About Kitchener
The city of Kitchener is situated on the traditional territory of the Neutral,
Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee Peoples. We recognize our responsibility
to serve as stewards for the land and honour the original caretakers who came
before us. Our community is enriched by the enduring knowledge and deep-
rooted traditions of the diverse First Nations, Metis and Inuit in Kitchener today.
Kitchener is an innovative, caring and vibrant city. It's a place for everyone. It's a
place where people come from across Canada and the world to put down roots.
They're joining vibrant neighbourhood communities and enriching them with
new businesses, cultures to celebrate and innovative ideas to share. It's a place
where people have a passion for citybuilding - they're inspired by what Kitchener
is becoming and they want to be a part of its vibrant future. By embracing new
people and perspectives, Kitchener has always been on the cutting edge.
CITY OF KITCHENER i 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
When Kitchener tries something new, the world follows. We're the anchor of
Canada's Innovation Corridor, and our startup density is second only to Silicon
Valley. We're the fastest growing startup ecosystem in Canada, creating 30,000
tech jobs in the past 20 years.
With a population of approximately 300,000 people, Kitchener is the urban

City Governance
The City of Kitchener is governed by an elected Mayor and 10
elected City Councillors. Each City Councillor represents one of
ten geographic wards. City Council is responsible for the overall
governance of the Corporation of the City of Kitchener through
approving policies, master plans and strategies.
On July 1, 2023 the Ontario government provided strong mayor
powers to 26 municipalities, including Kitchener. As part of
this legislation, Kitchener's mayor is responsible for proposing
the municipal budget. At the Mayor's direction, City staff have
prepared a draft budget for consideration by Council which
has been informed by Council and community priorities and in
alignmentwith the city's approved financial guidelines and policies.
The City of Kitchener is structured administratively around
five departments, led by the Chief Administrative Officer
(CAO). The departments that deliver City services include:
Community Services Department (CSD), Corporate Services
Department (COR), Development Services Department (DSD),
Financial Services Department (FIN) and Infrastructure Services
Department (INS).

2025 CITY OF KITCHENER
General Overview
Introduction:
Each year staff prepare an annualope rating budget and 10 -year capital forecast for Council's consideration. The
annual budget helps identify the spending plans and priorities for the municipality for the upcoming year and is
informed by the City's strategic plan, various master plans, and feedback from the community.
The 2025 budget continues to build on previous years, addressing priorities that are important for the residents
of Kitchener. The themes for this year's budget are summarized under three priority areas: Delivering City
Services, Investing in Infrastructure, and Advancing Strategic Priorities.
Delivering City Services:
The 2025 Operating Budget has been prepared using the previous year's budget as a starting point, with the goal of
maintaining the programs and services that Kitchener residents and businesses rely on. These base services, often
referred to as core services, are delivered efficiently through a five -department structure and include activities
such as fire protection, park maintenance, snow clearing, recreational programming and many others.
The City follows a robust internal budget review process, which includes setting budget targets that departments
are require to achieve. This ensures that what's proposed by staff each year in the operating budget for Council
consideration is onlywhat's viewed as necessary to support the delivery of City services for the upcoming year.
Following this approach has resulted in a proposed budget that maintains existing service levels, while at the same
time, responds to increased pressures related to providing program and services for a growing community.
After an extended period of high inflation and high interest rates, the economy
is showing signs of slowing down. This has prompted the Bank of Canada to start
cutting interest rates in 2024 and this trend is expected to continue into 2025.
The leveling of inflation and reduction in interest rates is an encouraging sign
for many who have been struggling to keep pace with rising costs of goods and
services. Municipalities have also experienced higher increases in costs over
the past few years, but even with these pressures, staff have always tried to find
the right balance between the cost to deliver valued programs and services for
the residents, while carefully considering the financial impact of any proposed
property tax increase that's required to support the delivery of those services.
For the past fewyears, the City has used a two-year inflation average as a
benchmark to assess whether the proposed property tax increase is reasonable.
The 2025 budget contemplates an increase of 3.9%, which is in line the two-
year inflation average (3.2%) for Ontario. The slightly higher proposed increase
compared to the benchmark is due to growth -related pressures that in 2025
exceeds assessment growth, which is slightly lower compared to previous years.
One of the main growth pressures in 2025 is the opening of the new southwest
library branch that will service the growing population in that part of the City.
Operating costs for the new branch alone represent approximately a 0.75% tax
rate impact for 2025.
By taking a responsible approach when preparing the annual operating budget,
Kitchener's been able to consistently deliver property tax increases that have been
below the rate of inflation over the past 5 years (cumulative tax rate increases vs
CPI shown in the graph illustrated here).
CITY OF KITCHENER 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
Kitchener's track record in delivering low property tax rate increases for residents
isn't something that all municipalities in Ontario have been able to achieve. The
City's commitment to considering affordability as part of budget and rate setting
process, should give Kitchener residents confidence that they are getting good
value for the services the City provides.
Investing in Infrastructure:
The City owns and is responsible for maintaining approximately $1013 worth of
assets. These include hard infrastructure such as roads and bridges; underground
infrastructure related to water, wastewater, and stormwater; and community-based
infrastructure such as facilities, parks & open spaces, and forestry.
Having sufficient funding for asset replacement is a challenge that all municipalities
across Canada are facing. Most of Kitchener's infrastructure was built after the
1950s as the City experienced extensive population growth. This growth put more
demands on the need for infrastructure and associated City services without the
funding tools available at the municipal level to adequately address future asset
replacement needs. As assets reach their end of life, significant capital investment is
needed to replace existing infrastructure.
The City's capital budget identifies the infrastructure that is planned to be replaced
over the next 10 years. Although the City's planned investment over 10 years is
significant, it's still not enough to address all of the City's infrastructure replacement
needs. Despite these challenges, the City has been proactive in trying to address its
infrastructurefunding needs, including launching the Water Infrastructure Program
(WI P) in 2017 to fund replacement of underground infrastructure (Water, Sanitary
and Storm.) By moving to a more predictable rate model through the WIP program,
the City has been able to fund approximately $400M in capital infrastructure
replacements since the program was established. The City is currently in the second
year of the most recently approved 2024-2027 WI P program, which will continue to
see the City make progress in addressing critical core infrastructure needs.
In addition to the WI P program, a detailed review of facilities was completed in 2019
that resulted in allocating a greater amount of funding towards facilities. Annual
KrTc��NF_R
fundingforfacility infrastructure has been increased by approximately $5M per
year since 2019 and facilities continue to be a significant funding priority within
the Capital Budget. In 2025, an additional $6M from reserves has been allocated
to support facility repairs and rehabilitation. This includes $1.4M being allocated
from the City's energy retrofit reserve, which was established to ensure the City
is replacing components in facilities with smart energy efficient solutions. This
approach will help to reduce the City's overall facility operating costs over time,
while also supporting required action to move towards a more sustainable, low -
carbon future.
Besides the City's own efforts and strategies to try and address capital funding
needs, staff have also pursued federal and provincial grant opportunities,
successfully securing over $200M in federal and provincial funding over the past
five years. It's important for the City to continue to be proactive in this space,
ensuring that funding opportunities are fully explored, including continuingwith
advocacy efforts for additional infrastructure funding since this represents the
most significant funding challenges that municipalities face moving forward.
In addition to the rehabilitation of existing infrastructure, the City also needs
to provide new infrastructure to support a growing community. This new
infrastructure is funded through development charges and not through property
taxes, maintaining the concept that growth should pay for growth. As the City
continues to expand, particularly in the southwest area of the City, new amenities
are needed to support recreational needs. This include $16M for the construction
of a new library branch in southwest Kitchener, $6M for the Rosenburg Community
Centre, and a $144Mfor the Kitchener Indoor Recreation Facility that will be
located at Schlegel Park and will include an indoor pool, FIFA sized soccer facility,
and provide other important gathering space for residents and the community.
K I T C H E N E R. C A/ B U D G E T
Advancing Strategic Priorities:
The City is in the second year of implementation of its 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. The 2025 Budget continues to build on investments made through last year's budget
process, with funding allocated within the budget to support actions identified under the five goal areas within the Strategic Plan including:
Building a Connected City Together
Cultivating a Green City Together
0 Creating an Economically -Thriving City Together
Fostering a Caring City Together
Stewarding a Better City Together
Extensive engagement took place to develop the Strategic Plan that included a
new 20 -year vision for Kitchener: Building a city for everyone where, together,
we take care of the world around us - and each other. Engagement included
completing a statistically valid survey and the involvement of a demographically
CITY OF KITCHENER i 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
representative resident panel, that helped validate and confirm priorities and
actions that are included in the City's Strategic Plan.
The 2025 Budget highlights approximately $75M in funding that will help to
advance strategic priorities. This includes $56M in Federal and Provincial funding
that the City has received to advance housing initiatives. Investments included
in this year's budget will build on progress made in the previous year and are
needed to implement key priorities and commitments included in the 2023-2026
Strategic Plan. In addition to these investments, staff have left an additional
$11VI in one-time capital funding available and unallocated to give Council some
flexibility, should there be additional priorities they wish to advance as part of the
2025 Budget.
r
In Summary: The 2025 Budget
addresses a number of priorities,
from delivering city services
that residents and businesses
rely on every day, to investing in
infrastructure to address the City's
asset replacement and growth -
related needs, to providing funding
to implement the City's 2023-
2026 Strategic Plan that will help
shape Kitchener's future. All of
these priority areas are important
and have been accommodated by
carefully preparing a budget to meet
the service expectations of citizens
while at the same time balancing the
need for reasonable rate increases.

Economic Considerations
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) represents the change in prices experienced
by Canadian consumer. Ontario's monthly inflation rate dropped below 2% in
September 2024 for the first time since February 2021. The 1.9% in September
brought down the 2025 year-to-date CPI figure to 2.5%, which is in line with
forecasts for the year.
After CPI hit a 40 -year high of 7.9% in June 2022, the Bank of Canada raised
interest rates 10 times in 2022 and 2023 to curb the rate of inflation. With
weakening inflation rates the central bank has delivered several rate cuts since
June 2024, taking its policy rate to 3.75% with additional reductions expected
over the next few month.
Capital costs are still increasing more than CPI inflation, but price increases for
construction projects have slowed considerably from recent times that saw 30%
jumps in costs from year to year.

While keeping tax rate increases around the rate of inflation is an important
factor to take into account when setting the budget, it is not the only
through various public engagement opportunities such as the strategic planning consideration. The City of Kitchener has considered a number of factors, such as:
process and through the development of various master plans.
In the first quarter of 2024, budget direction was developed by the Financial
Planning team. Budget targets were established using the Council -endorsed
inflation policy. The City's policy is to forecast costs using a two-year inflationary
average, which means that we are gradually accommodating the cost increases
associated with rising inflation rates.

Comparison To Other Municipalities:
The City of Kitchener has one of the lowest total municipal burdens (taxes +
water charges + sewer charges) of large cities in Ontario. The graph below shows
the most recent results of an analysis conducted annually by BMA Management
Consulting Inc. Kitchener ($5,165) holds the seventh lowest ranking in the
province and is well below the average ($5,838).
Even comparing locally Kitchener has the lowest overall municipal burden of all
the cities in the Region. Again, this points to Kitchener being a comparatively
affordable city in which to live.

CITY OF KITCHENER 1 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
Inflationary Factors Unique to Municipalities:
As part of the Long -Term Financial Plan (LTFP), Council endorsed a multi-year
inflation figure when setting the budget. This inflation figure blends the prior
year's Consumer Price Index (CPI) figure and the current year-to-date CPI figure.
Using a multi-year figure helps smooth out dramatic changes in inflation.
For the 2025 budget, the two-year average of CPI inflation is 3.2%. The tax
rate increase of 3.9% is above the average, but accommodates strategic priority
investments and the growth pressures on City services as the local population
continues to increase.

consideration, and this goal involves additional service delivery costs.
The built environment in the City is in a stage of transition, with a greater

The 2025 net tax levy increase is 3.9% and would amount to an additional $49
per year, or $4 per month for the average Kitchener home (assessed at
$326,000). The 2025 budget contemplates an increase of 3.9%, which is in line
the two-year inflation average (3.2%) for Ontario. The slightly higher proposed
increase compared to the benchmark, is due to growth -related pressures that in
2025 exceeds assessment growth, which is lower compared to previous years.

CITY OF KITCHENER i 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
One of the main growth pressures in 2025 is the opening of the new southwest
library branch that will service the growing population in southwest Kitchener.
The City's $276 million tax supported operating budget helps to deliver around
50 core services for Kitchener residents. The operating budget expenditures are
made up of the following major components:
• Salaries & Wages ...................59%
• Debt Charges .............................2
• Materials...................................12
• Contracted Services................3%
• Boards & Grants ........................
8%
Capital Reserves .......................
7%
Interdivisional Charges ..........
9%
The 2025 budget is all about addressing your priorities. The three priorities are:
delivering city services, investing in infrastructure and advancing strategic priorities
Delivering City Services
Staff have prepared a budget that maintains current service levels while balancing
the need for reasonable rate increases. The base budget which supports the City's
core services make up the majority of the tax rate increase.

City Services ........................ +3.1%
• Advancing Strategic
Priorities/Growth .............. +2.5%
• Assessment

Adescription of some of the significant base budget items pertaining
to the tax rate increase.
Salaries And Wages:
Total compensation makes up the largest portion of the operating budget
representing 59% of the City's expenses, which is consistent with most
municipalities. To deliver municipal services to approximately 300,000 residents
requires a dedicated workforce committed to serving the community. The City's
full-time and part-time staff help keep the City running and are represented by the
Debt, Capital & Reserves:
Interest on long term debt and capital reserve contributions increased by $252k
and $317k respectively in 2025. This increase will be used to help fund projects in
the City's Capital Budget.
following bargaining groups: The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CU PE 791, Materials, Contracted Services & Other:
CUPE 68 and CUPE 68M), the Kitchener Professional Fire Fighters Association of
Inflationary pressures are beingfelt across all divisions for these budget lines with
Canada (KPFFA), International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and
significant impacts in computer software costs of $266k and contracted services of
the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). In addition to these
$448k.
bargaining groups the Cityemploys non -unionized staff.
The total wage increase in 2025 reflect the collective bargaining agreements with
most unions. The collective agreements between the City of Kitchener and CUPE
791 and IBEW will expire in 2025, therefore the increases reflect anticipated
budgetary needs.
The City's positive relations with the various bargaining groups have resulted in fair
wages for staff while maintaining reasonable costs for rate payers.
CITY OF KITCHENER 1 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
Boards and Grants:
Boards and Grants include the Centre in the Square (CITS) and the Kitchener Public
Library (KPL). As per the City's guideline when establishing 2025 budget targets,
the operating grants for both CITS and KPL increased by 2.6% resulting in an
increase of $54k and $330k respectively. Additionally, the KPL received $1.181M
in growth funding towards the operating costs of the new South -end Branch.
Investing in Infrastructure
The City owns and is responsible for maintaining approximately $9.813 worth of
assets; including hard infrastructure such as roads and bridges; underground
infrastructure related to water, wastewater, and storm water; and community-
based infrastructure such as facilities, parks and open spaces, and urban forest.
Sufficient funding for asset replacement is a challenge for municipalities all
across Canada are faced with. As assets reach their end of life, significant capital
investment is required to replace existing infrastructure.
The City has developed asset management plans (AMPS) which will help identify
the the areas of greatest need and the expected service levels in those areas
tocomplywith O.Reg 588/17 Asset Management Planningfor Municipal
Infrastructure.
Asset Valuation:
KrTa T rR
The 2025 Budget continues to make investments in infrastructure a priority.
This builds on previous progress made towards revitalizing assets through
comprehensive programs like the Water Infrastructure Program (WI P) and the
Facilities Infrastructure Program (FIP).
In addition to existing infrastructure, the City must also build new assets for
its growing population. Significant investments in roads, water, and sewer are
being made to ensure new housing stock can be built in Kitchener. As well, new
community amenities like the Kitchener Indoor Recreation Complex (KIRC),
southwest library branch, and Rosenberg Community Centre are being added in
developing areas of the city.

Advancing Strategic Priorities
The City is in the second year of implementation of its 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. The 2025 Budget continues to build on investments made through last year's budget
process, advancing actions identified under the five goal areas within the Strategic Plan. The 2025 budget includes $75M of investments as outlined below. In addition
to these investments, an additional $1M in one-time capital funding is available and unallocated to give Council some flexibility, should there be additional priorities

Revenues
The city collects revenues through property taxes, user fees and other sources
to pay for the approximately 50 core services and programs it offers to the
residents of Kitchener.
It's very important to know that provincial government legislation in Ontario
states that "municipalities must pass balanced budgets where the money coming
in equals the money going out."

CITY OF KITCHENER 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
Property Taxes:
The main source of revenue for Kitchener is through the billing and collection
of property taxes which account for 61% of the city's revenue at approximately
$170M. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation is responsible for
assessing and classifying properties. The City is responsible for setting tax
rates and collecting property taxes based on the assessed value and class of the
property. Property classes are assigned based on their intended use and different
tax rate is applied based on class. The majority of the City's assessment base is
made up of residential properties, which is in line with the overall assessment mix
of other communities.
User Fees:
User fee charges are one of the principal funding mechanisms for a range of
municipal services. Examples include swimming lessons, site plan approvals, and
business licenses. These fees are an efficient revenue source since they allow the
City to pay for a service by directly charging those who use it. The City's user fee
charges make up 11% of the City's revenues and amount to $30M. The User Fees
Schedule is included as an appendix.
Assessment Growth:
Assessment growth is new property tax revenue caused by changes to the
makeup of the City. This can be from new properties being built, or from existing
properties being redeveloped or expanded.
The additional tax revenue generated through assessment growth helps offset
the costs of providing tax supported services to the community. For 2025
estimated assessment growth is 1.75%, which is not enough to cover all the
growth related costs in the budget.

Recent Challenges:
Higher interest rates have led to higher mortgage rates. This has caused an
overall slow down in the construction and permit sector.
As reported last year, Building staff continue to deal with incomplete and
uncoordinated construction drawings on permit submissions. This leads to
increased complaints and longer processing times. Staff have met with customers
to get a better understanding of the root causes and will continue to monitor.
The pilot project of new software for customers to schedule their own inspections
still needs some work and will be be retested in 2025.
Recent Successes:
To promote communication and information sharing with our external customers,
Building staff have shared 15+ bulletins and notices. One of the industry Bulletins
highlights the new 2024 Building Code, which takes effect January 1, 2025.
Building staff are in the process of learning the 2400+ code changes. Building
staff will provide in-person and virtual presentations of the key code changes.
This will be presented in November 2024 at no cost to the industry. Given the
large number of code changes, two separate presentations are planned: low rise

The budgets for the Water, Sanitary and Stormwater were the combined subject
of a comprehensive review called the Water Infrastructure Program (WI P).
A WI P review was completed in advance of the 2024 budget and took several
months to complete with collaboration between several divisions within the City,
including Asset Management, Engineering, Kitchener Utilities - Gas and Water

The 2025 combined WI rate increase is 6.3%. This includes increases to Water
(4.9%) and Sanitary (6.9%) which are driven by infrastructure investments as well
as Regional rate increases to the City for water supply and wastewater treatment.
The Region's rate to provide these services have increased above what was
originally forecasted through the WI P review and will place significant pressure
on the water and sanitary sewer rates going forward. The 2025 WI P rates do
not reflect these increases but adjustments will need to be made in future years.
The proposed increase for Stormwater (7.4%) is required to fund the City's share
of projects being significantly funded ( approximately $50M ) by other levels of
government through the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund (DMAF).
It is expected that WI P utility increases will need to remain higher than
typical CPI inflation to account for construction cost escalation and other cost
pressures. The increases for each utility are summarized in the table below.

Sanitary Utility Overview
Operating Model And Philosophy:
The Sanitary Sewer Utility collects and removes wastewater generated within
Kitchener and neighbouring municipalities in an efficient, cost effective and
environmentally responsible manner. The wastewater is then transferred to the
Region of Waterloo for treatment and disposal in compliance with legislative and
regulatory requirements.
CITY OF KITCHENER 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY

Recent Challenges:
In many parts of the City, sanitary assets are nearing the end of their lifecycle
and require increased funding and resources to undertake preventative and
corrective maintenance. Annual sanitary utility rate increases provide critical
funding to address infrastructure needs, helping reduce the risk of system
failures and service interruptions.
Inflation and other economic factors (e.g., supply chain, fuel price increases)
have increased operating and capital costs. These cost increases will impact
current and future budgets as well as capital repair and replacement schedules
over the next several years.
KrTa T rR
Recent Successes:
The City of Kitchener has recently transitioned to a Consolidated Linear
Infrastructure Environmental Com plianceApprovaI (CLI -ECA) process for its
Sanitary network, which provides greater oversight for the City to preauthorize
and manage impacts of new infrastructure, retrofits, maintenance, operations and
monitoring of the system. In 2024, the Sanitary Utility completed Kitchener's fi rst
ever Sanitary Master Plan, which highlights key capital and operating priorities to
ensure the sanitary system can provide consistent and reliable services. Over the
next several years, the utility will start undertaking many of the recommendations
from the master plan, including the implementation of inflow and infiltration
reduction programs, enhanced CCTV pipe inspections, flow monitoring, and
capital initiatives to address high risk and poor condition infrastructure.
In 2024/25 the Sanitary Utilitywill be transitioningfrom a Wastewater
Class IV licensed facility to a Wastewater Class III licensed facility. A utility's
wastewater classification is defined based on several factors including operational
requirements, system complexity, and risk. Over the last couple of decades, the
City has been replacing aging sanitary sewer pipes, which have helped mitigate
risks in the sanitary network and facilitated this transition to a Class III. This
transitioning from a Class IV to a Class III facility will have no impact on operations,
as all current utility operators will already have the appropriate licensing for the
new system classification. The Class III designation also aligns better with the
utility classification of surrounding area municipalities, offering greater access to
qualified operators if/when needed.

Stormwater Utility Overview
Operating Model And Philosophy:
The Stormwater utility treats and controls stormwater runoff generated
by impervious surfaces across the city in an efficient, cost effective and
environmentally responsible manner to comply with legislative and regulatory
requirements.
CITY OF KITCHENER 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
Services Provided:
The utility provides funding to operate, maintain, rehabilitate, replace and build
stormwater infrastructure across the city. There are over 70,000 properties
in the city that are billed for the stormwater management service based on the
amount of their impervious area and the runoff they generate.
The stormwater system is comprised of 26 managed subwatersheds;
approximately 800 kilometers of storm sewer mains; over 27,000 manholes
and catch basins; 125 oil, grit separators; and 116 constructed stormwater
management facilities (SWMFs).
The Utility has developed an Integrated Stormwater Management Master Plan
(ISWM-MP, 2016) that identifies stormwater priorities across the City and helps

Recent Successes:
The City continues to implement the $125M federal Disaster Mitigation and
Adaptation Fund (DMAF) program, which provides up to a 40% cost -share for the
City's stormwater projects prioritized in the ISWM-MP.
As part of the DMAF program, the City has been actively engaging with
communities to implement a variety of stormwater management infrastructure
(e.g., stormwater ponds) in local parks. These facilities not only enhance the City's
ability to manage stormwater quantity (i.e., flooding) and quality (i.e., pollution)
concerns, but provide an opportunity to enhance green space and park amenities,
creating welcoming community gathering spaces. The City of Kitchener has
recently transitioned to a Consolidated Linear Infrastructure Environmental
Compliance Approval (CLI -ECA) process for its Stormwater network, which
provides greater oversight for the City to preauthorize and manage impacts of
new infrastructure, retrofits, maintenance, operations and monitoring of the
system.

Recent Challenges:
Gas revenues are weather -dependent. Warmer winters cause a deficit and colder
winters result in a surplus. The 2023/2024 winter was mild resulting in a deficit
due to reduced revenues. This puts additional pressure on rates heading into the
2025 budget.

Capital Budget Overview
The City's capital budget funds investments in
infrastructure (assets) that offer a long-term benefit
to the community. Examples include parks, roads, and
sanitary sewers. The projects included in the Capital
Budget often take a number of years to complete,
either creating new assets or renewing existing
assets. The term of the budget is 10 years, which
helps establish capital priorities for both the near
future and the medium-term.
The 10 year approved budget and forecast for the
year 2025-2034 includes over 470 projects at $1.913.

2025 BUDGET
Message from the Mayor
On July 1, 2023 the Ontario government provided strong mayor powers to
select municipalities, including Kitchener. While this legislation requires that the
Mayor is responsible for proposing the municipal budget, I have endeavoured
to do so in a manner consistent with the collaborative approach that exists
between Kitchener Council and staff in our work. Based on direction that was
provided earlier this year, City staff prepared a draft budget informed by Council
and community priorities, and in alignment with the City's approved financial
guidelines and policies. The Draft 2025 Budget was presented to Council for
consideration and discussion at Budget Committee meetings held on November
18th and 25th. I want to thank Councillors Scott Davey and Bil loannidis, Chair
and Vice -Chair respectively, for their leadership and support in these meetings
and all of Council for their engagement throughout this process.
Kitchener has demonstrated its commitment to considering affordability when
setting its budget, consistently delivering tax rate increases that are aligned with
the rate of inflation in Ontario. Kitchener's track record speaks for itself when
comes to balancing affordability, service demands, and responding to growth
related pressures. I'm proud of Council and staff's approach to rate setting,
and believe Kitchener is a model of efficient, effective, and sustainable local
government in Ontario.
During the past 10 years, Kitchener's tax rate increases have averaged
2.47%, below Ontario inflation which has averaged 2.64% during that
same timeframe.
KrTaIENER
As part of the Budget, there was $1M in one-time capital funding unallocated
and available to further advance strategic priorities that are important to the
community. I support the Draft 2025 Budget that was prepared by staff and
presented to Council and propose, based on feedback received from Council and
the public, that the City move forward with the following strategic investment
related to the additional $1M in onetime capital funding:
$1M for a community court investment program that will see 10
basketball or tennis/pickle-ball courts installed or rehabilitated in
various wards across the City. This investment will see the installation of
new courts in under -serviced areas of the City or enhance the condition
of existing courts, recognizing that these types of recreational amenities
serve as an important gathering space for residents of all ages in
neighbourhoods across Kitchener.
The City's 20 -year vision included in the City's 2023-2026 Strategic Plan is
"Building a cityfor everyone where, together, we take care of the world around us
- and each other". I'm pleased with where we have landed with the 2025 Budget,
for the progressive action that we continue to take as a City to move us closer to
achieving that vision, while still balancing affordability and operational service
delivery needs.

CITY OF KITCHENER 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
CITY OF KITCHENER 2 0 2 5 BUDGET SUMMARY
Definitions, Abbreviations & Acronyms
Definitions
• Assessment growth refers to property taxes from new and/or expanded homes and/or businesses to pay for the services they receive.
• Base Budget funds programs and services already offered to the public and includes the costs (e.g. staffing, materials, supplies) and
revenues (e.g. user fees, recoveries) to deliver the program/service.
• Boards are separate organizations established by the City to provide programs and services as allowed under the Municipal Act. For
Kitchener, the Boards include Centre in the Square (CITS) and Kitchener Public Library (KPL).
• Brownfield properties are formerly developed sites that are no longer being used for those purposes. In the City context, they are often
former industrial or commercial sites with known or suspected pollution.
• Canada Community -Building fund (formerly Federal Gas Tax) is annual funding provided to the City by the federal government for capital
improvements.
• Capital Budget funds investments in municipal infrastructure (or assets) that provide a long-term benefit to the community. Examples of
capital costs include building or replacing roads, water mains, vehicles, community centres and parks.
• Capital out of Current is a funding transfer from the operating budget to the capital pool.
• Capital Pool is used to fund tax supported capital projects. The capital pool is funded by a) capital out of current, b) debt, c) gas utility
investment reserve, and d) hydro utility investment reserve.
• Corporate Allocations are general expenses like debt charges and contributions to the capital budget.
• Debt is funding the City has borrowed to complete capital projects.
• Debt to Reserve Ratio is the amount of the City's debt divided by the amount the City has in reserves. The target debt to reserve ratio is 1:1;
meaning the City would have one dollar saved in reserves for every dollar of debt it has issued.
• Development Charges are fees imposed on development to fund growth related capital costs.
• Enterprises are self -funding business lines operated by the City and are fully funded by their own user rates, not property taxes. The City's
enterprises are Golf, Building, Parking, Natural Gas, Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Stormwater.
• Existing Capital Balances are capital funding that have already been approved by Council, but have not been spent. Some capital projects
take multiple years to complete (e.g. road reconstruction, building a new community centre), so the funding may accumulate for future
spending.
• Impacts Due to Growth are additional operating costs required to support the expansion of service areas as the city continues to grow.
CITY OF KITCHENER 1 2025 BUDGET SUMMARY APPENDIX A1
Definitions, Abbreviations & Acronyms
• Interdivision/Internal Charges are costs charged by one City division to another City division for work completed on their behalf. For
instance, the Building enterprise pays other City divisions for financial, technological, and legal support.
• Issue Papers are brief documents (typically 1-2 pages in length) that provide information about budget issues, usually relating to new items
included in the proposed budget.
• Net Tax Levy is the amount of funding required from property taxes. It equals all of the tax supported gross expenditures minus all other
revenues.
• Operating Budget funds the day-to-day costs of the municipality to provide its programs and services. Examples of operating costs include
salaries and wages for city employees; utility costs, such as water and electricity; and operating supplies, such as road salt.
• Reserve/Reserve Funds are used to set aside funding now to be used for a specific purpose in the future. The city maintains reserves for
both operating purposes (e.g. rate stabilization reserve funds), capital purposes (e.g. fleet and equipment reserve fund) and as required by
legislation (e.g. federal gas tax reserve fund).
• Strategic Plan articulates a vision "together we will build an innovative, caring, and vibrant Kitchener" and mission "proudly providing valued
services for our community", for the City. Following each municipal election, this document is updated with Council's new strategic goals
and key activities for the upcoming term.
• Strategic Initiatives are program/service enhancements that help achieve the goals of the City's Strategic Plan.
• Tax Supported programs/services are funded in part or completely by property taxes. Examples include road & sidewalk maintenance, fire
protection, and community centre programming.
• User Fees are charges for programs and services provided by the City, which reduces dependence on property taxes as a funding source.
Typically they are charged for programs/services where customers have a choice on whether or not to use them. Examples of user fees
include swimming lessons and marriage licenses.

Preparer Ryan Hagey, Director of Financial Planning & Asset Management
Background I
The City's strategic plan is the community's shared vision for the future of Kitchener. After significant public consultation, in August 2023, Council approved the
2023-2026 strategic goals, goal statements, and actions.
Rationale/ Analysis so - - 000 numb gam M
Since its adoption in the summer of 2023, significant funding has been allocated to priority areas identified in Kitchener's 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. In addition to
these investments, one-time funding of $1 M has been earmarked and is available in the 2025 capital budget for direction to continue advancing important priorities
to Council and the community. Council will have an opportunity to discuss potential options prior to the Mayor proposing the budget in early December. Options
which are not advanced as part of the 2025 budget will have an opportunity to be discussed in a future budget year.
Staff have identified three areas for potential investment based on recent work completed to develop Asset Management Plans, the Places & Spaces Strategy, and
the Corporate Climate Action Plan. Each of the areas is discussed below.
1) City Facilities
In 2024 the City prepared asset management plans (AMPS) for a number of assets including its facilities. The AMPS showed the total replacement value of all City
facilities was over $1.9 billion. The facilities include community -oriented buildings like community centres, pools, and arenas as well as more internally focused
buildings like fire halls, City Hall, and the Kitchener Operations Facility. All of the buildings require regular investments to their seen and unseen components and
systems to keep them in a state of good repair. Examples of projects that are important but unfunded include skylight repairs at the Kitchener Market which would
reduce water infiltration issues impacting some vendors and elevator modernization at the Kitchener Auditorium which would improve accessibility and meet current
building and fire code regulations.
2) Outdoor Recreation
From 2021-2024 the City received feedback on its outdoor recreation facilities through a masterplan update called Places & Spaces. This update includes reviewing
the total amount of park space within Kitchener, as well as the quality of the amenities provided. Data from the 2024 asset management plan (AMP) shows the City
owns and operates parks, trails, and open spaces with a combined replacement value of nearly $100 million. Examples of projects that are important but unfunded
include additional playground replacements that will rejuvenate neighbourhood play spaces and make them more accessible, additional conversion of trails from
paved to unpaved that will improve year-round use and accessibility, and the rehabilitation of outdoor sport courts that will improve the end user experience of these
facilities.
3) Corporate Climate Action Plan (CorCAP)
In May 2024 Council endorsed an updated CorCAP with the goal of being net -zero emissions by 2050. The plan focuses on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions in the City's facilities and fleet & equipment which offer the greatest opportunity for impact. The financial implications of the City achieving net -zero are

roughly estimated at $250 million in additional capital funding over the next 25 years. Examples of projects that are important but unfunded include additional
HVAC replacements at City facilities that will improve energy use, and continued electrification of City's vehicles & equipment.
Financial Implications IIIIIIIII —
$1 M has been added to the Strategic Addition capital account in General Expense to be allocated as part of the 2025 budget process.

The City's strategic plan is the community's shared vision for the future of Kitchener. After significant public consultation, in August 2023, Council approved the
2023-2026 strategic goals, goal statements, and actions.
- — - -
Rationale/ Analysis
Approximately $75M of funding has already been allocated to advance strategic priorities as part of the 2025 budget. A brief description of these investments is
provided below under the five strategic plan goal areas.
BUILDING A CONNECTED CITY TOGETHER
Housing Accelerator Fund - HAF ($42M)
The Federal government has pledged significant funding through HAF in support of the continued implementation of Kitchener's Housing For All strategy. HAF will
help to fast-track the construction of 1,216 new homes by early 2027 to help address housing affordability and the increasing demand for housing in our community.
In 2025 HAF will be used to continue implementing approved initiatives like the development of the Growing Together East strategy as well as a $10,000 grant per
unit for qualifying affordable housing units.
Building Faster Fund - BFF ($14M)
The Provincial government has provided a first instalment of BFF to Kitchener for exceeding its 2023 housing targets. The fund rewards municipalities that make
significant progress against their targets by providing funding for housing -enabling and community -enabling infrastructure. Kitchener is using its BFF to conduct
environmental assessment work on a property prior to redevelopment, completing stormwater work that will mitigate flooding and improve water quality, and
acquiring land for future housing development.
Official Plan Update ($750k)
Kitchener's Official Plan (OP) is 10 years old and needs updating. The OP is concerned with land use and the physical development of the city, but it also aims to
balance the social, economic, and environmental interests of the community. Funding in 2025 will be used to create an OP which will guide growth and shape the
way that neighbourhoods evolve and change as the city grows to a population of up to 450,000 by 2051.
CULTIVATING A GREEN CITY TOGETHER
Places and Spaces Parks Masterplan Implementation ($8.6M)
Places and Spaces is an update to the existing Parks Strategic Plan adopted by City Council in 2010. This updated parks masterplan is the overarching guide for the
quantity of park space in the city, as well as the quality of those places. The 2025 budget includes significant investments in parks such as advancing park network
improvements; accessible sportsfield improvements and amenities; repairs to McLennan Park; and enhancements to Upper Canada Park.
CITY OF KITCHENER 1 2025 BUDGET SUMMARY APPENDIX G3
Issue Paper Summary
HVAC Upgrades at City Facilities ($2.3M)
City facilities contribute the largest portion of corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Updating the heating and cooling units at City facilities in 2025 is one of
the ways the City is optimizing energy performance and reducing its GHG emissions in support of the goals in the Corporate Climate Action Plan 2.0 (CorCAP 2.0).
Growing the City's Tree Canopy ($1.3M)
In January, 2022, Council approved an ambitious urban canopy target for the City of 30% canopy cover in each ward by 2050, and a city-wide average
canopy of 33% by 2070 through Kitchener's Sustainable Urban Forest Strategy (SUFS). Funding in 2025 will support the Forestry team in advancing work under the
four key action areas in the SUFS: Plan, Engage, Maintain and Plant; as well as exploring grant and partnership opportunities to expand the urban forest.
Green Fleet Improvements ($800k)
Kitchener has made progress towards electrifying its vehicles and equipment. As of 2023, 50% of the passenger car fleet has been electrified resulting in a notable
75% reduction in maintenance and fuel costs compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. For 2025, Kitchener will continue to strategically upgrade
vehicles and equipment such as cars, pickup trucks, ice resurfacers and forklifts from internal combustion engines to Battery Electric, Hybrid Electric and/or Plug -In
Hybrid Electric.
CREATING AN ECONOMICALLY THRIVING CITY TOGETHER
Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts Investments ($780k)
The Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts (CCPA) is a 300 seat venue located in downtown Kitchener. The City acquired the CCPA in 2021 with a mandate
to significantly increase community usage. In October 2023 the City assumed full operations of the CCPA following the bankruptcy of the KW Symphony and in
October 2024 Council approved new direction in operating the CCPA. Funding has been included in the 2025 budget to properly staff the venue based on the new
operating model and make investments in updated equipment.
Support for Community Events ($200k)
The City of Kitchener currently facilitates an extensive portfolio of festivals including long -beloved events like Oktoberfest and Christkindl, as well as more recent
additions like Endless Summer and Caribana. The City also supports a number of corporate and community events like new park and facility openings, funding
announcements, and neighbourhood -led special events. New funding has been included to ensure adequate resources are available to properly support the diverse
event offerings at the City.
FOSTERING A CARING CITY TOGETHER
Expanded Community Centre Hours ($150k)
In 2023, Council approved report CSD -2023-123 to modernize the City's community centre operating model. A key recommendation of that report directed staff to
explore expanding hours of operation at select Community Centres through a phased, multi-year approach. During the 2024 budget process, Council approved the
first year of this initiative which included extending weekend hours for six centres: Country Hills, Victoria Hills, Forest Heights, Centreville Chicopee, Stanley Park, and
Huron Community Centre. In the second year of this multiyear initiative, staff are proposing four additional community centre sites for expanded weekend hours
starting in 2025: Kingsdale, Doon Pioneer Park, Bridgeport, and Chandler Mowat Community Centres.
Increased Offerings for Summer Camps ($100k)
The City currently offers approximately 2500 spots for children's day camps over the summer at City of Kitchener facilities. These day camps are very much in
CITY OF KITCHENER 2025 BUDGET SUMMARY APPENDIX G4
Issue Paper Summary

K�NER
demand, spots fill up immediately, and have an average waitlist of 280 kids every week. Through funding added to the 2025 budget, existing camps will be
expanded and new sites will be added which will result in an additional 200 spots per week being available for the summer camp schedule.
Developing an Outdoor Pool Strategy ($150k)
Kitchener currently operates four outdoor pools (Kiwanis, Harry Class, Idlewood, Wilson). These pools provide residents with relief from the heat in a safe and
supervised environment during the summer months. With the increasing impacts of climate change and an increase in days with high temperatures and humidity, the
City's outdoor pools will play an even more vital role in reducing heat -related illnesses and safety risks to the residents of the City of Kitchener. Funding will be used
to assess the condition of current pools and establish a plan ensuring continued operations servicing community needs as well as identify communities that could
benefit from an outdoor pool.
STEWARDING A BETTER CITY TOGETHER
Modernizing Human Resource Systems ($2.75M)
Kitchener's main human resources and payroll system is reaching end of life with limited investment being made by the current vendor to modernize processes and
functionality needed to support an efficient workforce. In addition, the City has relied on separate and disjointed sub -systems to help support its human resource
needs (e.g. recruiting, time & attendance). Funding in the 2025 budget will be used to consolidate into a full -suite human capital management system fully
integrated within the City's SAP enterprise application environment, which will support management in talent acquisition & development, provide better tracking &

Future -Proofing City Digital Services ($500k)
Kitchener is building a smart city that is connected, on -demand, inclusive, and innovative. To advance these objectives, the City continues to invest in technology
infrastructure, processes, and initiatives that support its goals. Funding in 2025 will be used to maintain positive momentum towards achieving the City's technology
goals and ensure online City services are reliable and secure for all customers.
Improving Customer Service ($275k)
The implementation of improved customer service software will enable customers new access to more online self -serve opportunities, including the ability to both
initiate service requests and see the status of their service requests — online. Closing the loop with customers on their service requests will now be possible for staff
from both the office and the field with customers having the ability to be notified when their service request is complete. New and more robust real-time data
reporting and analytics will drive more informed service improvements and efficiencies, and staff from across many divisions (eg. Bylaw, Revenue, Office of Mayor &
Council, Kitchener Utilities etc.) — notjust the city's corporate contact centre — will be able to more easily and quickly track, monitor and respond to customer
requests for service and information from a single interface that integrates many corporate systems.

Krm�>E�" NER
Fees and charges are used by municipalities as an alternative to fully funding various programs and services through property taxes. Fees and charges are often used for
programs and services where customers have a choice whether to use them and, for this reason, the use of fees and charges tend to be favoured over property taxes
alone.
Approval of the user fee schedule as detailed in Appendix E will coincide with the adoption of the 2025 budget. This also includes direction to Legal Services to prepare
the necessary by-laws to amend The City of Kitchener Municipal Code Chapters for fees and charges pertaining to licensing, planning applications, building permits and
Committee of Adjustment applications.
When setting individual rates, departments consider a range of factors including cost recovery, legislation, rates of other municipalities and market conditions. For 2025,
departments were provided with a guideline to increase fees and charges by 4%.
The 2025 user fees will make up approximately 11 % of all tax supported revenues which is consistent with the previous year. Failure to adjust user fees would shift
program costs to the property tax base and necessitate property tax increases above the rate of inflation. In general, fees are increasing by the guideline amount, or
something close to it. Some fee increases differ from the guideline in order to come to a rounded amount (e.g. nearest $0.25, $1, or $5). Fee changes that differ from the
inflationary guideline are highlighted below.
Economic Development Fees (Fees 2 — 94 on the detailed fee schedule)
- Farmers Market Fees (Fees 2 - 29) - These fees increased by 6% to cover the increasing operational and maintenance costs of the facility.
Engineering Fees (Fees 95 — 233 on the detailed fee schedule)
- Engineering fees increased by 4% with some exceptions for rounding.
Planning Fees (Fees 234 — 320 on the detailed fee schedule)

Op 04 - Staff Additions for Tax Supported Services
GENERAL EXPENSE
GENERAL EXPENSE
Preparer Ryan Hagey, Director of Financial Planning & Asset Management
.I
The long-standing practice at the City has been for Council to approve any net additional staff resources (known as full time equivalents or FTEs) to Council for
approval. In preparing the budget, staff have identified a small number of high priority staffing resources requiring approval. All of the positions requested are fully
funded in the budget and have no additional impact on rates, all that is being requested is approval of the FTE. The positions being requested are noted below with
the number of FTEs shown in brackets.
• . TI
Identifying More Grant Funding (1 FTE)
In 2023 Council directed a review of revenue generating opportunities. This review showed opportunities within the City's grant process that cannot be addressed
within existing staff resources. An additional staff resource is required to assist with identifying additional grant opportunities, connecting and liaising with external
funders, leading internal grant strategy discussion collaborating across departments and divisions, directly supporting the grant writing function, coordinating all
aspects of the grant application process, and fulfilling contractual obligations required from funders when grant funding is approved. It is anticipated that the cost of
this position will be fully offset by the additional revenue generated from pursuing additional grant opportunities.
Supporting Payroll Services (1 FTE)
The City administers payroll functions for almost 3,000 employees (including arm's lengths organizations). As the number of staff that support services across the
City has grown no additional resources have been added to the Payroll section in more than a decade. At the same time there has also been more volatility/turnover
in the core staffing complement in the last 10 years with an increase of 55% in payroll tasks required due to hires/rehires, transfers, retirements, and employee exits.
An additional staff resource is required to stabilize workload amongst the Payroll team and ensure all payment processing can be maintained.
Processing Payments in a Timely Manner (0.5 FTE — conversion from temporary to permanent)
The City receives payments in-person, online, and through the mail. Based on the ongoing needs of the City, a temporary part-time payment processing position is
being converted to be permanent. This will establish ongoing backup coverage in this area which will provide continuity and stability. Further it will ensure customer
payments received through the mail and the of billing miscellaneous receivables happens in a timely basis.
Improving Efficiency and Operations (1 FTE)
Kitchener has a culture of continuous improvement, with a strong focus on lean process reviews that enhance program efficiency and effectiveness by adding value
to the customer experience. Within the corporate services department, the type and volume of service review requests has grown significantly, as teams within the
department work to deliver excellent customer service within existing resources. These reviews assess and enhance core services and drive both incremental and
transformational change. An additional staff resource is required to deliver on these large improvement initiatives, such as the Community Engagement Review, while
also ensuring the changes are embedded and sustained in the long term.
CITY OF KITCHENER 1 2025 BUDGET SUMMARY APPENDIX G10
Issue Paper Summary
Supporting Licensing Requirements for Businesses (1 FTE - conversion from temporary to permanent)
The City's licensing team provides valuable front line customer service to businesses, helping them through the license application process, and then advising and
assisting businesses through their annual renewal process. With more than 3,000 licensed businesses in Kitchener, the demand on this small team has grown
significantly, requiring an additional resource to ensure that staff can manage both the licensing application and renewal needs of businesses while also providing
enough coverage to complete on-site inspections and ensure that businesses are operating safely and within applicable legislation.
Supporting Community Events (2 FTES)
The City of Kitchener has historically facilitated an extensive portfolio of festivals including long -beloved events like Oktoberfest and Christkindl. The events portfolio
continues to grow with additions like Endless Summer and Caribana. Additionally, corporate and community events like new park and facility openings, funding
announcements, and ward -specific events continue to grow as the city grows. Additional staff resources are needed to plan for and bring these events to life,
connecting community in a multitude of ways.
Enhanced In -Person Customer Service at City Hall (1 FTE — two part-time staff)
Since opening its door in January, the City Hall Service Centre has already served more than 28,000 customer interactions. By all accounts, the new centre has been a
significant success and is a leader amongst Canadian municipalities. A key component of the centre is the new, highly visible "Information Desk" which is prominently
located in the Rotunda and serves as the first point of contact for a majority of customers who come to City Hall for service. Staff located at the "Information Desk"
greet customers as they arrive, respond to basic service/information questions where possible, assess the customer's service needs, help check them into the service
centre using a mobile tablet, and then direct them to the appropriate place for assistance. This level of support has been a frequent source of positive feedback from
customers.
Improved User Experience & Promotion of Events at The Aud (1 FTE — conversion from temporary to permanent)
The Aud is the City's premier sports and entertainment venue, playing host to a wide variety of concerts, special events and other community gatherings — attracting
tens of thousands of residents and visitors every year. For several years The Aud has benefited from a full-time, temporary position dedicated to marketing Aud
events and concerts and improving the customer experience at the facility. This position has three main functions: (1) identify and lead projects that improve the
customer experience at The Aud, (2) lead the design, development and production of print and digital marketing materials promoting Aud events, and (3) fulfills
sponsorship agreements within the facility. Given the ongoing need for these supports at The Aud, and in order to support staff effort to increase the number of
events being held at the facility, this temporary position should be converted to permanent.
Expanding Downtown Ambassador Program to 7 -Days a Week, Year -Round (4 FTEs)
Downtown Ambassadors engage with all members of the community on a daily basis (5 days a week) from May to November. These ambassadors take a
relationship -building, human -first approach to their work which has made the program very successful. The addition of these FTEs would make the program
permanent and allow it to operate 7 days a week with 4 team members during the peak season of April through November, and 5 days a week with 2 staff for the
remainder of the year. This enhancement to the program will ensure the City provides consistent, non -enforcement safety services and supports in the downtown,
and adapts to shifting needs throughout the year while also maintaining vital relationships with many members of the community — including visitors, businesses,
employees and members of vulnerable populations.

New Williamsburg Community Centre (2 FTEs)
The Williamsburg Community Centre is a new 17,000 square foot facility being constructed in partnership with the Waterloo Region Catholic District School Board. In
order to meet the needs of this fast growing part of the city, this new, larger centre (which will replace the existing 3,000 square foot rented facility) will include four
large program rooms, a spacious lobby and after-hours access to the school's double gymnasium. The addition of these two staff is required to operate the much
larger facility and is in-line with staffing models at other similar sized community centres.
Rehabilitating City Facilities (2 FTEs - conversion from temporary to permanent)
The City owns a number of facilities with a replacement value of nearly $213. These facilities require regular operating and maintenance activities (e.g. cleaning) as
well as periodic rehabilitation activities (e.g. roof replacement). Funding towards state of good repair (SOGR) rehabilitation projects has been permanently increased
starting in 2019 and requires additional permanent staff resources to complete planned projects going forward.
Meeting Increased Service Needs in Roads and Parks (1 FTE)
There is an increased legislated need to collect, record, analyze and monitor data and costs associated with above ground assets in Roads and Parks. Growth in
population as well as expanding services (e.g. Sidewalk Winter Maintenance Assisted Services Program) requires analysis and administrative support. An additional
staff resource will provide program analysis and recommendations to support improved core service delivery, improve response times for customer inquiries, and
ensure compliance with applicable legislation.

Preparer Bu Lam, Director, Sanitary and Stormwater Utilities
Background
I
The City encounters environmental requirements regularly in its day-to-day operations. Examples include managing unexpected spills, investigations regarding the
purchase of land with potential contamination, and Provincial regulatory changes regarding excess soils management. Staff have identified a resourcing and
expertise gap at the City to properly manage these ongoing needs. Currently contracted services are often used to manage these requirements which is not cost
effective and does not grow this expertise within the City.
In discussion with several divisions across the corporation, there is broad support for a dedicated, in-house staff resource with the necessary expertise to navigate
and support needs related to environmental spills, excess soils, contaminated sites, and other environmental liabilities at the City.
FRTrrri ni" rn
The environmental constraints the City operates under are becoming more restrictive and more complex. Divisions across the City must interpret changing
regulatory requirements as they come into effect and often rely heavily on consultants to address environmental issues as they arise. The City lacks a dedicated in
house resources to manage environmental requirements and develop standardized policies, plans, and processes.
While this expertise is required by several divisions across the City, no division requires this resource in a dedicated manner (only as needed when environmental
situations arise). As such, the recommendation is to hire one full time equivalent (FTE) that can provide this service level to multiple divisions across the City as
needed. This new FTE will be an Environmental Engineer and will:
- Review environmental, hydrogeological, excess soil reports to reduce the cost of peer review and frequent consultation with engineering firms and contractors. This
includes report reviews for a Record of Site Condition (RSC) filing on contaminated site developments related to planning and development applications. These costs
can be offset by a user fee for the service.
- Draft and/or review spills response and closure reports, which can reduce the cost of consultation with engineering firms. In the past three years consulting fees for
emergency spills response from broken watermains have totaled over $177,000.
- Scope pre -design work and review reports for City projects and contaminated sites. This will reduce costs for peer reviews and for consulting with engineers and
contractors.
- Review reports for legal purposes (e.g., land transfer), which can save money for the City rather than hiring consultants.
- Strategize excess soil and sediment management and reuse, which has the potential to create opportunities to divert excavated soils from landfills, resulting in
substantial cost savings and comply with new regulations.
- Develop cost -estimates for liabilities associated with contaminated sites to support annual reporting, which otherwise would require consultants to complete.
- Contact local and provincial regulators directly. This can reduce the need to hire consultants for City projects.
- Engage with the public and other external agencies like local, provincial, and federal regulators, other municipalities, and funding agencies.
The Environmental Engineer will report into the Sanitary and Stormwater Utility (SSU) which has several workplan items related to this FTE (e.g. excess soils,
contaminated sites, spills response).

Preparer Chris Spere, Director Engineering Services
- TBackground
he City has received an engineer's report recommending the replacement of a retaining wall/bridge abutment due to its poor condition. The retaining wall is part
of the roadway approach for the Stirling Avenue South CN Rail overpass. This retaining wall condition assessment was not previously included in the bi-annual OSIM
(legislated bridge condition inspections) as it is considered to be part of the roadway.
F - -
Rationale/ Analysis
The existing retaining wall is constructed of concrete bags. The concrete is deteriorating and the wall has been compromised by vegetation growth. The engineer's
report has declared the wall to be in poor condition and in need of immediate replacement and that repair of the existing wall is not feasible. This retaining wall is
part of the overall bridge structure and supports the approach of Stirling Avenue to the bridge.
Given the priority nature of the replacement, funding of $2.7M has been reallocated from the annual Road Resurfacing program (leaving $372k for 2025). The City's
pavement quality index (PQI) is better than the target, so reducing the program for one year is a viable solution.

Krm�" NER
The City reconstructs roads when the aboveground and underground infrastructure (watermains and sewers) approach the end of their useful lives. Each year staff
updates its reconstruction replacement listing based on new information which can cause a change in timing of specific projects. It is common for projects to move
forward or backward based on different factors such as impacts from other projects (both City projects and from other municipalities), changes in project pricing, and
updated condition information. Because of the uncertainty in timing around this type of work, specific projects are only identified for the first five years of the capital
forecast.
It should also be noted that there can be significant cost difference between specific projects (e.g. one project may cost over $10M, while a much smaller project
could cost closer to $1 M). Staff attempt to maximize the available funding each year to complete the maximum number of projects possible within the funding
constraints.
• - AL
The following changes have been made to the construction timing of the full reconstruction program:
1) Floyd Street: moved from later year to 2028 due to Water utility issues
2) Fifth Avenue: moved from later year to 2028 due to Water utility issues
3) Randerson Avenue: moved from later year to 2028 due to Gas utility issues
4) South Drive: moved from later year to 2028 due to Regional need
5) Avondale/Dunbar Neighbourhood: moved from later year to 2028 due to overall asset conditions

Cap 03 - SAP S/4HANA Upgrade
FINANCIAL SERVICES
FINANCIAL REPORTING & ERP SOLUTIONS
Katie Fischer, Director of Financial Reporting & ERP Solutions

K�NER
SAP was implemented as the City's core financial ERP system in 2008 (general ledger, finance and accounting, bank reconciliation, inventory management,
procurement, and accounts payable). It was expanded to include billing and collections for property taxes as well as utilities (water, sewer, storm, gas and rental water
heaters). SAP has indicated they are planning to sunset maintenance support for the version of their software being used at the City at the end of 2027, but this may
be extended somewhat for the City while it is working through its upgrade. The City needs to migrate to a newer version (S/4HANA) which is SAP's biggest update to
its ERP platform in decades. It represents a major upgrade not only from a technical end but also from the user experience side with SAP Fiori, a front -facing design
system that applies modern concepts for an intuitive user experience that works on desktops, tablets and smartphones. At the same time, SAP - as with many
technology software providers - is moving towards a software -as -a -service (SAAS) model, where the software is moved to a cloud -based solution hosted directly by
SAP.
The City's current version of SAP ECC was last released by SAP in 2016, making it a dated platform particularly from the user experience perspective. Given this, it
tends to be a core set of users who interact with SAP on a regular basis, such as those positions in Finance, Revenue, Procurement, and Kitchener Utilities. Managers
throughout the organization tend to rely on excel or other reports provided to them by the Finance team in order to monitor their budgetary spending. There is also
a strong reliance on Crystal reports outside of SAP to support data analytics needs. With the latest technology enhancements however, SAP S/4HANA brings the
capability for improved reporting and analytics to better support the needs of staff and management throughout the City.
Taking advantage of emerging and innovative technologies to support the City's goals is in-line with the Digital Kitchener strategy. SAP is investing heavily in
technological advancements, including artificial intelligence (AI) through partnership with Microsoft Copilot. As the City upgrades its existing SAP platforms and
expands into further SAP solutions such as SuccessFactors, these tools will become available to leverage in improving user experience, proactively identify issues, and
surface new insights into the City's data and processes. Similarly, moving to the cloud also supports the Digital Kitchener strategy, in supporting the security and
minimizing downtime and support needs for the City's evolving list of applications.
Planning for the project will commence towards the end of 2024 and take most of 2025 to complete. The upgrade will be completed in stages starting in 2026.
The estimated costs of the project are $15M and are included in the budget in 2026-2029.

Preparer Darren Becks, Director of Facilities Management

The Facilities Management (FM) Division is responsible for the acquisition, operation, maintenance, renewal and disposal of all the buildings owned by the City of
Kitchener. The portfolio of buildings is valued at nearly $213 and is diverse in its composition which includes both public and non-public facing facilities like
community centres, arenas, pools, park washrooms, arts and culture buildings, City Hall, fire stations, and the Kitchener Operations Facility (KOF).
Many City facilities are aging and require investments to improve functionality and extend the life of the building. Lifecycle planning of facilities is challenging due to
the complexity and interdependency of building components, the condition of some aging infrastructure, and the service delivery needs of different City divisions.
Through condition assessments, audits, studies, and client engagement, FM continues it's understanding of the work required in the short-term to ensure facilities
will continue function and deliver the services to the public and City staff while working to develop strategies for long-term capital planning. There is strong
competition for facility capital funding to meet competing goals such as completing deferred maintenance, reducing greenhouse gas emission, complying with
legislative/code standards, and meeting programming pressures of client groups.
■�
Funding has been added in 2025 to address three short-term capital projects that have already completed their design stage and are ready for or are currently in the
construction stage. This funding is required in addition to the regular State of Good Repair (SOGR) funding amount, which for 2025 is approximately $5.3M. The three
priority projects are noted below.
1) Centerville Chicopee Community Centre - The project aims to upgrade community facilities, including the splash pad, basketball court, playground, parking lot,
and multipurpose area. The goal is to complete the project by early summer 2025. Through a geotechnical study there was the discovery of peat, which is not an
acceptable fill material. Peat is unstable and could lead to the uneven settling of the site surface which would lead to the damage of the newly constructed assets. To
avoid this issue, the peat will be removed and replaced with a more suitable fill material for long term stability.
2) Mill Courtland Community Centre (MCCC) - Alongside the expansion of the MCCC, significant rehabilitation work is underway. This will include deferred
maintenance items, accessibility improvements, and energy efficiency upgrades. Completing the expansion and rehabilitation work concurrently will minimize
disruptions to the users of the MCCC. The expansion components of the project will be funded by development charges while the rehabilitation components of the
project will be funded by City sources.
3) City Hall Spandrel Glass Replacement - Kitchener City Hall serves as a prominent symbol of municipal governance. Being built in 1994, it is now 30 years old and is
the workplace for a significant number of City staff while offering many public facing services. City Hall's structural integrity relies heavily on its envelope systems,
which include double -glazed curtain walls, red sandstone cladding, aluminum panel systems, and granite cladding. Based on an engineered structural assessment of
the envelope system these systems have reached the end of their useful life and there is an immediate need to replace. This project is also a critical first step in

addressing greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency pathways for City Hall. This project will focus on the renewal of the 10 -story administrative tower
exterior which will be tendered for construction in the winter of 2024/2025 and construction will commence in the spring of 2025.
Financial Implications
Additional funding of $5.5M has been added to 2025 to address the three priority projects noted above.
