ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:25 p.m.
Blue Light Programme
The Blue Light Programme, a community initiative, began in Niagara Falls in 1998. We believe it to
be unique in Canada.
Citizens are asked to shine one significant blue light amid their Christmas displays in
memmy of Police Officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
We are now stressing the words "a significant blue light ". Strings of blue or multi,colored
lights with blue included, do not send our message. Ideally that visible light, either inside or out, will
shine over the Christmas season.
We have seen progress in our city. The Niagara Falls City Council unanimously
endorsed the programme, However, if this simple, low-cost, effective tribute to these men and women
is to expand, promotion of the idea is essential.
Our financial requirements would be for an ad in the Niagara Falls Review and
the purchase of 2,000 blue lights for distribution. Sponsorship of $1,000 would cover these
initiatives.

City of Niagara Falls, Ontario
Members:
Re: F~2001-65 - Financing for the Acquisition
of the CN/CP Railway Corridor
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Services Committee approve an application be made to The Regional
Municipality of Niagara to issue debentures up to a maximum of $12,500,000 for the City's
share for the acquisition of the CN/CP Railway Corridor.
That the Corporate Services Committee approve interim financing of $12,500,000 from the
City's financial institution for the purpose of paying the City's share for the acquisition of
CN/CP Railway Corridor.
That the Corporate Services Committee approve an application be made to The Regional
Municipality of Niagara to issue debentures up to a maximum of $5,000,000 for the City's
obligation for the demolition of the International Bridge.
That the Corporate Services Committee approve obtaining a Letter of Credit for $4,000,000
plus CPI from the City's financial institution for the purpose of providing security for the
City's obligation for the demolition of the International Bridge.
That the Corporate Services Committee approve budgeting annual payments of $100,000 for
five years, or up to a maximum of $500,000 for the purpose of paying the City's obligation
for the maintenance of the International Bridge.
That the Corporate Services Committee approve budgeting approximately $675,000 for the
purpose of paying the City's share of due diligence investigation and closing costs.
BACKGROUND:
On January 30, 2001, Staff was asked to investigate financing for the acquisition of the CN/CP
Railway Corridor. Staff provided information regarding the City's authority and capacity for
financing, and the potential costs of additional debt.
November 5, 2001 -2- F-2001-65
On September 19, 2001, this information was included for the Council's consideration of the report
from the Negotiation Team. The report stated a potential closing date of December 14th for the
agreement of purchase. This report explains the financing and provides a recommendation for the
consideration of the Corporate Services Committee.
City's Authority and Capacit~
The Province of Ontario, through its Municipal Finance Branch of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and Housing, provides an annual report called the Annual Repayment Limit (ARL) for the City of
Niagara Falls. The ARL is 25% ofthe City's own source revenues as reported in the City's Financial
Information Return. For example, the City's own source revenues for 1998 were $48.6 million. The
annual repayment limit is 25% or approximately $12.1 million. The City's actual debt repayment
for 1998 was $2,008,563, well below the ARL.
The provincial rule is applied at each incurrence of additional borrowing. For instance, during the
2001 year, the Council approved $2,422,000 additional debt and staffprovided evidence that the City
is still conforming to the provincial rule.
The City's debt management policy is more restrictive than the provincial rule. The policy states that
the annual repayment limit is 15% (not 25%) ofthe City's own source revenues. As at October 31,
2001, the annual repayment limit is approximately $8,000,000. This amount would support
approximately $51 million of debt; the City's outstanding debt is $4.4 million.
Staff advise that the City has the authority and the capacity to obligate itself to an additional
borrowing of up to $17,500,000. This amount includes the following:
$12,500,000 for the acquisition of the CN/CP Railway Corridor
$ 4,000,000 plus CPI for the demolition of the International Bridge
Financing Plan
Staff has reviewed all possible options and combination of options for financing. It has been Staff's
objective to obtain financing at the best possible interest rates, over an appropriate period of time
within the guidelines established by the Municipal Act. The financing must be balanced within the
City's current debt schedule, future capital works financing and, most importantly, the total income
of the City.
For the acquisition, Staff recommends that the City enter into a short term, floating interest rate loan
agreement with the City's financial institution (The Bank of Nova Scotia). The City will have the
opportunity to fix the interest rate at any time during the life of the loan. At the end of the short term
loan and, if necessary, the City will make application to the Region to issue sufficient debentures to
pay-out the loan balance.
November 5, 2001 -3- F-2001-65
As part of the financing plan, it is Staff's suggestion that the future payment-in-lieu for the new
casino complex and the proceeds from the sale of any excess railway lands be directed to pay this
debt. In the short term, Staff will include the annual financing costs within the General Purposes
Budget. In order to reduce the necessity of debenturing, Council must be willing to direct these
future incomes to the repayment of this debt.
For the demolition, Staff recommends that the City obtain a Letter of Credit from the City's financial
institution (The Bank of Nova Scotia). As there may not be a need for providing funds for the
demolition, the Letter of Credit will satisfy the required security for the City's obligation of this
matter. However, should the demolition be required, the City can then make application to the
Region to issue sufficient debentures to pay demolition costs up to $5 million.
Staff recommends that the General Purposes Budget be used to provide funding for the City's
obligation for the maintenance of the international bridge. This obligation amounts to $100,000
annually for five years to a maximum of $500,000.
Also, the General Purposes Budget would be used to provide approximately $675,000 for the
purpose of paying due diligence, investigation and closing costs.
Borrowing By-law Requirements
Staff advise the current borrowing bylaw does not provide for the financing of the acquisition of
CN/CP Railway Corridor and the demolition of the International Bridge. As with all borrowing, the
City Council must pass bylaws that authorize the borrowing. Also, City Council must pass
borrowing bylaws that specifically refer to the acquisition of CN/CP Railway Corridor and the
demolition of the International Bridge. A bylaw for borrowing long term is required to authorize
the Region of Niagara to debenture on behalf of the City. A second bylaw for borrowing short tenu
is required to authorize the City to obtain a loan from the City's financial institution. As per Section
188 of the Municipal Act, the City can authorize temporary borrowing by bylaw if the City has
already approved by bylaw an undertaking to be financed by debenture. Staff has prepared bylaws
for the financing of the Acquisition of the CN/CP Railway Corridor and the demolition of the
International Bridge. These bylaws are available for approval given the approval of the
recommendations in this report.

Re: 2002 Budget
Please be advised that the process of preparing the 2002 City Budget may not be completed on
December 10, 2001, as originally planned.
At present, Staff is continuing the process of compiling the data and budget reviews will take place
as planned. Also, the deputations from the various agencies, boards and commissions will be
received as per the 2002 Budget Schedule.
However the compilation of the final budget may be delayed due to the lack of some significant
information at the present time. Staffwill expedite as best possible the gathering of all necessary
information.
Yours truly,
