"
In January 2005, the Board of Directors presented a Preliminary Business Plan to the City of
Niagara Falls requesting a one-time grant to fund 50% of the estimated $10,000,000 costs
associated with the development of a new facility.
The Preliminary Business Plan presented to City Council, was developed from studies and
documentation gathered from 2002 to 2004. During the years of 2005 and 2006, the Boys and Girls
Club of Niagara identified significant developments with respect to the project and as such
undertook the development of an addendum to update the preliminary business plan.
An additional purpose of this addendum is to provide current information relevant to building a
successful case for support for a New Boys and Girls Club in the City of Niagara Falls.
Red Raiders Basketball Association
The Red Raiders Basketball Association indicated to the Boys and Girls Club that in 2004, their
original interest in the new facility was associated with the rising costs of occupancy in school
gymnasiums. With the recent implementation of Provincial Government policy to ensure affordable
rental rates, the Red Raiders Basketball Association recognized that it was more cost effective to
continue with their tradition of operating from school gymnasiums. This development will result in a
significant reduction of space and corresponding reductions to the preliminary capital program and
both revenue and expense in the preliminary operating program.
Capital Program
The original capital program was developed from the "Preliminary Total Budget Report, January 25,
2005" prepared by V. P. Architects Inc. In the report, the land costs were not identified and
construction estimates reflected 2005 projected costs as opposed to 2007 projected costs. This
development results in corresponding adjustments to the preliminary capital program.

Expansion - Pre School Program
In 2007, the opportunity to move forward with the expansion of the preschool care program and Pre
School Programs was made possible by the adjustments to the Ontario Early Years Satellite
Program. This provides the Club the ability to offer additional preschool care spaces and programs
2006 and 2007, This development results in corresponding adjustments to the preliminary
operating program.
Boys and Girls Club of Niagara Foundation
In 2005, the Boys and Girls Club engaged the consulting services of the Dennis Group to review
the annual communications and fundraising potential of the organization. The final report indicated
a greater potential for fund development than reported in the Preliminary Business Plan. Following
the recommendations of the report, responsibilities for charitable donations and a new annual
campaign program were transferred to the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara Foundation. While still in
transition, there were significant adjustments in the budget structure and funding levels, 2006. This
results in corresponding adjustments to the preliminary operating program.
City Staff Input
In March of 2006, it was noted by City Staff that clarification was required with respect to projected
participation and associated increases in projected fees. Clarity is required to differentiate between
"membership registration" and "membership" to demystify the organization's approach to budget
projection. Further, there were concerns expressed with respect to the reduction in sports and
recreation registrations associated with the opening of the new YMCA operating from the MacBain
Community Center. This results in adjustments to the projected participation and the preliminary
operating program,

,
In June of 2005, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada introduced a new national brand. The new
brand included a revised mission and core values, logo and tag line. Following suit, the new identity
was adopted by the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara, September of 2005.

Mission
To provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities,
overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life,
Core Values
Inclusion & Opportunity
We strive to offer children and youth from all economic, cultural, and social backgrounds access to
the resources, supports and opportunities that will enable them to overcome barriers and achieve
their positive potential in life,
Respect & Belonging
We provide a safe, supportive place, where every child is listened to, treated with respect and
valued in an environment of inclusion and acceptance, Our staff and volunteers model honesty, fair
play, positive attitude, cooperation, and respect for self and others.
Empowerment
We believe all young people can grow into responsible, contributing, and self-reliant members of
society. Children and youth are at the center of everything we do. Through adventure, play, and
discovery, we encourage and empower them to develop healthy lifestyles, a life-long passion for
learning, leadership, and life skills, and a sense of social responsibility.
Collaboration
We work together with families and volunteers in each community, in partnership with the public
and private sector, to create healthy community solutions to providing children and youth with what
they need for optimal development.
Speaking Out
We speak out on behalf of children, youth and their families to reduce disadvantage, enhance their
lives and enable their voices and ideas to be heard.

Reaching the Children and Youth
The Boys and Girls Club is unique, serving the children and youth of Niagara for over 46 years.
There is significant community support for the organization and its programs and services,
particularly from those who fully understand the differences of a Boys and Girls Club from other
services providers.
Parks and Recreation Canada, 2001, noted that 3 in 4 children, living in families whose income is
above the low income cut off levels (L1CO's), participate in traditional recreational programs.
Participation decreases to only 1 in 4 children, living in families below the L1CO's. Through
community support, the Boys and Girls Club offers a broad range of programs and services in a
low cost accessible model, to reach out to these untraditional markets. This is accomplished
through nominal membership fees, session structured sports and recreation programs and
subsidies where required. This is critical in a City where it is estimated through Statistics Canada,
2001, that 31 % of children live in single parent families with incomes below the L1CO's.
Impact on Children, Youth and Communities
There is a further definite value in the impact the Boys and Girls Club environment has on children,
youth and communities. It has been revealed that 97% of former alumni nation wide agree the Club
had a positive impact on their lives. A recent study by United States Senator Joseph Biden noted
clearly that wherever there is a Boys and Girls Club, there is a significant reduction in juvenile
crime.
Need to Replace Aging Facility
The current facility located at 6681 Culp Street was constructed in 1960, and served the community
well for 46 years. Each year, the aging facility shows more deficiencies, increasing associated
operating and capital costs. Two examples are the excessive water use required to maintain the
50-year-old design of the pool and the heat loss through the aging ventilation system, The need to
replace the existing space has not been widely published. The community's children and youth
need to occupy the space until such time as a new facility becomes available.

Program of Requirements
Working with the architect, adjustments have been made to the preliminary conceptual drawing to
reflect the reduction of the space associated with the participation of the Red Raiders Basketball
Association. Economies from further space reductions can be realized when more detailed design
is undertaken.
Proposed Amenities 2006
. Preschool Center
. Child and Youth Activity Rooms
. Double Gymnasium
. Teen Center
. Olympic Sport Pool
. Outdoor Play Area
. Kitchen and Dining Facilities
. Administrative Spaces
. Parking and Bus Staging Facilities
It is important to note, that with the second gymnasium removed from the project, there are no new
spaces planned. Each space planned corresponds to existing space at Culp Street with increased
square footage to accommodate the projected growth,

Clarification. Membership
There are five classification of membership at the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara as describe in the
Constitution and Bylaws of the organization. Only two of the membership categories use programs
and services, These are Full Youth Members and Associate Members,
Full Youth Membership is available to all children and youth 0-24 years of age. Membership entitles
the individual access to membership programs and services as describe in Table 5, No one is
denied access due to financial constraints.
Boys & Girls Club of Niagara
A good place to be
Children and youth participating in licensed care and sports and recreation programs and outreach
are registered as full youth members. Children participating in community programs are not
registered as full youth members.
Associate Members are individuals considered as members, only for the time they are participants
in ancillary community programs as described in Table 5. The number of these members is
developed annually (duplication is likely), however, with the current availability and condition of
space, the activities of these members represent only 3% of the total Club programs and services
and operating program.
Projections - Projected Full Youth Membership
In March of 2006, it was noted by City Staff that clarification was required with respect to projected
full youth membership registrations and associated increases in projected fees, There was a lack of
clarity between "full youth membership registration" figures quoted in Annual Reports and actual
"full youth membership" with in the calendar year.
The number of "full youth membership registrations" recorded in the Annual Reports reflects the full
youth memberships purchased in the fiscal/calendar year but does not reflect total "full youth
membership" in the calendar year. "Full Youth Membership" in the calendar year includes full youth
memberships purchased in the calendar year (full youth membership registrations) and valid full
youth memberships purchased in the previous year.
The total full youth membership has increased from 1,863 in 2001 to 2661 in 2006 as
demonstrated in Table 1,
Table 1 - Summary Total Full Youth Membershi
2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005

Recognizing that the 2005 Full Youth Membership registrations include an estimated 100 youth
from neighbouring municipalities, the current membership in the City of Niagara Falls is estimated
at 2,500. The projected increase in full youth membership in a new facility is 58%, (or 1,500
children and youth) Table 2, based on the SES Public Opinion Study, 2002 and the proposed
square footage of program space.

Projected Licensed Care Spaces
The Boys and Girls Club develops operating programs for licensed care programs based on the
number of "licensed childcare spaces" awarded by the Ministry of Family and Children's Services.
License for these spaces are awarded on square footage and specific design of available space,
The Club has continually filled the spaces and maintained annual waiting list. The number of
children and families utilizing the spaces varies significantly, The preliminary conceptual drawing
includes requirements for 45 preschool and 90 school age childcare spaces, reflecting projected
increases of 250% (or estimated 25 spaces) and 50% (or 30 spaces) respectively, Table 3.
Table 3 - Projected Licensed Care Spaces
2006' Projected 2011 Percent Increase
Preschool Spaces 16 45 250%
School A~e Spaces 60 90 50%
Clarification - Projected Sports and Recreation Registrations
The Boys and Girls Club develops operating programs for Sports and Recreation Programs based
on "registrations" throughout the fiscal year, "Registrations" do not reflect the total number of
participating individuals but the total number of registrations in programs for each session of the
year. It was anticipated by the Boys and Girls Club that "registrations" in the sports and recreation
service area may decrease in 2006 due to the opening of the new YMCA operating from the
MacBain Community Center. Third quarter statistics, for 2006, indicated that the Club experienced
an estimated decrease in registrations in programs of approximately 10%. Adjustments have been
made to account for the difference. This results in projected increases in a new facility by 63% (425
registrations per quarter), Table 4,

Significant Assumptions - Overview
The Boys and Giris Club of Niagara implemented successful annual operating programs, 2000 -
2006, by ensuring an excess of revenue over expense. This was accomplished through increasing
"earned revenue" primarily through growth and fee increases. Increases in revenues were invested
to enhance the quality of programs, strengthen the infrastructure and increase the Club's capacity
to carry out strategic plans.
The Operating Program in the Preliminary Business Plan was based on assumptions applied to the
2005 Approved Budget. The Preliminary Operating Program presented in the Addendum is based
on the Proposed 2007 Budget. Both of these budgets included revenue and expenses associated
with the Niagara Falls Unit only.
Significant Assumptions - Expenses
Expenses are anticipated to increase by 1.7% annually from 2007 - 2011. This is consistent with
recent inflation rates in "The Latest release from the Consumer Price Index, October 2006,
Statistics Canada, More significantly, this is consistent with the Boys and Girls Club annual
average wage increases of 1.7%. Wages represent over 75% of total operating costs.
Occupancy in the new facility, 2009, is $338,000,00 calculated as in the preliminary business plan
with a 4% to reflect inflation in projected costs of 2005 to projected costs of 2007. The expenses
calculated with this formula approach, likely duplicates undefined maintenance expenses included
in the program budgets, This may result in increased revenue over expense at year-end.
All "operation" expenses from 2006 are included in the preliminary operating program. The
projected economies achieved by operating multi-facilities, utilizing the same infrastructure are not
defined and may result in increased revenue over expense.
s
Boys & Girls Club of Niagara

Expenses, directly related to program delivery, are projected to increase proportionately to
incremental increases in participation. The projected increases are distributed evenly over five
years represented in Table 6. It is likely growth may occur sooner in licensed care programs based
on current waiting lists,

Transportation 2,500 2,500 2,500 2,875 3,306 3,802
Significant Assumptions. Revenue
Revenue must increase at an annual rate of 2% to offset increased expense. There will be a one
time additional increase of 5% program fees to offset the increased occupancy cost in the new
building, 2009, The impact on program fees is determined to be consistent with market thresholds
and is represented in Table 7. I ncreases are distributed evenly over each year but application will
fluctuate,
Revenue, directly related to program fees, is projected to increase proportionately to incremental
increases in participation. The projected increases are represented in Table 6. Membership Fees
will remain at $20 per year 2007 - 2011 to ensure continued accessibility. In the addendum, the
membership fees were developed with percentage increases to the fees received in 2006. This will
address the significant "slippage" in membership fees due to reduced or forgiven fees, noted by
City staff.

Summary
The preliminary operating program 2007 - 2011, demonstrates surpluses each year, Table 8.
Excess of revenue over expense is anticipated to provide for additional contingencies and
equipment. As stated in annual financial statements, the value of in kind goods and services is not
defined but contributes greatly to the operation of the organization.
The Annual Capital Program will be offset by the annual surpluses. It is anticipated the Annual
Capital requirement will be met in 2009 through the Capital Equipment Budget.

Balance 58,699,00 92.562.76 52.691,17 137,935,38 172,944,89
Significant Assumptions - Long Term - Revenue and Expenses
The preliminary operating program is based on historical performance and does not reflect the
significant opportunities for increased revenue in a new facility. By diversifying existing programs to
include public swims, expanded aquatics sports programs including diving, synchronized
swimming, and rental programs in the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara will realize increases in
revenue to support the new facility.
Beyond 2011, revenue sources must increase at a rate to offset increases in expense.
Recreational programs and services, in the City of Niagara Falls, have been delivered by not for
profit organizations for over 45 years. This practice represents a tremendous savings to the
taxpayer compared to municipalities that directly deliver theses programs. Through supporting the
Boys and Girls Club of Niagara in this project the City of Niagara Falls will realize the benefits of a
new enhanced indoor recreational and aquatics facility at only 50% of the capital costs and 11 % of
the annual operating costs, making this project an excellent strategic long term investment.

Capital Program
The capital program in the preliminary business plan was developed based in the "Preliminary
Total Budget Report, January 25,2005" prepare by V. P. Architects Inc. The land costs were not
identified and the estimates reflected 2005 projected costs as opposed to 2007 projected costs.
Construction costs are adjusted by an increase of 7%, Canadian Construction Industry Forecasts
2006 - 2010, Canadian Construction Association, and service area costs by 4%, to develop the
2007 projected capital program, Table 9. Significant savings were realized by reducing the space
requirements associated with the Red Raiders Basketball Association, Economies from further
space reductions can be realized when more detailed design is undertaken on the "Conceptual
Drawing 2006", (Appendix C)
The adjustments to the capital program are based on preliminary conceptual drawing of a new
35,000 square foot facility and a represented in Table 9.

Preliminary Funding Formula
The reduction in total budget costs results in corresponding adjustments to the anticipated funding
sources. Projected funding formula consists of three components, Capital Campaign proceeds at
$3,000,000; estimated savings associated with Estimated Project Savings at $1,650,000, and a
one-time contribution from the City of Niagara Falls at $4,650,000, Table 10,

The Capital Campaign represents $3,000,000.00, as projected through the Capital Campaign
Study of 2005. The Campaign Plan involves best practice of sequentially soliciting family gifts,
leadership gifts, major gifts and general gifts. The Campaign was ceased early in 2006, midway in
the family campaign, when it became evident that leadership gifts would be announced only when
municipal funding level was known, The preliminary campaign activities of 2005 - 2006 resulted in
$300,000,00 cash pledges to the project representing one tenth of the total campaign
Estimated Project Savings is comprised of several sources, which will "draw down" the cost of the
project. Specifically, the Club intends to request a capital grant from the Ontario Trillium
Foundation to fund equipment and furnishings. However, federal, provincial and regional
government support can be identified only when municipal funding levels are known. Further
testing will continue to identify in kind project gifts, $500,000.00 in kind donations was received to
date, including the gift of the property on McLeod Road, Niagara Falls.
December 2006 to February 2007, the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara will concurrently: work
ciosely with the New Project Committee and consultants to further develop the case for support for
a new Boys and Girls Club; better define in kind gift capabilities; test the capital program expenses;
and prepare to resume the Capital Campaign,

New Boys and Girls Club Review of Feasibiiity Study, Monteith Brown Planning Consultants - May 8, 2007
Presented to City Council by the Boys and Giris Club of Niagara - May 28, 2007
1
Overview
The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with supporting comment from the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara with respect to the Feasibility
Study prepared by Montieth Brown Planning Consultants, May 8, 2007. The Boys and Girls Club thanks the team at Montieth Brown Planning
Consultants, Club representatives, City representatives and Councilor loannoni, who worked on the Review Committee to move forward this most
important project which is of course a New Boys and Girls Club Facility for the community of Niagara Falls. As an overall comment on the work
completed, the Feasibility Study represents a valued resource that the Boys and Girls Club can use as reference not only for the New Club in Niagara
Falls but also for future development in municipalities throughout the Region.
Since the onset of developing a new Boys and Girls Club, studies indicated significant support in the community for this initiative. The Feasibility Study,
prepared by Monteith Brown confirms that the community values the services provided by the Boys and Girls Club1, that the Boys and Girls Club plays
an important role in the communityz. that there is a need to replace the existing BGCN facilitY3 and that there is a role for the City in funding the new
facility4.
Projections based on the study's household survey suggest increases in memberships of 10% - 22% and program participation of 27% - 55% in a new
Boys and Girls Club5. The confirmation of both community support and increased participation is critical in moving this initiative forward.
Recommendations
Citv Commitment
1. City approves one half of construction costs "in principle"
. BGCN secures remainder of capital costs
. BGCN revises Business Plan
. BGCN assumes cost overruns
. City/BGCN enter into ownership/lease agreement
. City commits up to $5,000,000.00
2. City honours approval - two years
3. City/BGCN strengthen relationship - project principles
4. City/BGCN work together with community to address needs
5. City/BGCN develop purchase of service

The Boys and Girls Club concurs with the study recommendation that City Council approve support of this project in principle. The Boys and Girls Club
is committed to supporting the approval through securing the remainder of capital required, revising the business plan, assuming the potential overruns,
and working through the ownership/ lease arrangements.
The Boys and Girls Club concurs that approval within two years will be required and recognizes the benefits of strengthening the relationship with the
municipality based on the project principles recommended in the study. The Boys and Girls Club currently participates in collaborative meetings
between municipal staff and community service providers throughout the Region and recognizes this recommendation as a progressive step fostering
cooperation and coordination. The Club currently holds purchase of service agreements with the Federal, Provincial and Regional levels of government
and would be pleased to forward the templates to City staff to assist in the development of a municipal agreement.
Site Evaluation & Analvsis
6. Site Selection
The Boys and Girls Club was gifted properly on McLeod Road valued at $500,000.00, representing one-tenth of the proposed capital campaign goal.
To date the Club has invested $60,000 in development of the site. The property has been rezoned as institutional and a preliminary site plan completed
based on City staff recommendations. This represents a significant investment which can be utilized by the community at no cost to the taxpayers. The
properly meets the site selection criteria of the Boys and Girls Club including proximity to population served, owned vs. lease, cost, proximity to
residential growth, expansion space for Lightning Gymnastic Club, and is available within an acceptable timeframe.
The Boys and Girls Club has reviewed the site work in the Feasibility Study and noted that all 20 selection criteria would not likely be considered by the
Boys and Girls Club in selecting a site. A most important criteria - proximity to population served - represented only 10% of the total achievable points.
Only the McLeod Road and A.G. Bridge Park sites are within reasonable proximity to 73% of the population served (Club membership 2006) Appendix
B. The Boys and Girls Club will work with city staff to identify the feasibility of A.G. Bridge Park as a potential site and consult with project supporters,
and stakeholders to further evaluate the merits of these sites.
Facilitv Size and Aauatics
7. Reduce Facility Size
8. Reduce Pool Size

The proposed 25 meter, 6 lane pool was selected for the New Boys and Girls Club for several reasons. In the early phases of the project, the most
common response from stakeholders was the need for a larger aquatics facility. Early research noted that the proposed pool represents a public
amenity and public water surface comparable to those in same size municipalities. The design complements the existing leisure pool at the MacBain
Center and fills certain gaps in services identified in the 2007 Recreation Strategic Plana.
The Feasibility Study revealed that the two public indoor public pools located at the Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA are currently at 70% and 41 %
capacities respectivelY7, with Brock University Pool meeting 5% of outstanding community needss. Based on this, the Study recommends reducing the
size of the pool. Reducing the size of the pool would certainly reduce both capital and operating budgets and expedite the completion of the project.
The Boys and Girls Club is prepared to present the significant financial merits of this option to members and stakeholders.
The Boys and Girls Club also recognizes that continued evaluation of the financial economies and program benefits of a 25 meter pool is warranted,
2007 Recreation Strategic Plang The Feasibility Study recommends an investment of $1.68 million in a new indoor aquatic facility1o. The additional cost
to the taxpayers to construct the larger pool in the New Boys and Girls Club is only $379,000 (2007) in comparison to the cost to the taxpayer of
$3,785,241 to construct the larger pool ten years in the future (2.44m with 5% increases annually).
Caoital BudGet Estimates & Proiect Costs
9. Refine Capital Program
10. Establish specific design quality guidelines
The Boys and Girls Club has reviewed the cost estimates proposed in the Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study presents an option of investing an
additional 2.66 million to offset increased costs associated with the proposed alternative construction approach, higher end construction materials and
a larger contingencY11 Understanding the capital limitations, the project can be brought back within budget by reducing space. The proposed
construction options warrant serious consideration and can more appropriately evaluated when the facility design is refined and finalized.
Annual BudGet and OoeratinG Costs
11. Revise Plan for potential deficits
12. Revise Plan 2010 and beyond
13. Revise Plan revenue and expense (occupancy)
14. Work toward furlher developing program costs
15. Committo a Capital Reserve

The most significant new piece of information gleaned from the Feasibility Study is associated with the significant increases in projected occupancy
costs at $25.40 sq It 12. With a specific breakdown of this figure and separation of blended program and occupancy costs in the Boys and Girls Club
operating program, an exact understanding of potential deficits can be confirmed and addressed. The Club concurs that revisions are required with
respect to reducing projections beyond 2010, updating revenue and expenses accordingly. The commitment to a long term capital reserve can be
established when ownership and lease agreements are reached.
Fundraisinq Campaiqn
16. Revise funding strategy
The Boys and Girls Club agrees that revisions to the capital campaign statement of need and capital campaign plan can be undertaken concurrently as
the City and the Boys and Girls Club work through the project. The Boys and Girls Club will work to engage lead supporters to recommence the silent
phase of the Campaign.
Movinq Forward
Although this Feasibility Study represents a critical milestone in the quest for new Boys and Girls Club, it is but one of several steps that will be
required13. Most important to the success of this initiative is the commitment of the City Council, City Staff and Council and the Boys and Girls Club to
build on the recommended project principals14. The Boys and Girls Club will undertake activities forthwith to finalize the key issues of site and facility
size and work with the City to develop purchase of service and ownership lease agreements. Moving forward on this project represents a significant
strategic investment in the community and in Niagara's children and youth. The Boys and Girls Club supports moving forward with the City of Niagara
Falls in this initiative.
