3 THE CAPITAL FORECAST This section provides an overview of the Capital Forecast. A detailed presentation will be provided at the May 28 th Budget Committee Meeting. As shown in the previous pages, the total proposed 10 Year Capital Forecast includes expenditures of $822.6 million. This represents and increase of $43 million over the forecast included in the 2008 Budget Book ( comparison). This increase is driven by rising construction and commodity cost experienced in the past year and the addition of various new projects in the later years to service growth. The Engineering and Construction program has experienced the largest increase at $39 million which is a direct reflection of recent construction cost increases along with the addition of an enhanced program to service the growth which is largely supported by Development Charges. In addition, the forecast includes revisions to the 2009 Capital Budget. The 2009 budget has been revised to $84.5 million to incorporate the recommendations included in the 2009 Capital Budget Revisions report approved by council in April. This represents a reduction of $9.8 million from the originally approved budget of $94.3 million. The following charts and tables outline the major areas of expenditure and the financing sources to support these expenditures. This first graph illustrates the capital expenditures by program type. The largest area of capital expenditures relates to Engineering & Construction, which totals $ million, or 43% of the total Capital Forecast. This is followed by Transit with $112.4 million, Parks & Open Space with $96.0 million and Recreation & Culture with $87.4 million.

These projects represent 46% of the total capital budget. Detailed project information included in the 10 Year forecast has been provided in the following sections of this book divided by program.

These resources are used primarily to finance Infrastructure Renewal projects and the benefit to existing portions of the Growth program. External financing sources include Gas Tax Funding which accounts for $78 million (10%) and Other Revenue at $9 million (1%). Gas Tax funding has been directed in most part to the Transit and Road Infrastructure programs, as the intent of this funding is to promote cleaner air, cleaner water or reduce green house gas emissions CAPITAL FORECAST BY FUNDING SOURCES $ Million Gas Tax, $79.7, 10% Financing of the Capital Forecast is provided by several different funding sources. As shown in this next chart the largest source of financing is Development Charges, which accounts for 42% of the total funding at $339 million, which is expected considering the large portion of the budget that is related to Growth. The next largest source is the contribution from the Operating Budget (Capital Levy) totaling $168 million or 20% of overall funding. Additional Corporate Contribution from Operating, $168.4, 20% Other Revenue, $9.4, 1% Local Infrastructure Funding, $67.8, 8% Reserves and Reserve Funds, $130.9, 16% Development Charges, $338.5, 42% Debentures, $28.0, 3%

5 Finally, Debt financing is proposed at $28 million or 3%, although it should be noted that this does not include the $43 million recently approved by council to interim finance the Quad Pad in North Park in lieu of development charge revenues. The above graph depicts the Quad Pad financed from development charges as if they were available in the year required. It is anticipated that the $43 million debt will be issued in the fall of 2009 or early 2010 to be repaid from development charges over 10 years. This graph illustrates that 60% of the Capital Forecast is currently driven by Growth, where 40% has been dedicated toward Infrastructure renewal. The following two tables identify the Growth and Non Growth components of the budget by Department and financing source.

8 Growth Related Capital The Growth capital requirements account for $494 million of the total capital budget. These are projects required as a result of growth and consist of various services and programs such as new Recreation, Fire and Library Facilities, Transit Buses, New Parks, and additional Road Infrastructure. In addition, other projects have been categorized as growth as they are driven by the expanding community even though ineligible for development charges. One example would be the Town Hall expansion or the Cultural Facility. The above growth forecast has been developed in conjunction with the Development Charges (DC) study that is currently underway and due to be approved by council summer Each program s budget has been prepared to optimize the maximum allowable services levels affordable through preliminary development charge rates and population growth estimates determined in the study. As a result of the DC study several programs identified new projects in the later years of the forecast that will be required to enhance service as the Town grows. For example, Fire, Library and Roads & Works programs have increased from the forecast presented in the 2008 Budget Forecast. In addition, the Road Infrastructure program has increased primarily due to revised cost estimates used to calculate development charges as well as the introduction of new road development. Other program areas were reduced or financed by non DC sources. For example, based on historic service levels the DC study has shown that the Parks & Recreation program currently has excess capacity as defined in the Development Charge legislation, therefore respective budgets have been reduced and several projects were deferred to the next 10 year period. Similarly, the Transit program greatly exceeds the maximum allowable based on the 10 year average service level cap as per the DC legislation. Thus the program has been scaled back from the program presented in the Transit Master plan as the new Transit Facility can not be constructed until 2012/2013 based on available funding. Where possible Gas Tax funding and Equipment reserves have been used to supplement DC s in order to continue with a phased implementation of the new Transit Service Delivery model. Growth projects are primarily funded by Town wide Development Charges with the balance of funding from reserves and reserve funds, gas tax funds, other revenue and debt. These alternative financing sources have been used to fund the Town s 10% share required for soft services, benefit to existing residents (i.e. renovation of QE Park school), projects in the 10 Year program that are over the maximum allowable service level and projects growth related but ineligible for DC s.

9 Therefore as illustrated in the following graph 69% of the 10 year growth program is currently funded from Development Charges. Gas Tax RF 7.0% Equipment/Other Capital Reserves 3.3% GROWTH CAPITAL FUNDING SOURCES $ Million Debentures 3.9% Local Infrastructure Funding* Other Revenue 0.6% 1.7% General Capital Reserve/Operating Contribution 15.0% implementation of capital asset accounting and asset management tracking, better information will be available to assist staff in further analyzing the Town s infrastructure renewal needs and incorporating them into the forecast and aligning the financing requirements. Nongrowth projects are funded from reserve and reserve fund contributions, property tax via the capital levy or the issuing of debentures NONGROWTH CAPITAL FUNDING SOURCES $ Million Equipment Reserves 14.5% Contribution from Operating 32.5% Capital Reserves 2.1% DC Reserve Funds 68.5% Other RF 6.0% NonGrowth Related Capital Gas Tax RF 13.7% The nongrowth capital budget accounts $329 million of the total capital budget. These projects represent the Infrastructure renewal needs of the Town and consist predominantly of maintenance activities and refurbishment of existing infrastructure. Currently, much of the Town s building infrastructure is fairly new, as these facilities age we will see an increased need to invest in maintenance and refurbishment activities. General Capital Reserve 8.5% Other Revenue 0.3% Local Infrastructure Funding* Debentures 2.7% Various studies and financial models have been utilized to determine the timing of this type of expenditures. However, with the current

10 Capital Forecast Financial Affordability The Capital Forecast incorporates the issuance of a total of $87.5 million in debenture financing. In addition to the $28 million in new tax supported debt required to fund the capital forecast, this includes the $43 million approved to interim finance the Quad Pad in North Park and the $9.5 million to be issued for Pine Glen to be repaid by the Soccer Club as well as debt approved in previous budgets but not yet issued. The following chart shows the total outstanding debt principle by program over the 10 Years. In terms of debt repayment, debt charges will increase from $7.3 million in 2009 peaking at $14.7 million by The following chart shows projected debt charges by program over the 10 year period. Millions $16.0 $14.0 $ Total Projected Debt Charges Millions $90 Total Outstanding Debt by Program $10.0 $8.0 $6.0 $80 $4.0 $70 $2.0 $60 $50 $ Tax Supported Hydro Repayment Harbours Parking Pine Glen Joshua Creek Quad Pad $40 $30 $20 $10 $ Tax Supported Debt Transit Harbours Parking Pine Glen Josuha Creek Quad Pad Although, these debt charges are higher than previous years they are affordable in terms of the Provincial Legislative level of 25 % of owned revenues. However, total debt charges including debt issued on behalf of development or outside sources is above the Town s current policy of 6.25%. A new debt policy which incorporates debt to support Growth and other initiatives with external revenues sources will be

11 presented at the Budget Committee Meeting on May 28th. The next graph illustrates debt charges as a percent of Town owned revenues. The first line represents debt charges that are solely the Town responsibility to be paid by property taxes. The green line represents the current approved policy of 6.25% and the third line is total projected debt charges included debt to be repaid by external sources such as development charges and self supporting programs such as Harbours. Another indication of the affordability of debt is a measurement of total debt principal to reserve balances. Financial institutions consider a prudent debt financing practice of a 1:1 ratio of debt to reserves as a policy. The current debt forecast is within this limit. The following graph illustrates this point. 12.0% Total Debt Charges as a % of Town Owened Revenues 100% 90% Projected Outstanding Debt to Reserves 10.0% 80% 8.0% 70% 60% 6.0% 50% 40% 4.0% 30% 2.0% 20% 10% 0.0% % Debt / Reserves Tax Supported Debt / Reserves Total Tax Supported Debt Total Incl.

12 Capital Impact on Operating Budget The Capital Forecast will have a significant impact on the Operating budget over the next 10 years. Highlights include: Opening of the Quad Pad in 2010/2011 QE Park Renovation complete in 2011/2012, New Fire Station 2012/2013 North Operations Yard in 2012/2013, New Transit Facility in 2014/2015 Transit Bus Expansion/Service Delivery New Library Branch in 2018 The following graph illustrates the projected incremental impact on the operating budget from the capital forecast by program Capital Impact on Operating by Department 5,000,000 4,500,000 4,000,000 3,500,000 3,000,000 2,500,000 2,000,000 1,500,000 1,000, ,000 (500,000) Capital Assets IS & S Fire Department Recreation and Culture Parks and Open Space Library Roads & Works Engineering and Construction Oakville Transit
