Burden Director of Finance RECOMMENDATION: For the information of the City Council. BACKGROUND: The 2002 Budget was based on several assumptions. The assumptions were developed into budgets for revenues and expenses. The budgets have been compared to actual results for the period January 1 to June 30. Staff has prepared summaries for revenues and expenses which show the comparison between the actuals and budgets for the 2001 and 2002 revenues and expenditures for the six-month period. REVENUES TAXATION: The 2002 final levy for the Residential, Pipeline, Fannlands and Managed Forests properties was approximately $1.1 million more than 2001. The increase resulted from the 1% growth in assessment ($173,000) and the 5.5% tax increase ($983,000). The Region and Education portions for 2002 are approximately $892,000 more than 2001. The 2002 final levy for the Commercial, Multi-Residential and Industries properties was not completed until August 7, 2002. For 2001, the final levies for all classes was not completed until after June 30, 2001. As a result, the comparison to budgets and last year's actuals is incomplete due to the timing differences of final levies. WASTE MANAGEMENT: The final levy for the uncapped classes included the majority of the waste management flat tax for 2002. The balance was billed with the final levy for the capped classes. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerk's Finance · Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning & Development September 16, 2002 - 2 - F-2002-51 PENALTIES AND INTEREST ON TAXES: The increased income for 2002, versus 2001, can largely be attributed to the year-end increased tax receivables. This increase in receivable balances has produced more penalty and interest revenues than was experienced in the same period in 2001. The increase is slightly greater than the 2002 budget projection of increased penalty and interest revenues. PAYMENTS IN LIEU OF TAXATION: Provincial regulations govern the weighted sharing of payments in lieu of taxes paid to municipalities for tax exempt properties. The 2002 receipts are less than the 2001 comparison; the timing of the receipts are dependent upon the discretion of the P.I.L. property owners. GRANTS AND SUBSIDIES: The Community Reinvestment Fund grant is paid quarterly to the City from the provincial government. LICENCES, PERMITS AND FEES: These combined revenues have increased by $2.8 million which reflects several of the assumptions as reported in the 2002 Budget. Most of the anticipated revenues are comparable to the 2001 experience. In addition, new revenues were realized from the rental of the City's election vote tabulators and the collection of street end lease payments. The increase year-to-year is mostly attributed to the collection of the Casino building permit; this income will necessarily be attributed to this year and 2003, 2004. Also note the new revenues from arena concessions and seniors centre. LAND SALES: The land sale to Metro Development was completed in February 2002 for $400,000. RESERVES FUNDS, RESERVES AND SURPLUS: The 2002 Budget was based on a dependance of Reserve Funds and Reserves. To date, this source of revenue has been partially called upon to fund Current Operating Expenditures. REVENUE SUMMARY: The revenue for the six-month period January 1 to June 30 is si~cmificantly more for 2002 when compared to the revenues received in the same period in 2001. This difference is due to the expected increases in revenues, but mostly because of the timing difference for final tax levies. EXPENSES COMMUNITY SERVICES: Expenditures for 2002 are more than 2001 by approximately $1.6 million. This difference resulted from the timing differences of transferring operating funds to capital uses and expected increases in expenses. AGENCIES, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS: Expenditures for 2002 are less than 2001 by approximately $18,000. This difference resulted from the timing differences in payments to or on behalf of the various recipients. CORPORATE SERVICES: Expenses for 2002 are more than 2001 by approximately $975,000. This difference resulted from the timing differences of transferring operating funds to capital uses and expected increases in expenses. September 16, 2002 - 3 - F-2002-51 SALARIES, WAGES AND BENEFITS: For the first six months, total salaries and wages amounted to $10,168,000 for 2002 compared to $9,724,000 for 2001. Benefit expenditures are greater than 2001 due to the planned increases in benefit expenses. MATERIALS AND SERVICES: Utilities (electricity, gas, water) for 2002 totalled $628,000 approximately $47,000 more than 2001. City has paid its annual premium for general insurance. Vehicle purchases total $176,000. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION: All transfers of operating funds ($3 million) to the Capital Holding accounts have been completed. As capital projects are approved by Council, the approved funding is transferred from the holding accounts to the approved capital projects. DEBENTURE DEBT REPAYMENT: Principal and Interest Payments for 2002 to date total $871,000 of the expected total payment of $1.2 million. New long-term financing ($2.8 million), as approved in the 2002 Capital Budget, has been received and applied to the four approved capital projects. AGENCIES, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS: The total grants to date are approximately $18,000 less than 2001. This is mostly due to the decreased contribution to Niagara Falls Tourism. EXPENSE SUMMARY: Total Expenditures compare favourablyto the 2002 Budget for the period January 1 to June 30, 2002. Changes in expenditures are attributable to Contributions, transfers to Capital uses and expenses for Salaries, Wages and Benefits. Recommended by: K.E. Burden Director of Finance Approved by: T.

Burden Director of Finance Septcnnber 16, 2002 Alderman Wayne Campbell, Chair and Members of the Corporate Services Committee City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Members: Re: F-2002-52 - Municipal Performance Measurement Program RECOMMENDATION: For the information of the Corporate Services Committee and that the information be posted to the City's internet site no later than September 30, 2002. BACKGROUND: For the reporting year of 2000, all municipalities were required to provide the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing with information on the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery in the following nine core municipal service areas: solid waste, water, wastewater, transportation, fire, police, local government, land use planning, and social services. The Municipal Perfmmance Measurement Program (MPMP) initially consisted of 35 broad-level efficiency and effectiveness performance measures. Municipalities submitted their performance measurement data through the Ministry's Financial Information Return. Municipalities were also required to report to their taxpayers on 16 of the 35 measures by September 30, 2001. The City of Niagara Falls provided this information on its website. For the year ending December 31,2001, municipalities will collect data on several measures across nine service areas according to their service responsibility. Over time, it is anticipated that this program will permit year-over-year tracking of overall service improvements. However, until such time as the mandated measures have been the same for two or more consecutive fiscal years, the tracking may not be possible. Given that these measures do not account for varying municipal service levels and several other factors that can affect results, comparison of these results across municipalities is also of limited value and potentially misleading. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerk's · Finance . Human Resources Information Systems Legal Planning & Development September 16, 2002 - 2 - F-2002-52 REPORT Performance Indicators For the year ending December 31, 2001, the City of Niagara Falls is required to measure its performance in the following municipal service areas and report the results to the City's taxpayers.

Operating costs for paved (hard top) roads per lane kilometre. 4. Operating costs for unpaved (loose top) roads per lane kilometre. 5. Operating costs for winter control maintenance of roadways per lane kilometre. Percentage of paved lane kilometres that met or exceeded municipal road maintenance standards; this information is not available, pending the implementation of the pavement management system. 6.

Percentage of land designated for agricultural purposes which was preserved relative to the base year and the number of hectares of land originally designated for agricultural purposes which was re-designated for other uses. September 16, 2002 - 3 - F-2002-52 Reporting Requirements In addition to reporting financial and performance data to the Province in the annual Financial Information Return, municipalities are also required to publish for the taxpayers of the municipality, the results of each of the performance indicators. Results for the year ended December 31, 2001 must be published by September 30, 2002. The publication must at a minimum include the name of the measure, the year to which it relates, and the result. A number of publication methods are available to municipalities including direct mailing, property tax bill insert, notices in newspapers, and posting on the intemet. As was approved last year, staff is again recommending the posting of this report on the City's website. Performance Results Identified as Appendix (A) are the results of the City's year 2001 MPMP performance measures. As required in the publication of the results, each measure includes the name of the measure, the year in which the measure relates and the result of the measure. Also provided, where necessary, are explanatory comments. These comments better explain the measure and corresponding result. It is imperative, however, that where comments are provided, the reader be mindful that these comments form an integral part of the performance measure infom~ation. Over time, it is anticipated that this program will permit year-over-year tracking of overall service improvements. However, until such time as the mandated measures have been the same for two or more consecutive fiscal years, the tracking may not be possible. Given that these measures do not account for varying municipal service levels and several other factors that can affect results, comparison of these results across municipalities is also of limited value and potentially misleading.

Burden Director of Finance Alderman Wayne Campbell, Chair and Members of the Corporate Services Committee City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Members: Re: F-2002-54 - Financial Software Purchase RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Services Committee approve the purchase of financial software fi:om Vadim Computer Management Group Ltd. at a purchase cost of $178,940.00 and an estimated installation cost of $206,130.00, plus applicable taxes. BACKGROUND: Owr the past twelve years, significant changes in computer technology have improved operating efficiencies. Approximately three years ago a search committee was set up comprised of Finance Division and Information Systems Division staff. The committee began the process of determining the Corporation's requirements for financial software for general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, property tax, cash receipts, payroll, human resources and voter registration. A user survey was conducted and responses were analyzed to gather information on user needs. A municipal survey was conducted to gather information on installed fmancial software. After several staff discussions that reviewed the information, the committee agreed that an in-depth investigation was necessary. The committee quickly realized that the investigation reduced the number of financial software vendors that offered pricing within the City's budget and a preferential single vendor solution. The following four vendors were selected to provide demonstrations and costing: Compu-Power Systems Ltd., J.D. Edwards Canada Ltd., Vadim Computer Management Group Ltd., and Vailtech Inc. Only three of the vendors provided the requested costing information; J.D. Edwards did not respond. The committee attended three full-day demonstrations and two half-day sessions. Site visits to existing installations were arranged and the committee had an oppommity to view the software in action and hold discussions with counterparts to determine their satisfaction with the software. Discussions were then held that compared the qualitative differences between the software and the final costing. }Forking Together to Serve Our Community Clerks · Finance · Human Resources · Information Systems o Legal · Planning September 16, 2002 - 2 - F-2002-54 The committee recommends that Vadim Computer Management Group Ltd. be the vendor of a new financial sofavare system for general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, property tax, cash receipts and voter registration. Vadim's core business is developing and maintaining software applications for municipal governments with 26 years of business experience. CONCLUSION: The committee reviewed the needs of the Corporation for financial software and recommends the purchase of new financial software to improve operating efficiencies. The 2002 Capital Budget has sufficient funding from existing capital reserves to purchase and install the financial software. Prepared by: K.E. Burden Director of Finance L.

IS-2002-01 Tony Ravenda Executive Director September 16, 2002 Alderman Wayne Campbell, Chairperson and Members of the Corporate Services Committee City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Members: Re: IS-2002-01 Connecting Niagara Proposal RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council support the Connecting Niagara application to Connect Ontario/GeoSmart for Infrastructure Project Funding from the Ontario Provincial Government and the contribution of $40,540 to be incurred in the 2003 and 2004 budgets. BACKGROUND: Connecting Niagara was initiated in 2000 under the leadership of Niagara College, the BEC(Business Education Council of Niagara) and HRDC(Human Resources Development Canada). Connecting Niagara is a regionally focussed initiative designed to facilitate Niagara residents toward a connected, "smart" community by integrating on-line municipal services, an on-line business directory, and GIS mapping with a Niagara focussed community Portal. The Portal will function as a personal Home Page or "front door" for Niagara residents. Once logged-in to the Portal, a Niagara Resident will be recognised by the Portal and the information presented will be based on the individual's preferences, such as municipal and community information, forms, maps, and services. On behalf of and in cooperation with all Niagara municipalities and the Region, the BEC staffwill manage and maintain all Portal related hardware and software, under the direction of a proposed committee formed of Municipal, Regional, Public and Private sector members, in a secure facility, at Niagara College, with 24 x 7 support. Working Together to Serve Our Community Clerks · Finance · Human Resources · Information Systems · Legal · Planning September 16, 2002 - 2 - IS- 2002-01 The following applications will be implemented over a two year period to increase the level of service to the community, particularly in the areas of registering for recreation programs and booking facilities such as arenas and soccer fields. It is to be noted that implementing any one of the following applications on our own would exceed the total cost of implementing all of the applications through this initiative. * On-line Web-based Request for Service with Tracking * On-line Web-based GIS Viewer Mapping Applications * On-line Web-based Recreational Program Registration with On-line Payment * On-line Web-based Recreational Facility Booking with On-line Payment * On-line Web-based Parking Ticket Search with On-line Payment * On-line Web-based Pet License Renewal/Purchase with On-line Payment * On-line Web-based Business Permit Renewal/Purchase with On-line Payment * On-line Web-based Niagara Business Directory * On-line Web-based Niagara Focussed Community Portal Connecting Niagara, with support from the Councils of all Niagara municipalities and the Region, will be applying to the Ontario Provincial Government's Connect Ontario/GeoSmart program, October 07, 2002, for funding of approximately $2,000~000 towards this $4,000,000 proj eot.

BACKGROUND: The Development Charge By-law of the City of Niagara Falls makes provision for the deferral of the payment of development charges for non-residential developments. This deferral spreads the full payment of the development charge into three parts: (1) 10% at the issuance of the building permit; (2) 25% at the end of one year from the date of permit issuance, and (3) the balance of the development charges within six months of the date of occupancy, or two years from the date of permit issuance, whichever is earlier. Staff recommends that a policy and procedure be established that provides for the payment of deferred development charges. The policy and procedure would request the non-residential developer/owner of the property to provide an irrevocable letter of credit in the name of the City equal to the unpaid portion of the development charges, plus interest to the date of payment as determined by the City Treasurer, and enter into an agreement with the City for payment of the unpaid balance of the development charges. The Committee's concurrence with this recommendation would be appreciated. Recommended by: K.E.
