1 2014 Approved Budget Your 2014 Municipal Tax Dollars at Work 1

2 A Message from the Mayor Budgets are essentially two-sided roadmaps: On one side, they help us to look ahead and make adjustments and decisions based on new information and shifting priorities. The other side allows us to evaluate our prior assumptions, projections and decisions as the budget unfolds and life happens. When we develop the city s budget we seek a balance between the fiscal pressures within the community and the facilities and services that our residents rely upon and use. Simply put, we must effectively manage the associated costs while providing significant value to taxpayers. With the 2014 budget, there was considerable discussion around service choices, infrastructure, and the long-term financial plan. There was also tremendous support to increase investment in economic development to expand our commercial and industrial tax base and relieve some pressure on residential property taxes while creating opportunities for more jobs. Our process included a city-wide public meeting in January (which included an online component), an online survey, and councillor-led community meetings across the city. We heard from many citizen delegations on a variety of items under consideration. Individual members of council also received s directly on a wide variety of budget issues. The approved budget will increase taxes by 3.5 per cent which includes.93 per cent for the Joseph Brant Hospital levy or $12.7 for each $100,000 of residential urban assessment. When combined with Halton Region and the boards of education, the overall property tax rate increase is 1.49 percent. Collectively, staff and council must choose to invest in Burlington responsibly by facing our challenges head-on and in a proactive way. At the heart of that proactivity is a three-pronged approach to effective and efficient service delivery through Results-Based Accountability, Business Process Management, and Service-Based Budgeting. Ultimately this new approach will result in a healthy, robust and strong organization that will continue to deliver services with a focus on customer excellence to better serve our residents. I d like to take this opportunity to thanks staff and council for their hard work on the 2014 budget and to acknowledge the thoughtful decisions they have facilitated along the way. Thank you, Mayor Rick Goldring

5 Competitive Property Taxes Your tax dollar Who provides your municipal services? The City of Burlington gets $0.42 per $1.00 of residential property tax The City of Burlington collects taxes for the city, Halton Region and the Halton District School Boards. For each 2014 residential dollar collected approximately 42 per cent goes to the city, 36 per cent goes to Halton Region and 22 per cent goes to the Halton District School Boards. The amount that stays in the City of Burlington: 41.5% City of Burlington Fire prevention and protection services Licensing and permits Local boards (libraries, museums, Burlington Art Centre, etc.) Parks and recreational services Transit Transportation services (e.g. traffic signals) Parking Halton Region GreenCart, recycling and waste collection Social housing (Including seniors) Public health and ambulance services Employment and social services Halton Regional Police services Conservation authorities The amount that goes to Halton Region: 36.2% The amount that goes to Boards of Education: 22.3% Roads and Parks Maintenance (snow removal and pothole repair) 5

6 Where does the money come from? This chart illustrates the city s budgeted sources of revenue for The city s approved budgeted revenue for 2014 is approximately $209.4 million. Most revenue comes from property taxes roughly 62 per cent (over $129.0 million). As well, 2.3 per cent ( $4.8 million) of the total city funding is a separate levy for the city s contribution to the redevelopment of the Joseph Brant Hospital. Senior government grants from the federal and provincial governments contributes another 3.4 per cent ($7.1 million), and the city generates approximately 32.7 per cent ($68.4 million) from all other sources, such as user fees and corporate revenues. Total Approved Operating Budget $209,393,073 Senior government grants (Federal and Provincial) User fees (registrations, licensing, etc.) and external recoveries Other corporate revenues (such as investment income, supplementary taxes, PILs, Hydro contribution) Total property tax revenue city services $7,138,263 $36,360,676 $32,077,923 $129,016,211 User Fees & External Recoveries: 17.4% Other Corporate Revenues: 15.3% Total property tax revenue Joseph Brant Hospital $4,800,000 City of Burlington Property Taxes: 61.6% Senior Government Grants: 3.4% Joseph Brant Hospital Levy: 2.3% 6

8 City of Burlington s taxes are competitive As with all municipalities, the City of Burlington strives to strike the right balance for its residents: maintaining existing services, programs and infrastructure and providing new services, while minimizing tax increases. In a climate of increasing costs, this can be a challenge. Burlington s residential property taxes remain below the group average when compared to similar homes in municipalities across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) residential comparison by municipality (Detached bungalow) 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 Milton Source: BMA 2013 Study Halton Hills Burlington Richmond Hill Oakville Group Average Hamilton Mississauga Whitby Oshawa Vaughan Markham 8 HALTON Milton Halton Hills Burlington Oakville PEEL Caledon Brampton Mississauga YORK King Vaughan Lake Ontario Newmarket Aurora Stouffville Richmond DURHAM Hill Markham Pickering Ajax Whitby Oshawa TORONTO

9 Ontario municipalities get just 10.1 per cent out of every tax dollar you pay (federal, provincial and municipal) When you consider all the taxes that you, as a homeowner in Burlington, pay to the federal, provincial and municipal governments, the lion s share is taken by the federal and provincial governments. The City of Burlington receives only a small amount of your total tax dollars through property taxes in fact, only about 10.1 per cent. Yet with this 10.1 per cent, the City provides many of the day-to-day services that we all rely on. Government revenues: federal, provincial and municipal Government of Canada Revenues Income tax Sales tax (HST) Provincial Government Revenues Provincial income tax Sales tax (HST) Municipal Revenues Property tax Intergovernmental grants This is not a criticism of other levels of government, but it highlights the reality of how your tax dollar is distributed among the three levels of government.

11 How are property taxes calculated? Understanding the relationship between assessment and taxes Property tax remains the largest and most important revenue source for municipalities. It is the only tax that municipalities have the authority to collect. The two components required for determining property taxes are (1) the current assessed value of the property and (2) the tax rate applied to the property class. Assessment Current value assessment is the amount of money that a property would sell for, if sold at arm s length by a willing seller to a willing buyer. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) is responsible for setting assessment values for all properties in Ontario. The Current Value Assessment is based on the valuation date of January 1, 2012 and is phased in over 4 years ( ). Residential tax rate The tax rate consists of three components: The City of Burlington, Halton Region and Education. The city and regional portions are based on budgetary needs while the education portion is based on the provincial education funding requirements. The residential tax rate is determined by dividing the budgetary needs by the total assessment base. Tax rates are set for each property class. Calculating property taxes Property taxes are calculated using the property s assessed value, the municipal tax rates (City and Region) and the Education tax rate. The formula is: Assessed Value X City of Burlington Tax Rate = Amount of City of Burlington Property Tax + Assessed Value X Halton Region Tax Rate = Amount of Halton Region Property Tax + Assessed Value X Education Tax Rate = Amount of Education Property Tax = Total Property Taxes 11

12 Responsible Debt Management City of Burlington s debt policy The Province of Ontario legislates a municipal debt limit of no greater than 25 per cent of revenues. Consistent with the City of Burlington s Long-Term Financial Plan, the city s debt policy limits the total debt charges and liabilities to 12.5 per cent of revenues. The city s policy restricts tax-supported debt charges even further, stating that they cannot exceed 10 per cent of revenues. The approved 2014 to 2023 capital budget and forecast is below the City s debt policy. Overall debt capacity is currently projected at 8.4 per cent, with a projected rate of 10 per cent by the end of the ten year period. The tax supported component is at 8 per cent, and includes a forecast of the debt component required to finance the city s contributions for the hospital redevelopment plan. The City of Burlington has approximately $91.8 million in outstanding debt. Every year, a portion of the city s operating budget is used to pay the interest and principal on our outstanding debt. The more the city spends on debt repayment, the fewer funds are available for other city programs. An effective debt policy is an important part of having a responsible financial plan. Just like managing debt is important for individuals and families, it is also important for the city. By controlling debt levels, it allows the city to make the necessary spending choices. It is also designed to keep our city financially stable and sustainable, while allowing the flexibility to borrow money in the future as unexpected capital needs arise. Just as maxing out a credit card would be a poor financial decision for an individual, so too would maxing out the city s debt. Staying below the targeted debt level gives Burlington the flexibility to manage capital expenses, such as road or infrastructure repairs and new initiatives. Debt charges as percentage of net revenue 15.0% 13.0% City s Debt Policy: 12.5% 11.0% Hospital Debt 9.0% 7.0% 5.0%

13 How the city borrows money to finance infrastructure projects The city borrows money for capital projects such as roads, buildings and other infrastructure, and usually does so over a ten-year term. The process by which the city borrows money for infrastructure purposes is straightforward. First, staff goes to Council to request a bylaw to borrow funds for a capital project. The bylaw must include a description of the project, the dollar amount needed to complete it, and the term of the debenture. The city forwards this information to Halton Region who is the governing authority for issuing debt for the local municipalities in Halton Region. Consequently Halton Region consolidates all approved municipal bylaws and obtains Regional Council approval to borrow the total funds required. Halton Region then issues a debenture, which is sold to the public market through a broker. 13

14 Improved Reserves and Reserve Funds The city holds reserves and reserve funds which function in a similar way to your savings account: they ensure that the city has the necessary funding for specific purposes or capital projects. The city has established principles to manage reserve and reserve funds to ensure appropriate use and to foster long-range planning of city funds. Reserves Reserves are set up by City Council for specific purposes, and are used to cushion the impact that major expenditures would otherwise have on tax rates in a given year. Reserves do not earn interest. Reserve Funds Unlike a standard reserve, which could be used similar to a savings account, the assets in a reserve fund earn interest. There are two types of reserves and reserve funds: Obligatory required for legislated purposes, (i.e. development charges reserve funds). Discretionary established by bylaw for specific purposes (e.g. strategic land reserve fund). Focus on Stabilization Reserves and Reserve Funds The City of Burlington is focused on maintaining adequate reserves and reserve funds. This provides the city with the financial flexibility to respond to uncontrollable factors (such as economic cycles) and sustainability to plan for today and for the future. In order to continue to build the balance and to maintain a prudent level, the city is targeting a balance in stabilization reserve funds of between per cent of net revenues. Stabilization reserve funds as a percent of net revenue 16.0% 14.0% 12.0% Target Range 10.0% 8.0% 6.0% 4.0% 2.0% 0.0%

15 Predictable Infrastructure Investment The City of Burlington s spending on infrastructure for roads, parks, buildings, vehicles, storm water management and parking - makes up a significant component of the city s overall budget. In 2014, the city s budget for capital and infrastructure is $68 million. Depending on the size of the project, funds may be spent in one year or spread over several years. City Council approves the current year of the capital budget and forecasted nine years in principle. The intent of providing a 10 year forecast of capital projects and financing requirements is to facilitate long-term planning and prudent financial management. Recoveries from Other Gov. Bodies & Other: 9% Gas Tax: 12% Cash Financing: 36% The city s ten year capital budget is approximately $562 million. Investment in roadways represents the largest component in the budget, at 54 per cent. Buildings are another large component of investment, representing about 15 per cent of the ten year capital budget. The projects focus primarily on infrastructure renewal needs. The city has an obligation to protect its investment and strike a balance between new or enhanced facilities and the proper renewal of existing infrastructure. The total replacement value of the city s capital assets is approximately $2.5 billion. Of this, approximately $2 billion is made up of linear assets including roads, storm sewers, bridges / culverts and sidewalks. A further $295 million is made up of city-owned facilities and buildings staff recently identified the existing backlog of renewal needs for linear assets, facilities and buildings at $127.8 million. In December 2013, Council approved an Asset Management Financing Plan (Report F-39-13), which recommended a combination of various funding sources to eliminate the existing backlog of renewal needs in 20 years and provide stable ongoing funding to infrastructure renewal. Development Charges: 17% Reserve Funds: 15% Debt: 11% The city s capital budget is funded from various sources. The majority of funding comes from the current budget (cash financing), representing 36 per cent of the total capital budget. Other funding sources include debt (11 per cent), reserve funds (15 per cent), development charges (17 per cent), federal and provincial gas tax (12 per cent), as well as recoveries from other government bodies (9 per cent). 15
