3 Review: Incremental Expenses of $20.8M Preliminary budget assumptions February 2006 $M Inflation Salaries Benefits Utilities etc Sub-total Investment $M PIF (grad) Support services Deferred maint Deficit repayment Sub-total Total incremental $ 20.8 million 3

5 Next Steps: Update major assumptions: Utilities: Positive impact of efficiencies (improved conservation) and changes to rate assumptions: RESULT: $2.0M reduction in cost estimate Deferred Maintenance: remove increase to base: Spend on highest priority only & increase borrowing as required RESULT: $1.0M reduced base allocation Ancillary Units: All Ancillaries: allocate share of service cost increases ($0.300M) Delay major capital project in Parking ($0.700M) RESULT: $1.0M additional support for operating budget costs 2005/2006 year-end forecast Utility price increases and shortfall on enrolment (compared to budget) will mean meeting the 2005/2006 target will be a challenge CONCLUSION: NO HELP FOR 2006/2007 5
