Category of Reserves City Reserves & Reserve Funds 2015 Year End 2016 Year End Commentary Operating Reserves $6,655,523 $6,311,183 The reduction is primarily related to utilization of the Tax Stabilization Reserve (net $187k) and the purchase of a dispatch console ($160k)to be paid back over 4 years. Capital Reserves (105,018) (1,463,514) The City used the Land Reserve to repurchase land in the Business Park ($2.2M). The remaining capital reserve balances as a whole are in a positive position, but remain well below the target balance. This is an area that is frequently underfunded due to competing budgetary challenges. Restricted Reserves (Municipal Funding) Restricted Reserves (Funded Externally) $41,515,414 $40,909,940 Reserves restricted for certain uses; such as, the Water and Wastewater Works Reserves, Downtown Investment Fund and the Progress Fund. $5,635,403 $4,929,941 These reserves have been funded by senior levels of government or third parties for specific uses. A report on the status of City Reserves is provided to Council annually at the same time that the City s Financial Statements are presented.

Asset Management The Asset Management Plan was approved by Council in Nov 2016, and is summarized as follows: Financing Strategy State of Local Infrastructure 2016 Estimated replacement value, $1.3B Annual contribution for replacement of assets, $27.9M Current asset backlog, $92.3M Asset Management Strategy Expected Levels of Service Annual capital investment required to maintain current assets, $13.7M Currently, funding for capital maintains the current asset base but does not plan for the replacement of assets. Continuing in this manner will result in a funding shortfall of $53M over the next 10 years. The City s Long Term Financial plan will provide a framework of best practices and guidelines.

2017 Initiatives Financial Services is currently developing a 10-year Financial Plan relating to forecasted operating and capital requirements that would identify sources of available funding (such as: tax base, water and wastewater billings, debt financing, government grants, use of reserves, etc.). Financial Services is upgrading the City s Water and Wastewater billing and the Accounting systems. The Development Charges background study is being completed by Watson and Associates. The study will provide recommendations for a fee structure. Development Charges provides funds that would allow the City to finance capital works required for development. A review of the Building Permit Fee structure is being undertaken in 2017. It is anticipated that the new fee structure will expand on fee for service concepts and establish an annual inflation base increment mechanism. The city is looking to implement a new electronic data management system. This system would be a central depository for all city departments to store documents for short and long term uses. Page 13
