3 Discussion ensued on: the need to balance the efficiencies and operational effectiveness with oversight/public perception the extent, purpose and timing of the Finance Committee involvement in the administration/oversight of large capital projects financing the magnitude of construction change orders average number of goods, services and construction contracts in the range of $5 million to $10 million the use of a contingency amount and the potential for and implications of a lower project contingency amount on the number of changes orders the construction change orders approval process the rationale for making a distinction between fee and non-fee simple real property interests approval authorities the reasons for differentiating between the proposed disposal and purchase authorities for fee simple real properties; the rationale for all disposals of fee simple real property interests being forwarded to the Board The following comments were provided on the Procurement and Real Property Contracting Authority Policy: concern that the proposed limits for contracting authority for goods, services and construction are too high the proposed contracting authority for goods, services and construction between $250,000 to $2 million is insufficient; insert another category from $500,000 to $2 million for timing purposes, authorize the standing committees to sign off on contracts with the Board to sign off on larger contracts the contracting authority set for the existing programs is not an issue; however, new programs and new capital projects should be monitored more closely by the Board create a list of exceptions from the approval process, based on the nature and/or size of a contract the amounts paid to vendors, not necessarily separate contracts, are reported to the public as part of a public list concern about setting the proposed contracting authority for construction change orders at 10% of the original contract price concern that a percentage limit is not specified in the top two proposed construction change orders categories higher percentage limits in the top two proposed construction change orders categories would be acceptable; however, it may be useful to have specifications the importance of a rigid and clearly defined set of controls to protect staff challenges relating to one-person spending authority in view of the Lower Mainland market, consider an increase of the $250,000 threshold for real property purchases held on Monday, March 17, 2014 Page 3 of 5
4 disposal of all real property interests (including non-fee simple interests) should be authorized by the Board harmonize the proposed contracting authority for fee simple and non fee simple interests real properties 1:07 p.m. Director Froese departed the meeting.

5 projects and detailed financial decisions; line-by-line operating oversight by the Finance Committee would not be productive; only a high-level financial review and potential financial challenges should be brought forward to the Finance Committee for consideration the Finance Committee's prime role as an overseer of financial audits and as an entity leading the preparation and presentation of an annual budget to the Board the potential for the Finance Committee to transform into a budget and audit committee concern about the Finance Committee assuming the audit role, which surpasses the Committee's existing role and expertise the Finance Committee is already conducting financial audits oversight of the internal audit is an important role of the Finance Committee and should be incorporated in the Terms of Reference the difference between capital-oriented Metro Vancouver spending versus operation-oriented municipal spending the minimal role of the Finance Committee in a largely capital extensive organization; Committee's minimal involvement in terms of approval and input on large capital project should be clarified in the policy contentment with the Finance Committee's existing role the importance of maintaining and replacing the existing infrastructure; the potential for the Finance Committee to lead the capital planning and asset management program the Finance Committee as an appropriate venue for exploration of service benchmarking 3.
