trust Funds Auditors' Report 5 Balance Sheet 6 Statement of Continuity 6 Notes to the Financial Statement Trust 7 HOWARD S HARRIS, CA DONALD T.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Financial Statements of the Municipality are the representation of Management prepared in accordance with accounting policies prescribed for Ontario Municipalities by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. Since precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of periodic Financial Statements necessarily involves the use of estimates and approximations. These have been made using careful j udgement.s . (a) (i) Basis of Consolidation These statements reflect the assets, liabilities, sources of financing and expenditure of Revenue Funds and Reserves and includes the activities of all committees of Council. All inter-fund assets, liabilities, sources of financing and expenditures have been eliminated with the exception of loans or advances between Reserve Funds and any other fund of the Municipality and the resulting interest income and expenditures. (ii) Non-Consolidated Entities There are no non-consolidated entities. (iii) Trust funds and their related operations administered by the Municipality are not consolidated, but are reported separat.ely on the "Trust Funds Statement of Continuit.y and Balance Sheet". • .4 •. 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued (b) Basis of Accounting (i) Sources of financing and expenditures are reported on the accrual basis of accounting with the exception of principal and interest charges against operations in the periods in which they are paid. (ii) The accrual basis of accounting recognized revenues as they become available and measurable: expenditures are recognized as they are incurred and measurable as a result of receipt of goods or services and the creation of a legal obligation to pay. (iii) Capit.al Assets The historical cost and accumulated amortization for capital assets are not recorded for municipal purposes. Capital assets are reported as an expenditure on the Consolidated Statement of Operation in the year of acquisition. (iv) Capital Outlay to be Recovered in Future Years "Capital outlay to be recovered in future years", which represents the outstanding principal portion of unmatured long term liabilities for Municipal Expenditure or Capital Funds transferred to other organizations, is reported on the "Consolidated Balance Sheet". · .4 .. 2. NET LONG TERM LIABILITIES 1994 1993 (a) The balance of net liabilities reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet is made up of the following: Total long term liabilities incurred on behalf of the District, other Municipalities and Municipal Enterprises outst.anding at December 31 amount to $ 19,293,516. $ 20,179,525. Of the long term liabilities shown above, the responsibility for payment of principal and interest charges has been assumed by unconsolidated local boards, Schoolboards, Municipal Enterprises and Utilities and other Municipalities. At December 31 the outstanding principal amount of this liabilit.y is 7,555,378. 7,077,150. Net Long Term Liabilities at December 31 $ 11. 738,138. $ 13,]02,375. · .4 .. 2. NET LONG TERM LIABILITIES - continued (b) Of the net long term liabilities reported in (a) of this note, $ 7,623,138. in principal payments are payable from 1995 to 1999 and $ 4,115,000. from 2000 to 2004. (c) The long term liabilities issued in the name of the municipality have received approval of the ontario Municipal Board for those approved on or before December 31, 1992. Those approved after January 1, 1993 have been approved by by-law. The annual principal and interest payments required to service these liabilities are within the annual debt repayment limit prescribed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. (d) The municipality is contingently liable for long term liabilities with respect to those for which the responsibility for the payment of principal and interest has been assumed by other Municipalities, Municipal Enterprises and School Boards. The total amount outstanding as at December 31, 1994 is $ 7,555,378. (1993 - $ 7,077,150.) and is not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 3. RESERVES AND RESERVE FUNDS The total balances of reserves and reserve funds of $ 3,051,793. (1993 - $ 2,544,757.) and $ 3,468,993. (1993 - $ 5,041,608.) respectively are made up of the following: • • 4 •• 3. RESERVES AND RESERVE FUNDS - continued Reserves set aside for specific purpose by Council - for acquisition of capital assets $ 239,540. $ 233,434. - for working capital 2,812,253. 2,311,323. $ 3,051,793. $ 2,544,757.

Reserve funds set aside for specific purpose by legislation, regulation or agreement - for pollution control 24,316. 504,954. Total Reserve Funds $ 3,468,993. $ 5,041. 608 . 4. CHARGES FOR NET LONG TERM LIABILITIES Total charges for the year for net Long Term Liabilities which are reported on the "Consolidated Statement of Operations" are as follows: 1994 1993 Principal $ 1,364,237. $ 1,266,149. Interest 1,245,965. 1,143,784. $ 2,610,202. $ 2,409,933. 5. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES There are pending litigation matters which could result in judgements against the Municipality amounting to $ 7,589,500. Of this amount $ 7,585,000. is covered by the District insurance. These costs have not been reflected in the Financial Report. · .4 .. 6. TRUST FUNDS Trust funds administered by the Municipality amounting to $ 236,992. (1993 - $ 282,028.) have not been included in the "Consolidated Balance Sheet" nor have their operations been included in the "Consolidated Statement of Operations". 7. MUNICIPAL FUND BALANCES AT DECEMBER 31 (a) The balances on the "Consolidated Statement of operations" of the Municipal deficit of $ 25,312,080. (1993 - $ 12,010,506.) at December 31 are comprised of the following: 1994 1993. - for general i.ncrease (reduction) of taxation s ( 170,731.) $ ( 115,650.) - for general (reduction) of user charges 1,254.) 22,177.) $ 171,895.) $ 137,827.) - acquisit.ion of capital assets to be recovered through taxation or user charges $ 3,200,000. $ 1,500,000. - acquisition of capital assets to be financed from the proceeds of long term liabillties 15,400,000. 7,000,000. - acquisition of capital asset.s to be recovered through reserves and reserve funds 6,883,975. 3,648,333. $ 25,483,975. $ 12,148,333. $ 25,312,080. $ 12,010.506. (b) Approved policy has been followed for the pendi.ng issue of long term liabilities and for those commitments to be financed from revenue beyond the term of Council. 8. The municipality makes contributions to the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Fund (O.M.E.R.S.), which is a mUlti-employer plan, on behalf of 237 members of its staff. The plan is a defined benefit plan which specifies the amount of the retirement. benefit to be received by the employees based on the length of service and rates of pay. The amount contributed to O.M.E.R.S. for 1994 was $ 495,219. (1993 - $ 507,155.) for current service and is included as an expendit.ure on the "Consolidated Statement of Operations". • • 4 •. 9. SOCIAL CONTRACT The Social Contract Act requires municipalities to reduce expenditures by a specified amount in each of the years 1993, 1994 and 1995. Unconditional grants will be reduced by a corresponding amount each year. The sectoral agreement between the Provincial Government and the municipal and health sector, however, provides for the automatic deferral of 25% of the 1993 Social Contract target amount and the corresponding reduction of unconditional grants until 1996. For the District of Muskoka, the target amount for each year is $ 149,596. and the amount deferred is $ 37,399. 10. Budgets established for Capital Funds, Reserves and Reserve Funds are based on a project oriented basis, the cost of which may be carried out over one or more years. As such, they are not directly comparable with current year actual amounts and budgets have therefore not been reflected on the "Consolidated Stat.ement of Operations". 11. AGREEMENT WITH ONTARIO CLEAN WATER AGENCY During fiscal 1994, the Municipality received $ 315,624. from the Province of Ontario toward the construction of certain capital projects. Effective April 1, 1993 the Government of Ontario changed its grant-based capital funding system to a loan-based system. Under the Capital Investment Plan Act, 1993, the Municipality issued a 20-year debenture in favor of the ontario Clean Water Agency. The debenture is unsecured, bears interest adjusted annually and is repayable in semi-annual instalments. Since the obligation to make payments to the OCWA arises only when, and to the extent that, the Municipality receives payments from the Province in an amount sufficient to pay the semi-annual instalments on account of this debenture, there is no effective long-term obligation. Accordingly, the proceeds are accounted for as a capital grant in the year received. Capital advances from OCWA during the year $ 315,624. Debenture payable December 31 $ 315,624. HOWARD S ..

While this is very disturbing at this time of year Council is genuinely concerned that municipalities will further suffer financial strain by downloading School Board and County funding cuts.
