Committee Recommendations
The Executive Committere recommends that:
1. City Council approve a new School Land Properties Acquisition Capital Project with a total project cost of $15 million to be created within the 2018-2027 Council Approved Capital Budget and Plan for Facilities, Real Estate, Environment and Energy with cash flow approvals of $5 million in each of 2018, 2019 and 2020, to be fully funded from the Land Acquisition Reserve Fund (XR1012).
Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to seek City Council approval to establish a capital project with funding from the Land Acquisition Reserve Fund to serve as a primary funding source for the acquisition of future surplus school properties. The creation of a project now, with incremental expenditures of $5 million per year from 2018 to 2020, will ensure that a portion of the Land Acquisition Reserve Fund is set aside and built up to a level that would prepare the City for the end of the provincial moratorium on declaration of surplus schools. The pending implementation of the new real estate decision model and plan will ensure that future decisions on how to expend the funds are made in accordance with City priorities.
