February 14, 2001 Councillor Wayne Campbell Chair, Corporate Services Committee City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Dear Councillor Campbell, This letter is in follow-up to a series of conversations we have had with John MacDonald and Ken Burden concerning the outstanding debt the YMCA has with the City of Niagara Falls and our plan to re-pay it. Upon the recommendation of City staff, my purpose herein is to briefly outline this situation and a recommended course of action. The background of this matter is as follows: · The YMCA currently owes the City of Niagara Falls the principal sum of $119,000. This has been significantly reduced from a high of $285,000 in 1991. · The YMCA has an agreement with the City to pay this amount in full over three instalments: 1999: $30,000; 2000: $60,000; 2001:$59,000 · The 1999 instalment was paid. The 2000 instalment of $60,000 is currently due. It is the absolute commitment of the YMCA to pay this amount in full. The purpose of this letter is to formally request that the Corporate Service Committee consider a change to the terms of repayment in consideration of the YMCA's current issues and priorities. In summary, these are as follows: The YMCA is committed to providing the highest quality services to its members. While we have experienced growth over recent years, our operating margins are extremely tight due to the cost of maintaining an aging facility. Significant capital investment as a means to generate new growth has occurred over recent years and has reached its full potential. Our limited resources prevent us from doing more than ensuring the safety, cleaning, maintenance and program standards are met for our membership outside of our commitment to establishing a new YMCA facility in Niagara Falls. The new facility initiative in collaboration with the City and Boy's and Girl's Club is the focus of our revitalization efforts. Currently we are putting substantial resources into this effort and see it as the key strategic priority of our Association for the next three to four years. In 2000/2001 our Association expects to invest over $70,000 in hard costs towards this effort, which in the months to come, we expect to gro~v significantly. YMCA Niagara Falls 4261 Fourth Avenue, Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 4NI tel 905 356-8760 fax 905 356-8501 www. niagarafallsymca.o~g YMCA Charitable Number 10777 3343 RR0001 Based on these facts, we respectfully request that the City considers and approves a change in our re-payment schedule. In consultation with City staff, we recommend the following scenario: · That repayment of the outstanding debt of $ l 19,000 is suspended until September 2004 which corresponds to the planned opening of the new community centre. · That during this period, the YMCA incurs interest costs on the principal amount of the debt, which the YMCA agrees to pay annually to the City. It is our understanding that we will be required to go before Committee with this request. We are pleased to do this and would welcome any further questions or clarification by yourself or City staff. The City of Niagara Falls has been a great service partner and very patient with us on this matter. We appreciate the support and look forward to strengthening our service to the community thorough ongoing collaboration. Yours truly, Chief Executive Officer Cc~ Dave Jex, Chair, YMCA Board of Directors John McDonald, City of Niagara Falls Joe Mclaughlin, General Manager City of Niagara Falls, C/o Mr. Wayne Thomson, Niagara Falls, Ontario Dear Sir, Greetings! Febmary 2001 My name is Rupa Parakh and I am program that I am presently involved with and how I believe that our city can get involved. Because I was born in Fort Erie and raised in Niagara Falls, I feel a part of two small, supportive local communities. Further, I have been ve~ fortunate in my opportunities thus far and I would l/kc to extend these privileges to help others in our own and other communities. I am currently a fourth year student in the Arts and Sciences Program at McMaster University doing a combined degree in Psychology. I am planning to pursue graduate studies in Health Psychology in order to help others and learn more about critical issues that affect the well being of citizens in oar community. I have been active in various clubs and organizations for many years from which I have developed critical skills that are useful in dealing with others. While in high school at A.N. Myer Secondary, I was actively involved with clubs such as global awareness, model United Nations, and debating. I participated in Kiwanis Music festivals, Optimist Club public speaking competitions and volunteered for many years with the residents at Dorchester Manor Retirement Home. At university, I have provided acadernic counselling and tutoring for students and delivered presentations and public speeches on various topics from academic success to social justice. As well, I am involved with clubs such as the Student International Health Initiative (SIHI) and World University Service of Canada (WUSC), clubs that promotes education and action about development issues. From all of these experiences, I have gained skills and experience, but I have also given back to a number of groups through my actions. Now, I have received the chance to help others in a new and exciting way. I have been accepted to a twelve-month program with Youth Challenge International (YCI). Th/s summer, I will be volunteering amongst small communities in Guyana (South America) for ten weeks. Like Canada, Guyana is structured so that the majority of the population is concentrated in and around one area, in this case the capital Georgetown. Thus, nidiv/duals living in the other, more inaccessible parts of Guyana are often isolat .ed from proper health care, education and communication. Youth Challenge is a non-profit organization that promotes personal, community and global development wtdle offering youth like myself, a chance to develop leadership skills, global education and hands-on problem solving experience. YCI was built-up fi.om the experiences of youth who had participated in programs such as Britain's Operation Drake (1978) and Operation Raleigh (1984). Those projects were vma~i.a~ut ~°~r~sv~de~°~wi~'~a~ ~OoP~PO~_r~_~' to lear~,, a .bot~t s,c!.e.nce, commumty service, and adventure in ~ of,,,,~ ,,,,,,,~. ,~ ~ ~o~, ~anaman youm sturtea tins orgamzat~on (YCI) and applied for funding fi.om the Canadian International Development Agency and other private and public sector donors. YCI's mission is much less adventurous than its predecessors, however, it is equally as challenging: "b ' ' mlding the skills, experiences and confidence of young people and communities to effect positive social change. The program is set up as four Challenges. The First is a rigorous outdoor Selection Da adaptability, flexibility and resourcefulness I have passed that and th,~ ~- ..... y ~,t t~ts · - ...... ~ ttuv~ now enterea me ~econd Challenge: the preparation stage. Since YCI iS prim ,ari~ volunteer based organ/zation, 'Challengers' (accepted youth) are required to raise $3,450 pins the cost of airfare to cover their field project costs, food and board. In addition, we must acquire project-related skills and equipment such as CPR, sw/mming proficiency, physical endurance, first aid knowledge, and at thnes, language requirements. During the Third Challenge, the overseas placement, Challengers hve and work with small teams of volunteers from other countries to complete worthwhile health, construction and environmental projects that the local community has asked for. Past projects include reforestation efforts (Carara ecological reserve in Costa Rica), building roads and bridges to isolated towns, aiding doctors in performing cataract surgery, giving presentations on HIV/A1DS and other health issues, and teaching in schools. The Fourth Challenge helps transform my experiences abroad into positive civic and social action at home. I am requixed to complete at least 100 hours of community service either by imtiating or assisting with programs in the community. Past Challengers have spent this time in a variety of ways such as starting shelters for homeless kids in Vancouver, helping out with local charities and community groups and giving presentations or talks on subjects such as development and the impact of globalization on communities. As a youth, I realize the importance of providing opportunities that allow individuals to grow and reach their potential. However, due to limited opportunities and accessibility for many people in the world, sometimes even basic needs such as clean water and proper health care cannot be met. I know that one small project cannot change things tremendously, but if we all do a small part, hopefully we can imtiate change for the future. Recently, the fandraising efforts for the devastating earthquakes that have hit India and El Salvadgr have shown the power that a community can yield if it pulls together to help others. Hopefully, it is clear that everyone who is involved with this program can benefit from it whether they are the participants, people in the villages where we go, or local.sponsors who help make this a reality. Community support can make it possible for youth like myself to dare to go beyond, strengthen this community spkit globally and make a different. In a world where it is becoming increasingly common to work only for money or self-interest and where volunteerism is steadily declining, I pray that more people, and especially youth, can learn the skills and gain the confidence to collectively take charge of our future. I sincerely hope that the city will consider sponsoring me Ired if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (905) 374-3067. Ideally I would love to come and speak with your office in person (either before or after the project) and would welcome any oppommity you present. I have included some information on the project and YCI itself for your benefit. Please note that any donations should be made out to Youth Challenge International and that contributions over $25 are tax deductible. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Burden Director Members: Re: F-2001-22 - 2001 General Purposes Budget RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Services Committee approve the 2001 General Purposes Budget. BACKGROUND: The Chief Administrative Officer directed Staff to prepare the 2001 General Purposes Budget in compliance with City Council's goal "to make every effort to maintain current levels of service without placing an increased burden on the City's Taxpayers". Staff has cooperatively prepared an operating plan for 2001 that will restrain expenses, increase non-levied revenues, and match taxation revenues to tax-supported services. Staff has prepared a number of operation assumptions to address the several challenges in preparing the 2001 Budget. These assumptions are the building blocks upon which the Budget has been built. Addendum 1 is a summary of the 2001 Budget. The tab sections following provide more information for Revenues and Expenses. REVENUES TAXATION: ASSESSMENT AND TAXATION Since 1998, taxation reform has been implemented through several legislation measures. Along with the original Fair Municipal Finance Act, the Province has passed a number of successive Acts to address the impacts of the reform. Also, the Minister of Finance has issued several regulations to instruct municipalities how to use the new legislation. During the past three years, current value assessment of properties has been introduced and supplemented via the provincially mandated program to cap assessment increases. For 2001, the current value assessment has been updated to a valuation date of June 30, 1999 (previous valuation as of June 30, 1996). Staff has prepared an analysis (see attachment "B") of the assessment roll for 2001 in comparison to the assessment roll for March 19, 2001 - 2 - F-2001-22 the previous year. The overall increase of 12.1% directly relates to the updating of the market values for each of the properties in all of the assessment classes and includes an increase (2.3%) for new assessment. The analysis shows the change in value and in percent for each assessment class. On December 4, 2000, the provincial government passed the "Continued Protection for Property Taxpayers Act" to complete the phase-in of current value assessment. The key elements of the legislation include: - continuing the capping program for Multi-Residential, Commercial and Industrial classes, - implementing the program on an upper tier basis, - eliminating the frozen assessment listing as a basis for calculating maximum taxes, - protecting ratepayers from excessive increases no matter how they were caused, - introducing greater local flexibility to tailor the program to local circumstances, - re-working the rebate program to compliment the tax mitigation program, and - having a well-designed communications and training program. Staffhas prepared the taxation revenue using the November 2000 Assessment Roll for the 2001 taxation year which includes the current value assessment as of June 30, 1999. Staff has used the 1998 Regional tax policy which will necessarily be revised to accommodate the new tax legislation and regulations coming from the province. Staff has also used the Regional theoretical tax ratios to calculate the 2001 total levy for both General and Urban Service Area taxation. The General taxation portion of the total revenue is $27,394,000; approximately $2,938,000 more than 2000. The Urban Service Area taxation portion is $4,141,000; approximately $459,000 more than 2000. The total increase of approximately 12.1% includes tax revenue from assessment growth and a levy increase of $1.9 million (which represents a 6.5% increase in the City's portion of the taxpayers' 2001 Property Tax Billing). This approach will approximate the Council's objective to match the City's taxation revenues to the costs of the tax-supported services. TAXATION: PENALTIES AND INTEREST Effective July I, 1998, the Committee approved a one and one-quarter percent (1-1/4%) per month for the penalty and interest rates. Staffhas estimated a decrease ($270,000) in this revenue due to improved collection of tax arrears and improved economic conditions for taxpayers. Staff will continue to place a high priority on collection of taxes with consideration for taxpayers in payment arrangements. PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF TAXATION Provincial regulations govern the weighted sharing of payment in lieu of taxes paid to municipalities for tax exempt properties. The City's revenue has been conservatively calculated to reflect the migration of revenues from the lower tier to the upper tier. This migration is caused when the Region's tax rate is greater than the City's tax rate. Staff has not included any adjustment to the sharing relationship for 2001. March 19, 2001 - 3 - F-200~-22 Staff has included the new Compensation payment from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, OLGC, as per the Reciprocal agreement between the City and the OLGC. These payments are to be received monthly and total $2,600,000 per year. GRANTS AND SUBSIDIES Local Services Realignment included the allocation of the Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF), a provincial grant to assist municipalities with the costs of transferred responsibilities. The City's allocation of $1,395,000 from the CRF is included for 2001. Staffanticipates the successful award of a one-time grant from Ontario Power Generation Co. (formerly a part of Ontario Hydro). However, due to the restructuring of the company and the deregulation of the electricity market, the grant may not be received in the year 2001. Staff has not included the grant due to the continuing uncertainty of its issuance. LICENCES, PERMITS, USER CHARGES, FEES, RENTALS Staff has investigated and prepared reports for the Council's consideration over the past several months. Where applicable, the approved increases to the Schedule of Fees for Services have been incorporated in the various revenue sources. For example, the increased rates for the 2000/2001 arenas' season are included. The most significant revenue impact will be the receipt of building permit fees relevant to the new Casino complex. Staff has conservatively estimated revenues of $2,160,000 over three years, starting in the summer of 2001. Due io the closure of the Montrose Landfill site, the City will no longer receive landfill tipping fees ($1,500,000 for 2000). City Council has approved a new user fee for waste management costs being billed to the City. Much like the water and sewer treatment services, the Region is now fully responsible for garbage and hazardous waste collection, disposal, and recycling. The new waste management fee is an annual charge passed on to the City's ratepayers who directly benefit from this Regional service. The total fees collected will be applied directly to paying the estimated costs of $4,059,600. INVESTMENT INTEREST The Committee has approved the City of Niagara Falls - Revenue Fund Investment Policy. Staff has included an increase of $125,000 in interest revenue through improved cash management and temporary investment. LAND SALES Staffhas included the anticipated proceeds of two land sales. A road allowance property should provide approximately $165,000 and a surplus lot property is expected to net $50,000. March 19, 2001 - 4 - F-2001-22 RESERVE FUNDS, RESERVES AND SURPLUS Staffhas included $200,000 for the purchase of two new Transit buses for Niagara Falls Transit from the City's Capital/Operating reserve fund. During 1999, the Niagara Falls Hydro paid out an outstanding debenture to the City's reserve funds. Staff has included $141,000 of that reserve fund to pay for the 2001 principal and interest payment. During 2000, the Niagara Falls Hydro was converted to an incorporated company. This conversion will provide new revenues to the City as owner of this company. However, due to delays in the deregulation of the electricity market and the uncertainty of provincial regulations, Staff has not included the potential revenue of $2,600,000. Staff has included contributions of reserves to offset specific expenses; for workplace safety insurance ($142,000), and benefits premium ($73,000). SUNDRY REVENUE As per the direction of the Regional Treasurer, Staffhas included a new revenue from the Provincial Offences Act (POA) Inter-Municipal Agreement. The agreement, approved in May 2000, provides a sharing of net revenue with the Region and the other Niagara municipalities. The City's share is approximately 9.6% of the POA revenues to be distributed. REVENUE SUMMARY Staff has examined all sources of revenue to maximize fimding without placing an increased burden on the City's Taxpayers. Despite the permanent loss of landfill tipping fees, total Revenue has increased from the significant gains realized from positive economic factors: taxation/assessment $1.5 million, compensatory revenues from the OLGC, Casino Building Permit fees, other Licence/Permit fees, Arena rentals, Land Sales and the new POA revenues. Taxation Revenue has been further increased by $1.9 million to match the additional costs of tax-supported services. EXPENSES SALARIES, WAGES AND BENEFITS During 1999, a three-year agreement was negotiated and ratified with the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 133. Staffhas included the approved 2001 salary/wage rates in the 2001 Budget. The total increase for CUPE and non-union salaries and wages is approximately $583,000. Staff has included a provision for additional complement to address the increasing demand for City services. Staff has also included a provision for contractual agreement with The Niagara Falls Professional Fire Fighters' Association which is presently without a contract for 1999, 2000 and 2001. March 19, 2001 - 5 - F-2001-22 Staffhas examined the costs for employee benefit plans and statutory contributions and has adjusted the costs in the 2001 Budget. Premium costs for benefit plans have increased effective September 1, 2000 for a one-year period. Canada Pension Plan contributions and Employment Insurance contributions have increased from rate increments and salary/wage adjustments. Staff has not included OMERS pension contributions as the contribution holiday will extend to December 31, 2001. Workplace Safety Insurance has significantly increased in costs due to the startup of a new reserve fund for the estimated actuarial liability and the 31% increase in WSIB Administration fees. Staff estimates a total increase of $474,000 for all of the employee benefit costs. MATERIALS AND SERVICES Staffhas included a general inflation rate increase of three pement for the 2001 costs for materials and services. Energy expenses were significantlyincreased (eg. natural gas 16%; gasoline and diesel fuel 37%) according to each of the relevant percent increases. General Insurance expense decreased for the 2001 policy tenn. However, City Council approved additional policy coverage which effectively used the reduction in premiums. Vehicle purchases for 2001 include $675,000 for fleet vehicles and a $250,000 contribution toward a new Fire Track. Waste Management services are estimated to increase by 19.9% due to the loss of the Montrose Landfill and that the Region is now fully responsible for garbage and hazardous waste collection, disposal, and recycling. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION During 2001, Staff expects to use more long-term financing $3,980,000 ($2,626,000 for 2000) to assist the total operating contribution $2,140,000 ($1,652,000 for 2000) to the Capital Fund. Debenture borrowing will affect future debt obligations, however, the immediate financing will provide the necessary funding for priority capital projects. DEBENTURE DEBTREPAYMENT At December 31, 2000, the total debt outstanding was $4,114,730. During 2001, the contractual repayment of $2,034,620 includes a reduction of $1,694,340 in principal and an interest charge of $340,280. The new borrowings for 2000 Capital expenses will add approximately $398,000 annually to debt repayment. MUNICIPAL GRANTS TO AGENCIES, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS During November 2000, the Committee received several requests fi:om Agencies, Boards and Commissions for continued funding. Staffhas included moist of these requests in the 2001 Budget. Staffreminds the Committee that the requests were previously referred to "final budget deliberations". The requests are listed under this section and total $6,494,000; a net increase of $199,800 fi.om 2000. March 19, 2001 - 6 - F-2001-22 EXPENSE SUMMARY Staff has examined all expenses to minimize costs without reducing services. Total Expense has increased from the realistic forecasts of inflationary and contractual increases ($2.1 million), additional capital contributions ($844,000), new debenture debt repayment ($398,000) and increases ($199,800) for Municipal Grants. CONCLUSION The Corporate Services Committee's approval of the 2001 General Purposes Budget is appreciated.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of a Capital Projects Budget is to provide descriptive details of the Capital Projects for the current budget year and to provide knformation for future Capital Projects. A Capital Projects Budget also indicates the funding requirements and the sources of funds from the General Purposes, Municipal Utility, and Parking Budgets. Capital Contribution and Debt Management: For a guidelines overview of the 2001 to 2005 Capital Projects Budget, Schedule "A" provides the following: Guidelines from the Capital Financing and Debt Management Policy Comparison of Guidelines to the Capital Projects Budget The criteria for calculating the guidelines are indicated in the upper section of the schedule and a comparison to the Capital Projects Budget is reported in the lower section. During 2001, the City will be committed to the payment of $2.3 million for Debt repayment. This amount, when compared to the Debt Repayment Limit of $8.3 million, indicates that the City has a considerable capacity to assume additional Debt financing. The Capital Projects Budget will require debt financing in each of the five years. However, the comparison shows that the City will not exceed the debt repayment limit in each of those years. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerk's Finance Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning & Development March 19, 2001 - 2 - F-2001-23 The General Purposes contribution to the Capital Projects Budget does exceed the 2001 maximum guideline by $188,000. However, in each of the following years the contribution remains constant and results in a favourable difference from the guideline maximum. Capital Projects Budget Summary: For the 2001-2005 Capital Projects Budget, Schedule "B" (page 1) provides the overview for Project Costs by Department and the source of the Project funding. The five-year Budget was prepared on the basis that projects would be funded by the General Purposes Budget in the amount of $10.37 million; $46.1 million from Other Funds;S33.9 from New Borrowing. Details of the five-year budget are provided for each department for the Committee's reference (Schedule B, pages 2-9). Annually, Staff reviews and prioritizes the list of Capital Projects and presents them to the Committee in the form of a Capital Projects Budget. Once the financing level has been determined for the current year and estimates prepared for the next four years, then projects are allocated to the year when estimated fimding will be available. This review is repeated each year and, as priorities and funding dictate, projects are undertaken. This process provides the Committee with a yearly opportunity to review and approve the Capital Projects Budget.

BACKGROUND: During the past year, a number of changes were implemented that impact the 2001 Municipal Utility Budget. The majority of the water meter installation program was completed; the Water By-law was updated and now incorporates a water-use billing system; a report on the water infrastructure indicated that considerable capital improvement would be needed to maintain the water distribution system and the transfer of meter reading, water/sewer billing and receipting services to Niagara Falls Hydro was initiated. The 2001 Municipal Utility Budget includes the following: · Adequate funding to maintain the budget at the same total expenditure as 2000. · A reduction in Administration cost ($407,400) due to the transfer of service to Niagara Falls Hydro. · The transfer of meter reading, water/sewer billing and receipting services to Niagara Falls Hydro. · An increase in the discount offered ($495,000) to promote prompt payment, (total will be 5 % for 2001). · A reduction of Regional Costs ($1,069,600) for water purchases and sewage treatment due to reduced water consumption. · An increase in Capital Funding ($685,000) to improve water and sewer infrastructure. I~orking Together to Serve Our Community Clerk's Finance · Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning & Development March 19, 2001 - 2 - 1:-200'1-24 · Debt Charges for payment of principal and interest on debenture and short-term debt. · Water/Sewer rates and fees per the user-based billing system (see pages 9 to 11). The recommendation of the Municipal Utility Budget to City Council by the Corporate Services Committee would be appreciated. An amendment to By-law 2000-268 has been prepared for Council's adoption should the Municipal Utility Budget be approved. Prepared by: T.W. Smith Manager of Revenue Recommended by: K.E.

BACKGROUND: The Parking Operating Budget continues to be self sustaining, however, revenues are below the forecasted expectations of last years budget projections. This decrease is attributable to increased competition with private parking lot owners, the removal of 100 on-street parking meters in the Downtown, free parking in some of the Municipal Parking Lots, 50% revenue sharing in Municipal Parking Lot # 18 (Kitchener Street) and the need to adjust our parking rates. 2001 Capitai Parking Project~ The Parking Reserve Fund was established as a self sustaining fund, in which, expenditures are offset by revenues. The fund is dedicated to the maintenance and rehabilitation of parking facilities (on-street meters and off-street parking lots), the purchase of land for the establishment of new parking lots and the construction of major parking facilities. The system is a true user pay system in which only those who use the parking facilities pay, meaning, the general taxpayer does not contribute to the fund in any way. The capital parking project strategies are outlined in the form of the three year funding allocation table illustrated below. Line one illustrates the projected fund balance at the beginning of each year. Line two illustrates the projected revenues that will be realized each year. A total of approximately $785,000.00 will be required over the next three years to rehabilitate (reconstruct) existing lots, therefore, line three illustrates the Capital Works to be undertaken.
