Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to present the 2010 Budget Committee (BC) Recommended Operating Budget for City Programs, Agencies, Boards and Commissions, and to obtain Council’s approval of the services, service levels and spending plans detailed therein. The recommended budget includes a residential property tax increase of 2.9%, and a non residential property tax of 0.967% which, together represent a 1.83% increase on the total property tax base.
The 2010 Budget Committee Recommended Gross Operating Budget of $9.214 billion is 38% funded by property tax revenues (the net budget) totalling $3.534 billion. This budget protects key services and initiatives that continue to help Toronto residents and businesses during the prevailing economic uncertainty. The 2010 Recommended Gross Operating Budget reflects an increase of 3% over 2009. Primarily, the increase is driven by the commitment to maintain and protect key services such as police, transit, recreation, and children and social services; and to address the adverse Ontario Works caseload impact of the ongoing recession. Altogether, the services listed above increased by $297 million or 97% of the total gross expenditure increase of $305 million.
For the third consecutive year, the operating budget was balanced upon introduction to the public on February 16, 2010. This was achieved despite the lack of transit funding assistance from the Province, which was considered as part of the City’s strategy to address the annual operating budget shortfall. Balancing the 2010 Operating Budget was achieved through a service review initiative that commenced in May 2009 and was focussed on achieving a $170 million base budget reduction target in each of 2010 and 2011, as well as: increased user fees and introduction of new user fees; further upload of provincial services (including the Ontario Drug Benefit program (ODB) and the Ontario Works benefits and the cost of administration (COA) cap removal); contributions from reserves, tax increases and utilization of 2009 operating budget surplus. It is noted that unsustainable/one-time strategies used in the 2010 Operating Budget total $343 million, $108 million less than the $451 million utilized in 2009.
