That City Council request the Treasurer, Office of the Treasurer, to report back to City Council by July 2014 on options to render Revenue Services Call Centre staffing levels more cost efficient while improving productivity.  Given that the average Support Assistant answers on average 35 calls per day; that 87% of calls are resolved at first contact, and that the call abandonment rate was approximately 30.3% in 2012 (target for 2014 is to bring it down to 20%), such a report will indicate how Revenue Services Call Centre can improve Support Assistant productivity and customer service to achieve a saving of $66,000.

Origin

(January 20, 2014) Report from the City Manager and the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer

Summary

CAPITAL BUDGET

 

This report presents the City of Toronto's Tax Supported 2014 - 2023 Budget Committee (BC) Recommended Capital Budget and Plan and recommends approval of 2014 Budget and future year cash flow commitments for capital projects.  Furthermore, this report requests Council’s approval of the 2015 - 2023 Capital Plan, which will form the basis for developing future capital budgets, in accordance with the City’s multi-year financial planning and budgeting policies and practices.

 

The 2014 - 2023 BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan satisfies Council's strategic priorities, as well as the recently approved Strategic Actions, specifically targeting the following strategic goals:  Infrastructure for a Successful City and Community Capacity and Stewardship of City Resources and Assets. The 10-Year Capital Plan continues to advance on the City's long term fiscal plan objectives and focuses on infrastructure rehabilitation. It places priority on projects that protect the health and safety of citizens, meets 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 2014 - 2023 BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan achieves a balance between maintaining assets in a state of good repair and accommodating growth and fulfills the following strategic objectives:

 

-           Provides for growth in strategic areas and priority service expansion projects in key program areas to accommodate service demands and expectations of the public in a sustainable manner.

 

-           Protects the City’s $37.2 billion in infrastructure and physical assets for Tax Supported Programs by making significant strides in managing the accumulated state of good repair backlog which currently represents about 6.0% of the total estimated asset value. Despite the significant investment in maintaining and protecting the City’s infrastructure and physical assets, there continues to be a gap between capital spending needs and affordable funding estimates.

 

-           Over the 10 year period, SOGR investment in the 2014 -2023 BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan will address estimated $12.722 billion of SOGR requirements. However, the additional SOGR requirements total $13.008 billion which will result in the 10 year accumulated backlog increasing by $287.050 million or 14.1%. This funding gap has resulted in a growing backlog that is estimated at $2.325 billion at the end of 2023 representing approximately 6.3% of City's total estimated asset value.

 

-           Notwithstanding significant funding challenges, the 2014 - 2023 Capital Budget and Plan is fiscally prudent and balances the capital spending needs for infrastructure maintenance with the objective of ensuring that the City’s debt burden remains below the Council approved maximum debt service charge ratio of 15%.   In 2014 the debt service charge ratio inclusive of the Scarborough Subway debt charges is budgeted at 11.0%, peaking at 13.2% in 2019 before declining to 11.2% in 2023, leaving room for emergency works and the potential for interest rate increases in the future.

 

 

-           In order to manage debt, the 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan strategically applies non-debt capital funding strategies comprised of the continuation of the 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 TTC's $6.325 billion 10-Year BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan with the application of the capital non-debt financing strategy that includes $1.129 billion in reserve funding, $253 million in increased DC financing and  $123.708 million in debt financing beyond the TTC Debt target. Investing in public transit infrastructure is part of the City's plan to reduce gridlock and strengthen communities. The Council approved Scarborough Subway Extension Project of $3.437 billion underscores this effort and is jointly funded by the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto. The three-stop subway from Kennedy to Sheppard will provide a critical extension for the existing Toronto Transit Commission subway system.

 

-           Despite the significant funds allocated to TTC 10-Year Capital Plan; a $2.526 billion shortfall over the 2014-2023 time-frame exists.  To address this funding shortfall, there is a need for a tri-party partnership by the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto to establish a funding strategy to support TTC's ongoing capital pressures. A task force will be established comprised of the TTC Chair, the TTC CEO, the TTC CFAO, the City Manager and the City CFO to seek and secure funding from both the Federal and Provincial governments.

 

-           Accommodates Transportation Services' $3.081 billion 10-Year BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan, with the application of the approved capital financing strategy introduced in 2013. The capital financing strategy will continue to help fund capital work required for the F.G. Gardiner Expressway, investment in road resurfacing and reconstruction and key capital works to address traffic congestion.

 

-           Accommodates Parks, Forestry and Recreation's $1.081 billion 10-Year BC Recommended Capital Budget and Plan, which is $286 million higher than last year's 10-Year plan, and includes $165 million additional funding in SOGR which will reduce accumulated backlog in 4 key asset categories: Pools, Community Centres, Arenas, and Trails and Pathways.

 

-           Over the 10 year period, debt funding (excluding the Scarborough Subway) is reduced to approximately $509 million, driven primarily by increased Capital from Current funding and $395 million in new DC funding following the approval of the new DC By-law.  As a result, the City has managed to maintain debt at affordable levels.

 

OPERATING BUDGET

 

This report presents the 2014 Budget Committee (BC) Recommended Tax Supported Operating Budget and seeks Council’s approval for the services, service levels, and spending plans detailed therein.

 

The 2014 BC Recommended Tax Supported Operating Budget of $9.6 billion gross and $3.8 billion net is built on 2 solid foundations:

 

Investing for the Future

 

The 2014 BC Recommended Tax Supported Operating Budget focuses on key strategic priorities to enhance the City's economic vitality, and support the social development for our diverse and vulnerable residents and for City building.  It addresses service needs, makes new investments as directed by City Council while keeping the cost of City services affordable.  The Budget has also been established using an improved budget process through implementation of service based budgeting and provides new and enhanced materials and web site to make the process more user friendly and easier to understand.

 

Strengthening Our Fiscal Health

 

For a second consecutive year, major advancements were made in achieving fiscal sustainability by eliminating the use of prior year’s surplus and ensuring property tax increases were below the general rate of inflation.  Revenue sources were maximized in accordance with expenditure growth.  Furthermore, the 2014 BC Recommended Tax Supported Operating Budget includes a moderate Toronto Transit Commission fare increase of 5 cents and a 1.1% average tax levy increase over the 2013 budget which is below the general rate of inflation.  Based on the City's tax policy, this results in a 1.67% residential and 0.56% non-residential property tax increase.  With City Council approving the additional tax increase for the Scarborough Subway construction (0.5% residential and 0.17% non-residential) the overall recommended property tax increase in 2014 will be 2.17% for residential and 0.72% for non-residential.

 

2015 and 2016 Outlook

 

The City is still facing budgetary pressures in future years.  It is estimated that the Outlook pressure in 2015 and 2016 is $332 million and $203 million respectively after taking into account potential revenue, tax, and TTC fare increases.  The pressures are primarily due to the elimination of the Provincial Toronto Pooling Compensation funding and depletion of reserve and reserve funds.  The operating pressure is a result of the Provincial funding loss of about $43 million per year or $129 million over the three years from 2014 to 2016.

 

In 2014, the pressure is addressed by offsetting loan interest which is only a one-time solution.  In 2015, the pressure will be doubled to about $86 million.  In addition, transit and inflation costs continue to add pressure to the Operating Budget.  The City is moving towards service based budgets and making every effort to find efficiencies to reduce operating costs.  In the mean time, the City also needs to find additional sustainable revenue sources to strengthen fiscal health and invest in the future.

1e - Youth Equity Strategy Funding in 2014 Budget

Origin
(December 4, 2013) Letter from the Community Development and Recreation Committee
Summary

The Toronto Youth Equity Strategy will be considered at the January 21, 2014 Community Development and Recreation Committee. The Strategy is focused on youth who are at highest risk of involvement in serious violence or crime. The Strategy takes this focus because these youth are being missed by our anti-violence programs and strategies.

 

Since June 2013, an interdivisional staff committee comprising staff from 9 divisions, agencies, and corporations have worked with an external advisory panel of youth and youth-serving community agency staff to develop the Strategy. Staff are building the Strategy upon the foundation of the Roots of Youth Violence report, incorporating promising practices identified in research and consultation with community groups and other orders of government. Finally, the Strategy is being developed to reflect youth’s experiences.

 

A modest investment of resources in the 2014 operating budget would ensure that the first phase of work can begin immediately upon Council’s approval of the Toronto Youth Equity Strategy. Resources to implement both prevention and intervention initiatives will help to reduce instances of youth violence.

 

The following initiatives have been identified as key opportunities to carry the work of the Strategy forward into 2014. These criminal justice and social development activities allow for cross-corporate engagement in priority areas of mental health, skills development & economic opportunity, justice & community safety, and accountability. In total, they can be achieved for a combined 2014 investment of $494,000.00.

Origin
(October 31, 2013) Letter from the Audit Committee
Summary

This report provides information relating to the 2014 budget for the Auditor General’s Office and a budget for approval by the Audit Committee.

 

An analysis of the budget request is as follows:

 

 

2014 Budget Request

2013 Approved Budget

Increase           %

Budget

$4,639,100

$4,177,600

$461,500         11.04  

 

The budget request of the Auditor General for 2014 has increased by $461,500 from the 2013 level.  The increase in the Auditor General’s budget from 2013 to 2014 is 11.04 per cent.  This increase is due to the following:

 

The filling of two approved positions previously gapped in order to meet prior years budget targets

$295,600

Cost of living and performance pay increases for existing staff

$137,600

Increase in benefit costs

$26,000

Increase related to “economic factors”

$2,300

 

$461,500

 

The increase in the Auditor General's budget from 2013 to 2014 excluding the filling of the two previously gapped positions would be $165,900.  This represents a four per cent increase over the 2013 approved budget.

 

The majority of the Auditor General’s 2014 budget request consists of salaries and benefits.  The percentage of salaries and benefits to the total budget is just under 97 per cent.

1s - Student Nutrition Program Update on the First Year of the Five-Year Plan and 2014 Operating Budget Request

Origin
(October 8, 2013) Letter from the Board of Health
Summary

In 2012, the Board of Health endorsed a five-year plan to stabilize and expand student nutrition programs in Toronto.  City Council approved a funding enhancement to the Student Nutrition Program for the first year of the plan in 2013.

 

This report provides a progress update on the first year of the plan and outlines a request to increase the 2014 Operating Budget for the second year by $1,771,460 aimed at covering inflationary increases, incrementally increasing the City's investment to 14% of total program costs, and funding for 27 new programs in schools serving higher need communities.  The report also outlines the mechanisms in place which form the accountability framework providing oversight of the City's investment in the program, and proposes that a review of options for strengthening program governance be undertaken to strategically position the Student Nutrition Program for future investment and expansion.

 

Student nutrition programs are currently supported through a cost-shared partnership funding model between parents/community, municipal, provincial, and private sectors.  An increase in the municipal investment demonstrates the City's commitment to the nutritional health of children and youth and clearly signals a call to action to other sectors and levels of government.

1ad - Toronto's 2011 Performance Measurement and Benchmarking Report

Origin
(April 23, 2013) Letter from the Executive Committee
Summary

This report and the accompanying Attachment A, entitled "Toronto’s 2011 Performance Measurement and Benchmarking Report", provide approximately 230 service/activity level indicators and performance measurement results in 33 service areas. Up to eleven years of Toronto’s historical data are included to examine short- and long-term internal trends, and 2011 results are compared externally to 15 other municipalities through the Ontario Municipal CAOs Benchmarking Initiative (OMBI).

 

This 2011 report differs from previous years through the addition of:

 

-           Five more service areas:

-           City Clerk's Office

-           Court Services

-           Fleet Services

-           Payroll Services

-           Purchasing Services

 

It should be noted that the annual data collection process for the information published in this report is a result of a joint effort with other OMBI municipalities.  The 2012 data and results will not be available until mid-2013. However, in some instances, Toronto's 2012 results were available and have been included in this report.

 

More timely information is reported on a quarterly basis to the Executive Committee through the Management Information Dashboard that provides current information for Toronto with respect to economic, social and divisional indicators. The most recent report for 2012 Quarter 4 is available at http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2013/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-56578.pdf.

 

Toronto’s 2011 Performance Measurement and Benchmarking Report is centred on results that can be quantified. It is equally important to consider achievements from 2012 and initiatives planned for 2013 that can further improve Toronto’s services. These have been included at the end of each service section in Attachment A and highlights are also provided related to continuous improvement initiatives (on pages 11 to 15 of the attached) under the headings of customer service, efficiency, effectiveness and quality of life. These initiatives are illustrative of staff efforts to build and foster a climate and culture of continuous improvement in our services.

 

Toronto is unique among Ontario municipalities because of its size and its role as the centre of business, culture, entertainment, sporting and provincial and international governance activities in the Greater Toronto Area. Therefore, the most accurate comparison for Toronto is to examine its own year-over-year results and longer-term historical trends. Results from the report show:

 

-           Toronto's 2011 service or activity level indicators increased or were maintained for 78 percent of the indicators in relation to 2010.

-           Toronto's 2011 performance measurement results in the areas of customer service/quality, community impact and efficiency showed 72 percent of the measures had either improved or stable results relative to 2010.

 

Notwithstanding Toronto’s unique place in Ontario, there is also value in comparing Toronto’s 2011 results to those of other Ontario municipalities for additional perspective. The report also includes comparative results of the cities of Winnipeg, MB and Calgary, AB in a number of the service areas.

 

Toronto’s 2011 results have been ranked by quartile in relation to these other municipalities. Results show:

 

-           Toronto’s service/activity indicators are at or higher than the OMBI median for 59 percent of the indicators. Toronto's much higher population density is a key factor in areas with lower activity levels or resources devoted to the service.

 

-           Toronto’s performance measurement results in the areas of customer service, community impact and efficiency are at or higher than the OMBI median for 50 percent of the measures.

 

Factors that influence why Toronto's results are higher or lower in relation to other municipalities include its high population density, its more developed urban form and older infrastructure. These influencing factors are discussed in the report.

 

There were few changes in Toronto’s quartile ranking for each of the indicators and measures between Toronto’s 2010 and 2011 Benchmarking Reports. Changes in Toronto’s quartile ranking for individual measures are more likely to occur over longer time periods, especially from 2012 and beyond with enhanced efficiencies identified through the City's Service Efficiency Studies.

 

It has been recognized that Toronto should expand its benchmarking work beyond Ontario to a broader world context. Staff are working with the Global City Indicators Facility (GCIF), based at the University of Toronto, to develop a standardized set of city indicators that measure and monitor city performance and quality of life globally. Toronto staff have made a significant contribution to date, including the sharing of our experiences in benchmarking work done through OMBI and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Quality of Life Indicators. Toronto has been recognized by staff of the World Bank and the GCIF as one of the world leaders in these areas.

1ae - Municipal Land Transfer Tax Reduction Options

Origin
(July 3, 2013) Letter from the Executive Committee
Summary

This report responds to a request from Executive Committee to report to the July 3, 2013 Executive Committee on potential options for capping, reducing (by 10%) or eliminating the City's Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT) over four years, through reductions to applicable tax rates and increases to the first-time home buyer rebate.

 

Potential revenue impacts would depend on how much the rates in each tier of the MLTT tax structure are reduced, and whether the first time home purchasers rebate is amended.  Based on the 2012 net MLTT revenue of $344.5 million, a 10% reduction of the MLTT is equal to $34.5 million (or 1.5% of residential property tax impact).  A 25% reduction is equal to $86.1 million (or 3.6% residential property tax impact).

 

The MLTT has become a key sustainable own-source City revenue since its 2008 inception, generating almost 10% of the net tax-supported operating budget.  Although the City is approaching fiscal sustainability, the current 2014 operating budget outlook requires an efficiency savings target of $197 million to $203 million, after an assumed 1.75% to 2% property tax increase and other user fee increases.  Any reductions in the MLTT revenue would increase operating budget funding pressures and resulting expenditure program impacts for 2014 and beyond.

 

Staff are hesitant to amend MLTT tax rates before any consideration of the potential expenditure and program impacts.  As a result, it is recommended that this report be forwarded to Budget Committee for consideration of the 2014 budget.

1aj - Children's Services Amendment to 2014 Recommended Operating Budget to Reflect Increase in Provincial Contributions

Origin
(December 18, 2013) Report from the General Manager, Children's Services
Summary

This report seeks approval to amend the proposed Children's Services 2014 Operating Budget to reflect additional Provincial Funding. On November 19, 2013, the City received notification of its 2014 funding allocation. Funding from the Ministry of Education will increase from $275.182 million to $296.018 million, an increase of $20.836 million, or 7.6%.

 

The 2014 Recommended Operating Budget for Children's Services, developed prior to the provincial announcement, is $403.463 million gross. It includes a projected 1% increase in provincial funding of $2.752 million and a withdrawal $13.863 million from the Child Care Expansion Reserve Fund to maintain 2013 service levels. The incremental impact on the 2014 Recommended Operating Budget for Children's Services is $17.184 million gross, $0 net.

 

The investment strategy recommended in this report support several goals of the Council approved Child Care Service Plan, including those related to age and geographic equity as it relates to the availability of child care spaces and fee subsidy. The strategy allows the City to amend service standards in a manner that optimizes access to Provincial funding through the Utilization Allocation and enhances access to care by families of younger more vulnerable children.

1am - Municipal Land Transfer Tax Reduction Options - Supplementary Report

Origin
(December 30, 2013) Report from the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer
Summary

This supplementary report builds on the report from the City Manager and the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer to the July 3, 2013 Executive Committee EX33.28 titled "Municipal Land Transfer Tax Reduction Options" which was referred to the Budget Committee to be dealt with as part of the 2014 budget process.  That report contained potential options for capping, reducing (by 10%), or eliminating the City's Municipal Land transfer Tax (MLTT) over four years.  This report focuses on the more moderate option for reducing the tax by 10% or less.

 

The preliminary 2014 budget for net Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT) revenue is $335 million, based on 2014 net revenue of $350 million matching the projected 2013 net actual revenue, and incorporating an offsetting $15 million buffer provision for the risk of housing market slowdown.  The budget figure does not take any potential rate changes into account.  A 10% reduction on its own would reduce revenue by an estimated $35 million, equivalent to a 1.5% residential property tax increase.

 

The MLTT has been an important City revenue since its 2008 implementation, and has grown to generate almost 10% funding for the net tax-supported operating budget.  To replace it entirely with property tax would require a 15% increase in the residential property tax.  City Council has recently approved, as one of the strategic actions for 2013-2018 under the Fiscal Sustainability theme, the expansion of the City's revenue base including revenues that grow with the economy as part of the long-term fiscal plan.  Reducing the MLTT revenue would be inconsistent with that strategic action, and is therefore not recommended.

1aq - Operating Budget Variance Report for the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2013

Origin
(December 17, 2013) Report from the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer
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, 2013 as well as year-end projections and to request Council's approval for amendments to the 2013 Approved Operating Budget between Programs to ensure accurate reporting and financial accountability with no increase to the 2013 Approved Net Operating Budget.

 

The estimates presented in this report do not reflect any spending from the recent ice storm.  These will be reported separately and will be reflected in the final Operating Variance Report for the Twelve-Month Period Ended December 31, 2013.

 

The purpose of this report is to provide Council with the City of Toronto Operating Variance for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 as well as year-end projections and to request Council's approval for amendments to the 2013 Approved Operating Budget between Programs to ensure accurate reporting and financial accountability with no increase to the 2013 Approved Net Operating Budget.

 

The estimates presented in this report do not reflect any spending from the recent ice storm.  These will be reported separately and will be reflected in the final Operating Variance Report for the Twelve-Month Period Ended December 31, 2013.

 

(See Table 1 of the Summary Section of the report dated December 17, 2013 from the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer)

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, Tax Supported Operations reported a net favourable variance of $112.199 million or 4.2%, as noted in Table 1 above.  Under-spending was driven largely by salary and benefit savings from vacant positions that were not filled and reduction in caseload for Toronto Employment and Social Services.  In addition, higher than budgeted revenue from permit applications for Toronto Building, Municipal Land Transfer Tax and Third Party Sign Tax contributed to the favourable net variance.

Projections indicate that the 2013 year-end net favourable variance will be $92.908 million or 2.5%.  The projected under-expenditure will result primarily from salary and benefit savings arising from vacant positions that will not be filled, significant reduction in Tax Deficiencies, continuation of lower caseload for Toronto Employment and Social Services combined with higher than planned revenue from the Municipal Land Transfer Tax and permit applications for Toronto Building.

 

The Table below summarizes Rate Supported Program net variances:

 

(See Table 2 of the Summary Section of the report dated December 17, 2013 from the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer)

 

The net savings were driven by Toronto Water's gross under-spending combined with over-achieved revenue.  Rate Supported Programs project a 2013 year-end favourable variance of $25.961 million.

1ar - 2014 Operating Budget - Authority to Enter into Agreement with Metrolinx for Street Art Projects

Origin
(January 7, 2014) Report from the General Manager, Transportation Services
Summary

Metrolinx has identified many sections of their infrastructure recently built or currently being constructed that could be subject to graffiti and would, therefore, benefit from the resulting beautification and proactive installation of street art. Given the success of the City's StreetARToronto (StART) program in facilitating and coordinating street art installations, Metrolinx approached StART staff about administering and implementing street art projects on its behalf. Apart from administering a grants program, StART's mandate as established in the Graffiti Management Plan (July 2011), has been to enter into partnerships with the public and private sectors for purposes of creating street art and averting graffiti vandalism.  

 

Due to the scale of Metrolinx's request and the revenue to be received by the City for this purpose, this report seeks Council authority to enter into an agreement with Metrolinx.  The report also seeks authority for staff to enter any other large scale implementation project of this type in the future, subject to the identified agency or partner providing complete cost recovery.

1au - False Fire Alarms - Rebates for Residential Properties

Origin
(January 14, 2014) Report from the Fire Chief and General Manager, Toronto Fire Services
Summary

This report responds to City Council's request that the Fire Chief and General Manager, Toronto Fire Services report on the implementation of a rebate program concerning "first time" alarms. This report also responds to City Council's request that the Fire Chief review the City's existing "False Alarm Bylaw" (Municipal Code Chapters 433 & 442) and report back through the 2014 budget process on potential amendments which, while not affecting the overall Fire Services' Budget, may encourage property owners with significant false alarm issues rather than a "one-time" issue to take corrective actions.

 

The City charges fees only for the purposes of recovering the costs incurred by Toronto Fire Services ("TFS") in responding to a fire alarm caused by the negligent or intentional misuse of a fire alarm system ("Malicious False Alarm") or by the mechanical failure, equipment malfunction or improper maintenance or installation of the fire alarm system ("Nuisance False Alarm"). The City does not charge fees for "false alarms" resulting in the activation of the fire alarm under circumstances that would have caused a careful or prudent person to believe that a fire-related emergency was in progress, or where the activation occurred as a result of accidental damage to the system.  The objective of the fee is to recover the costs to the public of TFS attending at a Nuisance False Alarm or a Malicious False Alarm.

 

Currently the City operates numerous programs to reduce the number of incidents of false alarms by encouraging property owners with false alarm issues to take corrective actions.  In determining options related to an additional rebate program, TFS has reviewed the occurrence, and nature of false alarms at various types of properties. Attendances at "single family homes" to address Nuisance False Alarms represent approximately 5% of the Nuisance False Alarms on average annually.

Based on the review, the cost in equipment and staff time expended in responding to Nuisance False Alarms at "single family homes" is, on average, slightly lower than the costs incurred in responding to Nuisance False Alarms at other types of properties. Based on this review, TFS proposes amending the fees charged for responding to a Nuisance False Alarm at a "single family home" to provide an automatic reduction in, or rebate of, fees in the amount of $410 at the time of billing for the first incident which occurs in a twelve calendar month period. All additional incidents will be invoiced according to the current process, at the current fees amounts.

1av - Proposed Funding of 2013 Extreme Weather Events

Origin
(January 21, 2014) Report from the City Manager and the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer
Summary

On December 21 and 22, 2013, the City of Toronto experienced an extreme winter storm that produced freezing rain, ice pellets and severe wind resulting in wide-spread power outages and damage to the City's tree canopy.  Fallen trees and tree limbs took down power lines and created hazardous conditions blocking roadways, public trails and waterways.

 

As of January 20, 2014, staff estimate that the cost of the December 21 and 22, 2013 winter storm for City divisions, agencies and corporations is approximately $107 million, which includes expenses to respond to the emergency and address public safety hazards created by the storm, revenues lost in 2013 as a result of service interruptions, and expenditures required to repair the City's tree canopy.  Toronto's ability to deal with these significant cost pressures is exacerbated by the financial pressures resulting from the July 8, 2013 storm event that, as reported to Council on November 13, 2013, is estimated to have cost the City $65.2 million.  The combined cost to the City of the two events is estimated to be in excess of $172 million.

 

At its Special meeting held on January 10 and 13, 2014, City Council adopted a number of resolutions in its consideration of CC46.1 “Impacts from the December 2013 Extreme Winter Storm Event on the City of Toronto” including a request that the Provincial and Federal governments provide financial assistance to the City of Toronto and Toronto Hydro for 2013 storm events with a minimum of $114 million in funding representing one third each from the Provincial and Federal governments and the City of Toronto.

 

City Council also directed the City Manager to report to the January 22, 2014 Executive Committee on the following:

 

a)         financial impacts of the storm event on the 2014 Operating and Capital Budgets, and on options to finance the City’s share of storm related costs;

b)         the feasibility of establishing an emergency reserve fund equivalent to $1.00 per month for the average assessed residential unit and the resulting equivalent amount for non-residential assessment; and

c)         the feasibility of any 2013 positive operating variance being dedicated to the disaster relief fund.

 

This report recommends a strategy to fund the City’s one-third share of the two extreme weather events in 2013, and to increase extreme weather reserve levels which will better position the City to respond to future extreme weather events.  It should be noted that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing confirmed that Toronto Hydro costs and revenue losses are not eligible for Provincial and Federal funding.  As such, staff have adjusted the one-third funding formula accordingly.

 

This report also recommends that City Council endorse the resolutions adopted by GTHA Mayors and Chairs on January 17, 2013, which called for the Provincial and Federal governments to share equally with GTA municipalities by funding one-third each of the full costs of the winter storm and to establish new programs and expand existing programs to address disaster mitigation and other severe storm events that reflect the reality of climate change.
