City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name (Transition) Class Booking Registration System Project Number 900645 Scope and Justification The continued roll out of this project will establish a completely consolidated IT business application for the purpose of Facility Booking, Program Registration, Membership Tracking and Point of Sale information related to Parks, Recreation and Culture Services, Facilities and Operations. Completion of the Class implementation project will benefit City clients with a complete "one stop shopping" approach to the full menu of programs, facilities and services offered by the above business groups. The completed system empowers public access and registration / booking through all modern points of sale such as the internet, Interactive Voice Response (IVR), all client service centers and all major recreation facilities throughout the new City. The 2003 and onward roll-out will see the implementation of Class at all of the Community Services decentralized facilities, including city-owned facilities operated by community partners. This endeavour is supported by the Points of Service Strategy and the E-Business strategy. Commitments The project and budget was approved by the Ottawa Transition Board on October 10, 2000. Impact on Operations Should this project not proceed to completion, clients will not have full access to the captioned business areas through the various portals identified. Client service staff at all major City facilities will not be able to provide complete registration and booking services to City clients Reference City-wide 304

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Plant Bath Major Rehabilitation Project Number 900738 Scope and Justification Rehabilitation of the aquatic facility will replace the existing Plant Bath (closed) and provide additional meeting and programming space in the community. The Plant Pool was closed in 1997 because it was deemed to be structurally unsound. Therefore, this inner City community made up of a large proportion of lower income, less mobile residents has been without a community pool since the building closure. Building and site programs were completed, in consultation with the community in 1997/98. The existing Plant Bath was declared a heritage building by City Council in 1994. As a result, the new Centre will incorporate the facade of the existing building. This project has been the previous City of Ottawa's first priority building project since 1992. By combining a pool and community programming space under one roof, the new facility will better serve this area with an array of recreational and cultural programs. It is anticipated that a partnership with the community and recreation associations will be formed to program the facility. Commitments Until 2001, budgetary constraints prevented the approval of funds for design or construction. In 2001, City Council approved $1 million for the retention of architectural consultants. A contract has been entered into with the firm of Griffiths Rankin & Cook, in the amount of $628,000 for complete design services for this project. The design process is underway. In 1999 the proposed budget figure for this project was $6.638 million. Due to inflation and drastic increases in construction costs over the past couple of years, the estimated cost for this project for 2002 is $8,685,000. Each additional year that this project is delayed, capital costs will increase proportionately. Impact on Operations The rehabilitation at the Plant Bath will result in annual operating budget impacts: for 2003: $165,000; for 2004: $325,000; for 2005: $335,000; and for 2006: $345,000.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Centrepointe Theatre Expansion Project Number 900741 Scope and Justification Since 1988, Centrepointe Theatre has developed a reputation for being an excellent venue for musical theatre - its seating capacity, orchestra pit and large stage being ideal for these productions. Centrepointe Theatre has also been successful in recruiting a large company of volunteers to work in partnership with city staff. This has encouraged community use by reducing overhead and lowering rental and ticket charges. Both developments have created a huge demand for space. Experience has shown that the existing facility is lacking in a number of critical elements, which are restricting its ability to accommodate performances and audiences. An extension to the existing facility will provide rehearsal space, which can accommodate small performances, access for disabled, and adequate support spaces and storage. The expansion will add 2,630 sq m. to the existing facility. The City has applied to the federal Department of Canadian Heritage Cultural Spaces Canada Program for cultural heritage grants totaling $ 2.175 M for this project. A community based fundraising campaign is to be initiated with a goal of raising $600,000 to allow for the construction of the full program expansion project. Commitments In 2001, $500,000 was approved to undertake the design of this project. The project has been designed in modules, which will allow for it to be funded over two years. Funds for construction will be provided in 2002, and for the equipment and fit up in 2003. The project will not proceed without the identified revenue streams. Impact on Operations Failure to address the Centrepointe Theatre's lack of rehearsal, workshop, storage, volunteer and administrative spaces, combined with inadequate dressing rooms and a small green room, will impede the theatre's development and its potential for revenue generation. An Operating Business Plan has been prepared for the expansion project. The annual impact to the operating budget would begin in 2004 at $140,000. Reference City-wide 308

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Glebe Community Centre Major Rehabilitation Project Number 900742 Scope and Justification The Glebe Community Centre has reached the end of its lifecycle, no longer being economically viable to continue major repairs on all of the building's major components. The project would see a complete renovation, replacement of all components and provision of more appropriate recreation and cultural spaces to meet future programming needs. This project will also enable the building, which now contains several levels with narrow stair-wells, to be fully accessible to users with disabilities. This project has been one of the two top priority projects in the previous City of Ottawa since 1994. Due to budgetary constraints in recent years, implementation of this project has been delayed, causing increased frustration to the residents of this inner city community. The building has been designated as a heritage property under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and, as such, the municipality is obliged to respect the heritage character of the building, both internally and externally. Commitments The firm of Barry J. Hobin & Assoc. was retained and in 1997 a very imaginative and functional design was completed, which both respects the Heritage designation of the building and has received wide approval from the Glebe community. In 2001, City Council approved $400,000 to enter into a contract extension with Barry J. Hobin & Assoc. to complete the working drawings and tender documents for this project. This design work is proceeding. In 1999, this project had a proposed budget of $2.843 million. Due to inflation and drastic increases in construction costs, the estimated budget for this project for 2002 is $3.750 million. Each year that this project is delayed, costs for this project will increase proportionately, beyond the monies already expended. Funds requested in 2002 will initiate the rehabilitation program, with repairs to the copper roof being undertaken and the repointing of the stone foundation. The bulk of the rehabilitation is to occur in 2003. Impact on Operations This project has already been deferred for four years and each year that passes it becomes more expensive to resolve Health and Safety items in order to keep the facility open. In order to keep the building open for another 5 years without renovation, an expenditure of $465,000 is required, funds that would not be retrievable should the renovation not proceed after year 5. The additional annual operating costs would be offset by energy savings. Reference Central 310

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name W. Erskine Johnston Arena Dressing Rooms Project Number 900761 Scope and Justification Completed in 1983, the W. Erskine Johnston Arena has served the residents of the former Township of West Carleton very well despite serious shortcomings in its number and size of dressing rooms. The size and layout of the existing dressing room facilities were reduced and compromised during the design phase of the original project in order to keep within the established budget. The proposed project includes the addition of four new standard sized and equipped dressing rooms to the arena and all required site services. These facilities will allow for more efficient programming and booking of the arena and to better meet the needs of various user groups. The 2002 project estimate of $633,000 is based on a Class D Cost Estimate of a sketch plan showing a 5,000 sq.ft. dressing room addition, and includes all project costs (contingencies, allowances, professional and approval fees, taxes, etc.). The 2001 budget allocation of $400,000 was based on preliminary quantity take-off estimates and did not include all project related costs. As a result, an additional $233,000 is required in order for the project to proceed. Commitments Ottawa City Council approved $400,000 in the 2001 capital budget for the addition of new dressing rooms at W. Erskine Johnston Arena. Impact on Operations Existing dressing rooms and associated facilities are substandard. New, standard dressing room facilities will allow W. Erskine Johnston Arena to meet its full potential in serving current and potential new clients. Reference West District 312

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Fred Barrett Arena Project Number 900829 Scope and Justification In 2001 a project was approved to add a second indoor ice surface to Barrett Arena to serve existing and new residents in the south end of the City. Preliminary planning has been done for the facility, and design is underway using input from community user groups and City staff. Initial investigation indicates that there are several conditions and opportunities that are expected to increase the projected cost of the facility. The soils investigation has identified the presence of undesirable native subsurface materials (shale), which will increase the construction cost of the new foundation. The City's operations staff have further recommended the inclusion of a remote building automation system, which has provided operating efficiencies in other similar municipal facilities. Opportunities to connect the facility to natural gas service for building heating will also be investigated, as the electrical heating system which is used extensively in this area, is not as operationally cost effective. A Class D (preliminary) cost estimate has been prepared to provide a more current cost estimate for this project. Class D estimates are based on the preliminary detailed building program and are developed through consultation with staff and user groups. Commitments In the 2001 capital budget, $4.265M was approved for this project. COUNCIL INTENDS TO COLLECT DEVELOPMENT CHARGES TO PAY THE GROWTH SHARE OF THIS PROJECT FROM FUTURE GROWTH DEVELOPMENT. Impact on Operations Two ice surfaces in one building yield considerable savings in operational costs over single rinks. This new facility will be built for year round use, and therefore will accommodate more people in skating activities. The twin ice surfaces will make it easier for user groups to host tournaments, which are critical to the overall program they offer participants. Operation of the 2nd ice pad is slated to commence in mid 2003. Reference East District 314

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name West District Pool Project Number 900860 Scope and Justification This project was previously identified by the legacy municipality of Kanata and validated as a priority project in the People Services Facility Needs Study. Originally identified as a stand-alone facility, it is currently being evaluated to potentially include other new facility requirements needed to serve the western part of the city. Presently the Kanata area is served by a leisure pool facility (Kanata Leisure Centre), which has been at a program capacity for a number of years. Commitments Funds in the amount of $1.354M were approved in the Department's 2001 capital budget, allowing for the detailing of the building program and design to occur. Due to extreme capital budget pressures and lack of development charge funds being available, the balance of funds required for construction ($4.046M) has been deferred to 2004. COUNCIL INTENDS TO COLLECT DEVELOPMENT CHARGES TO PAY THE GROWTH SHARE OF THIS PROJECT FROM FUTURE GROWTH DEVELOPMENT. Impact on Operations This facility will increase the aquatic experience presently provided at the Kanata Leisure Centre through the development of an additional standard tank pool. It will meet needs based on increased population and the requirement for a pool suitable for 'learn to swim' programs and general recreation. Reference West District 316

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Park Development Project Number 900989 Scope and Justification This City-wide program will provide People Services with the ability to react to the changing needs of the public and the ability to make better use of our parks. The many changes in the demographic and socio-cultural make up of our communities requires People Services to re-design and re-develop parks to meet the needs of our current and future clients. New technologies in park construction, innovative play equipment and park furniture allow for the rejuvenation of many park elements that will better serve our users. The Department will undertake a comprehensive inventory of parks and elements within each park this summer, which will enable park development, lists to be developed based on more in-depth analysis of need. With the data gathered, we will develop criteria in which to prioritize those parks, which require redevelopment. In the meantime the Department will continue to work on those projects, which had been identified as priority in the legacy municipalities. Commitments Prior commitments made by former municipalities as well as identified new requirements. Impact on Operations Should these works not proceed, TUPW operational costs for maintaining these properties may be increased, service levels may be impacted and public use of the parks will be reduced.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Phase 3-Facility Needs Study Project Number 900990 Scope and Justification This final phase of the Facility Needs Study will result in a Facility Development Strategy that will identify new facilities that need to be developed, existing facilities that can be renovated or expanded to meet future needs and facilities that should be decommissioned or put to a different use. This phase will include the finalization of the inventory and gap analysis, including neighborhood facilities and facilities operated by our community partners, a more detailed needs analysis and market assessment, a review of policies underway such as Scheduling, Community Use of Schools etc., a review of the Service Delivery Models and a comprehensive public consultation process. Phase 1 has been completed and provided the planning context for the study, and the current state of municipal assets. Phase 2 at the time of writing was being completed, which includes the prioritization of the legacy projects inherited from the former municipalities and the preparation of high level business plans for those priority building projects. Commitments In 2001, $315,000 was approved via Project #900859 in the Department's budget. With phases 1 & 2 completed or underway, phase 3 is required in order to complete the study. Impact on Operations This work is targeted towards identifying the most effective facility projects to meet community needs within the context of the new City. Business plans will ensure that each initiative is effective in keeping operating costs to a minimum Reference City-wide 320

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Bridlewood Community Centre Project Number 900991 Scope and Justification The Bridlewood community is one of the fastest growing community in the West District. This community does not have any major municipal recreational facilities. Planning for the Bridlewood Community Centre started in 1996, with the preparation of a Feasibility Study, which recommended the construction of a 15,000 sq. ft. community center at the 25 acre Core Park. In 1999, the previous City of Kanata approved agreements to enter into a public-private arrangement with Vestar Ltd. to design-build-operate the new facility on the City's behalf. With amalgamation, a review of the agreements found that it would not be in the City's best interest to proceed on this basis. In July, 2001, City Council approved the termination of the agreements with Vestar Ltd. and to retain architectural consultants to prepare the design and working drawings, under the City's direction, for the new Bridlewood Community Centre. The full design documentation should be completed by March/April, 2002. Commitments Funds have been carried forward for this project, as the result of Development Charges collected. More will be needed to complete the project due to inflation and drastic increases in construction costs, over the past couple of years. The Bridlewood Community has been waiting for this facility since 1996. They were agreeable to the cancellation of the Vestar proposal on the premise that the City proceeds expeditiously on the redesign and implementation of the facility. COUNCIL INTENDS TO COLLECT DEVELOPMENT CHARGES TO PAY THE GROWTH SHARE OF THIS PROJECT FROM FUTURE GROWTH DEVELOPMENT. Impact on Operations Should the funds be approved to carry out construction in 2002, the facility would be ready for use by about June, 2003. It is estimated that maintenance, utilities, life cycle costs would amount to about $145,000 per annum. This does not include programming costs. However, it is expected that the facility would not be staffed full-time, and that most of the activities would be on a cost-recovery basis. Reference West District 322

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Sportsfield Development Program Project Number 900992 Scope and Justification Smart Growth and the reduction of operating costs through improvement of efficiencies is a primary objective of the new City. One of the immediate benefits of amalgamation and the associated creation of the People Services Department is the coordination of sports field delivery in conjunction with pooling of all fields available for programming by the new city. The City will now, better than ever before, be able to offer a suitable inventory of sports fields through the renovation and modification of existing sports fields in association with the delivery of new fields throughout the new city. This program will provide funding for the retrofits, improvements and alterations necessary to respond to demands for the type and level of sports fields required to meet current and future athletic needs. The Department has been approached by various sports group to enter into partnerships in the development of new fields and as a result, this envelope will provide for the City's share of proposed joint projects. Guidelines will be prepared as part of the Sportsfield Strategy to ensure that in return for funding, groups will receive benefits that are fair and equitable. Commitments The various sports groups in the City have discussed the more efficient and effective delivery of sports fields with staff annually. Impact on Operations Improved use of facilities provides for improved operational efficiency. Improved design standards permit sports fields to be more heavily used and requires less shut down periods for turf regeneration. Reference City-wide. Since the Department has received over $1.6M in identified requests, staff will open a dialogue with potential partners to identify projects that will maximize City dollars and target City-only dollars where partners are not available. 324

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Integration of Service - Community Bldgs Project Number 900993 Scope and Justification One of the mandates of the People Services Department is the integration of municipal work and social programs with recreation, culture, child care, public health and libraries. The objective is to be able to offer a full or complimentary range of services at one site or as part of a complex. This program endeavors to provide funding for minor building retrofits, which will permit initiatives directed at integrating services offered by the City. For example, re-designing a space in a community centre and providing computer hook-ups, operators can now offer a range of programs that may enable job seekers with the tools required for job preparation and search, as well as recreational opportunities for children and adults that would not otherwise have access. Commitments The Corporation and the Department have made a commitment to providing complimentary services at all possible locations.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Programming Retrofits Project Number 900994 Scope and Justification This budget envelope is to make improvements to existing recreational and cultural facilities in order to meet changing program and operational requirements, which is an area not dealt with under RPAM's responsibility. The projects that have been identified (in excess of $4.9M) are limited in scope but necessary in order to sustain participation levels and revenue targets in facilities. Some changes are required as a result of the new service delivery model adopted by the People Services Department. An example of a project would be the conversion of a poorly used squash court to a specialized activity space for adult well-being promotion and relaxation therapy. Commitments The capacity to undertake such minor improvements to existing facilities was included in the budgets of most former area municipalities. There is a backlog of work to be undertaken in the coming years as no funds were allocated for this purpose in the former City of Ottawa in the last years of its existence. Impact on Operations These changes will have minimal impact on operating costs, being primarily related to ensuring that facilities are meeting the programming and operational needs of the community. Without these expenditures it will be difficult to meet programming needs and revenue targets. Reference City-wide` 328

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Capital Partnerships Project Number 900995 Scope and Justification This project provides People Services with the ability to enter into joint ventures and partnerships with not-forprofit groups; e.g.: community associations, sports organizations, and other public agencies, to implement major capital projects on a cost-sharing basis. This programme is based on a 50-50 cost share, applied to larger capital projects requiring more than the $7,500 city contribution available under the Minor Capital Partnership Program. Typically, projects that are sponsored are those that enhance or improve city facilities, joint use facilities and where potential partners have demonstrated a need for improved facilities and a desire to assist in the development of these facilities. Some examples of such arrangements include the upgrades to city-owned clubhouses at tennis clubs, joint-use facilities with area School Boards, the development of a canoe club, a new community house etc. Commitments Community groups have requested assistance to implement major capital improvements for community facilities. Impact on Operations By entering partnerships, the City reduces the capital construction costs for renovations and upgrades. Reference City-wide 330

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name East District Pool Project Number 901021 Scope and Justification In 2001, the Facility Needs Study identified this area as a growth area, presently under-serviced in the area of indoor aquatic opportunities. At the time, the Orleans Recreation Complex was identified as the logical site to add a pool tank, and given the existing building could benefit from a major renovation, the project was identified as a priority. A cursory investigation of the site revealed that the site is likely at capacity and may not be able to accommodate the addition. As a result, Orleans Recreation Complex will be investigated as the preferred site but a broader investigation will be undertaken for other compatible sites. Planning dollars are being requested in 2002 in order to detail the project, with facility construction anticipated in 2004. Commitments Public Information sessions were held for the Facility Needs Study, identifying Orleans Recreation Complex as a priority project to add a pool tank. COUNCIL INTENDS TO COLLECT DEVELOPMENT CHARGES TO PAY THE GROWTH SHARE OF THIS PROJECT FROM FUTURE GROWTH DEVELOPMENT. Impact on Operations Both the City and numerous community groups and associations provide recreational and social programs for residents in the east end of the City. They are all experiencing pressure to expand their programs to address the demands of a growing population. The addition of more facilities in the east end will assist in meeting the everexpanding aquatic needs in the area. Reference East District 332

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name West District Ice Pads Project Number 901022 Scope and Justification The need for indoor ice surfaces in the west end of the City was previously identified by the former municipalities of Kanata and West Carleton and was confirmed by the Phase 2 Facility Needs Study as a high priority for the new City of Ottawa. Accessing additional ice time in the west is impossible. Significant ongoing growth in the area means that demand for indoor ice time will increase as the community programs accommodate new residents. Existing demographic studies have shown that the west district will be the fastest growing district in Ottawa. Funds are being requested in 2002 to identify solutions and look for opportunities for combining new indoor ice surfaces with additional multi purpose indoor spaces, which are also in high demand in the west district. These are planning dollars to assist in the program definition, site locations and detailing of capital and operating cost implications. Construction funds will be requested in 2004. Commitments The 2001 Facilities Study identified the need for new ice surfaces to accommodate population growth in the west and has assigned these project a high priority. COUNCIL INTENDS TO COLLECT DEVELOPMENT CHARGES TO PAY THE GROWTH SHARE OF THIS PROJECT FROM FUTURE GROWTH DEVELOPMENT.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Cumberland Ice Pad Project Number 901023 Scope and Justification The need for another indoor ice surface in the east end of the City was identified by the former Municipality of Cumberland and was confirmed by the 2001 Facility Needs Study as a high priority for the new City of Ottawa. Arena usage in the east end is at capacity. Significant ongoing growth in the area means that demand for indoor ice time will increase as the community programs accommodate new residents. The City will undertake planning in 2002 to identify a site and program space requirements for the new ice pad with input from the community and user groups. Preliminary work has begun to determine whether the Ray Friel Centre is a potential site for twinning the existing ice pad. Construction funds will be requested in 2004.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Community Partnership Minor Capital Program - 2002 Project Number 901858 Scope and Justification The Community Partnership Minor Capital Program is an initiative to implement minor capital improvements to parks and facilities on a cost-sharing basis. The program is based on a 50-50 cost share, to a maximum of $7,500 City contribution per facility. This program enables the City to upgrade its recreational assets incrementally, as the community requires, thereby reducing the frequency for capital development projects. As the neighbourhoods change, socially and demographically, the program is able to respond quickly to the changing requirements of the local residents. Community participation in fundraising, planning, and installation of recreational facilities promotes community pride, ownership and stewardship of assets. Commitments Community groups are identifying projects, researching costs and fundraising in anticipation that the cost-sharing program will continue. Impact on Operations Without the availability of such grants, community activism would suffer and the management of recreational assets would depend entirely on the Department's capital budget and project priority list.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Affordable Housing Capital Building Fund Project Number 901001 Scope and Justification Under the Social Housing Reform Act, the City is now the local Service Manager for social housing. Under this legislation, the City also has the authority to establish local housing programs to address community needs. For the duration of the capital funding period, this project will provide capital funds to help address the severe shortage of affordable housing, which exists in the city. Using capital grants, this project will leverage community resources and capacity to increase the supply of affordable housing in the city. Funds for this project will also be instrumental in accessing the new federal housing grant program, given that cost-sharing requirements of the program are unlikely to be assumed by the Provincial government. Funding for this project will also be utilized to further implement the recommendations of the Mayor's Task Force on Public/Private partnerships for affordable housing.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Relocation of Cultural Spaces Project Number 900756 Scope and Justification With the sale of 111 Sussex, the Karsh-Masson Gallery, the Foyer Community Gallery and the City Archives Program and Facilities must be relocated. Maintaining the inventory of arts facilities is a requirement, given the undersupply of cultural facilities overall (Peoples Services Facility Study). The Karsh-Masson Gallery will be allowed to continue at 111 Sussex only until December 2002. Alternatives are being investigated for relocating the Foyer exhibition space in appropriate venues. Costs are for rental and/or retrofitting of new spaces. Furthermore, with the amalgamation of several municipal Corporate Art Collections, storage and conservation facilities have been lost which could put the multi-million dollar Corporate Art Collection at risk. The Collection is comprised of moveable works of art that is circulating throughout city facilities. However, the quantity of storage, handling and conservation space is inadequate, and does not meet established museum standards for storage of art work. One new storage/conservation facility must be found to bring together all the works of the Collection under one roof. Commitments Public Arts Policies Karsh-Masson / Foyer Gallery Policies Impact on Operations The City's archival and art collections are an important part of the City's heritage assets. In addition, the City Archives, the Karsh-Masson Gallery and the Foyer Community Gallery deliver services and programming valued by staff and the community.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Corporate Art Acquisition & Conservation Program Project Number 900804 Scope and Justification The City of Ottawa Corporate Art Collection is one of the only City assets that increases in value over time. The Collection is comprised of works of art in all media that allow for an appreciation and understanding of Ottawa's social, cultural and visual arts history. The maintenance of this Collection through an annual art purchase is a necessary to maintain the value and integrity of the Collection. The City's Corporate Art Collection promotes accessibility and appreciation of the visual arts by the placement of works of art by local artists in municipal and other public buildings. The Collection helps to foster a strong civic identity, as distinguished from the national and international orientation of the work usually presented by national agencies. Commitments Public Art Policies approved by legacy City Councils. Impact on Operations There has been an increased demand for works of art from the Corporate Art Collection, reflected in part by the increase in the number of facilities that can now access this program, including Homes for the Aged, new Satellite Centres, and rural areas. Not acquiring new works damages the integrity and value of the Corporate Art Collection, creates gaps in the cultural history of the City and lessens our ability to respond to the increasing demand. Please note that the amount presented does not include a Conservation budget, which is also essential for the preventative maintenance, repair, conservation and/or restoration of works of art.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Archives/Museums/Arts Collections Project Number 901066 Scope and Justification The City and its community partners house and manage thousands of artifacts, visual arts pieces and archival documents. Due to amalgamation, and for purposes of managing these important collections, it is necessary to merge all of the former municipal inventories to a central database or databases. Former municipal collections management applications (where available) are simply not up to the task, particularly across a distributed network of facilities. Staff, our community partners, and the public would also benefit from software standardization across the network of local heritage and arts institutions. The funding requested is meant to purchase the necessary software, hardware and implementation services. This project can be phased in as follows: 2002 - Requirements definition, procurement, installation, pilot. 2003 - Deployment, training and data entry. This project meets the following priorization criteria: Transition Impact Smart Growth: - Preserve and enhance access to significant local heritage/arts assets Necessary Maintenance: - Legislated and operational requirements to preserve and make accessible civic documents of continuing value to the municipality because they provide the best evidence of municipal functions, business transactions, acquired assets and right, and civic accomplishments; or they contain information which can be used for secondary research purposes by the community at large; - Software is used to manage collections, including carrying out preventive maintenance. Desired: - Public/Community partnership to preserve and manage significant local heritage/arts assets. Commitments This project is a result of amalgamation. Archive documents are required to be kept and made available for access under the municipal act. Impact on Operations Implementation of a collections management system will make it easier to track, manage, and retrieve items for the public, and enhance the management of the collection.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Centre des services Communautaires de Vanier Project Number 901252 Scope and Justification The Centre des services Communautaires de Vanier is requesting the City fund 80% of $336,103 to address the costs of relocating their operations. The relocation cost components are as follows; Renovations $205,975; Cost to relocate 3 satellite sites $8,000; Installation and updating of computers $27,565; Phone system $44,563; Security system $5,000; Furniture $25,000; Moving coordinator and unforeseen $20,000. The current lease at 282 Dupuis Street terminates on May 31, 2002. The members of the Executive Board have reviewed several options related to lease arrangements at the current site as well as other locations. In January, 2002, it was determined that the most cost effective and viable option was to relocate for the following reasons: the current location is too limited to respond to current and future demand; consolidation of different services at one location provides for efficiencies; a permanent location can be established (the Centre has relocated 5 times in the past 20 years); the Centre will be more visible and accessible in the community; programmes and services can be expanded to meet increased demand; increased operating space will facilitate the development of partnerships in service delivery The existing location of the Community Resource Centre at 282 Dupuis Street does not respond to the needs of the community nor the Centre itself in meeting increased demands for services, particularly drop-in and outreach programmes. Currently, in order to attempt to meet the demands within limited space, services are being provided from 3 separate sites. The Executive Board has explored other possible locations including the former Vanier City Hall, Glaude School, Assumption School, Baribeau School and the Racine, Robert and Gauthier Funeral Home. For a variety of reasons, none of these options was feasible. Commitments The Centre des services Communautaires de Vanier has negotiated a ten-year lease with the landlord of 90 Dupuis Street, providing a total square footage of 13,193. Historically, the former Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton funded similar relocation costs, the most recent being the Overbrook-Forbes Community Resource Centre in 2000, on the basis of a 80/20 % funding formula. The Centre des services Communautaires de Vanier will be responsible for financing 20% of the relocation costs with the City of Ottawa funding 80% or $268,882.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Security/Self-Checkout Systems Project Number 900746 Scope and Justification Enabling the public to help themselves is an important aspect of library service and self-checkout is a critical feature as identified in Security/Self-Checkout Systems 2001 capital budget. Using self-checkout units to enable customers to check out their own books and other items will mean that a significant percentage of circulation will be handled this way in high volume locations. This will mean that very busy branches can handle increased circulation with reduced staffing levels (10 FTEs estimated by 2003). In 2002, the Ottawa Public Library will continue implementation of this technology in more of its busy locations. The project involves purchasing security targets for the materials and the corresponding security devices to be placed at library exits, as well as the checkout units themselves. This multi-year project will continue the roll-out of self-checkout systems and security systems over 2002 and 2003 to locations, which meet the necessary criteria. Commitments $500,000 was approved in 2001 for the first phase of this project. Impact on Operations The Library has committed to a savings of $300,000 as a result of implementing self checkout systems. This will also enhance the ability of staff to provide customer service.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Replacement of Main Library Project Number 900749 Scope and Justification A replacement branch for the Main Library will be one of the tiers of library service incorporated in the service delivery model, and essential to the provision of appropriate and adequate library service for the city of Ottawa. It is a key and critical element in the overall service plan, supporting the district and community branches. The service model maximizes opportunities for provision of comprehensive, user-focused services that respond to and anticipate the needs of the residents of the City through a one-library system. As part of the service model, the Main Library meets needs across the entire system, including in-depth reference and information service and citywide services. A well-planned, attractive, properly sized Main Library is fundamental to the goal of providing excellence in library service in an efficient and effective manner. The replacement for the Main Library will be part of a major city cultural complex incorporating possible elements such as a museum, city archives, theatre/performance space, city art gallery, and a complementary private sector component. This will be a multi-year project with a feasibility study for private/public partnerships, consultation, studies and workplans undertaken in 2002 and 2003, and the building project in 2005 and 2006. Commitments On September 10, 2001, the Ottawa Public Library Board approved motions 93-01 and 94-01 requesting that a replacement branch for the current Main Library with a new building in the downtown area be included in the City's ten-year capital forecast, and that a Board New Main Library Committee be struck to begin developing a workplan for the project. Impact on Operations Additional operating costs will be required in 2006 (or when the library opens) for building maintenance, staffing and collections.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Card Technology Project Number 900750 Scope and Justification A) Library Card Replacement (2002) As part of the harmonization of eleven different library systems, which includes a new integrated library system, it is necessary to produce a new library card for the public. In order to maximize its use, the card will also include a magnetic "vend strip" so that it can act as "cash card" to operate the various printing and copying equipment available in the Library. The replacement of all library cards held by current patrons will be phased in throughout 2002 and the cost is estimated at $225,000. In following years, the replacement of cards and cards for new borrowers will be an operating expense. Ongoing replacement of cards and new cards in the following years will be budgeted for in the operating budget. B) Cash Management System (2002) Currently throughout the library there are a number of options for library users to pay for printing and photocopying such as coin operated machines, the "honour system" and users directly paying staff. As more selfoperated equipment becomes an integral part of library service, it is necessary to reduce the amount of staff intervention in the process and to ensure the collection of revenue from such use. A cash card system will achieve this by: providing accurate records of use of the equipment reducing the amount of staff time spent in giving and counting change ensuring all copies made are paid for. C) Smart Card (2003-2005) In conjunction with the City, the Library will begin the exploration and implementation of smart card technology for photocopies, public workstation printing, fees and fine payment, program registration and rentals. A smart card has an embedded chip that can carry enormous amounts of information, be connected directly to customer bank accounts, and offer users more security than current technology. Smart card technology will be available at all 33 library locations. A study will be undertaken in 2003 with implementation of the project to occur in 2004 and 2005. Commitments $240,000 allocated from 2001 Integrated Library System capital project #993234. Impact on Operations Value-added cards, currently in place at some library locations, have drastically reduced staff time in counting coins. Cards with greater built-in intelligence and cash debiting capabilities will further enhance services that provide the public with more choice over activities that require payment, without staff intervention. Use of this technology over Web-based services also improves access and eliminates staff time, which can be reassigned to direct public services. The implementation of cash management systems will result in increased efficiency of staff and ensure collection of fees for copying and printing. Reference 392

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Virtual Library Services Development Project Number 900802 Scope and Justification This multi-year project will provide funding for development of the Ottawa Public Library's new website. Components of the project include: A) Virtual Library Services Development through the Library Website (2002-2006) Development of the Ottawa Public Library website which will be built based on OPL's Vision. It will allow access, including interactive, to holdings, programs, reference and information service, and City and Library e?business. The website will take the Library out into the community and to areas where there may not be a library facility and will provide access 24/7, every day of the year. B) Local Authors' Webpage (2002) Development of an Ottawa Authors part of the website promoting Ottawa's literary heritage. The site will contain information on Ottawa's literary community, both past and present. There will be links to fiction, drama and poetry set in Ottawa, nonfiction relating to Ottawa, the Ottawa Room, and Ottawa's literary legacy. It will be used by the general public, students, and anyone interested in Ottawa's local authors whether they are residents of Ottawa or elsewhere. C) Smart Library The Library website will also be the Library's link to the Smart Library project which is being implemented in 2003. aspects of this capital project include additional modules for the Integrated Library System, e.g. audiovisual booking system, and development of organizational applications to enhance communication and document management in the organization, e.g. expanding licenses for volunteer management software. Commitments $20,000 was approved in 2001 (Project # 900802 - Virtual Library Services and Software). Impact on Operations The Library's new website will facilitate access to user, government, and library related information reflecting the needs of the citizens of Ottawa. Further, it will provide front-end access to the Library's catalogue, ensuring 24/7 service to collections and research tools. Reference 396

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name South Central District Library Project Number 900861 Scope and Justification The South-Central District Library will provide district library services for a geographical area incorporating the catchment's areas of the following community libraries: Alta Vista, Elmvale Acres, Blossom Park, Greely, Metcalfe, Vernon and Osgoode. It will also provide community library services to residents of former south Ottawa and former south Gloucester, acting as a replacement facility for the current Blossom Park Branch. The need for a library to serve the residents of former South Ottawa had been recognized by the former Ottawa Public Library Board, and a reserve fund had been created for this purpose. Funds totaling $400,000 has been allocated in the 2001 budget for studies and preliminary work related to the new facility. The service model for the Ottawa Public Library identifies the need for a district library for the south-central geographical area. Ideally, the library would be part of a multi-use complex, including cultural and other components related to the People Services department. The library would be designed to maximize the use of modern technology, becoming a prototype of a library of the future, and a model for development of other district libraries. Commitments Impact on Operations Additional operating funds in the amount of $550,000 annually will be required in 2004 for building maintenance, staffing and collections.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Bookmobile Replacement Project Number 900973 Scope and Justification The bookmobile that served the former Cumberland Public Library was retired in June 2001 due to its unsafe and unreliable mechanical condition. It could not be repaired given its age and deteriorated condition. The Library Board approved a modified interim schedule for bookmobile service using only one bookmobile until a replacement could be purchased. A staff report outlined the need to harmonize bookmobile service throughout the rural and urban areas of the City. The Library Board approved incorporating a request for funding to replace the former Cumberland bookmobile in the 2002 capital program. The second bookmobile will also act as a mobile training and virtual library service.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Longfields/Davidson Heights Branch Project Number 900976 Scope and Justification A branch for this area was part of the capital budget for the former Nepean Public Library, identified in the strategic plan, and endorsed by the Board. At that time, the projected population of the Longfields/Davidson Heights area in 2005 was to be at least 25,000. The branch will also serve areas to the south, which are to be developed at a later date. The current projection is that the branch will be built at 8,000 sq.ft. with expansion ability to 15,000 sq.ft. built in. It is expected that the branch will be part of a multi-use complex and would be built about 2007. This is a multi-year project - 2006, 2007, 2008. Total estimated cost is $3,500,000.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Library Studies & Plans Project Number 900977 Scope and Justification A) Bayshore Library Services Study (2002) With the removal of municipal boundaries the library needs of the greater-bayshore area (encompassing Crystal Bay, Crystal Beach-Lakeview, Rocky Point, Stonehedge, Bayshore, Belltown, Fairfield Heights, Michelle Heights, Foster Farm, Britannia and Morrison Gardens) need to be assessed. These communities, for the most part, are outside the two km buffer zones of the nearest branches - Carlingwood and Nepean Central. These two branches are also two of the busiest in the City and their resources are stretched. A study in 2002 will help with the planning of required library services. B) Communications Plan/Strategies (2002 to 2005) Each year OPL serves thousands of registered users, receives over 4 million visitors annually and answers millions of questions. Annually, the 33 branches provide more than 3,000 programs attended by 100,000 children, and over 500 events for 10,000 adults, seniors and young people. Sound marketing and communications of these programs and library service is essential to the community's continued support and use of the Library. In 2001 a marketing firm was hired to conduct the first marketing audit and to develop a three-year plan to carry through on the library's goals as well as raise the library's profile in the new City of Ottawa. The plan is strategic in nature (e.g. identifying specific target groups, branding exercises, key messages, etc.).it will be necessary to update the long term plan on a regular, three year cycle. C) Needs Assessment/User Survey (2005) The Needs Assessment/User Survey process will be updated on a three-year cycle. Funds allocated will be used to conduct a needs assessment/user survey, soliciting feedback from users and non-users through focus groups and engaging the Library's Board and staff in visioning exercises. Results will feed into the development of revised strategic agendas for the Ottawa Public Library and planning processes at the People Services/City levels. D) Strategic Planning (2004) The strategic planning process will be updated on a three-year cycle. Funds allocated will be used to develop a three-year strategic agenda for the new Ottawa Public Library Board, based on the outcomes of the needs assessment survey (winter 2002) and the Library Board's 2001 planning retreat. The Ottawa Public Library Strategic Agenda (2002-2005) will also form the basis of the Library's contribution to the People Services Human Services Plan and the City of Ottawa Official Plan. E) Carlingwood & Alta Vista Retrofit Studies (2004) A total of $1.3M had been allocated in the 20-year lifecycle program of the former Ottawa Public Library for renovations/expansions to the Carlingwood and Alta Vista branches. Studies will be undertaken in 2004 to assess the need for renovations/expansions to these branches. Commitments Ottawa Public Library Strategic Planning Process, 2001 ($50,000). Impact on Operations The Needs Assessment/User Survey is critical to enabling effective planning for the implementation of the Library's service delivery model in response to clients' needs. It is also the Library Board's key planning resource. Reference 404

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Library Development Project Number 900978 Scope and Justification Foundation Start-Up The Ottawa Public Library Board approved the principle of the establishment of a Foundation to serve as the fundraising arm of the new Ottawa Public Library. The Foundation will manage all aspects of the Library's fundraising including large-scale fundraising initiatives such as capital campaigns. Preliminary work for the creation of the Foundation is currently underway, including incorporation and drafting of bylaws. It is anticipated that the Foundation will be registered as a charity with Canada Customs by the end of 2002. Volunteer Recognition A total of over 700 volunteers and Friends of the Library provide critical support for, and fundraising activities on behalf of, the Library. The volunteer programs of the former 11 legacy library systems are being coordinated in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness. As part of this coordination, a variety of items such as years-ofservice awards will be purchased for volunteer recognition. One-time funding is required to ensure that all current volunteers can be recognized immediately. Commitments Impact on Operations Once the Foundation is in place, all fundraising costs and related administrative costs, including salaries, will be born by the Foundation thereby reducing the Library's operating budget. Reference The OPL Board has approved in principle the establishment of a Foundation at its Board meeting in September 2001. (Document #01-52, motion #96-01.) 406

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Automated Building Management Plan Project Number 900980 Scope and Justification Former library systems introduced automated buildings management systems and experienced significant cost savings in energy efficiencies. This program will identify which library facilities could automate their mechanical control systems related to heating and air-conditioning, identify related costs and implement automation of systems that result in significant cost savings. Savings through an Automated Building Management Plan were identified in the report of the Library Project Team to the Transition Board and are integral to the OPL achieving its budget reduction targets. Commitments Impact on Operations Significant cost savings in energy efficiencies following implementation.

City of Ottawa Committee PROJECT INFORMATION Health, Recreation & Social Services Project Name Service Enhancements Through Technology Project Number 900982 Scope and Justification A) Internet Management and Booking Systems (2002) : This project will allow the Library to purchase licensed software to manage public Internet access. Technical solutions to provide effective management of public Internet access at all branches will allow the public to book Internet access at any library branch. This will free staff resources for other work and will provide greater service to the public. It will be available in all locations and can be accessed remotely, 24 hours/day, seven days/week. B) Cash Registers (2002 to 2004): As part of the harmonization of service levels it is necessary that there be cash registers in all locations because it is a more cost efficient method to do the necessary tracking of financial transactions; it provides a degree of security that what cash is received is recorded; and it is important that the methods of handling cash are standardized. This three-year project will result in standard City cash registers implemented at all 33 library locations. C) E-Reference Project (2003): The Library offers a multi-faceted reference service, providing information to Library users in person, by telephone, by fax and by e-mail. The E-Reference project in 2003 will add another dimension to this core service. Using interactive technology - voice, video and voice over IP - the E-Reference project will enable the Library to deliver effective and efficient reference service to customers where and when they need it. D) E-Business (2004): This request will support expanded customized development of an e-business area of the Library's Web-site. On-line payment of accounts, e.g. late charges, program registration, user suggestions and donations will be developed, as well as electronic kiosks. This will be a multi-year project to identify appropriate applications consistent with the look and feel of the Library's website. This multi-year project will result in meeting user expectations for library services that are available remotely 24 hours per day, seven days per week. E) Digitization (2004 to 2006): The Library has many issues of approximately 65 community newspapers that are deteriorating with age. The public heavily uses these resources. Many of these publications are unique to the collection of the Ottawa Public Library and no longer available through the original publisher. The digitization project will preserve them, provide search capability and make them more widely available. This is a multi-year project running from 2002 to 2006. F) Info Service Management System (2003): As part of its amalgamation strategy, the Library introduced a centralized telephone information service in January 2001. Named InfoService, it offers citizens one number to call for reference service in English and French. To effectively manage the service, an electronic tracking and reporting system is required to be implemented in 2003 to ensure equitable distribution of incoming calls, provide queue management capabilities and reliable statistical data. 412
2002 Capital Budget Commitments E-Reference Project - As a preliminary step, the Library is currently participating in a National Library of Canada initiative on collaborative digital reference services. E-Business - Implementation of account payment through debit and credit cards occurred at limited locations in 2001. This infrastructure provides the groundwork for the E-business project. Digitization of Community Newspapers - The Library has committed $50,000 in 2001 from the former Ottawa Public Library's sale of its Audubon collection. In 2000, the Public Services Transition Team conducted a preliminary study and recommended the introduction of a management system for InfoService to be implemented when the Integrated Library System was in place. Impact on Operations Will streamline processes and enhance efficiencies. The capacity to deliver interactive e-reference service will strengthen the Ottawa Public Library's capacity as an information service provider. It will expand and enhance services by taking the Library's reference services out into the community. The digitization project will preserve material that is unique to the Ottawa community and provide citizens with enhanced and equitable access to this collection at all 33 locations and on the Library's website. The InfoService Management System will eliminate the current requirement for staff to gather statistics manually and will provide the information necessary to establish clear and defined performance measures for this centralized service.
