FINANCIAL PLAN OVERVIEW Budget Process The three year budget process will follow Policy 08 11 which sets the dates of desired outcomes. Budgeting takes place year round starting with staff gathering information during the summer months. The three year budget will be passed each May when the current tax rate is set. Sept Budget Guidelines Provided by Council Apr/May Final 3 year budget approved by Council Oct/Nov Capital Budget 3 Year Road Plan Apr/May Tax Rate set by Council Nov/Dec Natrual Gas and Municipal Operating Budget March Assessment and Tax Rate Calculations Dec Interim Budget Passed by Council Budget Message The 2014 2016 financial plan is based on the current level of services and projects which have been either started or have been discussed with council. The budget has been prepared by administration with the following guidelines: Basic inflation of 2% per year on all costs except for those which we have more information on. The Capital Plan as presented to Council in December, 2013 with some adjustments. The Three Year Road Plan as presented to Council in December, 2013. No decrease in service levels for any department Changes in Economic Development as proposed by the Regional Community Development Committee. No changes to existing grant programs. 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 6

Budget Recommendations Administration recommends working towards full annual funding of operations, maintenance, growth and asset depletion applying the following measures: Limit the addition of new services or programs. Set funds aside for long term infrastructure needs. Make cuts only to services and programs which would be sustainable. To ensure that the budget contains necessary inflationary increases to maintain services at a consistent level in future years. Pursue new sources of revenue. Apply new revenues to reduce tax rates only when they are assured, sustainable, stable, and incremental. Maintain transparency and accountability by communicating budget information. Future Outlook The County is in a strong financial position to face future challenges. These challenges include the ongoing downloading from the province in the areas of Financial, Protective, Transportation, and Agriculture Services. The cancellation of the Alberta Transportation Bridge Program leaves the County with a financial risk. The bridges on our local roads are reaching 50 years and require substantial repairs or replacement. The financial plan includes some engineering funds to have projects shovel ready should the bridge program once again become available in future years. Increased resource development is putting pressure on our roads. The maintenance of these roads is very costly. The county is working towards solutions so that industry pays the costs of repairs. 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 7

2014 2015 Financial Base Budget The 2015 and 2016 budgets were created using 2014 as the base budget. On average, expenses are allocated between the functions in the following manner. Agriculture Service Board 6% Economic Development 2% FCSS 1% Planning 2% Environmental Services 7% Transportation 52% 2015 Recreation & Cultural Services 4% Legislative 4% Administration 16% Other Government Services 0% Protective Services 6% Expenditures 2015 Legislative 462,966 Administration 1,798,870 Other Government Services 66,614 Protective Services 696,127 Transportation 5,832,384 Environmental Services 748,423 FCSS 125,655 Planning 244,408 Agriculture Service Board 722,903 Economic Development 190,368 Recreation & Cultural Services 409,238 Total Base Budget $11,297,956 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 8

FINANCIAL POSITION Fund Structure The County has three funds, Municipal, Landfill, and Gas. The fund structure is used to ensure that costs for each fund are covered only by revenues belonging to that entity. Municipal Fund. The municipal Fund is the primary fund used to manage the County s financial resources and obligations. All services are provided from this fund except for Landfill and Natural Gas Landfill Fund The Landfill Fund is a separate tax levy which covers all transfer station and waste costs. Gas Fund The Natural Gas Utility is a user pay utility that supplies natural gas to Smoky Lake County and Vilna properties. It is 100% funded through user fees. Smoky Lake County Financial Statements are consolidated and include the accounts of all funds held by the County. The Financial Statements are audited annually and are available to the public in April of the following year. Reserves and Surplus The County keeps reserve funds set aside to provide funding for future expenditures and to ensure sufficient funds are available when required, and where possible to avoid the need to incur debt. On the financial statements, they are referred to as restricted surplus. Unrestricted surplus are surplus funds that were the result of past budget surpluses and may be used for capital or operating purposes as authorized by Council. Although the unrestricted surplus exists on paper, it is not funded by actual cash. As evident in the bar graph below, the reserves have decreased over the past 5 years. A longer term financial plan will assist us to ensure that in the future, reserves do not deplete greatly. 10,000,000 9,000,000 8,000,000 7,000,000 6,000,000 5,000,000 4,000,000 3,000,000 2,000,000 1,000,000 0 7,183,272 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 5,704,937 7 Year Change in Reserves 1,516,521 Capital Reserves General Operating Reserve 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 9

Revenues The main revenue source for Smoky Lake County is taxes. It makes up 60% of the 2014 ongoing revenue. Ongoing revenue equals the budgeted revenue excluding reserve transfers, sale of capital assets, and one time grants. Significant Revenues also come from Natural Gas and Government Transfers (grants) Investment Income 0% Net Municipal Taxes 60% Other Revenues 2% Sales of Goods and Services 4% Government Transfers 13% Investment Income $64,792 Other Revenues $262,076 Sales of Goods and Services $621,643 Government Transfers $1,898,753 Natural Gas $3,051,583 Net Municipal Taxes $8,771,572 Natural Gas 21% Property Tax Property Taxes are the County s main source of revenue. Every property owner must pay property taxes based on the assessed value of the property, unless it is exempted by provincial statue (for example churches, hospitals, etc). Accurate Assessment Group Ltd. is contracted to determine the assessment based on provincial rules and regulations. There are 5 major tax classes. This graph demonstrates how much of the tax revenue is earned from each major class. Provincial Government 1% Farmland & Residential 24% Linear 56% Machinery & Equipment 13% Non Residential 6% 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 12

County Council sets the tax rate in April each year. Bylaw 1266 14 Taxation establishes the 2014 tax rates as summarized below.

If there is not enough increase in assessment from growth and inflation, the tax rate will need to be increased to ensure that enough revenue is earned to cover expenses. Below shows the increase in revenue that have taken place or expect to take place over 5 years.

This includes the sale of natural gas, the odorant program, and the compressed natural gas trailer (CNG). We sell natural gas to county residents, Vilna residents, as well as the Town of Smoky Lake. The odorant and CNG programs provide the department with additional revenue so that the county can supply natural gas at the lowest possible rate. 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 13

Natural gas revenue is highly dependent on a combination of the gas price and the severity of the winter. Gas sales and charges fluctuate, whereas Bulk Odorant Delivery and Compressed Natural Gas revenue are experiencing as steady incline. $250,000 Revenues $200,000 $150,000 $100,000 $50,000 Bulk Odorant Delivery Compressed Natural Gas Revenue Other Revenues $3,000,000 Gas Sale Charges $0 20122013201420152016 $2,500,000 Gas Sale Charges Government Transfers $2,000,000 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Government Transfers consists mainly of grant revenue from the Province of Alberta. The main grants are the Municipal Sustainability Grant which is approximately $1,000,000 per year. Being a rural municipality, the County also receives a Rural Transportation Grant for $447,000. Other annual grants are the Family and Community Social Services Grant, Community Learning Council Grant, etc. In 2014 additional project grants for the construction of truck fills at Bellis and Spedden as well as a Regional Collaboration Grant increase the government transfer value.

Enhancements and Service Levels The financial plan includes service levels consistent with the approved 2014 budget along with the enhancement of the road patching program. In July 2014, Council approved the addition of two positions to ensure that there is a future dedicated road patching crew. Any further enhancements or changes in service levels as a result of the strategic priorities chart will be dealt with in the 2015 2017 financial plan. Ongoing enhancements are budgeted for the roads as per the 2014 2016 road plan. A majority of these enhancements are funded by grants. 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 15

Departments Taxes Gross tax revenue is recorded under the tax function and then the requisitions paid to Alberta School Foundation and the Seniors Foundation. We project that tax revenue will need to increase by 8% in 2015 and 3% in 2016. This may be achieved through a combination of growth resulting in new revenue, assessment increases which have been averaging at 2% 3% over the past few years, and lastly an increase in the tax rate. Legislative The Legislative function includes all costs for Council. It includes their annual salary and expenses. The budget has been increased by 2% each year to cover inflation. Administration The Administration Department includes all legislative, financial, communication, and information technology activities of the organization. The base budget increases by 2% each year for inflation. This budget includes almost $300,000 for the amortization of internet towers. The current capital plan includes the purchase of new Smoky Lake County highway signs at total cost of $65,000. This project will take place in both 2014 and 2015. In 2015 administration has proposed paving the parking lot for $100,000 and work within the office building in 2016 for $35,000. Inter government Services This budget includes joint meetings, promotion, election costs, and grants to individuals and organizations. Under grants to individuals and organizations, the county has committed to providing $20,000 per year to the Smoky Lake Community Spray Park in 2014 and 2015. Protective Services The Protective Services Department includes Waskatenau, Smoky Lake, and Vilna fire departments and Bylaw Services. The average increase on the base budget is 2% per year. $75,000 in 2014, $125,000 in 2015 and $175,000 in 2016 will be transferred to fire reserves each year for the future purchase of emergency vehicles and equipment storage buildings. Budgeted capital purchases for 2014 are $37,500, 2015 $100,500, and 2016 $37,500. 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 16

Transportation The Transportation Department takes care of roads and bridges. The road work is divided into road projects and maintenance. A three year road plan is passed by council each December that defines the planned projects. (Appendix 2). Two positions have been added to 2015 and 2016 budget for a road patching crew. Increasing fuel costs have a substantial impact on the price of contract gravel hauling. These along with increasing oil costs result in an increase to the transportation base budget an average of 6% per year. Along with the base maintenance budget, there is one for bridges, road projects, and capital. Since Alberta Transportation removed the bridge funding program in 2013, Smoky Lake County has been doing repairs only as necessary. The budget includes approximately $175,000 per year until new funding becomes available. Road projects are currently funded using the Municipal Sustainability Initiative Grant as well as Federal Gas Tax Grant. The Capital budget for 2015 and 2016 reflects the replacement of current equipment and vehicles. In 2014 along with equipment replacement, the County is building a new storage facility for road salt. Environmental Services The Environmental Services department looks after the Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Waste operations. Smoky Lake County provides water distribution to residents in Warspite and limited distribution in Spedden. As well there are truck fill stations located at Waskatenau, Warspite, Smoky Lake, Bellis, Vilna, and Spedden. Costs for the truck fills are fairly stable and increase by inflation. Revenues have been increasing each year. This trend is expected to continue. New capital projects include a water vacuum trailer in 2015. Sewer services are provided in Warspite and Bellis. Residents in Warspite are charged a monthly fee. In Bellis the sewer costs are covered through a frontage tax levied to Bellis property owners. We expect to replace the sewer valve cluster in Bellis in 2016 The County is a member of the Evergreen Waste Management System. The main transfer sites are located at Waskatenau, Smoky Lake, Bellis, Spedden, and Vilna. Small sites have been established throughout the county for convenience. Waste is funded from user fees and landfill tax revenue. If there are surplus funds, they will be transferred to the landfill reserve. Capital projects include a new cell at the Smoky Lake Transfer Site in 2015. 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 17

Family and Community Social Services (FCSS) Smoky Lake County uses the FCSS funding to run a Family School Liaison Program through the schools. The grant is expected to remain the same. $19,439 of County funds is contributed to go to organizations who qualify under FCSS. Planning The Planning and Development Department manages land use, development permits, subdivisions and other land related services. The base budget is expected to increase by the projected inflation. This budget includes an annual allocation towards area structure plans. Agriculture Service Board (ASB) The ASB delivers programming to the agricultural community such as roadside mowing and spraying, weed inspections, and pest surveillance. The program is partially funded through a provincial grant. The budget remains consistent. Costs are expected to increase with inflation, and existing equipment will be replaced as per the capital budget. Economic Development Economic Development is currently experiencing a process of change. The municipalities in the region are working together to establish a regional economic development program. The budget for 2014 2016 includes the entire cost of the program, offset by the funds that we will receive from the Town of Smoky Lake, Village of Vilna, and Village of Waskatenau. The budget also includes funding towards doctor retention and county specific economic development. 2014 2016 Financial Plan Smoky Lake County Page 18
