LRCF
Council Meeting – Monday, January 9th, 2017
Draft Operating and Capital Budget
2
Guiding PrinciplesArnprior Strategic Plan
• Vision: Sustainable financial model: Measured by debt ratios and a sound long range financial plan in place
• Vision: Improved infrastructure: We have an implementable 10 year capital plan including a lifecycle strategy for all assets. (Note: New 20yr LRCF in 2017)
3
Guiding PrinciplesArnprior Strategic Plan
• Strategic Plan - 2013 to 2017
– 2013 Key Priority Area & Action Plan
• Financial Model (2013 Budget, 10 Year Long Range Capital Forecast, Resolve & Improve Financial Issues)
– 2014 & 2015 Key Priority Areas
• Infrastructure, Economic Development and Marketing
– 2016 & 2017 Key Action Plan Item
• Town Centre/Square Completed
4
Guiding PrinciplesArnprior Strategic Plan
• Strategic Plan Refresh – 2015 to 2019 –now extends the plan by two years
– Official Plan “Arnprior Centric” (2015 start)
– Downtown Revitalization (2015-2017)
– Waterfront Development (2018-2019)
– Recreation Master Plan Implementation (2015-2019)
5
Budget Approach
• 2017 Draft Operating Budget
– Comprehensive review of every line item
– 3 Year Trend Analysis of every line item
• The “Pay-as-you-go” principle continues to be the vanguard in order to avoid new long-term borrowing, pay down debt and to build reserves to fund future expenditures
6
Financial Controls
• Since 2013 several new financial controls have been established.
• Two key controls implemented are the 80% rule and expenditure earmarking
• CAO has implemented the 80% rule on Discretionary Spending to control and mitigate cost center overages
7
Financial Controls
• CAO requires “earmarking” to be identified prior to allowing overages to ensure that there is either an offsetting revenue or cost savings wherever possible, pursuant to the Delegation of Authority By-law

11
Operating Budget Impacts
• Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF)
– 2017 allocation amount is $1,108,300 which $137,500 higher than the 2016 budget of $970,800
• Benefits
– Manulife benefit premiums are increasing for Health and Dental (4.0% overall - $12,000)
12
Operating Budget Impacts
• Utility Charges
– Trending for Hydro & Gas utilities are being monitored. Staff are taking measures to adjust the draft budget accordingly, however, it will be prudent to plan for continued increases as part of the Town’s long range forecasts.
– The Town is enrolled in various programs to help mitigate these increases such as the LAS Electricity Billing program.
13
Operating Budget Impacts
• Insurance
– Going to market with an RFP for Insurance Services resulted in a 13% ($25,000) cost savings for insurance premiums for 2016 and a soft cap of 2% increase for 2017.
– The re-evaluation of buildings by our insurer in 2016 resulted in an additional increase of $10,000
14
Operating Budget Impacts
• Policing Services
– Based on the new policing costing model, the per unit cost for policing has increased from $396.37 in 2016 to $398.85 in 2017 and the total number of households for Arnprior has increased resulting in an increase to budget of $44,167.
– Shift in Town funded administrative resources at the OPP building to OPP responsibility in spring of 2017 – savings of $37,650 in 2017
15
Operating Budget Impacts
• New impacts
– Winter Control
• Expanded sidewalk program and sidewalk contract increase ($)
– Downtown Revitalization Financing
• Debt repayment added to Levy, Water, Wastewater
– Downtown Maintenance
• Additional summer student to maintain downtown core and added operation costs
16
Operating Budget Impacts

– Museum Weekend Hours
• Pilot project for 2017
– Seasonal Market
• Pilot project for 2017 – Additional revenues for vendor fees and some expenses for set up (barricades, etc)
17
ConsiderationsSelf-Sustaining Cost Centers
• The following programs are established as self-sustaining cost centers:
– Wastewater Services
– Waterworks Services
– Waste Management
– Cemeteries
– Protection, Inspection and Control (PIC)
18
Water / Wastewater Cost Centres
• In 2015, to meet statutory requirements, Council had a 10 Year Water/Wastewater Rates Study completed
– The 2017 budget is built based on the Rate Study.
• Additional new pressures on the Water cost center will require a revision to the Rate Study to ensure sufficient collection of funds.
19
Water / Wastewater Cost Centres
• Staff will be preparing recommended amendments to the Water/Wastewater Rate Study after responses to the CWWF and OCIF Grants are received in Q1.
20
Waste Management
• 2016 was the 3rd and final year of a 3 year phase-in increase in the Garbage Rate
– $130 in 2014, $135 in 2015 and $140 in 2016
• 2017 Draft Budget includes a rate increase to $155 based on estimated contract pricing (from 2016 extension), which are currently in the tendering process.
– The increase will be required to breakeven and maintain pace with growth in future years.
21
Waste Management
• Staff will confirm a recommended rate at time of award (Feb 2017) for integration into the final budget, prior to adoption.
22
Cemeteries
• The 2017 Draft Budget includes the increase in cemetery rates and reduction in OPSS Internal Equipment Rates, as approved by council on November 28, 2016.
• The adjustments will assist with cost recovery of the cost center and a forecasted small surplus to be transferred to the Cemetery Reserve Fund.
23
Protection, Inspection and Control (PIC)
• The PIC cost center is projected to generate a surplus of $9,310 in 2017.
• The 2017 Draft Capital Budget includes a vehicle for the CBO funded through the Building Reserve Fund, to match other corporate users.
24
Protection, Inspection and Control (PIC)
• Pending approval of the capital request for a vehicle, the operating budget includes:
– Gas, oil and lubricants, licenses, mechanical and insurance costs as well as the removal of mileage allowance
• The current mileage usage for the CBO is similar to the Waterworks Supervisor, which is 3,300 kms annually. – Save on annual mileage costs of $1,782
25
Protection, Inspection and Control (PIC)
• Should the mileage on a Town owned vehicle be approx. 3,300 kms, the total estimated annual cost would be $1,690 (which has been included in the budget)
26
Personal Vehicle Town Vehicle
Insurance $800
Fuel $500
General Maintenance $300
Plate Renewal $90
Mileage Reimbursement $1,782

• Contributions include:
– For levy based cost centres – no increase but maintains 2016 contribution levels
– Increases in Gas Tax funding and self-funding cost centers (water, wastewater, etc)
28

37
Budget Approach
• 2017 Draft Capital Budget
– Capital projects over $10,000 are taken from the Long Range Capital Forecast
– Mandatory “M” projects have been included in the Capital Budget (Refer to Capital Tab)
– “M” projects include mandatory or mission critical projects (required by law, based on Council direction or approved plans, etc.).
38
Capital
• In addition to projects identified in the 2016 LRCF, the draft 2017 Capital budget includes investment in:
– Corporate Policy Review - Procurement
• Peer review of the procurement policy due to increase in legal requirements
– Public Works Garage Roof Repairs
• Replacement of the east roof, repairs to west and center roof due to leaking (H&S)
39
Capital
– Hydraulic Water Redundancy Review
• Review of Town’s water distribution system
– Chemical Media for Bay Products Scrubber (WPCC)
• Chemical media for odour control
– Marina – Main Dock Repairs
• Various maintenance repairs to the main docks
– NSC – Booking Software
• Current software expiring, implement online bookings
40
Capital
– Canada 150th
• Festivities and Activities
– Downtown Lighting/Banners
• Decorative lighting/banners for the Downtown
– PIC – Vehicle CBO
• Properly identified Town vehicle required for inspections
41
Capital
• Grant funding of $267,500 from the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund for the D.A. Gillies Building Remediation project.
– Includes exterior/interior remediation work and humidification improvements.
• Grant provides 50% of project costs, while the application was for 70% grant funding.
– Project included in 2017 capital with remaining 50% funded from the CERF
42
Capital
• D.A. Gillies Building Remediation Project
– While the project moves into 2017 capital, there is a $500,000 project removed from the LRCF in 2022
– Overall savings of $267,500
43
Capital Budget By Department
44
20 Year Long Range Capital Forecast
45
Background
• Long Range Capital Forecast (LRCF) is a snap shot in time of known future Budget & Infrastructure pressures.
– Significant reliance upon Town Master Plans and the Asset Management Plan
• LRCF is a dynamic tool which is reviewed and updated annually.
• LRCF is in “today’s dollars”
46
Background
• Year to year, LRCF is subject to changes in priorities, funding, emerging legislation or trends, etc.
• Many factors can impact a LRCF including, pace of growth, inflation, updates to Asset Management Plans, Water & Wastewater models, other Master Plans, etc.
47
Background
• With the 2015 LRCF, Council approved the Downtown Revitalization project including a financing strategy of a rapid 5 year loan repayment.
• With this financing commitment, the LRCF has taken into account the reduced capital funding capacity over the five year 2017-2021 loan repayment period.
48
Shift to 20 Year LRCF
• Given the nature and longevity of municipal infrastructure staff have developed a 20 Year long range capital forecast (previously 10 years)
• Increasingly detailed Asset Management Plans and key Master Plans/Studies assist in providing more robust data for an extended LRCF.
49
Shift To 20 Year LRCF• For planning purposes, varying levels of
accuracy exists depending timeframes in the LRCF. Generally speaking:
– 1-5 Year Timeframe
• Projects are generally set, limited change in value/year
– 6-10 Year Timeframe
• Very probable to occur as forecasted – value/year may fluctuate somewhat
– 11-20 Year Timeframe
• Longer range and subject to adjustments as years draw closer
50
Asset Management Plan
• Some of the increases in the total capital investment in the LRCF are in part due to the annual updating of the Asset Management Plan (AMP) modeling, which sets recommended service levels.
• The AMP model is updated based on on-going studies such as pavement condition analysis, CCTV, flow monitoring, water modeling, etc.
51
Asset Management Plan
• Annually, staff have prepared the budget in order to bring investment levels up to (or better than) 2013 AMP recommendations

Investment in Linear Assets
• In 2015 Council approved service levels which set the recommended annual level of investment in linear assets at $2.610M.
• To maintain levels of service, Council committed to an annual investment increase of $75K in linear assets.
– Recommend maintaining the additional $75,000 per year beyond 10 years

55
Investment in Linear Assets
• 2017 Capital Budget exceeds the recommendations of the 2016 Updated AMP Results by over investing in sidewalks, watermains, and sewers, but is less than the recommended investment towards roads.
• This is largely due to the Town’s significant investment in the Downtown Revitalization Project.

Future Capital Pressures
• The Downtown Revitalization project and other Asset Management Life Cycle projects in 2017 will cause a temporary shortfall in contributions to reserves
– assuming no new grants or new borrowing
• The pay-as-you-go model is designed to “over contribute” to reserves as a practice in order to fund occasional short falls such as outlined above.
58
Future Capital Pressures
• The Downtown Revitalization project is funded through a combination of reserve funds ($4.4M) and debt bridge financing ($6.0M) over 5 years.
• Rapid debt repayment and use of reserves for a net gain upholds pay-as-you-go principles.
59
Future Capital Pressures
• Reduced funding capacity for future capital spending from 2017-2021 in order to fund the bridge financing payments ($1.249M)
– Begin the recovery for the drawdown on reserve balances.
• Minor adjustments to the LRCF as part of the Financing Strategy.
– E.g. Road Rolling Rehab will be reduced for 2018-2021 in the LRCF to offset the reduced financial capacity for bridge financing.

Discussion
• The impact of new pressures, Down-town financing and AMP objectives may exceed our ability to fund some projects, which will require annual monitoring
• Adjustments to DC’s, increases in the Water & Wastewater Rate Study may assist in responding to potential shortfalls
– this will be reviewed in 2017
62
Discussion
• Maintaining a strong commitment to the pay-as-you-go model will help address funding challenges
63
Grant Opportunities
• A number of grant applications remain outstanding for the Town of Arnprior. Success on any of the applications will have varying impact on the LRCF
– Projects in latter years (i.e. NSC Roof Replacement, Museum elevator, etc) will shift forward to 2017 if grant funding is received.
• This will result in net savings however would require earlier financial investment from the Town.
64
LRCF Format
• LRCF includes a Summary Sheet (by Department) as well as detailed sheets by department and category.
• Expenditures of less than $10,000 are not included
• Funding sources are not determined by a LRCF, this is established through such things as annual Budgeting, DC By-laws, Grants, etc.
65
LRCF Format
• A column has been included in the LRCF to identify projects derived from a Town Master Plan or Asset Management Plan
• Master Plans and/or the AMP projections may vary from the LRCF projects depending on a number of factors.
66
Client Services
• Legislated Items
– Election, Development Charges, JE Evaluation, etc. - extended out to a 20 year time frame
• IT Requirements
– Server, Desktop, Network, Software, Telephone, Security, Website upgrades
– Based on estimated lifecycles of current equipment
67
Fire Department
• 1-5 Years
– $15K Fire Hose removed (2020)
– $10K Water & Ice Rescue equipment added (2020)

• Business case from Fire Dept attached as supplemental information
– increased from $310K to $330K (2018)
69
Fire Department
• Radio system not included in the LRCF due to unknown factors still under review by the County:
– Type and Cost, Timeline for upgrades, Funding options (payment plan/lease, lump sum), Capital vs Operating expenditure
• Upon County decision(s) for the radio system, the estimates will be added to the budget or LRCF depending on direction
