Summary
CAPITAL BUDGET
This report presents the City of Toronto's Tax Supported 2013 – 2022 Budget Committee (BC) Recommended Capital Budget and Plan and recommends approval of 2013 cash flow and future year cash flow commitments for capital projects. Furthermore, this report requests Council’s approval of the 2013 – 2022 Capital Plan, which will form the basis for developing future capital budgets, in accordance with the City’s multi-year financial planning and budgeting practices.
The 2013 – 2022 BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan satisfies Council’s policy agenda, is fiscally responsible and focuses on infrastructure rehabilitation. It places priority on projects that protect the health and safety of citizens, meet legislated requirements, and those that maintain the City’s infrastructure in a state of good repair to support cost-effective service delivery. This is particularly challenging with an aging infrastructure and growing population. The 2013 – 2022 BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan achieves the following strategic objectives:
- Achieves a balance between prioritizing the maintenance of existing City assets in a state of good repair and addresses growth needs on a City wide basis;
- Focuses on addressing service gaps and ensures that services demanded by the citizens of Toronto will be delivered in a sustainable manner in the long term;
- Strategically applies non-debt funding strategies comprised of the continuation of surplus management policy (75% of operating budget surplus allocated to capital financing), proceeds from the monetization of the City’s marketable assets, maximizing Development Charges funding, Build Toronto Dividends, and new Provincial and Federal funding targets to offset future capital plan pressures;
- Accommodates fully the TTC's 10-Year BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan with the application of the approved capital non-debt financing strategy requiring the City to invest an additional $534 million in future proceeds to transit capital needs.
- Accommodates the Transportation Services' 10-Year BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan with the application of the approved capital financing strategy requiring the City to invest an additional $671 million for the ongoing rehabilitation work on the Gardiner Expressway, road resurfacing and reconstruction and key capital works to address traffic congestion.
- Manages to keep debt service costs at approximately 12% of the tax levy, which is below the 15% guideline to mitigate future impacts on the Operating Budget.
The 2013 BC Recommended Capital Budget totals $2.270 billion, and estimates of capital spending for the following nine years 2014 – 2022 total $12.981 billion or 85% of the total capital funding of $15.251 billion over the 10 year planning period, as described in Table 1.
(See Table 1 – 2013-2022 Budget Committee Recommended Capital Budget and Plan by Cluster/Agency)
Capital expenditures to maintain and renew the City’s infrastructure total $10.736 billion, representing 70% of the 2013 – 2022 BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan's spending allocation and with the addition of Health and Safety and Legislated projects it grows to 75%, as outlined in Chart 1. This strategy is geared toward reducing the City’s state of good repair backlog.
While emphasis has been placed on maintaining and protecting the City’s existing infrastructure and physical assets, the 2013 – 2022 BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan also invests $3.704 billion over 10 years in strategic and priority Service Improvement and Growth Related projects to accommodate increasing service demands and growth.
(See Chart 1 – 2013-2022 Capital Budget and Plan by Expenditure Category)
Transit alone accounts for the largest percentage of capital expenditures in the 10-Year BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan. Inclusive of the Spadina Subway Extension Project, the TTC’s 2013 – 2022 Recommended Capital Plan is $7.669 billion, representing approximately 50% of the total recommended spending over the 10 year planning horizon. Transportation Services totals an additional $2.944 billion or 19%. Taken together, transit and transportation capital works account for $10.613 billion or 70% of the total expenditures in the 2013 – 2022 BC Recommended Capital Plan.
The primary financing sources for the 2013 – 2022 BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan are Federal and Provincial funding that represents $3.786 billion or 25%, Reserves and Reserve Funds represent $3.004 billion or 20% and reflects increased funding from the Capital Financing Reserve arising from the recommended capital financing strategy, Capital from Current contribution represents $3.484 billion or 23% due to 10% annual increases. Debt is the funding source of last resort and represents $3.274 or 21% of the funding down from a historical average of approximately 30%. As the non-debt Capital financing strategies reduces debt cost thereby reducing pressure on the operating budget and providing more ability to fund the delivery on City services, as noted in Chart 2.
The debt and Capital from Current contributions target is based on the City’s policy that limits the ratio of debt service cost to tax levy to no more than 15%, on an annual basis. TTC's 10-Year Recommended Capital Budget and Plan stays within the target by extending the 2012 approved capital financing strategy by utilizing $534 million of projected financing from proceeds from the use of surplus operating funds in accordance with the City's surplus distribution policy, the monetization of City assets, projected Provincial and Federal funding to maintain and grow the transit system as well as estimated additional contributions that will be realized from the 2013 development charge by-law review.
(See Chart 2 – 2013-2022 Budget Committee Recommended Capital Budget and Plan by Funding Source)
Capital from Current funding totals $3.484 billion of the total recommended funding for the 2013 – 2022 BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan of $15.251 billion. To mitigate reliance on debt as a funding source for the City's Capital Plan, CFC will continue to be increased by 10% annually, from $218.615 million in 2013 to $515.483 million in 2022, increasing the CFC contribution relative percentage of financing from 9% in 2013 to 51% in 2022 over the 10 year period of the Capital Plan.
OPERATING BUDGET
This report presents the 2013 Budget Committee (BC) Recommended Tax Supported Operating Budget and seeks Council’s approval for the services, service levels, and spending plans detailed therein.
The City of Toronto faced challenges in preparing the 2013 BC Recommended Tax Supported Operating Budget to eliminate the opening operating pressure of $465 million, reduce its reliance on one-time/unsustainable revenues, including $102 million in previous year's surplus; bring spending back in line with revenue growth; and, moderate capital financing pressures.
To address the 2013 Operating Budget pressures and capital funding gap, the City Manager provided budget directions to continue the implementation of service efficiency study recommendations; increase user fee revenue in compliance with Council's approved User Fee Policy; submit a 2013 Budget with a 0% budget increase over the 2012 Net Operating Budget; and, limit new services to only those that are not reliant on the municipal property tax base for funding.
The 2013 BC Recommended Tax Supported Operating Budget is $9.401 billion gross and $3.713 billion net, resulting in a $3.560 million decrease in gross and a $25.232 million increase in net over the 2012 Approved Operating Budget of $9.405 billion gross and $3.688 billion net expenditures respectively. Major advancements were made in achieving fiscal sustainability by eliminating the use of prior year’s surplus and ensuring property tax increases were at or below the general rate of inflation. Revenue sources were maximized in accordance with expenditure growth and capital financing costs have been reduced through a capital financing strategy that utilizes prior year surplus, proceeds from the monetization of capital assets and Provincial/Federal funding. Furthermore, the 2013 BC Recommended Operating Budget includes a moderate Toronto Transit Commission fare increase of 5 cents and a 2.00% residential and 0.67% non-residential property tax increase which are in line with or below the general rate of inflation.

1c - Core Service Review - Revising the Timeframe to achieve the City's Tree Canopy Goals (Item PE17.1)
Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to respond to City Council's request that a review of the Urban Forestry Service Plan be conducted and that a report with recommended changes to extend the timeframe to achieve the City's tree canopy goals be submitted to the Parks and Environment Committee. This report presents a revised financial strategy which when implemented, will contribute to the achievement of a healthy, diverse and sustainable urban forest.
The consolidated funding proposed takes into consideration the financial pressures resulting from the management of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), and will extend the timeframe to implement the Service Plan by seven (7) years, from 2016 to 2023. From 2013 to 2019 resources will be diverted to manage EAB. Focus on implementing the Service Plan will begin in 2017 as EAB subsides. This funding strategy will enable Urban Forestry to maintain the 2011 service levels for the next four years while providing Urban Forestry with the resources to implement the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) strategy.
This report also responds to Parks and Environment Committee's request that staff report back on replenishing or adding money to the Environment Protection Reserve Fund – Tree Canopy Allocation XR1718. The Environment Protection Reserve Fund was established to provide one-time funding only, towards enhancement and protection of the City's tree canopy. Urban Forestry does not have the means to replenish the Environment Protection Reserve Fund.

Origin
Summary
This report outlines a request for municipal Student Nutrition Program funding for the 2013 Operating Budget and proposes a plan for increasing City investment over the next five years to stabilize existing programs and increase the number of breakfast meals served to participating children/youth in higher needs schools.
The City cannot accomplish program sustainability on its own. However, increasing the municipal investment will provide a strong signal to the provincial and federal governments and private sector partners that the City is committed to optimizing the full potential of Student Nutrition Programs to make a significant contribution to the nutritional health of children and youth.
The proposed plan calls for increased core funding by municipal, provincial and federal governments and the private sector.

1k - Toronto Public Health - Building on the Coroner's Pedestrian Death Review (Item HL17.1)
Origin
Summary
On September 19, 2012 the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario released a review of all pedestrian deaths that occurred in the province during 2010. The review characterized the victims and the drivers, described when, where, and how deaths were most likely to occur, and outlined factors that contributed to the deaths of the pedestrians.
The Coroner affirmed that all pedestrian deaths are preventable and outlined strategies to enhance pedestrian safety. The report recommends that the Province develop a Walking Strategy for Ontarians, including policies, practices and plans to support safe and convenient walking environments for everyone. As well, the report recommends that municipalities regularly review collision data and adopt a "Complete Streets" approach to guide redevelopment and new development. The Coroner specifically highlighted the role of vehicle speed in pedestrian fatalities and identified strategies for speed reduction.
The Coroner's review also found that the number of deaths among seniors greatly outweighs the percent of seniors in the population, and identified the need to make roads safer for all vulnerable pedestrians, including seniors, people with disabilities, and children.
Taking action to improve pedestrian safety not only saves lives, it also reduces injury rates and encourages people to be more physically active. Physical activity is known to reduce rates of chronic disease such as heart disease and diabetes. Toronto has undertaken many initiatives to improve pedestrian safety. However, the Coroner’s report highlights further opportunities for Toronto to improve pedestrian safety, including implementing additional measures to slow driver speeds and specifically considering the needs of seniors when designing roads and pedestrian areas.

The proposed budget contains audit fees payable to PricewaterhouseCoopers in the amount of $349,900 relating to the external financial audit of the City’s Financial Statements. The Auditor General has no control over the external audit fees paid as the amount is pre-determined based on a Council approved contract. For the 2013 external financial audit, fees increased from $328,200 to $349,900 an increase of $21,800. This amount is included in the total Auditor General’s budget increase of $23,800.
In relation to the Budget of the Auditor General’s Office, three separate reviews are underway which may have an impact on the Auditor General’s 2013 budget. These reviews are as follows:
In April 2009, City Council approved a report entitled “A Policy Framework for Toronto Accountability Officers”. One of the recommendations contained in the report directs that:
“City Council authorize the City Manager and Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, in consultation with the accountability officers, to review and research best practices respecting setting aside a percentage of the City’s budget for Toronto’s accountability functions and report back to Executive Committee.
This report is available at: http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2009.EX31.1
On June 14, 2011 City Council approved a report entitled “Auditor General’s Office 2011 Budget” and made the following recommendations:
“City Council request the City Manager to review, and report to the Audit Committee on October 20, 2011, on the operations of each one of the internal audit functions that report to management, and ascertain whether there may benefits to consolidating those functions, such a review to consider the reporting structure particularly in the context of ensuring that all functions are able to operate independently from management.
City Council request that, during the review, the City Manager review the level of resources for each entity in order to ensure that levels are commensurate with responsibilities and make recommendations for reallocation of staff if appropriate. In consultation with the Auditor General, such a reallocation give consideration to the resource requirements of the Auditor General’s Office.”
This report is available at: http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2011.AU2.5
The above reports remain outstanding and as a result at its meeting of February 29, 2012 the Audit Committee reaffirmed its earlier requests as follows:
“City Council authorize the City Manager and the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, in consultation with the Accountability Officers, to review and research best practices respecting setting aside a percentage of the City’s budget for Toronto’s accountability functions and report to Executive Committee.
City Council request the City Manager to review, and report to the Audit Committee on October 25, 2012, on the operations of each one of the internal audit functions that report to management both in City Divisions and the ABCs, and ascertain whether there may be benefits to consolidating those functions, such a review to consider the reporting structure particularly in the context of ensuring that all functions are able to operate independently from management.
City Council request that, during the review, the City Manager review the level of resources for each entity in order to ensure that levels are commensurate with responsibilities and make recommendations for reallocation of staff if appropriate. In consultation with the Auditor General, such a reallocation give consideration to the resource requirements of the Auditor General’s Office.”
These reports continue to be outstanding.

Summary
As part of 2012 Capital Budget deliberations, Council requested that the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer report back through the appropriate Standing Committee in the first quarter of 2012 on the merits of Sustainable Energy loans to non-City agencies and the private sector.
Current market conditions are considered suitable for energy related projects with positive returns to be financed without support of SEF interest free loans. It is being recommended that future funding for the City's energy projects be provided from recoverable debt as approved in the annual Capital Budget process for the City's agencies and divisions, with repayment from resulting operating program energy savings or revenue generation. No further loans would be approved for entities external to the City. It is proposed that the Sustainable Energy Reserve Funds be made available to fund the City's Tree Canopy capital program, which is experiencing rising costs due to the Emerald Ash Borer infestation.

Summary
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with the City of Toronto Operating Variance for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 as well as year-end projections and to request Council's approval for amendments to the 2012 Operating Budget between Programs to ensure accurate reporting and financial accountability with no increase to the 2012 Approved Net Operating Budget.
For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2012, Tax Supported Operations' net expenditures were under-spent by $258.984 million or 9.9% of planned expenditures and projections indicate that the 2012 year-end net under-expenditure is anticipated to be $166.204 or 4.5%million of the 2012 Approved Net Operating Budget, after the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer adjustments is accordance with Council's Surplus Management Policy. The $166.204 or 4.5%million is largely driven by salary savings in City Operations, higher than budgeted TTC ridership and higher anticipated Non-Program Tax Revenues.
Rate Supported Programs were under-spent by $0.652 million or 0.9% compared to net planned expenditures for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 and project year-end under-spending of $5.586 million or 9.9% of the 2012 Approved Net Operating Budget, primarily driven by Toronto Water’s under-expenditure in salaries and benefits from delayed hiring of vacant positions.
Staff will report the final year-end financial results for 2012 in the spring of 2013 after the financial audit is completed. The Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer will allocate any final year-end favourable variance in accordance with the Council approved Surplus Management Policy.

1aq - Provincial Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative (MIll) Capital Program
Origin
Summary
In November 2012, Minister Chiarelli announced the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative (MIll) Capital Program. The program permits municipalities to make an application for only one project, for a provincial contribution of up to $2 million. Although this is a modest amount given the City's ongoing need for infrastructure investment, the City needs to access all available provincial funding.
To access the provincial fund, the City must first submit an Expression of Interest for pre-screening to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) by January 9, 2013. The City must also submit a Council resolution authorizing the submission of the Expression of Interest.
City staff have identified the following project for consideration under the MIII Capital Program, as it meets both Provincial criteria and City priorities.
Program Area – Transportation Services
Project Name - Galaxy Boulevard and Skyway Avenue / Major Road Resurfacing
Total Cost - $2.2 million
Description - Resurfacing of Galaxy Boulevard / Skyway Avenue
