D. INVITED PRESENTATIONS

1. Honourable Stéphane Dion MP, Leader of the Official Opposition and

Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada Chair Jackson welcomed Honourable Stéphane Dion MP, Leader of the Official Opposition and Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and Don Bell, Member of Parliament for North Vancouver. Honourable Stéphane Dion, Member of Parliament, Leader of the Official Opposition and Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and Don Bell, Member of Parliament for North Vancouver, were present to discuss urban issues affecting Metro Vancouver, including: • Fiscal imbalance • Property tax being the sole source of municipal revenue • Need for a direct open dialogue between the local government and the

federal government • Decrease of infrastructure funding for unforeseen emergencies The presenters identified the following actions implemented in response to urban issues: • GST rebate • Commencement of gas tax transfer, lobbying for the tax to become

permanent • Establishment of the green municipal infrastructure fund, public transit

fund • Establishment of urban caucus to address municipal needs and issues A part of the Liberal Party of Canada election platform is adoption of a fiscal discipline policy. The policy would provide for investment of the first three billion of surplus towards the debt decrease; the remaining surplus would be invested in sustainable municipal infrastructure.

RD-16


Discussion ensued on the following: • Potential for local government being formally recognized as a form of

government • The need for a direct working relationship between the local government

and the federal government • Lack of a national public transit strategy • Municipalities investing in the growth of the economy but not benefiting

from it • Municipalities not being able to compete at the international level. Diversify

municipal sources of revenue, and provide sustainable sources of municipal funding

• Level of federal government commitment to cultural infrastructure improvements

• Concern of the impact of Bill C-10 on artistic freedom • Concern about the disbandment of the CBC orchestra • Concern about downloading of social housing to the province; lack of a

national housing strategy • Laws enacted by the federal government do not take into consideration

financial consequences to local government • Rather than cutting GST from 6% to 5%, transfer the 1% to municipalities

for infrastructure funding • Carbon tax needs to be accompanied by real transportation alternatives • The dependence on oil and gas cannot be eradicated without proper

funding for research and development of new, more efficient, cleaner technologies

• Potential partnership with the federal government on the development of sustainable agriculture

• Ethics of using grains for ethanol production • Disagreement around the carbon tax implementation; the money should be

funnelled into green energy development funds • Potential for first time buyers being exempt from GST • Reduction of capital gains tax to enable municipalities to rehabilitate their

downtown core • Lack of federal government funding for dyking

ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 1:25 p.m.

Board Meeting Date: June 27, 2008 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Finance Committee DATE: June 18, 2008 SUBJECT: 2007 Schedules of Financial Information Recommendation: That the Board approve the 2007 Schedules of Financial Information for Remuneration & Expenses and for Payments to Suppliers for Goods and Services.

Schedule 1 has been adjusted to reflect the omission of some directors' remuneration, totalling $10,545 relating to the non-taxable portion of a retroactive rate adjustment. Schedule 2 has also been adjusted to correct an immaterial error in the formula on total expenses. The corrected versions are reflected in the attached report. The recommendation is unchanged.

Finance Committee Meeting Date: June 12, 2008

To: Finance Committee From: Jim Rusnak, Chief Financial Officer Date: April 21, 2008 Subject: Anmore Renewable Energy Foundation Recommendation: That the Board approve the request from the Anmore Renewable Energy Foundation for a Community Grant in the amount of $8,000. 1. PURPOSE To provide a Community Grant to the Anmore Renewable Energy Foundation in support of their proposed Renewable Energy Demonstration Centre, and in particular their solar energy demonstration project. 2. CONTEXT The Village of Anmore has created this Foundation as part of a Sustainable Region initiative. The attached documentation from Mayor Weinberg provides an overview of the work done to date, and indicates that Metro Vancouver’s Community Grant, if awarded, would go towards “signage and a public education campaign that has to be done in order for the significance to be communicated to the larger community.” This project has received federal and provincial funding, as well as support from the private sector and educational partners. 3. ALTERNATIVES The Board could approve this request. The Board could deny this request. 4. CONCLUSION Staff recommend that the Board approve this request. JR/eb Attachments Document #004634993

9 April 2008 Metro Vancouver 4330 Kingsway Vancouver, BC V5H 4G8 Attention: Metro Vancouver Environment Committee

Re: Anmore Renewable Energy Foundation – Progress Report and

Request For A Community Grant Dear Members of the Committee: The Village of Anmore has really taken to heart the spirit of Metro Vancouver’s leadership towards a Sustainable Region and is doing its best to contribute what it can to this initiative. Through the creation of the Anmore Renewable Engery Foundation we have:

• Raised over $250,000 in cash and in kind for a feasibility study into a Renewable Energy Demonstration Centre

• Completed micro-hydro studies and architectural concept drawings for a potential building

• Erected a meteorological tower at Buntzen Lake to test for trace wind resources

• Installed a 3 KW solar array at the Anmore Village Hall

• Formalized a net metering arrangement with BC Hydro for the solar array

• Initiated an application- with the assistance of private partner – pursuant to BC Hydro’s <10 MW Standard Offer Call for power to build a 3 MW ‘in-fill’ hydro project at the Buntzen tunnel

• Have had many interesting discussions at the Foundation table and in the community regarding other potential initiatives in renewable energy supply and demand – and GHG reduction

We like to see our community as a potential ‘laboratory’ for new sustaiability practises and on that basis would like to apply for funding from the Community Grants program. Added to the funding and matching grants that we have received from the federal and provincial government – and the significant cash and in-kind support that we have attracted from private sector and educational partners – a contribution from Metro Vancouver would enable us to show that we had support from all three levels of government. The money would be spent in two ways: there are some remaining bills from trades and fabricators that built the solar array; then there is signage and a public education campaign that has to be done in order for the significance of these projects can be communicated to the local and larger community. This is just the right time to be involved as we will be able to feature Metro Vancouver as a supporter in our publicity.

July 19, 2005 Mr. Franco Zanatta Western Economic Diversification Canada 700-601 West Hastings Street Vancouver BC V6B 5G9 Dear Franco: Re: Funding Contributions to the Anmore Renewable Energy Project We are writing to confirm our support for and our estimated in-kind contribution to the feasibility and development of the Anmore Renewable Energy Project (AREP). Background

As you are aware the University of Victoria’s Institute for Integrated Energy Systems (IESVic) has agreed in principle to support the feasibility and development of the AREP and is providing in-kind support to assist this project. This letter outlines our anticipated contribution to this project. Our contributions reflect the scope of services outlined in the document Anmore Renewable Energy Project: Feasibility Study and Scoping Document submitted to your office on July 5 2005. Our contribution:

First, IESVic is developing a simulation tool as part of our Integrated Renewable Energy Experiment (IRENE). In addition we have experience with other renewable energy system simulation tools as well. We plan to use these simulation tools and our expertise gained with the IRENE platform to help in the feasibility and planning stages for the AREP facility. A pilot project such as AREP is exactly the type of project that we envisioned the IRENE platform and associated simulation tools to be applied to. Hence we are excited by the emergence of a practical application for the systems under development. Second, IESVic has developed, over the past two-years, a strong working relationship with the Huu Ahy Aht First Nation and have recently completed an energy assessment for this community. Our next phase of work is performing a detailed assessment of a small hydro development on the Sarita River that may form the basis of a community energy system for the village of Annacla. Our expertise in working with a First Nations community will be valuable in helping the Anmore Renewable Energy Project in this aspect of their goals. Third, a new Chair in Sustainable Energy Systems Design is under consideration at UVic. As part of the mandate, the nominee, Dr. Peter Wild will be establishing relationships and opportunities for engineering students to gain practical design experience. The type of facility envisioned by the Anmore Foundation has excellent potential to provide a number of such opportunities on an on-going basis. Dr. Wild will therefore be well positioned to contribute to the educational space requirements in the design of the AREP facility.

RD-77

We have estimated, based on our current knowledge and understanding of the project and our role in the project components related to programming, planning, design, construction and operation of the AREP, that the following in-kind contribution from IESVic will be:

IESVic Personnel Consulting Time

Equivalent Charge out Rate

IRENE $400,000 $5000/week 5,000

Simulation tools $100,000 $1500/week 1,500

Total In-kind contribution: $14,400

Conclusions

UVic is committed to providing educational and research opportunities for to support the development of green and sustainable energy solutions. We believe our contributions to the AREP will assist not only our institution but the project itself, and assist in fostering an improved understanding of sustainable development and the educational and research requirements for renewable green energy. If you have any questions regarding the above please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours truly,

Finance Committee Meeting Date: June 12, 2008

To: Finance Committee From: Jim Rusnak, CFO Date: April 25, 2008 Subject: Financial Relationship between Metro Vancouver, TransLink & MFA Recommendation: That the Board receive the report titled "Financial Relationship between Metro Vancouver, TransLink & MFA" dated April 25, 2008 for information. 1. PURPOSE To inform the Board on the financial relationship between Metro Vancouver, TransLink and the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA), given the enactment of the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act. 2. CONTEXT TransLink Borrowing Limit and Approval Process Bill 43 – 2007, the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Act (SCBCTA Act) was enacted in late 2007. This act amended the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority Act (GVTA Act), and created a new governance model for TransLink. Under the GVTA Act, Metro Vancouver’s Board had an oversight role with responsibility to review and approve TransLink Strategic Transportation Plans and their borrowing limits. Metro Vancouver acted as a conduit for all of TransLink’s borrowing through the MFA, and in fact Translink’s debt to the MFA, along with their Short and Long Term Investments, were reflected in the Financial Statements of Metro Vancouver. Metro Vancouver, along with the member municipalities are jointly and severally liable for all borrowings through the MFA, and this continues under the new Act. The SCBCTA has created the Mayor’s Council on Regional Transportation, comprised of the 21 Mayors of the region. Their role is to consider the interests of the region as a whole. Among other functions, this council appoints the TransLink Board of Directors, appoints the Regional Transportation Commissioner, receives base plans as well as long term strategic plans, and approves any supplemental transportation and financial plans. Essentially, this Mayor’s Council assumes much of the governance responsibility previously held by Metro Vancouver’s Board.

Section E 1.3

RD-79

Finance Committee – May 15, 2008 Page 2 Financial Relationship between Metro Vancouver, TransLink & MFA Section 31 of the SCBCTA Act establishes the borrowing limits for Translink, and dictates that the outstanding debt obligations arising from borrowings must not exceed the greater of the following:

1. $1 billion, 50 million 2. an amount proposed by a resolution of the board, and ratified by a resolution

of the Metro Vancouver board 3. an amount proposed in a supplement approved by the Mayor’s Council,

after consultation with the Metro Vancouver board. TransLink’s current debt cap is $2.8 billion, pursuant to a resolution under #2 above. It is conceivable that in the future, TransLink’s debt cap will be extended beyond current level, and Metro Vancouver’s role in that process will be one of consultation only. MFA and Rating Agencies Apart from the establishment of corporate borrowing limits, the actual process of borrowing from the MFA involves a fairly rigorous process. Loan Authorization Bylaws require three readings by the appropriate Board, followed by submission to the Ministry of Community Services ("MCS") for review and approval of the Inspector. In some cases this is followed by an Elector approval process. Then the Loan Authorization Bylaw is reconsidered by the Board and, if adopted, and after a one month quashing period, the borrower applies to the MCS for a Certificate of Approval for the bylaw. With all of these approvals in place, a request can then be submitted to the MFA. Twice a year clients of the MFA submit requests for funding. Taking into consideration market and economic conditions, the Board of Trustees of the MFA may authorize the issue and sale of securities in an amount sufficient to meet these requests. Under the MFA Act, four of the Trustees are Metro Vancouver Board members. MFA currently enjoys triple “A” ratings from S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, the three major ratings agencies. Each of these agencies exercises a great degree of diligence and oversight in their issuance and maintenance of their ratings. They obviously rely on a number of factors in making their determinations. Moody’s opening comments in their rationale state “The Aaa rating on debt issued by the MFA reflects a strong institutional framework and substantial liquidity. Significant bondholder security is provided by the joint and several liability of members of regional districts that borrow from MFA, investments equivalent to 24.6% of net direct debt and unlimited taxing powers on all taxable properties within the province.” TransLink also maintains separate credit ratings, and in an October 2007 report by Moody’s is rated Aa3, and AA by DBRS. The new governance structure under the SCBCTA Act is considered a positive move by Moody’s, in their comments “Together, the proposed changes are expected to allow for greater certainty in planning, especially respecting sources of revenue available to fund debt service related to capital commitments. The lack of certainty that existed within the previous model had been identified by Moody’s as a credit challenge. Another characteristic of the previous model that would be retained is that borrowing of the GVTA would continue to be joint and several obligations of all of the member municipalities that make up the service area. This is a key credit strength as it binds together all member municipalities in decisions respecting capital investments in transportation and the debt associated with those decisions.”

RD-80

Finance Committee – May 15, 2008 Page 3 Financial Relationship between Metro Vancouver, TransLink & MFA They do express some concern over potential cost overruns on major projects, and note that while overruns on Canada Line and Golden Ears have been transferred to the concessionaires of the projects that “any cost overruns experienced with major future projects could necessitate increased funding by the GVTA that could, in turn, lead to increased debt and pressure on its operating budget.” MFA Debt and Borrower Composition The following graph is an extract from Fitch Ratings March 2008 analysis of the MFA, and shows the make-up of debt by borrower. In 2007 MFA’s gross debt was around $5.4 billion, or $4.1 billion net of sinking funds and debt reserves. Fitch estimated that to be around $805 per capita. If you exclude user fee supported debt (eg. Water and Sewer systems) they estimate the net debt per capita at about $403.

TransLink is MFA’s largest single borrower. They have an extensive capital plan, and are in the process of planning to meet the Provincial Transportation Plan goals. Fitch offered the following comments on TransLink: With their capital expansion, TransLink “may grow to be 50% of MFA’s total loan portfolio by 2015. However, as with all MFA borrowers, the system’s available revenues constrain its borrowing capacity. By statute, the TransLink system cannot budget a deficit, ensuring that its revenue streams support any proposed debt issuance.” 3. ALTERNATIVES N/A

RD-81

Finance Committee – May 15, 2008 Page 4 Financial Relationship between Metro Vancouver, TransLink & MFA 4. CONCLUSION Metro Vancouver’s Board no longer has direct control over TransLink’s business operations nor their level of debt. There is a statutory obligation for consultation with Metro Vancouver, but no direct control. The “Mayor’s Council on Regional Transportation” does have control over TransLink’s business operations and debt, and it is incumbent upon that council to act in the best interests of the region. Joint and several liability for debt is an underlying principle of MFA’s success, and that joint and several responsibility is a significant factor underpinning MFA’s strong credit ratings. MFA’s application, review and lending policies appear to be prudent, conservative and effective. Metro Vancouver’s board is well represented through the appointment of four trustees to the MFA board. TransLink will continue to be the largest borrower through MFA, backed by approved business plans articulating the sources of revenue sufficient to service and repay their borrowings over time. There will be considerable third party oversight on TransLink and on the MFA through the various ratings agencies, and any downgrades will be known to Metro Vancouver. Rating agencies, at this time, view the new TransLink governance structure as a positive change, and there is nothing to suggest that there will be a predictable adverse impact on MFA’s ratings, or upon any other MFA member’s ability to borrow.
