Origin

(September 18, 2009) Report from the Budget Committee

Summary

This report seeks approval to reallocate $13.218 million of funding among various sub-projects within the “Waterfront Revitalization Initiative” Project in the 2009 Approved Capital Budget for Waterfront Renewal.  This change reflects Waterfront Toronto’s updated financial requirements for the year, and ensures that Federal funds are expended by March 31, 2011, the current Federal sunset date for the Waterfront Initiative.

 

The proposed adjustments will not affect implementation of any on-going priority Waterfront projects.

 

The City’s contribution to the 2009 Capital Budget for the “Waterfront Revitalization Initiative” Project will remain unchanged at the approved level of $70.713 million.  The City’s overall net contribution to Waterfront Renewal will also remain unchanged at $500.000 million.

 

The report also seeks approval for the creation of a new project in the Capital Budget for Waterfront Renewal entitled “Regional Sports Complex Planning and Design” with a total funding of $3.511 million, fully funded by Waterfront Toronto.  The City has been asked by Waterfront Toronto to implement this initiative on its behalf as the “Eligible Recipient”.  Initial activities will focus on planning, design, environmental work and business planning. This work is included in the tri-government Long-Term Funding Plan for Waterfront Renewal. It is also recommended that staff report to Council as part of the 2010 capital budget process on total project costs, confirmed and projected revenue sources and the critical path for delivery of the Regional Sports Complex.
