(April 26, 2017) Report from the City Librarian

Summary

This report requests authority to amend the Toronto Public Library (TPL) Council Approved 2016 Capital Budget and 2017 Capital Budget by adjusting cash flows contained within the Budgets to align with actual 2016 year-end expenditures and project progress for three capital projects. The adjustments are due to timing differences and will increase the 2016 Capital Budget and decrease the 2017 Capital Budget by $2.908 million gross ($2.847 million debt and $0.061 million development charges (DC) funding), with a zero budget impact on each project's overall cost.
