Alderman Wayne Campbell, Chair
and Members of the Corporate Services Committee
City of Niagara Falls
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I enclose the 2001 Proposed Operating Budget of the Niagara Falls Public
Library Board.
The Board respectfully requests a City of Niagara Falls Appropriation of
$2,271,342 for the operation of the public library in 2001.
Any funding in excess of $2,271,342 approved by City Council for 2001
would be used for additional books and audiovisual materials for children
and adults. As the columns on the next page show, during the 1990s the
Niagara Falls Public Library fell behind other Ontario public libraries with
respect to expenditures on books, magazines, videotapes, sound recordings
and audio ("talking") books. The gap was narrowed in 1998 and has
hopefully been eliminated since then. However preliminary data for the
2000 publishing year show that, once again, book prices are increasing at
or above inflation. Consequently the same level of expenditure in the book
budget results in fewer books purchased. We still need to strengthen the
library collections with new books and other materials. The depth of our
library collections has been weakened during the last decade and they
include too many older materials. We need more and newer books and
other materials covering more subjects for children, adults and seniors.
In order to maintain a contemporary library collection, additional non-print
materials are required. These include audio ("talking") books especially
for the disabled and "read-along" literacy audio cassettes; videotapes
which replaced our traditional 16mm film collection many years ago and
provide a visual wealth of educational and informational subjects; compact
discs to reflect our musical heritage; and audio cassettes for children's
stories, songs and music. The new collections of videotapes and audio
("talking") books just started at Chippawa and Stamford Branches have
been well received as has the new collection of CD-ROMs at the Victoria
Avenue Library.

1999 n/a $3.56
2000 n/a $4.08 est.
2001 n/a $3.94 est.
After our Ontario Base Grant was reduced 40% to $130,258 in 1996/1997,
it has remained frozen at that level. There has been no announcement as
yet from the Government of Ontario of any changes to our funding in 2001
and no changes have been budgeted.
Any further funding reductions will once again jeopardize our hours of
operation and staffing levels, our book and non-print expenditures and may
again increase user fees and reduce service levels.
Another concern for the Board is the anticipated significant increase in the
cost of public utilities. The enclosed 2001 budget includes increases of
16% for natural gas, 8% for hydro and 3% for water. The Board believes
that this is the minimum to budget.
,,
As we presented to City Council on October 16t~, at the start of Public
Library Week, special funding was received in 2000 to improved our
automated and electronic services. Funds were received through the
Ontario Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation, the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation and from the Community .Access Program for
urban populations exceeding 50,000.
In our democratic country, public libraries help ensure that the
"information poor" can have equal opportunity with the "information rich"
in order to compete and advance in an increasingly complex society.
Regardless of your economic, social or educational background, the public
library helps minimize the "digital divide" in our conununity.

Public libraries are important participants in helping to create and maintain
a "smart" community. We have a vision of the future that involves the use
of information and communication technologies in new and innovative
ways to empower residents who do not have similar access to Intemet-
based information on a regular, convenient or affordable basis. Libraries
play a role in better education and training, health care, growing '
businesses and disseminating government information.
The Niagara Falls Public Library has finally caught up to other Ontario
libraries with an automated catalogue and services and with Internet and
CD-ROM workstations for public use at all three libraries. We continue to
have trained and knowledgeable staff assisting the public in our user-
friendly facilities with convenient hours of operation.
In the future not only will our Niagara Falls Local History Collection be
completely catalogued, but significant items will be sc~mned, digitized and
made available throughout the world on our new library web site which
will help promote our community's rich history and development. Our
subscriptions to electronic research databases will also be accessible on the
library's web site, 24 hours per day, seven days a week, for more than
30,000 active, registered library members who will simply enter online
their library card number to use these databases. Without a doubt, public
libraries continue to be "content-providers" for any member of our
community.
We ask for your support in 2001 to continue our efforts to provide a
contemporary public library service to our community.
The following is our Report on Reserve Funds as of December 31, 1999:
Automation Reserve $370,572; Cumulative Sick Leave Reserve $164;
Gi~Special Projects Reserve $234,276; Property Maintenance Reserve
$78,485; Development Charges Reserve $241 (as of Sept. 30, 1999

RE:
Financial Estimates 2000 - Budget 2001
October 20, 2000
Niagara Transit continues to face trying circumstances and
challenges, both fiscally and operationally. As a result of major increases in
diesel fuel prices, Niagara Transit will be over budget in 2000. Overall,
revenues increased, but, not enough to offset the soaring fuel prices. On a
positive note, regular transit ridership is up one and one-half percent, due in
part, to service improvements. The cost per capita (1999) t~ the taxpayers of
Niagara Falls, for municipal transit was $11.53 compared 1:o the provincial
average of $33.42. These statistics indicate that public transit has not been an
undue burden to the taxpayers of the city.
Included in the 2001 budget is a 20-cent fare increase (except child
fare), to partially offset projected escalating fuel costs and wage adjustments.
Our current fare structure is below the provincial average (see fare survey
attached).
Outlined below are the variances from the approved budget to the
estimated for 2000 and the proposed budget for 2001, under the following
categories:
Financial Estimates (2000/2001)
The estimated operating revenues and expenditure.,; for 2000, and
the proposed budget for 2001.
Operating7 and Capital Fund Expenditures (2000/2001!
The estimated cost for tires, office and garage equipment, and
capital purchases for 2000 and the proposed budget for 2001.
Financial Summary (2000/2001)
The estimated net operating and capital projections for 2000 and
the proposed budget for 2001.
Financial Estimates - 2000
Following are explanations for main variances from the approved
budget to estimates for 2000:
1. REVENUE - STATEMENT ONE
1)
Overall, passenger revenues are projected to be up by
approximately $10,000, This is mainly due to a ridership increase
of approximately 1 ~ %
2)
There was a slight increase in shuttle activity during the tourist
season. Discussions with hotel/motel owners revealed that the
American election and the Olympics had arY impact on their
occupancy. The "Kids Ride Free" promotion again proved to be
very popular with our 'Falls Shuttle' passengers.
3)
Garage revenue will be over budget by approximately t~27,000.
Although we experienced a slight decrease in out-of-town bus
business, more activity from inter-city carriers resulted in a revenue
increase. Again, the American election and the Olympics appears
to have had an effect on the number of tour buses serviced by
Niagara Transit.
There was an increase in bus terminal revenue as a result of
increased activity by inter-city carriers.
5) The Casino contract revenue was less than projected. This was
due to the Casino changing the employee-training venue to the
Montrose Associate Centre instead of off-sight, reducing
transportation requirements. We continued, to maintain our
excellent working relationship with Casino Niagara transp, orting
over one million Casino Associates annually,
2
TRANSPORTATION COSTS - STATEMENT TWO
1)
Operator's wages and benefits decreased in 2000, This was a
result of a decrease in workplace Health and Safety rates and lower
costs for government imposed expenses.
2)
The price of crude oil increased drastically during 2000. As a
result, diesel fuel expense is expected to be approximately
$94,400. over budget.
3)
Advertising costs increased slightly in 2000, primarily due to
efforts of staff marketing regular transit as well as out-of-town bus
services.
3. EQUIPMENT & VEHICLE MAINTENANCE COSTS - STATEMENT THREE
1)
2)
Vehicle operating costs increased due to higher maintenance
requirements for our aging fleet and additional service for the Falls
Shuttle.
We experienced major expenditures for motors and transmissions in
2000. We replaced five (5) motors and four (4) transmissions
(Budget - (3) motors and (3) transmissions). ,;
PREMISES AND PLANT COSTS - STATEMENT FOUR
1) Garage wages and benefits decreased in 2000. This was mainly
due to the reduction in Workplace Health and Safety rates,
2) Maintenance costs increased as a result of major repairs to the
deteriorating washbay wall and bus hoists.
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS - STATEMENT FIVE
1) Wage and benefit costs decreased due to the realignment of a part-
time office person and the reduction in Wo[kplace Health and
Safety rates.
2) A slight decrease in office supplies due to competitive pricing by
suppliers.
OPERA TING AND CAPITAL FUND EXPENDITURES
1)
2)
3)
(EST/MA TED 2000)
The cost for tires, office equipment and garage equipment is
estimated to be over budget by approximately $1,400. This was
the result of replacing our failed steam-cleaner required to clean
buses, bus parts, engines and transmissions at a cost of 96,900.
We purchased a used coach for $38,900.
We refurbished two coaches (buses 40 and 4'1) at a cost of
990,870.
4) Niagara Transit purchased two new coaches at a cost of
9741,088.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY- 2000
If my estimates are correct, the deficit to the C,.ity of Niagara Falls
in 2000, for combined Operating and Capital expenditures v~ill be approximately
91,879,000 some 976,500 over budget. This was due to .the diesel fuel cost
overrun of 994,400.
Note: Estimates are prepared approximately three (3) months prior
to year-end and could change significantly if we have a
dramatic loss of revenue or incur unforeseen operating
expenditures such as additional unbudgeted motor or
transmission replacements or additional increases in diesel
fuel prices.

date of order. We will require councils' approw~l by December
2000 to ensure delivery before the end of 2001.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY- 2001
If my estimates are correct the net deficit to the City of Niagara
Falls for Operating and Capital combined for budget year 2001 will be
approximately 91,897,500 some 918,400 above the projected estimates for
2000. This, of course, is a result of the escalating diesel fuel costs.
We have examined every facet of our operation with the aim of
identifying ways to reduce the overall financial burden public transportation
places on the taxpayers of the City. Niagara Transit has traditionally relied on
other sources of revenue such as the garage and casino operation to offset our
deficit. As we have stated in the past, staff has pursued service and
maintenance contracts with local and inter-city operators with significant
success. We have managed similar results by marketing our out-of-town bus
services. It will be our intention in the year 2001, to continue these pursuits, as
our investigations into these markets are encouraging. ;~

RE:

T.D. Librock, General Manager
Financial Estimates 2000 - Proposed Budget 2001
September 20, 2000
Summarized on the following pages are the variances from the
2000 Budget to the Estimated Actual, and the Proposed Budget for 2001:
FINANCIAL ESTIMATES - 2000
REVENUE
Passenger ridership in 2000 will increase by approximately 10%. This is
mainly attributed to the additional service provided by Niagara Chair-A-
Van starting in June 2000 and unbudgeted school board revenue.
Overall, revenues will be over budget by approximately 95,460.
EXPENDITURES
The variances from the 2000 budget are outlined below:
1. It is estimated that wages will be over-budget by approximately
94,900. due to an increase in daily and weekend service
implemented in June 2000.
2. Increase in fuel costs due to rising prices.
3. Purchased a printer for the Chair-A-Van office.
SUMMARY- 2OO0
Overall, the estimated net cost to the City for physically disabled service
in 2000, will be $188,140. some $840 over the approved budget. This
was due to the increase in service hours.
PROPOSED BUDGET - 2001
REVENUE
This budget includes a 20-cent fare adjustment, the same increase
proposed for conventional transit. In addition, a estimated ridership
increase, due to the additional hours of service and continuation of the
school board, contract.
EXPENDITURES
The following are included in the 2001 Budget:
1. Wage increase due to a wage adjustment and additional service
hours.
2. Other budgeted expenditures are based on last years' estimated
actual costs and the proposed increase in service hours.
SUMMARY - BUDGET 2001
The estimated net cost to the City in 2001, for the physically disabled
transportation service will be $198,700, some $10,600 over the estimate
for 2000. This increase is due to additional service hours and escalating
fuel costs.
Note:
Niagara Chair-A-Van's cost per capita in 1999
was $2.21, compared to the Provinci,al average
of $5.74 (see attached).

Re: CD-2000-28
Digital Photocopiers
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Services Committee recommends the acquisition of new digital photocopiers from
the low bidder, Beatties Basics, for Canon photocopiers.
Proposal P42-2000 was issued for the replacement of old photocopiers'with new digital photocopiers.
The old photocopiers are experiencing an increasing amount of servicing and downtime resulting in
staff fi'ustration and the expenditure of extra fL'ne to obtain copies from other departments. These old
machines have now gone beyond their original service agreement periods.
The Document Management Committee has been evaluating digital copiers along with other devices
as part of the City's overall plan for increased efficiencies in document processing. The proposed new
photocopiers can be integrated into the computer network as required to provide staff with the
capabilities of a fully functional digital network for document processing. The other aspects of this
program are now well in place and these new photocopiers will be an integral component to the digital
system. .'
The results of the proposal are attached to this report. The lowest bidder, Beatties Basics has supplied
Canon photocopiers to the City for the past eleven years and has had an excellent service record.
Canon photocopiers have been recognized throughout the world for quality and service. The attached
summary reflects the proposal comparison of costs for all bidders. Departments may upgrade other
copiers or make choices for individu_al copiers or options that will meet budget restrictions. The
length of the lease and service agreement with the lowest bidder will be five years. The overall costs
for photocopying are expected to be lower for this five-year period than for the previous five year
period.
The Committee's concurrence with this recommendation is appreciated.

That the Corporate Services Committee request Staff to prepare a policy for the management of
requests for grants or donations that are less than $1,000.00.
BACKGROUND:
As th
per the direction ofthe Committee at our November 20 meeting of Corporate Services, staffhas
examined the past three years of discretionary grant expense.
A listing is attached which has been prepared in chronological order of the individual grants. The
description "discretionary" is used to make the Committee aware that these grants were not
previously approved in the General Operating Budget.
The Committee may note that most of the approved grants/donations are less than or equal to
$1,000.00 (63 out of a total 76). As these individual grant requests are minor in comparison to the
more significant requests, Staff suggests that the Committee consider an efficient and fair policy to
manage grant/donation requests that are less than $1,000.00.

Re: F-2000-73 - General Insurance Report
RECOM MEN DATION:
That the Corporate Services Committee approve the 2001 Comprehensive Insurance Program
from Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. at an annual premium of $373,088 (2(100 - $392,724) plus
applicable taxes.
°
That the Corporate Services Committee approve the optional coverage available for
Environmental Liability (additional annual premiums of$10,820) and for Liability Limits with
respect to Municipal Liability, Errors & Omissions, Non-Owned Automobile, and Owned
Automobile (additional annual premium of $13,000).
BACKGROUND:
The City's comprehensive insurance program is reviewed annually for the .purpose of updating and
revising the type and amount of insurance. The cost analysis schedule comp~es the annual premiums
for 2000 and 2001 and shows a decrease. (Refer to Appendix I)
The annual review showed several reasons why the annual premium has significantly decreased.
l)
Through Council's direction, Staff is reviewing risk management practices to improve the
City's experience for liability claims. Our most recent claims audit reports a significant
decrease in claims received in the past five years. Although many factors influence the
number of claims, Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. has advised Staff that the annual premium reflects
the resultant change in reviewing risk management practices.

December 11, 2000 - 2 - F-2000-Ta
2)
Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. has advised Staff that the costs for insurance have decreased since
2000. Insurance carriers are experiencing a more competitive marketplace and are reducing
the premiums expected from brokers.
3)
Competition in the market between insurance brokers has provided incentives for a reduced
premium. Municipal insurance reciprocal and new vendors are challenging the continuance
of our insurance program. The result of these investigations is reflected in the reduction of the
annual premium.
The annual review also showed optional changes to insurance coverage. Staff recommends the
acceptance of the changes to improve the Environmental Liability and the Liability Limits with respect
to Municipal Liability, Errors & Omissions, Non-Owned Automobile and Owned Automobile policies.
The coverage highlights are listed (refer to Appendix 2) along with comments and revisions (see
Appendix 3).

Re: F-2000-74 - Utility Rate Structure
RECOMMENDATION:
1) That the proposed use-based billing structure be adopted for determining water/sewer utility
rates and
2) That the proposed use-based billing structure be applied to the 2000 Budget expenditures to set
rates for the new Water By-law.
BACKGROUND:
In February of 1999, Council approved the installation of water meters for the residential sector.
Council permitted the flat rate billing structure to continue until Staff could study and recommend
a use-based billing structure that provides for the equitable distribution of costs.
In the spring of 2000, R.M. Loudon Ltd. was engaged to assist Staffwith the study of future rate
structure recommendations. A copy of the Consultant's Report is attached for the Committee's
consideration.
The basicorecommendation from the consultant's report provides for a two-part rate structure. The
first part is a service charge distributed on the basis of the number of meters (constant rate regardless
of meter size) or the number and size of meters (varies with meter size). This service charge funds
the maintenance of both the water and sewer systems. It is charged commencing with the connection
of a private water system to the City water system and temfinates when the private water system is
permanently disconnected. The second part of the rate structure is the volumetric or consumption
charge. It is designed to fund the expenditures for water and sewer charges from the Region. The
volumetric charge only occurs when water is consumed.

Clerk's * Finance · Human Resources · Information Systems · Legal · Planning & Development
December 11, 2000 - 2 - F-2000-74
Staff recommends that the utility rate structure be based on the service charge that apportions
maintenance expenditures based on meter size, and a volumetric charge that allocates water and
sewer services charged to the City by the Region. This rate structure distributes the Water/Sewer
Utility Expenditures equitably among ratepayers and provides a use-based system that fairly charges
the small consumption ratepayers or those ratepayers who have historically controlled usage through
conservation methods.
Restating rates for the 2000 Budget according to this recommended utility rate structure indicates
that the average residential consumer will find this rate structure revenue neutral, low consumption
consumers will save but high consumption consumers may experience billing increases (Exhibit 1).
Commercial consumers as shown in Exhibit 2 may experience billing increases, however, the rates
as proposed equitably share the cost of the Water/Sewer Utility among the consumers that are
serviced by the City.
In addition, Staffalso recommends that rates based on the 2000 Budget be shown in the new Water
By-law until the 2001 Budget is adopted by Council. With the adoption of the 2001 Budget, the
schedules of rates accompanying the Water By-law will be amended accordingly.

CITY OF NIAGARA FALLS
STUDY OF WATER & SEWER RATES FOLLOWING METERING
DETAILED REPORT
1 INTRODUCTION
During 1999 and 2000, the City of Niagara Falls has carried out a program of installing
meters on the water services to all customers. Formerly only non-residential customers
were metered. The metering program mostly is for single family dwellings, but has had
the benefit of identifying some other larger customers that escaped metering in the past
and that are also now being metered.
A previous study was carried out of water rates following metering that provided
preliminary rates recommendations. That study recommended tw.o-part water rates with a
single volumetric charge and a service charge variable by meter raze. The method used
was as set out in the Canadian Water & Wastewater Association Municipal Water Rate
Manual.
In the following study, the estimate of water consumption following metering has been
refined based on preliminary readings taken on the newly metered enstomers.
Expenditure data is also based on preliminary 2001 budgets.
2 CURRENT WATER & SEWER RATES
The 2000 water and sewer rates arc as follows:
Exhibit 1 2000 Volumetric Water User Rates (quarterly basis)
~ 0 to 99,000 { $3.13 $3.52
~ lO0,O00 to 199,000 { $2.74 $3.13
{ 200,000 to 299,000 } $2.3~ $2.74

~ 500,000 to 699,000 ] $2.04 $2.20
~ 700,000 & over i $1.87 $2.~
Note that some larger metered customers are billed monthly rather than the quarterly
basis used for most metered customers.

The metered rates are mostly applied every three months (quarterly). The fiat rate charge
is billed every four months at $82.46.
Sewer charges are levied on the water bill as a surcharge. The sewer surcharge is
currently 150% of the water charge.
3 CUSTOMERS
By the time the metering program is complete, about 22,500 unmetered customers are
expected to be converted to meters. When added to the 3,100 customem previously
metered, this will bring the total number of meters to the following:

4 CONSUMPTION
Wholesale - The City pays wholesale charges for the volume of water supplied and the
sewage treated by the Region of Niagara, which is responsible for this service. The City
only has jurisdiction over the retail operation of distributing water and collecting sewage.
The Region charges the same wholesale rates year-round and to all of the area
municipalities. The wholesale rates over the past 3 years are as shown below in Exhibit 4.

The monthly water and sewage flows billed by thc Region starting in 1998 and up to
September 2000 are graphed in ~. This graphically illustrates the normal
seasonality of the water purchases. Monthly water flows in the.surtlmer.of..1.9~9~9 reach, ed
almost three times the spring level. There was much less of an increase in zuuv, a wet
year.
Thc sewage flows, on the other hand, show less variation, with only a modest decrease in
the summer and occasional higher flows in thc spring and fall, no doubt due to inflow and
infiltration. There are sewage flow variations in the summer of 2000 are not consistent
with historical trends, but could relate to thc dates that thc meters were read.
Consumption by Currently Metered Customers - There are about 3,100 customers
currently charged metered rates. Most are billed quarterly, but the larger customers are
billed monthly. Their consumption for the past 2 years is as shown in ~.

Unmetered Use - To narrow down the likely range of unit consumption by the newly
metered customers, meter readings were specially taken in May and June of all meters
installed to that point. There were 17,823 meters read. There were 105 customers with
meter reading dates errors. There were some very large meter readings - the largest 10%
or 178 customers were as a result treated separately. The results of the reading program
are summarized in ~.

Note: The reading dates~were not ~easible s~ch as1980 installation or i~stallation date
after the date of the latest meter reading
The customer name and address, meter serial number, meter installation and reading dates
and volumes were input in Excel spreadsheet format. Meter installation was spread out
from about May 1999 until the date of the special readings. The average monthly usage
for all customers was 26.5 mYmonth. Much of this consumption was not in the summer.
Only about 20% of the customers had been metered by the end of last summer.
The customers are mostly residential, but there are some non-residential customers
including some larger users. If the largest 1% of users is removed from the calculation,
the average use drops to 24.5 mYmonth. 99% of the customers used less than 90
mYmonth. Usage by the top 1% ranged up to in excess of 1,000 mYmonth.
Exhibit 9 illustrates the average consumption by customers and includes the variance in
level depending on how long customers have been metered. Customers that have been
metered the longest include both summer and winter usage. These are plotted on the right
hand side of the graph. The average monthly consumption level of customers that were
metered prior to July 1999 was about 29.5 mYmonth. These customers were metered for a
full year. But as customers are progressively metered and customers with only winter
consumption are included in the average, the level drops. This can be seen by as the
vertical bars get shorter during the winter since usage by these customers only includes
winter usage.
Based on the initial consumption levels, and recognizing the fact that summer usage is
much higher than winter, it seems feasible that the average usage for these newly metered
customers might well be about 28 mYmonth.
Unmetered use is a combination of unaccounted for water (UFW) losses such as
watermain leakage, hydrant flushing, sewer flushing etc plus water used by unmetered
customers (i.e. flat rate customers). Exhibit 10 illustrates possible combinations of UFW
and unmetered customer consumption in 1998 and 1999 based on 22,500 unmetered
customers. An average level of 28 m3 /month /customer over a full year is equivalent to
23% UFW. This is relatively high, but not unreasonable compared to previous staff
estimates of about 19% UFW. Full meter reading will clarify this calculation. If the top
1% of newly metered customers are excluded, then this is equivalent to about 26 m3
/month/customer for residential customers. In the original metering financial study it was
concluded that residential usage by unmetered residential customer is about 27 m3/month
/customer. That conclusion was based on other municipalities as well as a small sample
of metered flat rate customers in the City.
Impact of Metering - Experience with the impact of metering varies. There are many
influences, primarily cost level and amount of discretionary use (primarily summer use).
Often there is an initial impact followed by a rebound~ since the water is not really high
compared to other utilities. Water and sewer combined is less than cable television
charges.
A typical residential customer is likely to use in the range of 18 to 22 mYmonth, based on
experience in other similar Ontario municipalities. Excluding the 1% largest users in the
newly metered group, the likely consumption now is about 26 m3/month. According to
research by Environment Canada reduction in water use doe to metering is likely to be
30% or more. A drop to 20 m3/month after metering would represent a decrease fi.om 26
mYmonth of 23%. Combining this information, it is assumed that consumption will drop
by 25% in the first year. The level of consumption following metering is calculated in
Exhibit 12.
5 Financial
The 2001 draft water and sewer budget has been prepared with water and sewer costs
combined. In the past these costs have been kept separate and the water and sewer tariffs
set separately. There is a trend in Ontario towards issuing a single combined water and
sewer charge - see Section 6 below.
The water and sewer budgets are summarized in ~.
6 Tariff Calculations '>
The current water tariffs are two-part with both fixed (variable by meter size) and
volumetric (decreasing block). The following is recommended:
· That water and sewer tariffs be billed as one combined rate. This is done in several
municipalities in Ontario, the largest being the City of Toronto. This was also the
practice followed in many of the six local municipalities in Mehn>politan Toronto
previously. The Town of Markham has also followed this practice for many years.
The Town of Markham is similar to the City of Niagara Falls with respect to their
being the retail provider of water and sewer services inside the Region of York which
bills for both wholesale services based on volume (both water and sewer are billed
based on water volumes at the wholesale level, however). This year the Town of
Newmarket has also switched to a combined water / sewer charge. The use of a
combined charge provides much greater flexibility with regard to budgeting these
services and allowing for annual revenue fluctuations'
· Eliminate Declining Block Rates - There is little or no cost justification for declining
block rates in Niagara Falls. There are economies of scale for large water users, but
these occur mostly in the water production area, which is a Regional responsibility. It
does not affect the City's costs.
The following comments are also added regarding the water and sewer rates: '
· Note that the use of water consumption as a basis for billing sewer charges is
common in Ontario. This is the most feasible way of approaching user pay for
recovering sewer costs. Water meter readings are a surrogate for measuring sewage
flows. During 1999, total Niagara Falls sewage flows billed by the Region were close
to total water flows, only about 6% higher and in 1998 sewage flows were about 10%
higher than water flows. In Niagara Falls, as in most other municipalities, customer
metered water flows are used in the calculation of a customer's sewage charges.
Overall this is a fair way of achieving user pay for the sewage costs. It is meant to
allocate sewer costs in proportion to each customer's use of the system. Although
there are flow differentials between water and sewer systems due to seasonal water
use in the summer and for sewer due to inflow and infiltration, these variations more
or less even out over the year. The use of water consumption is a reasonable surrogate
for sewage flows and is the only practical way of achieving user pay for sanitary
sewer charges.
· Seasonal Charges - Note that water consumption normally has a very high seasonal
component in Niagara Falls. Water consumption in the summers of 1998 and 1999
exhibited very high increases - see ~. The wet summer of 2000 showed very
little increase. Since the cost of meeting summer peaks occurs at the Regional level,
there is little justification for the City to consider seasonal rates. This may have to be
reconsidered if the Region decides to utilize some form of seasonal rates to moderate
the high summer peak water flows.
The combined water and sewer rates are calculated in ~. Two options are
provided:
· Option 1 - Recover Regional Volumetric Charges from Volumetric Rate - This
approach is based on revenue security plus relating obviously variable charges to the
volumetric rate and largely fixed charges to the fixed service charge. It is a fair
approach. Unfortunately, the conservation aspect of metering is weakened since only
about two-thirds of costs in the volumetric rate.
* Option 2 - Recover 80% of Costs in the Volumetric Rate - This alternative would
recover all of the Regional costs in the volumetric rate, plus some of the City costs. It
would have a higher conservation element, which may translate'into reduced usage
and reduced Regional charges as a result.
The service charge is calculated both as (A) a single charge for all customers and (B) one
variable by meter size.
The volumetric rates and service charges are provided in Exhibit 12.
7 Impact
The impact of the proposed rates compared to the current rates is provided in Exhibit 13.
For flat rate customers, those that use below average volumes pay less and above-average
users pay more. The average customer pays slightly less.
For currently metered customers, most pay more due to the elimination of the volume
discounts.
8 Implementation
The following suggestions for implementation are made.
There should be public notices in advance of the impending rates and how they might
affect customers.
· The bill should include a phone number where customers can ask questions about
their bill.
· The new tariffs should not be first applied during the summer season as the
differential from the flat rate charges will highest at that time.
· The billing staff should be prepared to answer questions about why customers' bills
have changed. They should also be helpful in suggesting ways to reduce usage.
· Also there will be high residential water users who will not be happy with paying for
what they use. It must be emphasized that this is now a user pay system and that
customers have a measure of control over the size of their bill.
· For larger customers, notification should go out in advance of their expected increase.
This will often avoid adverse reaction once the bills are received.
· Some municipalities choose to initially send out demonstration bills to illustrate the
potential impact of the metered rate charges, so that customers can adjust usage
before the real billings start.

Members:
Re: F-2000-75 - Water By-law Update
RECOMMENDATION:
That the updated Water By-law be recommended to Council for adoption.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the water metering program, Staff advised that the Water Bylaw, 75-20, should be
reviewed. Staff's review found the basic content of the 1975 By-law remained applicable to the
current operation of the City's Water Utility. Some of the terminology used in 1975 required
updating and the amendments over the past twenty-five years should be incorporated. The recent
decision of Council to adopt water metering also necessitates that changes be made.
The following are the principal changes in the updated Water By-law:
1) The schedules appended to the By-law are designed to be amended from year to year as Council
decides.
2) Water rates are based on the use-base billing structure as discussed in Report F-2000-74.
3)
The collection procedures applicable to tenant accounts have been expanded and detailed and
require Staff to provide adequate and reasonable notice before water service is terminated for
delinquent accounts.
4)
City Utility Revenues are protected by restricting application for service to owners, or owners
and tenants. Tenants will be required to provide a service deposit equivalent to an estimated
amount for two billing periods.

5) It provides a flat water rate billing structure when the City chooses not to install a water meter,
or when the owner refuses to accept a water meter.
6) Water meters are mandatory for future water service installations.
A copy of the updated Water By-law is attached f6r the Committee's consideration. Upon the
Committee's recommendation and the Council's approval, the.updated Water By-law would become
effective as of January 1, 2001.

Dear Wayne:
The Chip-A-Ways, Chippawa House Master Ladies Slo-Pitch Team has qualified for
the National Slo-Pitch Championships, which will be held August 3 - 6, 2001 in
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We qualified for the "Nationals" this past September by
finishing 2nd in the Provincial Championships held in Niagara Falls.
In order to represent our city and province in August 2001, we are looking to our
community to support us. We are hoping to raise $15,000.00, which will assist in
covering the cost ofairfare, lodging, and food. A donation of $1,000.00 from the City
of Niagara Falls would help us reach our goal and would be much appreciated.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 357-1659.
