In addition staff were to look at the possibility of relocating an Adult Crossing Guard to avoid incurring the additional cost. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: The $2,500 for the cost of the remainder of 2007 is based on the school year not being equally divided. The winter/spring term represents approximately 2/3 of the school year and the fall term represents only a 1/3. The $8,500 from issue paper #2 — Adult Crossing Guard — Williamsburg Public School was overstated due to budgeting for a lunch hour service, which is now deemed not required. Below is a breakdown of providing a crossing guard for the required 2 hours per school day as opposed to 3 as was originally anticipated. Wages part-time $41657 Fringe 1,751 Mileage (cost of coverage when rover covers location) 125 Uniforms 70 Annual Medical 75 Total $61678 Relocating an adult crossing guard from another location would mean a reduction in service. This cannot be done arbitrarily and would require the development of a list of potential candidates, which would then require Council approval. These services are greatly valued by school children city wide and reducing the adult crossing guard service would contradict the goal of making the City of Kitchener more pedestrian friendly. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The annual cost for wages, fringe benefits and miscellaneous supplies, needed in the 2008 Operating Budget for the Williamsburg crossing guard, is approximately $6,678. This represents a savings of $1,822 over the original estimate. RECOMMENDATION: That the proposed additional budgeted cost for one additional Adult Crossing Guard for the intersection of Max Becker Dr and Isabella St be reduced from $8,500 to $6,678 in 2008. CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #14.1- Energy Management Program FUND: Operating Fund DEPARTMENT: Corporate Services- Facilities Management PREPARER: Laurier Proulx, Director of Facilities Management Saleh Saleh, Senior Financial Analyst BACKGROUND: On January 14, 2008, Council requested that staff provide an issue paper with additional detail on the Energy Management fund. This was in response to a staff request to create a permanent budget line in the operating budget to fund 1 FTE position related to the Energy Management Initiatives, currently funded through capital. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: The Energy Management fund started in the 1980's. For over twenty years, the program has implemented numerous energy saving projects. The goal of the program is to reduce utility costs in all city -owned buildings. This is accomplished by maximizing the efficiency of equipment and systems that serve City facilities as well as introducing new technologies and procedures that allow the City to minimize operating costs. The balance in the energy management fund as at December 31, 2007 is $337,082. Annual funding sources for this fund include capital out of current (CC) and revolving energy payback funding from projects already completed. The 2008 budget includes $98,838 from Capital out of Current and $136,548 in recoveries from projects. Below is a detailed projection of the fund over the next 5 years.

Staff is recommending that $83,615 in wages and benefits be funded from the operating fund as this will create more capacity in the energy management fund to continue with the implementation of energy efficient capital projects. In prior years, energy management improvements have not been 100% recovered which has contributed to the projected deficit position. In addition, future projects are anticipated to be undertaken on a larger scale, resulting in longer payback periods which would also mean longer projected deficits in this account. Upon completing an energy management retrofit, the City's practice is to reduce the energy budget by the estimated amount of savings. At the same time, a revolving energy provision line item is added to the operating budget to transfer the savings over the payback period to the energy management capital account. In the event the savings are not realized as anticipated, this would be reflected as a negative variance in the operating budget of the facility. In the event savings exceed original expectations, this would be reflected as a positive variance in the operating budget of the facility. Staff ensures that, at the end of the payback period, the utility operating budgets reflect the permanent savings of the initiative by removing the revolving energy provision line item. It is anticipated that in 2008, the following energy management projects will be started: Payback 2008 Period Breithaupt Window Film 4,133 5 years KMAC Window Film Front Lobby 81875 5 years Power Factor Corrections Various Locations 601000 4 years Variable Frequency Drives On Pool Filter Pumps 19,399 3 years City Hall Transformer Retrofit 2601000 5 years City Hal I T-8 And Ballast Retrofit 681250 2 years 42U, 6b-1 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Given the forecast for high value energy management projects in the next few years, the energy management fund will be depleted if the City continues to charge 1 FTE position to the capital account. Allocating the FTE to the operating budget will add $83,615 to the operating tax base. RECOMMENDATION: That $83,615 be included in Operating budget to cover energy management labor and benefits starting in 2008. CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #19.1—Addition of Junior Buyer— Purchasing Division FUND: Operating DEPARTMENT: Financial Services — Purchasing Division PREPARER: Larry Gordon, Director of Purchasing BACKGROUND: During the review of the operating budget on January 14, Council approved (subject to final budget deliberations) the addition of a junior buyer for the purchasing division. Subsequently, staff has reviewed the potential to fund some of the cost of this position through anticipated savings in contracts in 2008. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: Staff are proposing that partial funding for this position be provided through tax-based savings achieved through the following contracts, recently awarded (assumes 80% tax-based): $15,000 photocopier contract $21,000 blackberry contract (161 blackberries * $31 /month savings *12 months * 80% tax base = $47,914). Initially, the 2008 budget was adjusted for savings of $27,000 related to budget. A revised estimate has been provided $12,000 cellphone contract (159 units *8/month savings *12 months * 80% tax base = $121211) Total = $48,000 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Adjusting the budgets for these savings will offset $48,000 of the cost of the new junior buyer, representing a 0.06% levy reduction. RECOMMENDATION: That the tax-based budgets for the photocopier contract, blackberry charges and cellphones be reduced by $15,000, $21,000 and $12,000 respectively in 2008 ($48,000 total savings), to partially offset the cost of the proposed new junior buyer ($55,000). CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #29.1 — Investment Income FUND: Operating DEPARTMENT: General Revenue PREPARER: Roger LeBrun, Manager of Financial Planning & Reporting BACKGROUND: During the review of the operating budget by Finance and Corporate Services Committee on January 14, 2008, Council requested details on the amount of operating fund investment income generated by the City over the past several years. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: The investment income that has been earned and allocated to the operating fund over the last five years is shown in the chart below. The figure for 2007 represents an estimate and the figure for 2008 is the budgeted amount. Due to the sub -prime mortgage crisis in the United States, as well as other economic factors, interest rates have been very volatile in the last few months and have continued to fall since September 2007. Short term rates were approximately 5% in September and have fallen to approximately 4.15% by mid January 2008. Rates for 2008 are expected to be in the range of 3.70% to 3.95 %. In view of the fluctuations experienced by the City over the past several years (both in terms of rates and balances) staff recommends that the budget be maintained at the five -year average. Increasing the budget may jeopardize the sustainability of the budget line and expose the City to the increased risk of an operating fund deficit at a time when a deficit cannot be funded through the tax stabilization reserve fund.

RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: The 2007 golf rounds for Doon and Rockway are 40,260 and 40,133 respectively: These numbers represent increases of 3.8% for each course over 2006. The 2008 budgeted administration costs are $16,000 higher at Rockway than Doon due to Rockway being used for more events and catering. The difference is primarily attributed to higher club house supplies ($4,000) and electricity ($12,000). Catering and room rental revenues are higher at Rockway than Doon by $44,000. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A RECOMMENDATION: MW I =I CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #32 — Gasworks Delivery Revenues and Gross Margin FUND: Operating DEPARTMENT: Financial Services — Utilities PREPARER: Pauline Houston, General Manager of Financial Services BACKGROUND: During operating budget discussions on January 14th 2008, Council directed staff to provide a history of gross margins for the delivery program as well as an explanation for projected decrease in revenues for 2008. In addition, there was a question regarding when 2007 gas inventories and year end operating results would be finalized. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: The gross margin for the delivery program from 2003 to present in ($'000's) is as follows: 2003 $171922 49.5% 2004 $181034 48.7% 2005 $211538 52.0% 2006 $131793 41.6% 2007 (budget) $171440 47.3% 2008 (budget) $161451 44.2% Projecting gross margin for the delivery program is extremely complex and can fluctuate dramatically depending on weather and economic /market conditions. The three main components of the gross margin includes: delivery of gas, management of transportation, and asset optimization (trading of gas purchases depending on market conditions). While the first component is more predictable and dependent primarily on weather and production volumes of industrial users, the other two components, which makes up approximately 15 to 25% of the gross margin are driven by market forces which can and have been quite volatile. Since most of our transportation requirements for 2008 have already been contracted, the projections used are relatively fixed. Note: $1.5 million of the 2005 gross margin relates to one asset optimization transaction. Gas delivery revenue budget is based on a number of factors, including: • Average revenue by service group of the last five years • Adjust for plant closures (e.g. Michelin) and other industrial customers volumes • Adjust for residential customer growth, net of implementation of more energy efficient appliances • Adjust for transportation rates and revenues For 2008, it is estimated that based on reductions in industrial customer volumes, net growth at 1 % and a slight decline in transportation benefit, the delivery revenues will decrease. In order to finalize 2007 year end operating results, gas inventories must be reconciled. In order to do that, all gas purchase invoices must be received (usually late January), all January billings related to December must be completed (usually mid January) and reconciliations completed. The earliest estimated date for this to occur is mid to late February. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A RECOMMENDATION: N/A CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #33 —Water and Wastewater Rate History FUND: Operating DEPARTMENT: Financial Services — Utilities (Water); DTS — Engineering (Sewer) PREPARER: Ruth-Anne Goetz, Senior Financial Analyst BACKGROUND: On January 14, Council requested both historical rate increase comparisons for surrounding municipalities, as well as a copy of the Region's 2008 budget issue papers on Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: Staff have compiled the historical combined water and sewer rate increases for the cities of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge, in the following chart. It is important to note that these rate increases are based on information compiled for year end comparison reporting, as in, they incorporate any rate changes that occurred during the year, such that the rate shown is the average rate paid by a homeowner for the year. As such, the change in the City of Kitchener's rates will vary slightly from what was presented during the budget discussions.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None. This issue paper provides background information, only. RECOMMENDATION: None. I'Ll Mel N iy� TIN 9 USI'Ll MYEAN I W UVA Operating In the Water Services operating budget, ongoing issues related to compliance and monitoring resulting from the Drinking Water Regulations, the need to maintain the infrastructure in peak operating condition, and the recommissioning of the Greenbrook WTP, have resulted in a 10% increase to the budget. The staffing cost increase is mainly related to the new positions (as outlined in the Budget Issue papers) and to the annual COLA and benefits increase. The increase in utilities cost associated with recommissioning Greenbrook in 2008 is expected to be approximately $600,000. Additional maintenance and repair costs of $325,000 have been added to the 2008 budget with the largest increase being in "maintenance to storage tanks and reservoirs" to increase the frequency of reservoir inspection and cleaning. Capital The proposed 2008-2017 Water capital program is $444.1 million. The 2008 Water capital program has remained very stable over 2007. The capital increase is $36 million in the 2014- 2016 timeframe which is directly attributable to new Water Resource Protection projects responding to the Clean Water Act requirements. 6- M_ ATMOTM f M To finance the increase in the capital program, total proposed debenture financing has increased to $40.5 million from $25 million in 2007. Debentures will be issued for $9.96 million for water capital projects in 2007. Repayment of the debt has been included in the 2008 budget. r-, R r. A As part of the 2004 budget, Regional Council approved incorporating 100% of the Region's share of the GRCA levy into the Water and Wastewater funds.

Water Services has experienced significant cost pressures over the past few years related to increased enforcement of provincial regulations, inflation, and with the imposition of higher environmental standards. As reported last year, it remains unknown at this time the exact impact that legislation such as the Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act (Bill 175) will have on future rates.

Zehr and with all members present except Councillors G. Lorentz and J. Gazzola. Notice of this special meeting had been previously given to all members of Council by the City Clerk pursuant to Chapter 25 (Council Procedure) of the Municipal Code. Moved by Councillor C. weylie Seconded by Councillor B. Vrbanovic "That an in- camera meeting of City Council be held immediately following this special meeting to consider a potential litigation matter and two matters subject to solicitor - client privilege." Carried. C. Ladd, Chief Administrative Officer, advised that this strategic planning session is part of a series of meetings that have been held over the past two and a half years to allow discussion on various strategic initiatives and directions being taken by the City. P. Houston, General Manager of Financial Services & City Treasurer, gave a presentation on the Corporate Strategic Directions - Financial Management, outlining the services provided and the City's current strategic position with respect to financial management. Ms. Houston noted that the City has a lower assessment per capita than the Provincial average ($73,245. vs. $86,938.). G. Stewart, General Manager of Development and Technical Services, questioned whether this lower assessment needs to be addressed with the intent of increasing assessment within the City. It was agreed that assessment levels should be investigated further to ascertain if there are ways to increase the assessment in the City. Ms. Houston provided two graphs showing the tax rate and inflation increases from 1993 - 2904 and the total weighted assessment growth for the same period. She noted that the estimated assessment growth for 2005 is 1.68 percent. Mayor C. Zehr pointed out that the large decrease of assessment growth noted on the graph in 1998 was partly caused by the number of vacant buildings and Brownfield properties at that time and that staff should review the assessment amount of current vacant buildings and be cognizant of this effect in the future. Ms. Houston then reviewed the current strategic initiatives under the Financial Management Program and the work plan for new initiatives. Councillor M. Galloway asked if the Internal Auditor position has been filled and how this will have a bearing on the work plan. Ms. Houston responded that the position has been filled and the responsibilities will include a comprehensive service level assessment, corporate fees, a comprehensive costing system (activity based costing), a comprehensive performance system and process mapping. Ms. Houston then provided a review of the 2005 budget targets. Councillor Galloway requested that the budget information be provided to members of Council sooner than it has been in the past and specifically 10 business days. Ms. Houston responded that staff will provide the information as soon as possible and will make every attempt for the 10 days. Mayor Zehr inquired about the GST credit shown as part of the 2005 budget. Ms. Houston responded that with the changes to the GST program, it is a one -time credit which will not appear after the 2005 budget. R. Browning, Interim General Manager of Strategic Services & Economic Development, provided an overview of Strategic Services Department report SSD -03 -035, dated September 6, 2004, regarding an update on restructuring of the Economic Development Division. Mr. Browning noted that the Economic Development Division was still in transition but moving forward. He advised that staff are working with Woolwich Township and the Region on the feasibility of providing services to the lands located north of Breslau. Mayor Zehr advised of a Regional report regarding the East Side Lands and the need for the City to have input into this development. C. Ladd suggested that staff meet with Council to discuss the City's position on development of these lands taking into consideration the risk in using the City's servicing capacity in developing these lands. R. Browning advised that the Economic Development Division will be moving into the Business Enterprise Centre located on the Main Floor of City Hall as part of the restructuring plan. Mayor Zehr pointed out that it was important that Economic Development maintain its connection and communication with the Development and Technical Services Department and, in particular, the service offered to developers with respect to facilitating the development process. C. Ladd advised that although the development process will be revisited, the role of a facilitator in this matter will not be removed. Councillor M. Galloway questioned the restructuring of the Economic Development Division and Council's direction in this matter. He pointed out that in 2002 the City underwent a SPECIAL COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 20, 2004 -319 - CITY OF KITCHENER general re- organization of the departments in order to align services and create synergies between departments and he raised a concern whether the proposed restructuring would create problems in this regard. Mayor Zehr suggested that C. Ladd and R. Browning provide Council with the information that was presented to Council previously on the proposed Economic Development Division restructuring. Councillor B. Vrbanovic advised of the need to make business attraction a priority with Economic Development especially with the Kitchener Downtown Business Association. He added that there is a need to be proactive in assisting property owners in finding appropriate tenants for their vacant properties. C. Ladd advised that the Canadian Technology Triangle (CTT) has been requested to progressively market the Kitchener Downtown as a means of attracting new development for businesses in the pharmacology and bio- technical fields. She further advised that staff will report to Council on the strategies to be put in place for attracting and retaining businesses in the City of Kitchener. C. Ladd provided an update on the Leadership Initiative which began in June 2004 and advised that a Leadership Training Program has been developed for the next level of management staff. Ms. Ladd invited members of Council to offer thoughts on leadership behaviour which could then be part of the Leadership Training Program. R. Browning provided Council with the quarterly progress report on the Shared Agenda, progress report on Asset Management and on the City's infrastructure. Councillor M. Galloway pointed out that under growth management in the Shared Agenda, the review of by -laws and assessment of community design issues shows only 5 percent complete and questioned whether this particular initiative has been given the priority it deserves. G. Stewart advised that a report will be presented to the Development and Technical Services Committee in October and pointed out that the 5 percent listed on the agenda may be incorrect and should be higher. Mr. Stewart advised he would look into the status of this initiative and provide that information to Council. C. Ladd provided a schedule of public sessions and reports to Standing Committees 1 Council advising this schedule will provide Council and staff with a list of priority reports and presentations and when they will be made to Council or one of the Standing Committees. She further advised that the schedule will be updated regularly. Councillor B. Vrbanovic requested that when the schedule is updated that it be attached to the Council weekly events schedule in order to keep members of Council apprised of these important dates. On motion, the meeting adjourned at 4:40 p.m. MAYOR CLERK CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #37—FTE Summary Information FUND: N/A DEPARTMENT: N/A PREPARER: Dan Chapman, Director of Financial Planning & Reporting BACKGROUND: Subsequent to operating budget review, a Council member requested a summary of core complement and FTE counts over the past four years with a comparison to population. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: Attached is a copy of the City's core complement and FTE counts from 2003 to 2007. It should be noted that minor methodology changes were made to the counts for some contract, temporary and seconded positions in 2007 which results in minor differences when compared to 2006 total counts.

RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: The chart below identifies the average balance and average interest rate earned for the operating fund investment amount for the last three years and budget amounts for 2008. Year Average Rate Average Short Term nvestment Balance I nvestment Income 2005 2.63% $74M $1.9M 2006 3.97% $79M $3.1 M 2007 4.40% $68M - $78M $3.OM - $3.4M 2008 3.24% $70M $2.2M *Note: Calculations for 2007 have not been finalized so an estimate has been provided. Subsequent to the preparation of issue paper #29.1 staff has noted that short -term interest rates have continued to fall and the yield projection for 2008 is now approximately 25 basis points below the initial projection of 3.70% to 3.95 %. There is considerable uncertainty related to future interest rates given current economic conditions, but it is possible that the Bank of Canada may become aggressive with future rate cuts depending on how developments in the U.S. economy unfold and whether financial market confidence remains in question. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A RECOMMENDATION: N/A IIII IIII 'uu IIII ���9, CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #35.1—Winter Control Costs FUND: Operating DEPARTMENT: Community Services - Operations PREPARER: Jamie Mahony, Senior Financial Analyst BACKGROUND: Subsequent to the review of the operating budget, a Council member asked staff to provide the number of "full plow" incidents for the City of Kitchener in 2006, 2007 and 2008 to date. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: Below is the number of "full plow" incidents that have occurred in 2008 to date and from 2007 back to 2004. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A RECOMMENDATION: N/A Snow Events FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A RECOMMENDATION: N/A CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #38 — Annual and Minor Sport Grants FUND: Operating DEPARTMENT: General / Community Services PREPARER: Jamie Mahony, Senior Financial Analyst BACKGROUND: Council directed staff to calculate savings if recipients of Annual and Minor Sport Grants received 0% or 1 % increases versus the 2% interim Community Investment Strategy guideline. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: As shown on the Annual Grant Percentage 2008 Increase spreadsheet (attached), the potential savings resulting from reducing the increase from 2% to 1 % is $11,499 and from 2% to 0% is $23,000. Annual Grants for recipients that have disbanded, are not performing in Kitchener or are not close to the 2% increase have been excluded from the potential savings analysis. As per the Minor Sport Grant Percentage 2008 Increase spreadsheet (attached), the potential savings resulting from reducing the increase from 2% to 1 % is $2,463 and from 1 % to 0% is $4,927. Due to a previous 2004 Council decision to leave the Kitchener Minor Hockey Grant increase at 2 %, it has been excluded from the Minor Sport Grant potential savings analysis. As an alternative, should Council wish to reduce grant budgets, staff recommends that Council reduce the general provision grants budget rather than reducing core operating for other recipients. It should be noted that a portion of the 2008 general provision is pre- committed. Staff recommends that consider reducing the budgets for those groups which have disbanded or are not performing in Kitchener as follows: Kitchener Citizens Beautification Committee $21305 Waterloo County Quilt Festival 21706 Festival of Trees 51610 K -W Opera 7,803 18,424 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: A 2% reduction in all grants as outlined above would yield $27,927 in savings which translates to 0.03% on the tax levy. A 1% reduction in all grants would yield $13,962 in savings which translates to 0.02% on the tax levy. Eliminating grants for groups which have disbanded or are not performing would yield $18,424 in savings which translates to 0.02% on the tax levy. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the following grants be eliminated from the 2008 budget for a net levy savings of approximately 0.02 %: Kitchener Citizens Beautification Committee $21305 Waterloo County Quilt Festival 21706 Festival of Trees 51610 K -W Opera 7,803 18,424 IIII IIII 'uu IIII ���9, 4- C O E a N U C C O E a cn c� U C O T C) Lt) Lt) C) C) IT It 00 M O O It O � M M O N N M O M O M co O LO M 1` O N O LO 00 O O O LO 00 N m M O 1` M L() 1` N L() � L() N IT ti IT CD IT Lt) IT O N O IT O r 00 O CA CD N LO CD N LO 1` � LO LO - O 1` � N M N 00 1` LO � M M 00 M a) a) a) a) a) a) a) a) a) a) (1) U U U U U U U U U U U X X X X X X X X X X X W W W W W W W W W W W C) r C) O O O O 00 1` CD 1` O O 00 O N 1` CD O IT IT tD LO O M tD O O M LO O IT C) C) tD O O O O CD It 00 CD O IT tD O Lt) L() O N O IT CA It 00 N 00 O w M LO O 00 O N CD O 00 CV N LO r CV) N N r N qT N r— N M O � � � � � N IT ce) 00 LO N I` it � (D S O N N M 1` M M 1` r CD M N � CO � V- r u 0 0 0 i O Cf) O C O CA O C j N N C O O C j N O C f) V-- C f r, Co L() f LI )I O O O C O CD O c O O O C f I` CO L() C /•- fl.

Examples include: 50K$ per department, 0.5% in all discretionary spending and a 1 M$ general reduction. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: Appendix 1 shows the expenditures for discretionary cost categories in 2008. It is important to note that discretionary lines include some non - discretionary items such as bad debts expense, postage, vehicle, computer and equipment maintenance, etc. Therefore, the maximum savings from a one percent reduction in discretionary spending is calculated as $164,675. If non - discretionary items such as postage are eliminated from the analysis, the true potential discretionary savings is reduced to $42,752 at the rate of 1 %. It should be noted that the budget call inflation factors for discretionary spending have been already been held constant for the past 3 years with no adjustment for inflation which is a reduction in spending of 6.1 % in real terms for these budget lines. In August 2007, net departmental budgets were projected to be overspent by 0.4M$, primarily due to a 0.4M$ variance from an increased number of winter events in the first half of 2007. At that time it was felt that, overall, departments were on target to meet budgets with no appreciable positive variances (excluding the winter events). This demonstrates, as validated through the intensive administrative review process, that there is negligible capacity in existing budgets. As a result, an across - the -board reduction would have a direct impact on the service - delivery capacity of City departments.

Expressed differently, the current dividend represents 19.9% of the City's share of average net income for the previous fiscal year. A number of other Ontario municipalities have developed dividend policies for their Hydro utilities based on a percentage of net income, most commonly at the rate of 50 %. If Kitchener Power Corporation had paid a dividend at the level of 50% of net income the additional revenue would have ranged from $1.1 million to $2.6 million annually over the past three years. Any sustainable increase in the dividend would enable an increased transfer to the operating budget. Hydro Dividend Analysis The City's shareholder agreement for Kitchener Power Corporation indicates: s.1.3(c)(ii) —The Shareholders expect that the Board will establish policies to... provide the Shareholders with a reasonable return... through the payment of dividends, interest or otherwise. s.2.1(i) - ...the Board shall be responsible for... the establishment of appropriate reserves and a dividend policy consistent with sound financial principles, all with the intention of providing the Shareholders with a reasonable rate of return on their investment while maintaining reasonable rates for customers. Staff is not aware of a dividend policy for Kitchener Power Corporation. However, the subsidiary company, Kitchener - Wilmot Hydro Inc. has a policy to pay dividends to the parent company up to a maximum of 40% of the net income of the previous year at the Board's discretion subject to the recommendation of the CEO and CFO. The City has not yet received a dividend payment from Kitchener Power Corporation based on 2007 financial results. However, unless the dividend rate was to be adjusted there is likely not potential to provide sustainable tax rate reduction through increased earnings from Hydro in 2008. That being said, Council could consider addressing this issue with Hydro during 2008 in advance of the 2009 budget and dividend payment.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: As discussed above RECOMMENDATION: For discussion CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #41 Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund Options FUND: Reserve Funds DEPARTMENT: General PREPARER: Bernita Stever, Senior Financial Analyst BACKGROUND: Council members have asked staff to consider the potential to transfer amounts from capital accounts and reserve funds into the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund in order to mitigate the property tax increase for 2008. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: In 1981, the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund was established to mitigate the annual tax rate impact of non - recurring, extraordinary revenues and expenses. At the end of 2008 the balance is projected to be $0.5 million. Deficits are projected beyond 2008. The question to be answered in this paper is - "what amount of transfer into the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund is required in order to avoid a deficit in the fund and also potentially permit deferral of the reduction of reliance on the fund in 20087" The transfers to the operating budget have been reduced from 5.1 M$ in 2004 to 1.8M$ (projected) in 2007, primarily as a result of the rationalization of transfers in 2005 and the move to budget for supplementary taxes starting in 2007. A further reduction of $458,500 each year is currently recommended starting in 2008 to avoid a deficit in the fund. Tables I and II on page 2 show projected balances for the fund based on potential additional transfers into the fund in $ 1 million increments if transfers to the operating budget were reduced $458,500 per year starting in 2008 or 2009 respectively. If the $458,500 per year reduction in transfers begins in 2008, then $0.8 million of additional revenue from other reserves would be required to eliminate the projected deficits. If the reductions start in 2009, then $2.6 million of additional revenue would be required to eliminate the deficits. Staff will have an interactive projection available on final budget day that can be used to model the impact of various scenarios. RPnnhmarkG The credit rating agency standard for stabilization reserve balances as a percentage of total expenditures is 5% to 10 %. Using the credit rating benchmark and the City's 2007 budgeted expenditures, the target for the tax stabilization reserve fund would be $5.9 million to $11.9 million. Staff recommend that these benchmarks be used as a long -term target since maintaining an appropriate balance ensures that the City has sufficient funds to address a major snow event, community emergency (e.g., flu pandemic, flood, ice storm, etc), economic downturn (low supplementary taxes, high write - offs), environmental issue, etc. Staff notes that proposed transfers into the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund, while increasing the balance, will not reach the target minimum. As such, extending reliance at the current level for an additional year exposes the City to greater risk in the areas identified above. The transfer of other reserve balances into the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund in order to provide property tax increase relief will reduce the overall balance of reserves and reserve funds. This is problematic in that the 2006 financial review identified that the City had a reserves and reserve funds balance per household of $550 compared to the comparison group median of $1,032 per household.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A RECOMMENDATION 2XT/_1 IIII IIII 'uu IIII ���9, CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #45 — Working Capital Reserve Fund FUND: Reserve Funds DEPARTMENT: General PREPARER: Bernita Stever, Senior Financial Analyst BACKGROUND: Subsequent to the presentation of the operating budget some Council members have questioned whether or not the Working Capital Reserve Fund is still required in whole or in part. Council members have expressed an interest in potentially utilizing the balance to fund tax increase relief through the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: In common with most other municipalities, the City has maintained a Working Capital Reserve Fund for many years to reduce the need to borrow externally during times of negative cash positions. In 1987, it was recommended that the balance should be maintained at 2.5% to 3% of gross current expenses of the City of Kitchener of the immediately preceding year. At that time, cash balances in the months of December, January, and February were negative as payments were required prior to the collection of tax revenue in March. The purpose of the fund was to provide cash for those months when cash balances are negative and high interest costs are incurred. At as the end of 2007, the working capital reserve fund balance is $4.7 million. An analysis of the last 5 years shows that cash balances in December, January, and February were positive and were greater than $5 million. Therefore, the balance in the Working Capital Reserve Fund has not been required to provide cash and eliminate the need for temporary borrowing. A major factor which contributes to maintaining positive balances in those three months is a $6 million deposit at the beginning of each month for taxpayers on the Equal Payment Plan. Other factors which reduce the need for the fund include lower interest and overdraft costs, and overdraft protection, in the event temporary borrowing is required in the future. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The $4.7 million balance in the Working Capital Reserve Fund could be transferred to the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund. This would benefit taxpayers as it would increase the capacity for transfers to the operating budget out of the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund. Eliminating the fund would result in an estimated reduction of general fund investment income of $188,000 annually, as all interest on working funds is credited to general fund investment income. RECOMMENDATION: THAT "Council Policy 1 -770 — Reserve Fund — Working" be repealed and the Working Capital Reserve Fund eliminated; THAT the balance of $4,704,750 in the Working Capital Reserve Fund be transferred to the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund; AND FURTHER THAT the budget for investment income be reduced by $188,000 in 2008 to offset the reduced general fund investment balance associated with this transfer. CITY OF KITCHENER 2008 BUDGET ISSUE PAPER ISSUE: #46 — Capital Transfers FUND: Operating DEPARTMENT: General Expense PREPARER: Ruth-Anne Goetz, Senior Financial Analyst BACKGROUND: Council has requested further information on the possibility of using funds, that were previously set aside for capital works and for certain reasons are no longer required, towards lowering the operating budget request and thus providing levy relief. RATIONALE / ANALYSIS: The following provides a brief discussion on capital funds that Council thought could be used to curb the capital out of current expense in the operating budget, in order to reduce the estimated tax increase. Cultural Capitals of Canada The City of Kitchener's application for this program was unsuccessful. Funds were set aside for this program, over a 3 year period starting in 2007, amounting to $667,000 in total. Currently, $150,000 of this funding is in a capital account, and can therefore be closed to capital surplus. In addition, $250,000 is budgeted in 2008 for this initiative that could be closed to capital surplus in 2008. The third year of the program is budgeted in 2009 in the amount of $267,000. Staff recommends retaining the 2009 allocation to enable the cultural community to explore alternative partnerships throughout the Region and the private sector. Capital Surplus Currently, there is a balance of approximately $1,282,000 in the capital surplus account. Of this, $830,000 has been allocated to fund the capital pool, leaving a balance of approximately $452,000 available for other capital uses. However, it should be noted that committing capital surplus to tax rate reduction will reduce the City's ability to respond to urgent or emergency capital needs. At present, a balance of approximately $170,000 is projected for 2008 in the City's capital contingency account, which is very low. Federal Gas Tax The Municipal Funding Agreement, which oversees the Federal Gas Tax program, requires recipients to ensure that the funds received result in net incremental capital spending on municipal infrastructure, and that there is no reduction in capital funding provided by municipalities for municipal infrastructure (section 3.1.b and c. of the funding agreement). Therefore, funds received by the City must be used to support capital infrastructure projects, and the City cannot fall below the "base amount" of capital funding on infrastructure works. Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative If the City is successful in obtaining this grant, the program guidelines specify that the funding is available for capital investments in municipal infrastructure, and that operating costs of municipally owned infrastructure assets are ineligible for funding. However, the City will not know whether our application has succeeded until the end of March. As the purpose of the program is to support the construction or renewal of municipally owned infrastructure assets, it would be imprudent to apply any funds that were previously allocated to the capital project for which funding is being sought, to the operating fund. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Reducing the capital out of current request in the operating budget is not sustainable, as the amount will have to be increased two-fold in the following year to sustain the existing capital program. However, Council could consider transferring the excess 2007/2008 Cultural Capitals funding ($400,000) and capital surplus funding ($452,000) to the tax stabilization reserve fund to assist with tax rate increase mitigation in 2008. A subsequent issue paper provides detail with respect the impact of potential adjustments within the tax stabilization reserve fund. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the 2007 and 2008 Cultural Capitals of Canada allocations in the amount of $400,000 be closed out to capital surplus in 2008; THAT capital surplus in the amount of $852,000 be transferred to the tax stabilization reserve fund in 2008; AND FURTHER THAT the 2009 capital budget allocation for Cultural Capitals of Canada be maintained to enable the cultural community to further discuss alternative partnerships that would result in a major cultural event in 2009. 1. That the 2008 department operating budget, resulting in a 2008 levy for general purposes of $83,683,528 be approved. 2. That an increase in the 2008 tax rate, excluding tax policy changes, be approved at an estimate of 5.24%. 3. That a special capital levy of $5,369,176, which results in a 0.70% increase in the 2008 tax rate to be allocated to the Economic Development Investment Fund, be approved, with the understanding that this levy represents the fifth year of the 10 -year investment program ,as per the projection included in the budget day presentation to Council. 4.
