Summary

This report presents the City of Toronto's Budget Committee (BC) Recommended Tax Supported 2019 Operating Budget and 2019 - 2028 Capital Budget and Plan, which is the first budget of a new four-year term of Toronto City Council. This report seeks City Council approval for the 2019 Operating Budget by service, associated service levels, and staffing detailed therein; the 2019 Capital Budget, future year cash flow commitments, and planned estimates over the 2019 - 2028 capital planning period.

 

The 2019 Operating Budget and the 2019 - 2028 Capital Budget and Plan, as recommended by Budget Committee, enables the City of Toronto to provide over 150 distinct services that are supported by capital assets and infrastructure worth more than $94.0 billion to meet the needs of a diverse population of more than 2.9 million people.

 

The City employs a financial planning and budgeting process that is transparent, accessible and focused on service value and accountability. It accounts for the public's needs as translated by Council in its approved strategies and priorities and ensures that value is achieved through the efficient use of resources for the most effective delivery of City services and stewardship of City assets. Grounded in good governance, the City's financial planning and budgeting practices are aimed to garner the public's trust and confidence in the management of public resources. Given the 2018 Municipal Election, the 2019 Budget Process timelines, while condensed, ensured that an effective and transparent process was maintained.

 

The development of the 2019 Budget was guided by five key principles: preserving existing service levels; continuing investments in Council-approved priorities, strategies and plans to advance service priorities; maintaining affordability with a property tax rate increase in line with inflation; ensuring that equity impacts were considered in recommended budget changes, and incorporating the results of Auditor General recommendations that realize savings. 

 

Budget Committee undertook a detailed review of City Program and Agency expenses and revenues; explored key issues; considered additional new/enhanced services and capital requests and took into account the public's input. Based on these deliberations, Budget Committee, on February 20, 2019 recommended an increase from $54.7 million to $63.6 million (or $8.9 million) for new and enhanced service priorities that primarily advance affordable housing; arts and culture outcomes.

 

The 2019 Budget Committee Recommended Tax Supported Operating Budget is $11.559 billion gross and $4.313 billion net, representing an increase of $340.2 million or 3.0 percent in gross expenditures and $137.7 million or 3.3 percent in net expenditures over 2018.  The $137.7 million net increase is offset by assessment growth of $61.1 million and a budgetary property tax increase of 1.80 percent that includes an inflationary residential property tax rate increase of 2.55 percent.  This increase will generate an additional $76.6 million in property tax revenue for 2019.

 

The 2019 Budget Committee Recommended Tax Supported Operating Budget of $11.559 billion gross and $4.313 billion net maintains current service levels and continues investments started but not fully implemented in 2018 totalling $253.4 million and recommends new investments of $63.6 million in 2019, for a total of $317.0 million. These investments implement Council strategies for poverty reduction, environmental sustainability, and advance city building and mobility initiatives.

 

The 2019 Operating Budget, as recommended by Budget Committee, proposes the phased elimination of solid waste bin rebates for single family homes over 3 years, beginning with the large bin to increase waste diversion and move to a full solid waste utility program; the decline in Municipal Land Transfer Tax revenues which is offset with a partial reduction in the annual capital contribution; incorporates a Toronto Transit Commission fare increase of 10 cents per ride and requests the Federal funding to sustain costs to accommodate a 100 percent year over year increase in refugees and asylum seekers in the City's shelters since 2016. 

 

Regarding the Budget Committee Recommended 10-Year Capital Plan, actions are recommended to: reassess the 10-year Capital Plan's requirements based on the City's capacity to deliver; and mature the City's asset management practices to best reflect actual needs. In addition, integrating official, service and capital plans, setting City-wide priorities and maximizing debt and non-debt funding strategies will establish a roadmap for the City. 

 

A total of $785.0 million in new capital investments have been added to the City's 10-Year Capital Plan to meet the City's most critical needs for transit, bridges, service modernization, emergency service facilities, and accessibility improvements. These new investments are made possible through realigning cash flow funding to better match project spending, implementing stage-gating for major capital projects, and maximizing non-debt funding sources. 

 

In addition, the 2019 - 2028 Budget Committee Recommended Tax Supported Capital Budget and Plan includes $12.785 billion or 49 percent cash flow funding dedicated to maintaining the City's extensive infrastructure and assets in a state of good repair while the remaining 50 percent is allocated to service improvement and growth related projects to address service demands and help prepare the City for future growth.

 

The Budget Committee Recommended 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan, demonstrates the City's commitment to provide reliability in the use of current assets that support City services and build the infrastructure needed to improve Toronto's service delivery and support its growth. Notwithstanding the above, challenges to fund the increasing state of good repair backlog and growing unmet capital needs remain.

 

The 2019 Budget Committee Recommended Capital Budget totals $3.800 billion (including 2018 carry forward funding of $0.818 billion) requiring $1.742 billion in debt funding and resultant future year cash flow funding commitments of $10.861 billion. In addition, this report requests approval of the 2020 - 2028 Capital Plan of $12.386 billion in planned estimates, which will form the basis for developing future capital budgets and plans, in accordance with the City's multi-year financial planning and budgeting policies and practices. Staff will report on final carry forward funding to City Council in mid-2019.

 

With a significant investment in state of good repair funding, the accumulated state of good repair backlog estimate is still projected to increase from $6.024 billion (2018) to $9.506 billion (2028). Also, the City's unmet capital needs total nearly $13.6 billion over the next 15 years, approximately $8.2 billion are state of good repair projects to maintain the City's assets in good working condition, $3.6 billion are growth related projects, and $1.0 billion are for service improvement. This estimate excludes the Toronto Transit Commission's recently released Capital Improvement Plan; Transit Expansion programme beyond the Scarborough and SmartTrack projects as well as local, area and City revitalization projects in development. Further actions are recommended to address the challenge of funding these unmet capital needs.

 

Keeping pace with a growing population will require the City to continue investing in the improvement and expansion of services while ensuring that current service levels are not eroded. Work is underway to modernize the City's budget process, review and innovate service delivery; assess the adequacy of City reserves and develop funding strategies and partnerships.

5a - Auditor General's Office 2019 Operating Budget

Origin
(January 21, 2019) Report from the Auditor General
Summary

This report transmits to Budget Committee the recommended 2019 Operating Budget for the Auditor General's Office.

 

The Auditor General's report (Attachment 1) provides information to the Budget Committee on her Office's 2019 Operating Budget request. The report supplements the budget notes (Attachment 2) being submitted to the Budget Committee for consideration during its deliberation on the City's 2019 budget, which launches on January 28, 2019.

 

Chapter 3 of the Toronto Municipal Code states that "The Auditor General shall submit his or her annual budget request to the Audit Committee for consideration and recommendation to Council".

 

In normal circumstances, the budget of the Auditor General’s Office would be considered by the Audit Committee in October, prior to its submission to the Budget Committee. Due to the election and the compressed budget process time frame, this was not possible.

 

The Audit Committee will consider the Auditor General's report and 2019 Operating Budget request at its meeting on February 22, 2019. The Audit Committee will submit its recommendation regarding the Auditor General's 2019 Operating Budget to Council through Executive Committee at its meeting on March 4, 2019, so that the recommendations from both the Budget Committee and the Audit Committee are before the Executive Committee at the same time.

 

This approach is consistent with the past practice taken following the 2014 election. The current Budget Chief and the former Chair of the Audit Committee have been updated on the approach being taken this year.

5i - Toronto's Participatory Budgeting Pilot Evaluation

Origin
(January 31, 2019) Report from the City Manager
Summary

This report summarizes the findings from Toronto's 2015 to 2017 participatory budgeting pilot. The City of Toronto piloted participatory budgeting in the former Ward 33 and the Neighbourhood Improvement Areas of Oakridge in the former Ward 35, and Rustic in the former Ward 12. The findings from the pilot suggest that participatory budgeting may be an appropriate method of public participation under certain conditions, but has limitations and should be understood within the City's broader objectives and civic engagement strategy.

 

Many people use the term "participatory budgeting" to describe a wide range of civic engagement methods related to budgets, such as consultations, online budget guides and calculators, or public deputations or hearings.

 

However, participatory budgeting is distinct from other budget consultations and specifically refers to a method that invites the public to propose ideas, vote and have the final say on how a portion of a government's budget will be allocated.

 

The Pilot evaluation, along with research on participatory budgeting in other jurisdictions, found that:

 

- Residents seek and value clear information and ongoing opportunities to be more involved in decisions which affect their neighbourhoods, including local improvements and infrastructure planning;


- The public would like more opportunities to speak directly with City staff on a wide range of issues that are important to them, and appreciate engagement processes which include ways for them meet their neighbours, local groups and their Councillor; and


- Participatory budgeting supports specific types of decisions and can benefit communities, but has limited reach, is resource-intensive and can result in frustration, divisions within communities and a mismatch of investments against broader community needs.

 
Staff will share the feedback, templates, materials, and evaluation reports developed during the Pilot with City Councillors, City Divisions and community partners who may choose to host a participatory budgeting process or use participatory budgeting in their work.

 

The City Manager's Office will continue to review the City's civic engagement strategies to support decision making using a mix of appropriate engagement methodologies to involve and engage more residents on more issues than might be possible through participatory budgeting alone, including in capital infrastructure or local improvement decisions.

 

This report includes information on potential operating and capital costs, should City Council wish to consider implementing participatory budgeting more broadly in the future.

 

The full Participatory Budgeting Pilot evaluation report is available at https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/get-involved/participatory-budgeting/ and data from participant surveys and community improvement ideas suggested by residents can be found in the City's Open Data Catalogue https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/open-data/open-data-catalogue/.

5r - Investments in Culture

Origin
(February 1, 2019) Report from the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture
Summary

In 2018, the City of Toronto reached its longstanding target of directly investing $25 per capita in culture (including the arts, film and entertainment industries, and museums and heritage). The 2018 per capita is calculated using Statistics Canada's census population of 2.7 million people in 2016. This target was first established as part of the Culture Plan for the Creative City in 2003, when Toronto was investing $14 per capita with a population of 2.4 million people.

 

The City of Toronto has made significant progress. While all the impacts of increased cultural investment cannot be attributed solely to City funding, the sector has performed well overall, increasing earned revenues, expanding programming partnerships, and funding new positions to support the film and music sectors. New signature programs such as Cultural Hotspot, and two new local arts service organizations, North York Arts and East End Arts are the direct result of increased investment.

 

However, issues of equity and access to arts and heritage programs, affordable and sustainable space, adoption of new technologies and talent retention outside the downtown core remain.

5s - Strengthening Toronto's Ability to Attract and Host Major Events Through the Toronto Significant Events Investment Program

Origin
(February 1, 2019) Report from the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture
Summary

Significant events have a large economic and tourism impact and play an important role in promoting Toronto as an international destination. Such events can advance City priorities and strategies, create jobs, attract visitors, and leave lasting legacies for the community. Given the volume of such events seeking the City's support, City Council adopted on June 7, 2016 the City of Toronto Bidding and Hosting Strategy for Significant Special Events providing a framework for managing and evaluating significant event opportunities in Toronto. Among the key objectives of the report was a commitment to identify dedicated resources to support competitive event opportunities that provide a high return on investment for the City.

 

This report recommends that the total new funding included in the 2019 Staff Recommended Operating Budget of $750,000 gross and $0 net, fully funded from the Major Special Events Reserve Fund be awarded to support the 2019 successful applicant organizations. It also recommends that a plan to establish ongoing tax base funding for the Toronto Significant Event Investment Program be submitted to the 2020 Budget Process for consideration.

5w - Housing Secretariat Staffing Resources Review - Housing Now Initiative

Origin
(February 15, 2019) Report from the City Manager
Summary

On December 13, 2018, City Council approved the new Housing Now Initiative to activate 11 City-owned sites for the development of affordable housing within mixed-income, mixed-use and transit-oriented communities. This initiative is to create approximately 3,700 new affordable rental homes.

 

On January 30, 2019, City Council approved an action plan to deliver the Housing Now Initiative and to identify the resources required to expedite the implementation process. This included establishment of a Housing Secretariat Office to manage the overall implementation of the initiative, with funding of $352,500 in 2019 for three (3) temporary positions including salary, benefits and equipment.

 

This report responds to Council direction on January 30, 2019 that the City Manager review the Housing Secretariat staffing allocation to determine if positions can be filled using existing staff resources from the Affordable Housing Office, CreateTO and City Planning and to report the results of this review to the Budget Committee as part of the 2019 Budget Process.

 

Based on a review carried out by City staff, there are insufficient staffing resources to fill Housing Secretariat positions using the existing staff complement from the Affordable Housing Office, CreateTO and City Planning, given their existing and ongoing work including the Open Door Program.
