2d - Auditor General's Office 2021 Operating Budget

Origin
(November 19, 2020) Letter from the Audit Committee
Summary

At its meeting on November 19, 2020, the Audit Committee considered Item AU7.6, titled "Auditor General's Office 2021 Operating Budget" and made recommendations to City Council.

 

In accordance with Chapter 3 of the Toronto Municipal Code, the Auditor General is submitting her 2021 Operating Budget request to the Audit Committee for consideration and recommendation to City Council.

 

The attached report provides information relating to the Auditor General's 2021 Operating Budget request of $6.651 million. This is slightly less than the base budget request last year and is equal to 1/20th of one per cent, or 0.05 per cent, of the City's 2020 Approved Adjusted Budget. Within the requested base budget, the Auditor General is seeking to convert five temporary contract staff positions to permanent positions as part of an organizational restructure. This will result in a net zero budget impact; conversion costs will be absorbed in the base budget.

 

The budget request supports the Auditor General providing the same level of capacity to undertake value for money audits and investigations as in previous years. The Auditor General recognizes the City's ongoing financial pressures, especially with a focus on identifying savings and/or efficiencies. That being said, the benefits of performance audits that the Auditor General brings are that much more valuable. As highlighted in the Auditor General's Annual Reports, past audit reports have realized millions of dollars in cost savings, avoided costs, and identified revenue increases and new revenues.

 

The Auditor General's 2021 Work Plan is being presented to the Audit Committee at the same meeting as this 2021 Budget Request.

2j - Exhibition Place 2021 Operating Budget

Origin
(October 26, 2020) Letter from the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place
Summary

At its meeting on October 26, 2020, the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place considered Item EP14.2, titled "2021 Operating Budget" and made recommendations to City Council.

 

On August 7th, the City Manager's Office provided the preliminary 2020 Budget Process, Directions, and Guidelines for all City Divisions and Agencies for 2020 which is subject to change. Until such other direction is given the Board is following last years directive to all City Divisions and Agencies which is to submit a zero change budget year over year.

 

In preparing our budget plan, we have taken into consideration the financial impacts of COVID-19, and therefore have provided for a 0 percent COLA increase and 0 percent pay for Performance increases for 2021 per Council directives. There is still some uncertainty as to the future financial impacts and the extent of COVID-19, and it is still too early to assess 2021 operating impact. Exhibition Place staff have developed a 2021 status quo Operating Budget that is consistent with 2020 budget principles with a nil ($0) increase over the 2020 Operating Budget. This preliminary budget plan will not have an impact on the City property tax base year-over-year. Wages and benefits cost saving from delaying in hiring replacements for management staff who retired in 2020, temporary laid off of casual/temporary staff, and reduction in volume of base building maintenance and overtime.

 

Staff are optimistic that although the volatility of COVID-19 may not be completely gone, the exhibition business will return to some normalcy in a COVID-19 world, but are aware that measures may have to be taken again for 2021 with similar financial impact as in 2020. The measures taken to mitigate the risk of additional lost business or increase in costs due to COVID-19 is that all non-essential costs have been delayed/deferred, and discretionary expenditures such as travel, training, etc. has been eliminated. COVID-19 costs include both ongoing day to day service costs, as well as, restart/recover/rebuild costs.

2n - Supplementary Report to Budget Committee - Toronto Paramedic Services

Origin
(January 21, 2021) Report from the Acting Chief, Toronto Paramedic Services
Summary

This report details four strategies proposed by Toronto Paramedic Services that are in addition to the current 2021 Staff Recommended Operating Budget, fully offset through new and expanded provincial funding:

 

- expanded Community Paramedicine programming (supporting Home & Community Care);

 

- expanded Community Paramedicine programming (supporting Long-Term Care);

 

- temporary conversion of a significant number of part-time Paramedics to full-time status; and

 

- modified implementation of year two of Toronto Paramedic Services' Multi-year Staffing and Systems Plan.

 

These strategies are recommended to support new programming and maintain staffing, both of which have become progressively necessary due to greater community spread of COVID-19, and staffing and healthcare/hospital pressures.

 

Since the beginning of December 2020, COVID-related activity has created more demand on paramedic and healthcare services. The Ministries of Health and Long-Term Care are supporting new programming focused on Community Paramedic-led Home and Community Care services as well as support for long-term care. In addition to the staff needed to support new programming, Toronto Paramedic Services is experiencing an increased number of staff on self-isolation/quarantine and occupational stress injuries, requiring backfill to maintain service delivery.

 

It is anticipated that the continuing healthcare capacity challenges will also result in significant ambulance offload delays in 2021 which will negatively impact ambulance availability in the community and response times to critically-ill patients. Maintaining ambulance availability will be dependent on securing additional staff to address these pressures.

Summary

Community Librarians Outreach

 

While working onsite in partner agency locations, community librarians work closely with agency staff and clients. The intent is for the librarians to learn about and understand these clients’ information needs, and respond by providing the best possible mix of the full range of library services and programs. Community librarians have worked in many settings including Toronto Shelter, Support & Housing Administration, The Toronto East and South Detention Centres, Toronto Employment and Social Services. A 2021 budget enhancement would allow TPL to focus on delivering services in shelters, work with agencies to support individuals recently released from the correctional system and focus on confronting anti-black racism by working with agencies dedicated to serving black communities in Toronto.  The Community Librarians Outreach program would add 2 positions in 2021 and an additional 2 positions in 2022, for a cost of $0.107 million in 2021, and the full year cost of $0.411 million in 2022.

 

Digital Literacy for Seniors

 

This supports social connectedness by expanding digital literacy programs for seniors, both in branches and in the community. The in-branch program targets disadvantaged seniors who are socially isolated, with low income, and lacking digital literacy and likely both devices and home connectivity. The community-based program is designed in partnership with Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) to engage socially isolated seniors by bringing regularly scheduled library services, delivered by a community librarian, directly to the TCHC seniors’ buildings where they reside. Both in-branch and community programs will address the diverse needs and challenges among Toronto’s seniors as identified in the City of Toronto Seniors Strategy. The Digital Literacy for Seniors program would add 2 positions in 2021 and an additional 2 positions in 2022, for a cost of $0.212 million in 2021 to support the community-based program in TCHC locations, and equipment for eight branches would support the expansion of the in-branch program, with the full year cost of $0.723 million in 2022.

 

The Community Librarians Outreach and Digital Literacy for Seniors will have meaningful impact on Toronto residents and in particularly, the most vulnerable, while supporting the City's Poverty Reduction Strategy and the Seniors Strategy.  The Board appreciates your consideration.

2p - COVID-19 Financial Impacts on Corporations of the City of Toronto

Origin
(February 2, 2021) Report from the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Summary

At its meeting on September 30, 2020, City Council, as Shareholder, received the 2019 Audited Financial Statements of City corporations and partnered corporations and directed their Boards of Directors, in consultation with the City of Toronto's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, to report on the impacts of COVID-19 on corporation Operating and Capital Budgets and operations, detailing any modifications to their programs and initiatives to address COVID-19 by the first quarter of 2021.  

 

This report responds to Council's direction above and is being provided at this time to inform the 2021 Budget process.  It provides an overview of COVID-19 impacts on the operations of Build Toronto, Toronto Port Lands Company, Casa Loma, Lakeshore Arena Corporation and Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.    Toronto Hydro Corporation has also committed to providing a separate report by the first quarter of 2021 as directed.    The COVID-19 impacts on the Toronto Community Housing Corporation have been noted in City variance reporting and are included in their 2021 Budget Notes submitted to Budget Committee on January 14th, 2021. 

 

Similar to City Programs and Agencies, City corporations have experienced disruptions to their operations resulting in significant financial impacts as a result of COVID-19.  The provincial orders for the closure of establishments and non-essential businesses resulted in facility closures, decreased revenue streams, and an increase in bad debts on commercial rents.  On January 11, 2021, the province of Ontario declared a second State of Emergency in response to fast-rising rates of COVID-19 among residents, imposing new public health restrictions including a mandatory "stay-at-home" order.   Facilities remain closed to the general public or alternatively, are operating under limited capacity.   The challenges faced in 2020 continue to persist as provincial orders remain in place. 

 

The City has provided emergency funding, and in some cases loan deferrals for a three month period to City corporations that have experienced cash flow shortages in 2020.  These supports will continue as needed in 2021 until operations resume and become sustainable through their normal revenue streams.  Emergency funding to City corporations forms part of the City's COVID-19 response plan. The City will continue to monitor the status of any outstanding loans and guarantees and bring forward any necessary actions for Council consideration that may arise from any future loan servicing deficiencies.

 

The impacts of COVID-19 will continue into the 2021 fiscal year.  As a result, a high degree of uncertainty persists surrounding the full economic impact of the situation. The unpredictable nature of the spread of the disease makes it difficult to determine the length of time that corporations' operations will be impacted. Consequently, the full effect that the abrupt decline in economic activity will have on corporations' operations, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses is not yet known.

 

In responding to Council's direction to report on COVID-19 impacts on their Operating and Capital Budgets and their operations, City corporations have faced challenges in assessing impacts prior to the completion of their year-end statements, and consideration by their respective Boards. As such, some of the information contained in this report is limited.

 

This report recommends that City corporations report back to Council with additional information on the impact of COVID-19 on their 2020 budgets and operations at their respective 2020 Annual General Meetings, which typically take place in the second quarter of 2021.
