REPORT TO COUNCIL DATE: November 18, 2019 REPORT NO.: 19-187 SUBMITTED BY: Director of Finance FILE NO.: 1700-20 SUBJECT: Draft 2020 Budget and Five Year Financial Plan RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council discuss the proposed 2020 – 2024 Financial Plan PURPOSE: To present the City of Castlegar’s 2020 – 2024 Financial Plan to Council prior to moving the plan forward for the required Bylaw readings.

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: The Community Charter requires the City to complete a Five-Year Financial Plan and Budget each year. City staff has completed the 2020 – 2024 Financial Plan for Council consideration. It includes proposed spending, funding and transfers between funds which will provide the financial resources to support the vast number of services that are provided by the City. Once approved, the 2020 budget, with 2021-2024 projections, provides staff with clear direction on spending levels for each defined priority and the authority to pay for services. It also ensures that staff are accountable to the residents. The Five-Year Financial Plan presented in this document is a financial planning tool and not a multi-year budget. The primary focus of the Financial Plan is the current budget year under consideration (2020), with a new five-year plan being created for each successive budget cycle. The revenue and expenditure forecasts beyond 2020 (2021-2024) reflects estimated wage and benefits costs, estimated RDCK rate increases, RCMP contract increments, other increases based on established agreements and previous Council directions. The Financial Plan is adjusted annually to reflect historical figures, inflation and contractual agreements. Public Process: The annual budget process offers multiple opportunities for public input and encourages dialogue on city-wide priorities and issues, City service levels, to help develop a picture of the public’s preferences for where the City should focus its investments and resources. We would like to thank those residents that participated in the City’s online survey, with 86 responses compared to under 30 from the previous year. This is a 186% increase and with a Communications Manager now in place, we hope to get residents more engaged through the budget process.

Through the survey, we sought to:

• Understand resident’s priorities and levels of satisfaction with City services • Test for tax tolerance among residents • Solicit ideas that could make it into the City’s 5 Year Financial plan and • To understand level of importance residents place on the Strategic Plan’ pillars

Parks, community events, communications, and public safety are the top priorities for residents, which is inline with Council’s Strategic Plan and corresponding spending and departmental plans. Summarized responses for the survey have been included in this report. The next step in the public process is a public presentation and open house scheduled for November 26, 2019. This is an opportunity to present the budget to the public once the budget has been discussed by Council.

Operating Budget Highlights: The following provides highlights of the 2020 – 2024 Financial Plan with primary focus on the 2020 Budget. The new chart of accounts structure has given staff increased visibility into City revenues and expenditures rather than lumping all expenses into a single line item. For 2020 and beyond, staff scrutinize the budget in an effort to make sure that budgeted expenses and revenues are in line with historical trends with adjustments made where necessary. General Fund Operating Revenue: In 2020, the City expects to see an increase in non property tax operating revenues of approximately $57,100. This includes $40,000 from Grants-in-Lieu and 1% Utility taxes received from companies like Telus, Shaw, and Fortis. Other revenues like investments and miscellaneous user fees have increased by $17,100 to reflect historical trends. General Fund Operating Expenditures: One of the goals of the charts of accounts restructure was to find efficiencies and savings where possible because expenses can now be tracked by departments as opposed to being lumped together without proper accountability. Through this exercise, staff found efficiencies and savings of $180,550. The majority of the savings can be attributed to the centralization of the IT purchases; all IT expenses have been coded to a single line item historically. The restructure provided an opportunity to assign and track IT expense by department. In addition to IT hardware, savings were also realized in utilities; salaries and wages; and general materials and supplies. Increases have been made in different parts of the budget to reflect 2019 projections. For example, the City’s liability insurance was adjusted to reflect an increase of $27,000 to match 2019 projection.

The efficiencies and savings of $237,650, consisting of $57K increase to revenue and a $180K reduction in expenses, have been reallocated within the 2020 operating budget as follows: Budget Items Amount Increased Revenues $57,100 Expenditure Adjustments $189,550 Total $237,650 Creation of Information Technology Reserve ($90,000) Organizational Restructure ($95,000) General Expenditures ($14,000) Increase to Communications Budget ($10,000) Surplus/(Deficit) $37,650

CHANGES TO THE FIVE YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN: At the October 10 Budget meeting, Council deliberated and made motions on new budget items presented by staff and members of Council. At the November 7 meeting, Council met with various community groups with funding agreements with the City to discuss changes to expiring contracts. These new requests resulted in approximately $1,066,000 in adjustments to the 5-Year Financial Plan (operating and capital). Details of the changes are highlighted below:

Incorporating these new requests into the five 5-Year Financial Plan presented a challenge as staff is mindful of additional property tax increase to the already approved 5.8% in the current financial plan. Recognizing this challenge, staff is proposing the following recommendation to the operating budget:

OPERATING Amount Funding Source Community Enhancement Fund Increase Operating 15,000 Council Discretionary Budget1 Bike Repair Stations Operating 10,000 Community Enhancement Fund2 2020 Embetsu Delegation Operating 30,000 Taxation3a Grants-in-aid Operating 10,000 Council Discretionary Budget3b CCIB Hanging Baskets Operating 15,000 Taxation3c Castlegar’s 75th Anniversary Operating 75,000 Taxation3d Grants to Community Groups Operating 21,086 Surplus4a Bike Skills Park Inspection Operating 6,000 Surplus4b Housing Strategy Operating 50,000 Reserves5 Standby Network Switches Operating 8,000 Reserves5 TOTAL OPERATING $240,086

Notes: 1. Shown within the projected 5-year taxation policy was an annual amount of $20,000 in anticipation

of new community requests. Council has requested that the Community Enhancement Fund be increased to $40,000. In order to achieve this without an impact to taxation, staff is recommending that $15,000 of the annual $20,000 approved as part of the 2019 taxation policy be used to fund the requested increase to the Fund.

2. Council created the Community Enhancement Fund for projects that come up through the year from Council, staff or community that weren’t part of the budget process. Given that this fund has no dedicated projects for 2020, the Bike Repair Stations can be funded from that fund. This will leave a balance of $30,000 ($25,000 already in the five-year plan and $15,000 increase for 2020) in the fund, assuming the proposed increased (see note 1 above) is approved.

Previously approved CEF 25,000 Increase to CEF (Note 1) 15,000 Total 40,000 Bike Repair Station (10,000) Water Bottle Refill Station Installation (11,405) CEF Balance 18,595

3. Taxation: a. Council requested that staff determine the per-person cost of sending members of Council to

the Castlegar’s Sister City in Japan, Embetsu. The per person cost is $3,585. The $30,000 is assuming that all of Council will be making the trip. It is recommended that if Council will like to go ahead that it be funded from new taxation. The amount can be adjusted depending on the total number of attendees.

b. Council passed a resolution to include $10,000 in the budget to provide funding to community groups that are not usually part of the annual budget process. Staff is recommending that the unallocated $5,000 balance from the approved $20K approved in 2019 be used for this. This will require an additional $5,000 increase to taxation annually.

c. It was decided at the November 7 meeting that the $15,000 request for new hanging basket from the Community in Bloom Committee be funded over 2 years. Staff has since received an updated amount from the group with the request now reduced to $10,000 in total. is recommended that the project be funded from general taxation.

d. Castlegar’s 75th Anniversary is in 2021 and Council has requested to include $75,000 in the

budget to commemorate this event. Staff is recommending that the project from funded from general taxation over 2 years. This will increase taxes in 2020 and 2021 by $37,500 each year.

4. Surplus Savings ($37,650):

a. At the Nov. 7 Budget Meeting, Council passed a resolution to increase funding to both the Heritage Society and Doukhobor Society by 7%, as well as increase funding for the Art Gallery by $15,000. Staff is recommending that the total of $21,086 be funded through operating surplus of $37,650 mentioned earlier in this report.

b. Skills Park Inspection: Friends of Parks and Trails have committed to providing inspection and minor maintenance services for the City’s bike skill park for $6,000 annually. Staff is recommending that this project be funded through operating surplus of $37,650 mentioned earlier in this report

5. Reserves: a. One of Council’s main strategic priorities is housing. Council directed staff to include $50,000

in the budget to develop a Housing Strategy for the City. Staff is recommending that this project be funded from reserves.

b. The network standby switch is a security issue for the City as the current switches are old and unreliable. Staff is recommending that the $8,000 be funded from IT Reserves.

c. It should be noted that projects funded from reserves have no taxation impact.

CAPITAL BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The five-year Capital Plan informs the City’s long-term service and financial planning. It strikes a strategic balance between the City’s need to maintain critical assets in a good state and to enhance its network of infrastructure and amenities that support growth and advance Council and community priorities within the City’s long-term financial capacity. The annual Capital Budget sets out Council-authorized funding and spending for the year as well as detailed project information and outcomes. It provides the authority to proceed with specific capital projects and defines both the five-year Capital Project Budget and the annual Capital Expenditure Budget for all approved work. The City funds capital projects with a mix of funding sources (who pays) and payment methods (when to pay). Funding sources (who pays) include property tax and user fees (e.g., water, sewer and storm), and partner contributions from provincial and federal governments. Payment methods (when to pay) include pay-in-advance funding from capital reserves, pay-as-you-go funding from current revenues from user fees and other sources, and debt financing that is repaid over time. At the November 7 budget meeting, Council reviewed the current Capital Plan (2019-2023) with an motion to bring forward the Millennium Park and Ponds Washroom from 2021 to 2020 while deferring the Millennium Park New Playground project to 2021. New capital expenditures of $12.6 million are budgeted for 2020, which includes investments in key priority areas. The capital budget includes $11.1 million for previously approved multi-year capital projects; $1 million brought forward to 2020 from 2021 for Millennium Park and Ponds Upgrades; $223 thousand in 2020 projects were brought forward to 2019; and $446 thousand in new projects approved by Council. Below is a summary of the new projects added to the capital plan as well as their funding sources.

IMPACT ON TAXATION To establish the City’s tax rates, staff determines the total property tax levy that is required to support the budget, then divides the property tax levy by the assessment base provided by BC Assessment. The City does not generate higher property tax revenues as a result of rising property values; the City only taxes for what it needs to balance the required budget. Another consideration when establishing the tax rate is the impact of non-market change (new construction). In 2019, the non-market change was absorbed into general taxation levy, thereby reducing any tax increase. The proposed tax rates have not factored in non-market change assessment. Staff proposes that it be placed in reserves until a policy is in place. In addition to the 5.8% tax increase approved in the 2019-2023 financial plan, staff also had to consider $101,936 in new spending for both operating and capital budget (details provided below). Project Amount 2020 Embetsu Delegation $30,000 New Community Grants $5,000 Hanging Baskets $10,000 Castlegar’s 75th Anniversary $37,500 LED Streetlight Gateway $30,000 Total $112,500 Operating Surplus ($10,564) Additional Funding Required to Balance Budget $101,936

Considering the projects above, and other pressures facing the City, residents will see a tax increase of 7.15% or $6.87 per month in 2020, which is $2.30 higher than 2019. It is important to note that Council already approved a 5.8% increase through the 2019 budget which was based on the best information available at that time. As assessment changes, the projections will also change to reflect the new assessment. The additional 1.33% will fund the new operating and capital projects outlined above. Utility Rates: The Utility rates (water, sewer and garbage will be brought to the December 2nd Council meeting, with the new bylaws for adoption before December 31. In accordance to the three year rates plan, the water and sewer rates for 2020 are: Water Rates:

Sewer Rates:

The new rate structure is generating revenue as intended. Revenue for 2019 is projected to be $1,853,442 as compared to the budget of $1,731,800.


of 9

Solid and Yard Waste: The user pay solid and yard waste programs have not had any increase over the last few years, resulting in the City not adjusting for inflation and any increase to tipping fees. The Regional District of Central Kootenay, (RDCK) has given notice that tipping fees will increase to $110 in 2020. Staff is recommending that the residential solid and yard waste be increased as per the table below. This will ensure that user pay solid and yard waste services are sufficiently funded. The proposed increase will be $11 per year or $0.92 per month for residents.

Program 2016 2017 2018 2019 Proposed 2020

Solid Waste $110 $110 $90 $90 $97.50

Yard Waste $32.00 $32.00 $35.50

(4) Financial: The budget as a policy tool gives Staff direction and authority to spend and provide services expected by residents

POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Section 165 of the Community Charter requires municipalities to adopt a Financial Plan Bylaw on an annual basis. IMPLEMENTATION/COMMUNICATION: The budget package will be available on the City’s website for residents to review. In addition to that, there will be a public open house where residents can review the budget and provide input. Respectfully submitted, Approved by Ola Oladele, Director of Finance
