THE CORPORATION OF HALDIMAND COUNTY 2016 Draft Rate Supported Capital Forecast and

Operating Budget

Introduction/Background:

Prudent management, as well as section 290 (1) of the Municipal Act, requires local municipalities to prepare and adopt annual estimates required for the purposes of the municipality, including amounts sufficient to pay all debts of the municipality falling due within the year, amounts required to be raised for sinking funds, and amounts required for any board, commission or other body. A budget is a guide to ensure Corporate Strategic priorities and departmental business plans are achieved. Annual budget estimates ultimately determine the County’s revenue requirements and the impact on taxation/user rates to County residents.

The County currently develops three (3) annual budgets as follows:

• Rate Supported – includes Water and Wastewater Operating Budget and Capital Budget (including 9 year forecast)

• Tax Supported Capital Budget (including 9 year forecast) • Tax Supported Operating Budget.

Council has approved the following 2016 Budget Timetable:

Draft Budget Review Date(s) Additional/Conditional Dates

Rate Supported Capital and Operating Budget

January 11, 2016 n/a

Tax Supported Capital Budget March 3, 2016 March 4, 2016 (if required)

Tax Supported Operating Budget March 29, 2016 March 30 and 31, 2016 (if required)

The review and approval of the 2016 Rate Supported Budget will provide for the applicable water and wastewater rates required to fully recover the cost of the relevant systems, as none of these costs are funded by property taxes. The review of the 2016 Draft Tax Supported Operating Budget will provide the basis for the 2016 tax levy impacts for tax supported operations.

Legislative Framework and Budget Process:

Legislative Framework:

Haldimand County is responsible for the purification and distribution of potable water to its users and the collection and treatment of the resulting wastewater. This system is fully funded by the users, with no financial support from property taxes. Capital infrastructure is funded from user rates with offsetting funding from Development Charges and financial assistance from other levels of Government when available.

Although more than fifteen years have transpired since the tragic events of a tainted water supply in Walkerton, continued legislative changes have been enacted to ensure safe, clean and affordable potable water is available to people in every community. While there have been a series of legislative changes over this period, many of the principles have remained the same. More recently, with the passing of the Water Opportunities Act in late 2010, this legislation also focuses on water conservation. These continual changes to regulatory requirements have significantly impacted the water and wastewater operations and have adversely impacted the associated rates. Increased staffing and treatment costs have been realized to accommodate the substantial workload to respond to these regulatory requirements and rigorous reporting/enforcement by the Ministry of the Environment. The legislative environment in which municipalities operate is continually evolving, inevitably placing additional constraints and pressures on resources and finances. The ideology of sustainable services and the allocation of limited resources are paramount in the budgeting decisions of all municipalities across the Province.

Although the Municipal Act provides the legislative authority for multi-year budgets, sustainable long range financing principles go beyond “multi-year budgeting” and involve the integration of long range strategic planning with service delivery plans and the appropriate annual budgets to facilitate the financial resources required. With the exception of the regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act, there are limited legislative requirements to develop long range financial plans. The regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act require a financial plan, for potable water services only, covering a period of a minimum of 6 years. The County’s last plan was adopted by Council in January of 2012. These plans need to be updated every five years to coincide with licensing requirements. The County is required to submit a new financial plan with its licensing application to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) in February of 2016. A separate report will accompany the 2016 Draft Rate Supported Budget to meet these financial reporting requirements.

It is generally accepted that municipalities do not currently have the financial resources to fully fund the essential replacements associated with their current infrastructure needs. A recent study estimates that more than 50% of all public infrastructure is provided by local municipal governments. This is a significant change from the early 50’s when local municipal governments represented just over 20% of all public infrastructure. As such, it would take a collaborative effort by all levels of government to be committed to sustained increases in municipal infrastructure investments to ensure municipalities are providing safe, reliable and environmentally responsible services. The current underfunding of government infrastructure investments has been commonly referred to as the “infrastructure deficit” being “the total value of physical infrastructure investments that should have occurred to maintain optimal performance but did not. This would include any delayed rehabilitation and replacement of assets that are worn out”. It is anticipated, through current and future asset management plans, long range funding plans will be developed to fund infrastructure replacements at the optimal time within the available resources, thereby reducing the current “infrastructure deficit”.

With respect to meeting full cost recovery pricing for water and wastewater systems, past studies/surveys indicate the impacts of these legislative requirements are more dramatic on the smaller rural systems that also service large geographic areas (i.e. servicing less than 10,000 customers). Across the Province, there are several systems that fall into this category (i.e. there are more than 600 municipal systems across the Province that have fewer than 10,000 customers). Haldimand County’s water and wastewater systems currently have approximately 9,000 customers and are further hampered by a diverse topography and numerous independent water supply and wastewater treatment networks. These factors can negatively impact the County’s long range financial sustainability plan.

Economic Environment

The financial pressures currently being faced on a global, national and provincial basis will undoubtedly have impacts on the local economy. Based on the National Bank’s November 2015 Economic Forecast, Canada’s annualized rate of change in key financial areas is projected as follows:

Annualized Rate of Change

2012 Actual

2013 Actual

2014 Actual

2015 Forecast

2016 Forecast

Gross Domestic Product 1.9% 2.0% 2.4% 1.2% 1.6% Residential Construction 5.7% (0.4)% 2.7% 3.4% 0.5% Unemployment Rate 7.3% 7.1% 6.9% 6.8% 6.8% Inflation 1.5% 0.9% 1.9% 1.2% 1.7% Prime Lending rate Currently at 2.7%

Recent economists’ reports indicate limited economic growth, low inflation and continued low interest rates for an extended period of time. It is anticipated these impacts will financially affect residents and businesses to varying degrees, such as through wage restraint, closures and cut-backs. Accordingly, these potential impacts have influenced the guidelines and recommendations contained within the 2016 Draft Rate Supported Operating Budget. The affordability of the County’s investments in water and wastewater infrastructure has been heavily weighed against the need to provide safe, sustainable and reliable services to our customers.

Rate Supported Budget Process

An integral part of the budget process is to adopt guidelines to ensure a consistent approach in developing the draft budget. The budget process is a culmination of collaborating efforts between supervisors, managers and senior staff. The budget guidelines establish the framework to develop the proposed budgetary needs to meet existing service levels, as well as identify proposed changes to these service levels. During 2013, the County completed a comprehensive Water and Wastewater Rate study to review cost allocation methodologies and recovery principles for all water and wastewater customers. This review included a series of public consultations as well as review by Council of the principles and the associated impacts on specific users of the water/wastewater systems. Council approved, as outlined in report CS-FI-15-2015 Re: 2016 Budget Guidelines & OMPF Allocation, the following guidelines for preparation of the 2016 Rate Supported Budget:

The principles, as approved during the 2013 water/wastewater rate study, be utilized for preparation of the 2016 Draft Rate Supported (Water and Wastewater) Capital and Operating Budget, including:

• Full cost recovery of all operating and capital costs; • Net costs (i.e. revenues required from rates revenue) will be recovered 50% from fixed

revenues (i.e. basic charges) and 50% from variable revenues (i.e. consumption revenues); • Elimination of reduced Block 2 consumption rate, with phase out ending in 2016; • Leachate costs to be allocated based on relative loading at the treatment plant and recovered

50% from fixed revenues and 50% from variable revenues; • Blended Holding and Septic tank treatment costs to be allocated based on loading and

revenues will include a fixed monthly charge and annual consumption charges to be indexed annually starting in 2016;

• Annual indexing of all miscellaneous revenues based on annual increase of underlying costs.


Page III

The Rate Supported Budget is scheduled to be reviewed by Council on January 11th, 2016. It is recommended that the required rate increases take effect February 1, 2016, upon approval of the draft budget by Council. As outlined in the 2016 Budget Guidelines Report, any additional revenue requirements will need to be captured over 11 months, meaning a slightly higher rate increase than the annualized figure. A. 2016 Draft Rate Supported Capital Budget and Forecast to 2025

Capital Budget Process/Principles

Similar to the Tax Supported Capital Budget, the County’s Rate Supported Capital Budget process has been focused on strategic objectives and long term financial plans. This process provides direction to management when identifying infrastructure needs and implementing a long range financial plan that is sustainable. The County completed a comprehensive Asset Management Plan (AMP) in early 2014 for the following asset categories: roads, bridges/culverts, storm sewer, water and wastewater. The plan included the required annual reserve contributions based on the anticipated cost and timing of replacement of the assets in these categories. This plan identified some annual funding shortfalls, in particularly, the water and wastewater have a deficit of approximately $700,000 (primarily in water). Although this plan was approved in early 2014, it is anticipated to change/evolve over time. The results of both the rate study and AMP will help refine the current long range plan which continues to provide the fundamental basis for the ten year capital forecast.

The 2016 Draft Rate Supported Capital Budget focuses on the following key principles:

• Focus on Replacement/Rehabilitation: Focus on replacement/rehabilitation projects that support the overall objectives of the system and long range infrastructure plan. Using the comprehensive inventory of our current infrastructure needs, a long range financing strategy can be implemented to ensure the system is financially sustainable and affordable.

• Studies/Reviews/Evaluations: Continue comprehensive performance evaluations and condition reviews of the facilities. These evaluations and studies provide the basis for determining future infrastructure needs as well as the timing of these requirements. By identifying physical or operational “bottlenecks”, operational and capital plans can be put in place to address these issues. Several of these recommended improvements are included in the 2016 to 2025 capital budget. Also, continued inflow and infiltration (I/I) studies/reviews are planned to identify sources of extraneous flow. These studies will assist in identifying areas of concern to provide additional future capacity and delay costly infrastructure upgrades/replacements (as well as address lost water management – a component of pending legislative requirements under the Water Opportunities Act).

• Provide Service Capacity for Anticipated Growth: Provide the necessary new/upgraded infrastructure at the critical timelines identified in the long range infrastructure plan based on existing capacity and future needs. This provides a more realistic opportunity to develop a financial plan that is affordable to the rate payers. The ten year forecast focuses on replacement with limited growth funded projects (i.e. approximately 11% of the required funding over the ten year forecast is budgeted from development charges).

Gross Capital Costs Overview

Based on the aforementioned guidelines and principles, the total gross capital costs (for the combined water and wastewater systems) are approximately $70.7 million for the period 2016 to 2025. Relative to the approved forecast in 2015, this represents a decrease of approximately $1.8 million over the ten year forecast (the majority of which is in the first 3 years). As gross capital costs decline significantly in the later part of the forecast (i.e. 2020 to 2025), some non-specific capital costs have been identified in these years. The specifics of these projects will be identified as better replacement information is developed through updates to the County’s asset management plan in future years.

Although the current annual capital requirements are realistic and manageable, given the current customer base, there are replacements (not currently within the current 10 year forecast) that require a long range financial plan to address the associated financial impacts. A long range financial plan to address the replacement of current water and wastewater infrastructure was included as part of the 2013 rate study (the principles from which form the basis for the 2016 Capital Budget and Forecast). As indicated below, there are consistent average gross costs relative to the prior year’s approved budget over the 10 year forecasted period. As identified through the rate study, average gross capital costs were projected in excess of the costs included in the current forecast period and projected additional costs into the future (i.e. 25 year plan).

Estimated Haldimand County Water/Wastewater “Infrastructure Deficit”

It is generally accepted that municipalities do not currently have the financial resources to fully fund the essential replacements associated with their current infrastructure needs. The County’s current capital asset inventory, as reported for audited financial statement purposes, reflects the historical value of the assets, less the accumulated amortization (i.e. value used/utilized over its useful life to date). The resulting “Net Book Value” (NBV = historical cost less accumulated amortization) represents the remaining value of the asset over its remaining useful life. The net book value of assets, as a % of historical cost, is a good financial indicator of the state of good repair of the County’s infrastructure – the lower the percentage, the greater percentage of infrastructure that is nearing its replacement/end of useful life. Based on the audited 2014 financial statements, the County’s net book value of assets (water and wastewater only; excludes tax supported infrastructure) was as follows:

2014 Net Book Value (water and wastewater assets only)

Haldimand

Historical Cost $188,477,493 Net Book value $122,331,959

Percentage 64.9%

The County’s NBV as a % of historical cost has remained relatively constant from 2009 to 2014 albeit trending down over this period (this information has only been reported in the County’s financial statements since 2009). This is a good indicator that capital asset investments have kept pace with utilization of existing assets in relative terms. In comparison to other single tier municipalities in southern Ontario (the Province completes a annual “Financial Indicator Review” of Ontario municipalities – Haldimand is grouped with 28 single tier municipalities in southern Ontario, ranging in size but excluding Toronto), their average NBV as a % of historical cost is approximately 61% over the same time period (Haldimand’s tax supported NBV is approximately 52%). Ultimately, as assets age and near the end of their useful life, the County needs to develop a long term financial plan to meet these requirements.

The County completed a comprehensive Asset Management Plan (AMP) in 2014 for the following asset categories: roads, bridges/culverts, storm sewer, water and wastewater. The plan included the required annual reserve contributions based on the anticipated cost and timing of replacement of the underlying assets in these categories. This plan identified significant annual funding shortfalls, particularly in the roads/bridges and water categories. By utilizing the information from the AMP, an “estimated infrastructure deficit” can be calculated for the County’s water and wastewater infrastructure. Although based on incomplete information (not every single asset is reported for financial reporting purposes) and several assumptions, it provides an indication as to whether the County is currently providing sustainable capital funding to replace the current infrastructure.

Although the above information is based on several assumptions (i.e. rate of inflation, interest earnings on applicable reserves, estimated useful life, anticipated debenture issuances, etc.), it is a good indication that there are definitely future funding issues to be addressed. As capital contributions are the some of debt payments and capital reserve contributions, increased debt payments limit the ability to increase annual reserve contributions. The “draft” asset management plan for water and wastewater also indicates a funding shortfall averaging approximately $600,000 over the forecast period (particularly in water). These estimates provide a fundamental basis to assist in developing future sustainable funding plans that can be evaluated and monitored.

A summary of the planned gross capital costs for Water services is presented below. Although there are limited overall changes, there are significant shifts in timing/scope changes that will affect the long range financing plan (primarily due to the changes in the early years of the forecast – 2016 to 2018). As it is more difficult to predict future years, fewer specifically identified projects are scheduled in the final 6 years of the forecast. More detailed inventory and continued studies will better identify the timing of these related projects.

Water Gross Capital Costs – Overall, there is a consistent focus on replacement/upgrades to existing water infrastructure over the forecasted period. Average annual costs for replacement of watermains are approximately $1.0 million. Annual fluctuations reflect timing of planned replacements with spikes for major replacement/growth related projects (i.e. $2.2 million in 2016 for Jarvis watermain replacement – Main and Talbot streets; coordinated with road works and partially funded from Development Charges). Technical studies and reviews are a key component in maintaining system efficiencies and determining optimal replacement of existing infrastructure. As a result, a consistent and comprehensive multi-year plan has been established over the forecasted period (averaging approximately $65,000 annually). Water plants/transmission system expenditures represent replacement of existing infrastructure over the forecasted period. Average annual costs for replacement/upgrades to plants/transmission are approximately $2.2 million – annual fluctuations would reflect growth related projects funded from Development Charges or one-time significant replacements. There are no such fluctuations/projects planned during the forecast period. Administrative costs represent one-half (50%) of the administrative capital cost and planned meter replacements. As the planned meter replacement program, started in 2015, is scheduled to completed in early 2016, there are limited administrative projects over the forecast period.

Wastewater Gross Capital Costs – As depicted in the chart below, there is also a consistent focus on replacement and upgrades to existing wastewater infrastructure over the forecasted period. Average annual wastewater replacement and upgrade costs is approximately $600,000. Annual fluctuations reflect timing of planned replacements with spikes for major growth related projects (there are no major fluctuations over the forecasted period). Technical studies and reviews are a key component in maintaining system efficiencies and determining optimal replacement of existing infrastructure. As a result, a comprehensive, multi-year plan has been established over the forecasted period (averaging approximately $130,000 annually). Wastewater plants/transmission system expenditures represent replacement of existing infrastructure over the forecasted period. There are major plant repairs/upgrades planned within the first 3 years of the forecast, averaging $3.0 million including enhancements to the Jarvis lagoon totaling $3.4 million over the years 2016 to 2018 and major upgrades at the Dunnville treatment plant (totaling $5.3 million in 2017). Administrative costs represent one-half (50%) of the administrative capital cost and planned meter replacements. As the planned meter replacement program, started in 2015, is scheduled to completed in early 2016, there are limited administrative projects over the forecast period.

Financing Sources

As with the Tax Supported Capital Budget, there are limited financing sources available to the County to fund the necessary infrastructure replacements. As the water and wastewater systems are self-funded from the users, there are limited customers to spread the burden across (approximately 9,000 users in total). As the individual systems are funded specifically from the users of the relative systems (i.e. water users pay 100% of infrastructure costs related to the water system and wastewater users pay 100% of infrastructure costs related to wastewater systems), the funding sources are different for the two systems. The sources of financing for specific projects depend on the availability of funds and the nature of the capital projects. Similar to the Tax Supported Capital Budget, a long range plan was developed independently for water and wastewater infrastructure needs based on the 10 year forecasted costs. As a result, the focus of the 2016 Draft Rate Supported Capital Budget and Forecast is financing, meaning there are no capital projects financed directly from rates. These principles are a major step towards sustainability and lifecycle costing of infrastructure needs – it is the first step in moving from a “cash basis” to an “accrual basis” of funding.

Typically, capital projects are funded as follows:

Replacements/Rehabilitation – These projects are typically financed from the applicable capital replacement reserve (i.e. water and wastewater respectively). Where sufficient reserves are not available, these projects must be debt financed. When available, external sources of financing will be utilized, including grants, recoveries from joint partners or developer contributions. The County’s Capital Financing Principles allocate 50% of the annual Federal Gas Tax funds (Appendix A) to water or wastewater replacements; plant upgrades and the meter replacement program. In addition, master plan studies are funded from the development charges reserve funds as identified in the development charges background study. Replacements at water plants for capital works specific to supplying non-potable water to industry is recovered 100% from the industries supplied by this infrastructure. As outlined in the chart below, the majority of financing over the forecasted period for replacements is funded from the applicable reserve fund (i.e. water or wastewater) and allocation of annual Federal Gas Tax funding (i.e. grants). There is planned new debt for replacement/upgrades related to major water/wastewater treatment plant capital projects over the forecasted period (the magnitude of these projects met the financing principles related to debt financing and could not be accommodated from the existing capital replacement reserve funds).

Plant Upgrades/Enhancement Projects: Typically, these projects are financed from external revenue sources. Enhancements to existing services/processes, not growth related, are internally financed. Development charges are collected for specifically identified projects. External sources of funds may be available as new grants are made available or third party groups partner with the County to initiate these activities. The County currently does not have an established predictable source of new funding for these initiatives other than the development charges collected on the specifically identified projects.


Page VII

Funding Sources – Water: As depicted below, the majority of funding for water capital projects is from the water capital replacement reserve fund (in aggregate, approximately 49% of total funding over the forecast period). Grant funding (i.e. Federal Gas Tax) represents the next largest portion totaling 31%. There is new debt planned over the forecast period which represents approximately 5% of the total financing (related entirely to the Jarvis watermain replacement). There is limited use of development charges (approximately 12% related to growth related share of identified projects). The external funding is primarily related to contributions for capital works undertaken on behalf of industries supplied with raw water from Nanticoke or Port Maitland. These projects are primarily funded 100% from the applicable industries utilizing this infrastructure. Total external funding is less than 4%.

Funding Sources – Wastewater: As depicted below, the majority of funding for wastewater capital projects is from the wastewater capital replacement reserve fund (in aggregate, approximately 66% of total funding over the forecasted period). Grant funding (i.e. Federal Gas Tax) represents a significant portion of the annual funding totaling 10%. The proposed new debt over the forecast period represents approximately 14% of the total funding (debt relates to the plant upgrades in Dunnville in 2017 totaling $4.5 million and the grit removal system replacement in Hagersville in 2021 totaling $700,000). Use of Development Charges is approximately 11% related to growth driven projects.


Page VIII

Grant Funding

As indicated above, the only predictable grant funding is the County’s annual Federal Gas Tax Allocation (our current allocation is approximately $2.8 million per year). As outlined in the capital financing principles, 50% of the annual allocation is applied to water/wastewater capital needs. Of the approximately $14.1 million allocated to water/wastewater capital projects over the forecast period, $10.4 million is allocated to water replacements/plant upgrades and $3.7 million is allocated to wastewater replacements/plant upgrades. As there are currently larger scale plant upgrades planned in water and due to the current funding deficit in water; more Gas Tax funds have been allocated to the water system. Impacts on Reserves and Reserve Funds

As outlined above, reserves and reserve funds are a critical component of a municipality’s long-term financing plan and represent the major financing source for projected future capital projects. Included in the appendices is a summary of the water and wastewater capital replacement reserve funds. Income for these funds is derived from the County’s rate supported operating budget and is used to fund the proposed capital projects included in the 2016 Draft Rate Supported Capital Budget and Forecast to 2025. The following chart outlines the projected balance of the water and wastewater capital replacement reserve funds (impacts on the development charges reserve funds are described in more detail later in this report).

The financing principles approved by Council (included in Appendix A), require the respective reserve funds to remain positive over the forecasted period. In addition, any particular year’s deficit cannot exceed 25% of the annual contributions to the respective reserve. As outlined in the graph above, the projected balances in the water and wastewater capital replacement reserve funds meet the financial principles outlined above; however, the water capital replacement reserve fund has limited funds available after 2020. As there are new debt requirements to fund water related capital infrastructure, starting in 2019 and 2023, the increased debt payments reduce the ability to transfer funds to the applicable capital replacement reserve. Although this is not an issue until 2019, a more comprehensive replacement program is required in future years to identify specific financing needs so that the impacts on the capital replacement reserve can be re-evaluated at that time. Based on the above analysis and the draft asset management plan for water and wastewater; there appears to be a future funding deficit in water only.

As identified during the 2014 Rate Supported Budget and indicated above, the water capital replacement reserve was violating the above noted financing principles. As a result, staff proposed a shift in contributions to capital replacement reserves from wastewater to water, to be phased in over 10 years starting in 2014 (this shift is identified in Appendix B). Overall, annual capital related impacts on the user rates were held to approximately $113,000 or 1.0% of combined rates revenue per year. The impact in 2016 specific to water is $72,000 or 1.3% and for wastewater is $41,000 or 0.7%. Capital related impacts include the combination of annual capital replacement reserve fund contributions and debt repayments. As outlined in Appendix B, It is recommended that increases to these capital replacement reserve funds continue over the forecasted period to offset the anticipated future disbursements, particularly for water. The annual shift in additional contributions to water from wastewater will be phased in over 10 years but limited to a cumulative annual rate increase of 1.0%.


Page IX

Development Charges

During the comprehensive update to the Development Charges By-law in 2014, detailed capital projects and the relative growth related proportions were identified. Incorporated in this analysis is the financing of these requirements over the next 10 and 20 years (10 years for parking, leisure, library, general government, cemeteries and ambulance services; 20 years for roads/bridges, fleet, fire services, water/water and storm sewer). As a result, the projects included in the 2016 Rate Supported Capital Budget and Forecast include the projects outlined in the Background Study for the 2014 update of the Development Charges By-law, as adjusted for revisions, if any, to the originally estimated costs. In aggregate, there is only $3.8 million of growth related water capital projects to be financed from development charges (for the Jarvis water main replacement – approximately $550,000; and the majority of the balance, approximately $2.7 million, represents estimated costs related to future replacements/plant upgrades yet to be identified). Wastewater includes approximately $3.1 million funded from development charges (the majority of which represents enhancements in Caledonia totaling $1.5 million; the next largest balance, of approximately $600,000, represents estimated costs related to future replacements/plant upgrades yet to be identified).

During the setting of the development charges rates in 2014, the anticipated timing of receipts in relation to infrastructure needs was evaluated. As a result, it was anticipated that certain development charges reserve funds would be “negative” over the period covered by the current rates. These shortfalls would be offset by growth related borrowing (“DC Debt”) which would ultimately be collected from future development charges (as these costs are fully self financed). A summary of the water and wastewater development charges reserve funds over the forecasted period is included in Appendix E (which includes the impacts of any required “DC debt”).

Impact on Long Term Debt

As outlined in the Capital Financing Principles, debt financing for rate supported projects is utilized in limited circumstances when insufficient alternative funds are not available.

Existing Debt: Currently the County has outstanding debt related to water and wastewater projects with total remaining principal payments of approximately $7.7 million. The annual debt repayments (interest and principal) are committed over the forecast term and are included in the Net Capital Financing page in Appendix B as part of the overall capital financing.

Proposed New Debt: Over the ten year forecast, there is approximately $6.8 million of new debt issuances required to fund specifically identified projects. New debt for water capital projects relates to replacements of the cast iron watermain in Jarvis, totaling approximately $1.6 million. New debt financed projects in wastewater relate to replacements/upgrades at the Dunnville wastewater treatment facility in 2017, totaling approximately $4.5 million, and an additional $700,000 million at the Hagersville wastewater treatment facility in 2021. New debt to be issued over the forecast term also includes existing projects where construction is to be completed and debt financed in 2016 or beyond. For these projects there are repayments required for debt to be issued in 2016 on previously approved projects totaling approximately $4.7 million, for which payments will not commence until 2017.

Development Charge Debt (“DC Debt”): As outlined above, it is anticipated that new Debt to be recovered from future Development Charges will need to be issued over the forecast period to offset negative cash flows due to timing of Development Charges receipts (i.e. commonly referred to as “DC or growth related debt”). It is anticipated that total new DC debt totaling $9.0 million will be issued over the forecast period. Annual debt repayments for DC debt will be offset by future development charges. All existing and proposed DC debt related payments are included in the Net Capital Financing page in Appendix B as part of the overall capital financing.

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing regulates the level of debt that may be incurred by municipalities - no more than 25% of the total own purpose revenue can be used to service debt and other long-term obligations. It should be noted that, despite the limits imposed by the Province, a prudent municipality in a low growth area would not consider a debt burden to this level. A typical guideline established by municipalities is a 10% maximum.

The following analysis projects the annual debt charges, in comparison to the County’s annual repayment limit (ARL) and in relation to the County’s Financial Principles Guideline of 10% (this analysis also includes the tax supported debt payments as approved in the 2016-2025 tax supported 10 year capital forecast and all proposed DC Debt).


Page X

The above graph includes debt required to offset the timing of cash flows related to Development Charge receipts (typically referred to as “DC Debt”) and offsetting grants for Grandview Lodge Debt (until 2027).

Based on projected annual debt repayments (assuming approximately a 3% increase in net revenues annually), the County is well within its established financing principles of a maximum of 10% of annual net revenues (Municipal sources only). Over the forecasted period, the County’s total debt payments (i.e. DC debt, tax and rate supported) reach a maximum of $7.7 million or 7.0% of annual net revenues in 2019. Given the significant infrastructure requirements, the future use of debt is unavoidable. However, proper debt policies ensure:

• That outstanding debt obligations will not threaten long-term financial stability; • That the amount of outstanding debt will not place undue burden on water and wastewater users; • That the municipality maintains the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities that arise; • Continued investment in long-term infrastructure; • A better matching of the Water and Wastewater user’s cost of financing the proposed project with the

future benefits derived from the infrastructure investment.

B. 2016 Draft Rate Supported Operating Budget

Rate Supported Operating Process and Budgetary Constraints

The environment for water and wastewater operations is very highly regulated and monitored. The County’s treatment facilities are governed by contracts with independent operators who are deemed qualified to meet the stringent legislative requirements. As a result, several financial pressures influence the 2016 Draft Rate Supported Operating Budget that are, to some degree, beyond Council’s control.

In addition to the aforementioned external factors, there are several budgetary constraints that are unique to Haldimand County. The County operates a number of independent systems servicing relatively few users. With only approximately 9,000 users, the County operates four wastewater treatment facilities, four wastewater lagoons, two water treatment facilities, seven water distribution systems and eight wastewater collection systems. Although the majority of the population growth projected during the forecasted period is in these serviced communities, the growth will be phased over the forecast period and concentrated in Caledonia where water is purchased from Hamilton. Additional customers will help spread the costs over more users, however, other factors will impact operations: increased costs for more users, potential loss of large scale industrial customers and change in consumption patterns for all users.

As outlined in the draft budget document, the combined water/wastewater forecasted year end 2015 deficit is approximately $159,000. Annual operations can be impacted by the net costs to be recovered by rates revenues (i.e. increases/decreases in costs or miscellaneous revenue sources). In addition, fluctuations in annual consumption can significantly impact the annual water/wastewater revenues. As a result, to mitigate these fluctuations, the fixed component of the water and wastewater billings was increased to 50% of the total estimated annual revenues starting in 2013 (recovery principles are outlined in Appendix K). The emphasis on fixed revenues (“basic/base charges”) can help alleviate budget variances due to fluctuations in consumption. In addition to this, the County maintains a rate stabilization reserve for both water and wastewater to offset any unanticipated variances.

There were several items with significant 2015 variances that impact 2016 operations as follows:

• Fluctuating annual consumption (particularly industrial and commercial water users); • Hamilton water supply costs impacted by fluctuating volumes; • Variability in leachate treatment revenues (due to fluctuating volumes and Norfolk’s treatment

volumes); • Variable hydro costs at the treatment facilities; • Changes in plant operating agreements; • Increased contributions to capital replacement reserve funds.

2016 Draft Rate Supported Operating Budget Overview

The 2016 Draft Rate Supported Operating Budget, as outlined in this document, represents an overall net increase in total rate revenue requirements of $165,760 or 1.46% compared to the 2015 budget: the water system requires a decrease of $147,820 or (2.57)% in rates revenue; the wastewater system reflects an increase of $313,580 or 5.59% in rates revenue. The relative impact on each system varies: a 1% impact in the water system is equal to approximately $57,000 in user rates revenue while a 1% impact on the wastewater system is equal to $56,000.

The budget summary by major function is outlined below. The impact on the revenues required to be recovered by rates is a function of: change in operational expenditures and a change in miscellaneous revenues (some of which are consumption driven). The applicable rates are impacted by the recovery methodologies and anticipated consumption for the year.

Detailed budget drivers are outlined below.

A. Base Budget Drivers (net)

As indicated above, the total base budget net operating expenditures decreased by approximately $248,500. This net change is driven primarily by increased bulk water revenues (water haulers, New Credit and fire protection charges), increased capital related costs, increased Veolia operating costs and offsetting decrease in contributions to water rate stabilization reserve. The reduction in transfers to the Water Rate Stabilization Reserve has a significant operating impact (more than 5% impact on water rates) and is in line with meeting anticipated required reserve balances – see Appendix J). It should be noted that any major loss of revenues

(i.e. major industrial water user) will likely need to utilize this reserve to mitigate annual impacts. The major detailed net operational impacts are outlined below:

New initiatives are identified in two categories: Council Approved Initiatives and New Initiatives. There are no Council approved Initiatives proposed for 2016. There is only one New Initiatives for 2016 as outlined in Appendix I. The proposed New Initiative has an ongoing operating budget impact. Overall, the net rate revenue impact of these initiatives in water operations is an increase of $28,800 as outlined bellow:

C. Infrastructure Capital Financing Requirements

Overall, water annual capital financing related impacts on the user rates were held to 1.25% in 2016. Capital related impacts include the combination of annual capital replacement reserve fund contributions and debt repayments (as outlined in Appendix B). Essentially, the combined water reserve fund contributions and changes to debt repayments for 2016 increased by $71,880. As indicated previously, it is recommended to maintain an annual combined water and wastewater rate increase of 1.0% dedicated for capital related impacts over the forecasted period, with an annual shift in additional contributions to water from wastewater phased in over 10 years.

B. New Initiatives

New initiatives are identified in two categories: Council Approved Initiatives and New Initiatives. There are no proposed new initiatives for 2016, therefore, the net rate impact is zero.

C. Infrastructure Capital Financing Requirements

Overall, wastewater annual capital financing related impacts on the user rates were 0.63% in 2016. Capital related impacts include the combination of annual capital replacement reserve fund contributions and debt repayments (as outlined in Appendix B). Essentially, the combined wastewater reserve fund contributions and changes to debt repayments for 2016 increased by $41,230. As indicated previously, it is recommended to maintain an annual combined water and wastewater rate increase of 1.0% dedicated for capital related impacts over the forecasted period, with an annual shift in additional contributions to water from wastewater phased in over 10 years.

Impacts on Miscellaneous Rates

As outlined above, both water and wastewater operations are impacted by changing miscellaneous revenue sources. A comprehensive list of all fees and charges is included in Appendix L – Schedule B. The intent is to pass a comprehensive water and wastewater by-law that includes all water and wastewater fees with an effective date of February 1, 2016. The majority of the revenues derived from miscellaneous charges are the bulk processing fees (i.e. bulk water charges and bulk wastewater treatment charges – leachate, holding/septic tanks and portable toilets) and Fire Protection Charges. These fees and recovery methodologies were covered in detail in the 2013 rate study (see Appendix K for the applicable methodologies). The principles adopted as part of the rate study were based on cost allocation methodologies to ensure the users of the systems pay for the full costs of these systems. As outlined and approved in the budget guidelines, there are no planned changes to recovery methodologies in 2016. Water Miscellaneous Revenues Miscellaneous revenues represent approximately $5.9 million in annual revenues in the water system. Of these fees approximately $2.2 million relates to the recovery of costs associated with the provision of non-potable water to industries in Nanticoke; it should be noted that the budget has been developed with no changes to the cost allocations under this agreement. Bulk water recoveries represent total revenues of approximately $1.1 million and the impacts on the end user are outlined below. Fire protection charges represent approximately $2.1 million which includes an increase of $60,820 or 3.0%. The remaining miscellaneous fees total approximately $437,000 and include: water supply charges to New Credit of $189,100 (which is established by agreement as a percentage of the County’s block 1 water rate and includes increased consumption related to the bulk water depot in New Credit); property tax recoveries from industry of approximately $109,000; and miscellaneous charges of approximately $138,900. These miscellaneous fees (excluding the New Credit charge as it is covered by a specific agreement) are all proposed to reflect an annual inflationary increase of 3.0% (rounded where applicable), based on the underlying increase in the associated costs to provide these services (subject to the annual budget review). Ultimately, if the proposed miscellaneous charges are not adopted, the rates to other users of the systems will have to be increased to offset the resulting reduction in revenue. The following summarizes the proposed changes for bulk processing fees: (i) Bulk Water Charges As outlined in Appendix K, Bulk Water charges are based on the methodology outlined in the County’s 2013 rate study as approved by Council. The methodology includes both a “fixed” component and a variable component. The proposed 2016 monthly fee is $16.19 which represents a 3.0% increase, while the volumetric charge is recommended to increase to $2.96 per cubic meter or a 1.1% increase. The monthly administration fee will continue to be billed to all customers with consumption in the applicable month. The majority of the revenues generated from these charges relate to commercial water haulers (approximately 85% to 90% of the water consumption is billed directly to approximately 21 large haulers). The resulting charges represent the sum of the costs to produce the potable water, plus the annual replacement costs of the required capital (both the treatment plants and the specific depots). The rate is determined based on the total consumption from the County’s three dispensing stations. The proposed per load impact on a “typical end user” is as follows:


Page XVI

Bulk Water Rate 2015 2016

Proposed Change

(per cubic metre) ($) (%)

Proposed Rate (charged to hauler) $2.93 $2.96 $0.03 1.1%

Monthly Administration Fee (charged to hauler) $15.72 $16.19 $0.47 3.0%

Per Load Impact on "Typical End User" (3,000 gallon load)

Water Commodity 39.90 40.34 $0.44 1.1%

Estimated hauler delivery charge $72.60 $72.60 $0.00 0.0%

Total "End User" cost $112.50 $112.94 $0.44 0.4%

The following assumptions were used in the above chart: average load is 3,000 gallons (i.e. approximately 13.6 cubic metres); no change in the hauler’s delivery charge (due to reduced fuel charges) and excludes any allocation of administration fee. It should be noted that a customer using one load of 3,000 gallons per month would be equivalent to the County’s 2-year average of 13.6 cubic metres for potable water supplied directly to metered water residents (i.e. typically urban residents). Additionally, rural customers have the ability to reduce their required purchases of water by capturing rainwater for personal use (typically not available to urban residents). In wet seasons, this has the potential of significantly reducing the need to purchase water directly from water haulers. Wastewater Miscellaneous Revenues Miscellaneous revenues represent approximately $2.4 million in annual revenues in the wastewater system. Of these fees, approximately $1.6 million relates to the leachate treatment cost recovery. This represents a decrease of approximately $58,000 due to decreased volumes and relative treatment strength. As the majority of the costs are allocated based on loading; it is anticipated as leachate strength and volumes decline after the closure of Tom Howe, these revenues will decline correspondingly starting in 2016. The associated loading and allocation of costs will be monitored in future years to ensure appropriate costs allocations. The holding/septic tank treatment charges represent total approximately $171,500. This is an decrease of $38,500 in aggregate due to declining volumes despite an increase of 3% in the per cubic meter rate (see analysis of impact on end user below). The remaining miscellaneous fees total approximately $674,000 and include: “overstrength” charges established under the Sewer Use By-law of $145,700; sludge storage charges to Norfolk County of approximately $78,000; transfer from Development Charges Reserve Fund – Sewer of approximately $410,000 for the growth share of debenture charges; and miscellaneous charges of approximately $40,300. These miscellaneous fees reflect an annual inflationary increase of 3.0% (rounded as required), based on the underlying increase in the associated costs to provide these services (subject to the annual budget review). (i) Holding/Septic/Portable Toilet Tank Treatment Charges As outlined in Appendix K and approved by Council during the 2013 rate supported budget review, the recovery methodology for holding and septic tank treatment cost allocation is to allocate the full operating costs associated with these services to the applicable users. Similar to other fixed/miscellaneous fees, it is recommended to increase the “fixed” monthly charge to $16.19 or 3.0%. The volumetric rates apply equally to all septic, holding tank and portable toilet waste treated at the County’s facilities. When the rate study was approved, Council amended the proposed recovery methodology to exclude specific capital costs associated with this service. As a result, there were no funds to replace any capital failures/repairs/maintenance which will impact the County’s ability to provide this service in the future. During 2015 budget review, Council evaluated options to continue to provide this service and recover the full costs associated therein (i.e. recovery of capital replacement costs) to ensure the sustainability of this service. From this review, Council approved the closure of the Caledonia septage receiving station and recovery of capital costs at the Dunnville receiving plant to provide the necessary capital funding to sustain this service into the future. In addition, all future rates will be indexed similar to other miscellaneous fees. Based on Council’s recommendation, the 2016 rates have been increased by 3.0% similar to other miscellaneous fees. Despite the increase in volumetric rates, the annual revenues are expected to decrease by $38,500 due to steadily declining volumes. Holding/septic volumes treated on an annual basis has declined steadily since 2010 (from a high of 24,000 cubic meters to a projected volume of 12,700 cubic meters in 2016). It appears septic volumes have leveled off with total annual volumes of approximately 1,800 cubic meters. Holding tank volumes continue to decline and are expected to be approximately 11,000 cubic meters fro 2016. Norfolk County has undertaken a similar rate study in 2015 with significant rate increases proposed for septic/holding tank treatment costs. This may have positive impacts on future treatment volumes as local customers search for alternative solutions.


Page XVII

The impact on the holding/septic tank rates for 2016 is as follows:

Holding/Septic/Portable Toilet Tank Treatment Charge 2015

2016 Proposed Change

(per cubic metre) ($) (%)

Proposed Rate (charged to hauler) $13.13 $13.52 $0.39 3.0%

Monthly Administration Fee (charged to hauler) $15.72 $16.19 $0.47 3.0%

Per Load Impact on "Typical End User" (2,000 gallon load)

Treatment Cost $119.35 $122.90 $3.55 3.0%

Estimated hauler delivery charge $87.70 $87.70 $0.00 0.0%

Total "End User" cost $207.05 $210.60 $3.55 1.7%

The proposed administration and treatment fees are paid by all customers that discharge holding tank/septic/portable toilet waste to County treatment facilities (i.e. Dunnville and Caledonia). As this represents only a handful (6 to 7) of commercial haulers, the cost to the end user (i.e. household) includes additional haulage charges. To determine the per use impact on the “typical end user” (i.e. predominantly rural residents), the following assumptions were used: average load is 2,000 gallons (i.e. approximately 9.1 cubic metres); and no change in the hauler delivery charge (due to reduced fuel charges). The impacts on specific users will vary considerably based on the number of times a year this service is required. Impacts on Rates

Water and wastewater rates are impacted by the net revenue requirements, as well as the anticipated consumption by the affected users. As a result, although additional revenues may not be required, anticipated consumption can increase/decrease the relative rates correspondingly (i.e. increased consumption will decrease rates; decreased consumption will increase rates). Given there are different users of each system (i.e. there are approximately 200 water only customers and approximately 100 wastewater only customers), the funding of these two systems must remain autonomous. The rate revenue consumption assumptions are outlined in Appendix K. For 2016, the water users are required to generate approximately $5.6 million, which represents an decrease in water rate revenue requirements of (2.57)%. These revenues are collected by a combination of base water fixed fees and volumetric consumption charges per cubic metre consumed. As outlined in Appendix K, one of the principles adopted as part of the rate study was to increase the relative portion of the “fixed”/base fees. As the costs of the systems are approximately 50% fixed, the fixed component of the billing is set at 50% of the total revenues. This fixed component will help to offset any fluctuations in revenues due to shifts in annual consumption patterns. The County is also continuing to phase out the Block 2 declining consumption rate over ten years, ending in 2015 (i.e. 2016 is first year with no reduced Block 2 rate). As a result, the impact on Block 2 water users is higher than Block 1 users. The required rate revenue for the wastewater users is approximately $5.9 million in 2016, representing an increased requirement of 5.59%. Similar to water customers, these revenues are recovered through a combination of basic wastewater charges and volumetric charges based on the water consumed (other than those users that qualify for the Wastewater Discharge Program – which allows for billing based on a wastewater meter). The fixed component is also set at 50% of the total rate revenue requirement. As there are several customers with water service but no corresponding wastewater service (particularly large industrial and commercial customers), the rate model compensates for these deviations. As water and wastewater operations are recovered 100% from the applicable users, changes in consumption patterns can shift the burden to different users. Although setting the fixed component of the bill at 50% will assist in offsetting future shifts in consumption, approximately 21% of the County’s total water consumption is derived from 2 major industrial users (includes 4 separate locations). As a result, any fluctuations in their operations can cause large revenue shifts on the volumetric portion of the billing. The following outlines the estimated consumption for 2016:

* as verified Summer 2015

The number of users was verified by audit/reviews of detailed customer information in the summer of 2015. This resulted in updated customer numbers and verified service sizes for basic charge purposes. The number of customer for budgeting purposes reflects the totals from our in-year review. Any new customers during the year should result in favourable variance in basic charges (average ”new services” has been 75 new customers per year over the past 4 years). The resulting decrease in overall consumption will have a negative impact on the rates. In particular, the large industrial consumption can fluctuate significantly based on changing operations (i.e. closures/labour disputes) and possible conversion of operations to different water sources (i.e. potable water to raw water). Given the current reliance on these industries and potential negative impacts of uncontrolled reductions in water consumption, an estimated reduction in current useage has been projected for 2016. This reduction reflects current operations and consumption experienced during other labour disruptions/closures/slowdown time periods. This will help offset any potential large consumption changes in the future. The consumption of these industries will be closely monitored on a go-forward basis. The balance in the current Water Rate Stabilization Reserve (Appendix J) will provide some relief to offset any negative consumption impacts as they become known.

* as verified Summer 2015

Similar to water, the number of users was verified by audit/reviews of detailed customer information in the summer of 2015. The number of customer for budgeting purposes reflects the totals from our in-year review. Any new customers during the year should result in favourable variance in basic charges (average ”new services” has been 75 new customers per year over the past 4 years).


Page XIX

Similar consumption projections were utilized for wastewater customers with corresponding reductions for large industrial customers (one of the large industrial customers has water only and operates its own wastewater lagoon). The resulting decrease in overall consumption will have a negative impact on the rates for 2016 as outlined in the average customer impacts below. The resulting 2016 rates are included in Appendix L in the budget document. The proposed rates would be effective on all billings for consumption effective February 1, 2016. The intent is to implement rate changes as early in the year as possible to provide the users with a more predictable increase (i.e. one rate increase at the beginning of each year). Additionally, this would provide the flexibility to change the rates during the year to offset anticipated in-year shortfalls as the case may be. As a result of the proposed changes, the effective monthly impact on selected standard services is as follows (for bulk services – water and wastewater – based on a “per use” basis including treatment and transportation):

Note: Average consumption for various users has been updated to reflect current average consumption by customers in the related categories. Specifically: average residential consumption has been decreased from 20 cubic meters per month to 15 cubic meters; no change to average commercial users, and industrial users reflects a 4” service vs. an 8” service and monthly consumption has been reduced to 4,000 cubic meters from 25,000 cubic meters. The comparisons in Appendix N also reflect these changes.

The majority of residential customers have both water and wastewater services and will see a modest increase in their overall monthly costs as a result of the proposed 2016 rates. The impact on commercial and industrial is slightly higher due the final phase-out of block 2 rates. Overall bulk water rates have remained fairly constant on a per use basis. Holding/septic tank customers will experience overall increases relative to the inflationary increase of 3% on treatment costs for 2016. Future Impacts/Budget Constraints Although the County has consistently established the Rate Supported Operating Budget as full cost recovery from the users of these systems (i.e. no property tax revenues support the water or wastewater operations), there are some areas that still require assumptions and projections that could impact future rates. In addition, as a result of changing legislative environments, operating costs can fluctuate year to year. These will have varying effects on future budgets; and it is anticipated that, through future reviews and closely monitoring actual results, impacts can be minimized. These future issues include:


Page XX

• Impacts of Reduced Consumption at Large Industrial Users – As indicated above, reduced consumption at the 4 large industrial operations (2 separate owners) could have significant impacts on future rates. These users currently represent approximately 15% of total water rates revenues and 9% of wastewater revenues in 2015. In addition, Raw Water revenues account for approximately $2.2 million in cost recovery, not all of which could be eliminated if consumption was eliminated.

• Maintenance Costs Associated with OPG Water Intake – The current budget does not include any future costs associated with the shared water intake at OPG that has been traditionally maintained by OPG.

• Tangible Capital Asset Reporting and Long Range Asset Management – A comprehensive inventory of water and wastewater assets will identify the infrastructure needs for long range infrastructure planning.

• Ongoing Performance Evaluations of Facilities - Facility reviews and needs studies may impact future timing of required infrastructure replacements.

• Leachate Treatment Revenues – As the County transitions from landfill operations to a transfer station, the treatment of leachate from these closed landfills will decline over time and affect the revenues generated from the applicable treatment. This will ultimately shift costs to other users of the systems thereby affecting future rates.

• Available Balances in Rate Stabilization Reserves – The availability of balances in rate stabilization reserves will be a major factor in the ability to offset/mitigate any of the above factors in a given year or over a planned timeframe. These balances need to be managed and monitored to ensure sufficient reserves are available.

All of these items could have substantial financial impacts on future County budgets and/or user rates. As these issues are resolved or completed, a more strategic and long range financial plan can be developed and implemented. Conclusion/Recommendations In light of the current economic times and from a financial perspective, the 2016 Draft Rate Supported Capital Forecast and Operating Budget is fiscally responsible and based on sound financial principles. There are significant investments in rehabilitation/replacement of infrastructure while maintaining the integrity of the water and wastewater system. Continual revisions to the operating budget process will help the County better allocate resources to manage its operations and develop a long range financial plan with predictable water and wastewater rates. It is, therefore, recommended that Council adopt the 2016 Draft Rate Supported Capital Forecast and Operating Budget and associated revisions to user rates and miscellaneous fees and charges.

Debt Financing

Annual debt repayments will not exceed 10% of own source revenues. Debt will only be applied to projects under the following principles:

Gross Project Costs < $1 million: Not eligible for debt

Gross Project Costs between $1 Million and $10 Million : Debt financed for a period of 10 years.

Gross Project Costs > $10 million and asset life >20 years: Debt financed for a period of 20 years.

- if the DCRF results in a negative balance, a review of significant DC funded projects will occur to review for potential DC debt issuance

Engineering components less than 25% of project cost, if initiated more than 2 years before construction, will not be eligible for debt financing.

DC debt will be applied under the following circumstances:

- projects where issuing debt for County share of project, and development charges funding is applicable, DC debt will be considered if insufficient development

charges receipts are available.

to be utilized for to provide a source of funds for land purchases, building construction or major capital improvements to County-owned buildings.

Development Charges reserve funds will remain positive in aggregate over the 10 year forecast.

Allocate 50/50 between water/wastewater and tax supported capital projects. Apply to incremental projects, new/enhanced services. Gas Tax will be used in

order to avoid debt financing. Need to ensure the project meets eligibility requirements for Gas Tax funding.

to be utilized for to provide a source of funds for acquisition (50%) and development (50%) of public parks, recreation facilities and trails.

HALDIMAND COUNTY

Principle

2016 DRAFT CAPITAL BUDGET AND FORECAST

CAPITAL FINANCING PRINCIPLES

As available based on eligibility of funds

Municipal Drains based on legislative assessment. Partnership with community groups based on Community Partnership Framework for new service/enhanced

infrastructure projects, or acceleration of replacement of infrastructure.

Based on agreed cost sharing principles

upgrades from standard to decorative streetlights will be funded by BIA or community group, based on $650/light

Capital Replacement Reserves/Reserve Funds will have a positive balance at the end of the 10 year forecast. Interim financing during the forecast will not exceed

25% of annual contributions in any given year. All projects requiring interim financing will have interest charges applied to the capital project.

As the intention of this program is to assist municipalities in funding critical projects identified within their Asset Management Plans in the eligible “core infrastructure” areas,

and as the County’s current Asset Management Plan (AMP) identifies funding needs within the core infrastructure areas of Roads, Bridges, and Water, with the largest

infrastructure deficit shown within the roads program, this funding will be utilized within the roads program for 2015. Future year’s allocations will be assigned to eligible capital

projects through the annual capital budget review process.

NOTES:

Includes interest earnings and/or financing charges based on DC Background Study formula

Development Charges revenue forecasts calculated per the 2014 Development Charges Background Study

Potential Debt repayment may be required related to future major replacements currently shown as;

- Future Wastewater Main Projects (2020 through 2025)

- Future Watermain Replacements (2020 through 2025)

- Plant Capital Improvements - Wastewater (2020 though 2025)

- Plant Capital Improvements - Water (2020 through 2025)

Incorporated in this analysis is the financing of development related expenditures over the next 10 and 20 years (10 years for parking, leisure, library, general government, cemeteries and ambulance services; 20 years for

roads/bridges, fleet, fire services, water/water and storm sewer). It should be noted that at the end of this forecast period, the estimated balances in the reserve funds will be positive.

As it was anticipated that certain Development Charges reserve funds would be “negative” over the period covered by the current rates, these shortfalls would be offset either by external borrowing (“DC Debt”) for larger

projects and internal borrowing for smaller projects: future debt payments (internal or external) would ultimately be collected from future rates (as these costs are fully self financed).

The Dunnville Low Volume Dispenser (LVD) was originally a free fill tap on Main St W. until 2000 when the current LVD was installed at the Dunnville Depot. The Jarvis

LVD also began as a free water fill tap at the Nanticoke Water Treatment Facility until 2003 when the current LVD was installed at the Jarvis Depot. It is estimated that

the LVD's service customers within a 15 km radius of the water depot stations. Over the past few years there have been multiple incidents of vandalism and theft

occurring, with increased frequency over the past two years. The Jarvis LVD has been repaired six times and replaced four times with the most recent occurring in 2014.

The Dunnville LVD has been vandalized and broke into five times since July 2014. The units currently in place are no longer manufactured so any future replacements

would require installation of entirely new units which would be costly. There is a significant cost to the County for the operation and maintenance of these units. Staff time

associated with the LVD's is equivalent to approximately 496 hours per year including the retrieval and delivery of quarters to Kohler by operations staff, counting, rolling

and bank deposits of the quarters by office staff and the maintenance and repairs (both during and after normal work hours) of the units themselves, all of which result in

lost productivity/efficiencies in the systems and job functions of the associated positions.The staff time impacts coupled with the repair/replacement costs have resulted in

the revenue being generated by the LVD's no longer covering the costs associated with them. The cost of addressing the vandalism is being borne through the self

insurance reserve with the result that the Water and Wastewater experience rating for the allocation of the internal insurance premium is being negatively impacted.

There are a number of businesses in Dunnville and Hagersville that provide fill stations for the public such as the Dunnville Avondale, Dunnville & Hagersville Home

Hardware stores, Dunnville Giant Tiger and Hagersville Foodland. It is recommended that the LVD's be decommissioned and this service no longer be provided.

Budgeted Annual Contribution as a % of Rates Revenue 2.93% 2.82% 2.49% 2.74% 3.00%

Utilizing historical deficits data, it is prudent to ensure a reserve balance of 25% of rates revenue; this is a 4 year plan to ensure the annual contribution is approximately 3% of rates revenue.

For Wastewater, the anticipated ramp up is not expected to occur until 2017.

If the balance within the reserve is greater than 25% for four years in a row, the additonal amount will be contributed to CRRF to assist in offsetting potential increases required for the capital program and implementation of asset

management.
