Including

his

for
today's
council
meeting
well
good
morning.
Colleagues
and
members
of
the
public
and
the
media
Bienvenue
hotel
de
ville.
Welcome
to
our
city,
us
the
2019
city
budget.
Today
we're
pleased
to
table
the
draft
2019
budget
for
consideration
and
public
input.
The
tabling
of
the
budget,
as
many
of
you
know,
is
the
single
most
important
discussion
we
have
at
the
city.
Senate
discuss
you'll,
appear
Potok
news
of
all
this.
C
I
found
that
residents
often
have
competing
expectations
regarding
the
city's
budget.
However,
they're
also
realistic
about
the
city's
fiscal
capacity.
They
know
we
have
to
set
a
limited
number
of
priorities
while
of
course
living
within
our
means.
This
year
is
particularly
challenged,
given
the
compressed
timeline
resulting
from
the
municipal
election
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
we're
bringing
forward
a
budget
for
2019
that
delivers
on
key
commitments,
namely
reducing
our
infrastructure
gap
by
boosting
our
spending
on
roads
and
sidewalks,
providing
more
affordable
housing
and
making
our
communities
safer
and
more
resilient
available.
C
Named
Canada's
top
tech,
firm
jobs
are
being
created
in
record
numbers
in
our
rural
communities,
high-tech
and
many
other
sectors,
and
our
unemployment
rate
is
at
a
30-year
low.
But
not
everyone
benefits
equally,
and
a
booming
economy
is
contributing
to
a
housing
crunch
and
a
very
low
vacancy
rate,
as
a
city
I
believe
that
we
can
and
should
continue
to
strive
to
reconcile
prosperity
and
generosity.
In
fact,
a
strong
community
in
Bolden's
us
to
be
more
be
both
a
prosperous
and
a
caring
community.
C
It
also
reminds
us
of
our
duty
to
care
for
our
most
vulnerable
residents
in
this
spirit,
I'm,
proposing
that
we
as
a
city
make
a
major
investment
in
housing
and
homelessness
in
2019.
This
investment
will
include
a
15
million
dollar
contribution
to
kick-start
new,
affordable
housing
units
in
2019.
This
includes
ten
million
dollars
in
new
capital
to
the
housing
reserve
fund
and
five
million
currently
available
to
invest.
C
To
use
an
affordable
housing
lens
when
considering
any
development
on
transit-oriented
developments
on
city
property.
Now,
just
last
week,
councilor
McKenney,
our
council
liaison
on
housing
and
homelessness
and
I
met
with
Minister
Bill
Blair.
We
outlined
our
need
for
financial
support,
as
the
city
has
absorbed
cost
to
welcome
refugee
claimants
from
the
United
States,
since
2017
I
am
very
confident
that
the
Government
of
Canada
will
be
reimbursing
the
city
for
these
costs
in
the
coming
weeks
and
I
want
to
thank
Minister,
Blair
and
Minister
Catherine
McKenna
for
their
ongoing
support
and
encouragement
on
this
file.
C
Once
this
funding
is
confirmed,
it
will
go
into
the
housing
reserve
fund
to
further
advance.
The
immediate
construction
of
new,
affordable
units
in
Ottawa
I
will
be
recommending
to
Council
that
every
single
dollar
reimbursed
by
the
Government
of
Canada
for
last
year's
needs
be
added
to
our
housing
new,
build
effort
in
2019
on
top
of
our
investment
of
cash
in
city
land.
This
will
result
in
millions
more
on
top
of
the
15
million
being
invested
this
year
alone
that
I'm
proposing.
C
Obviously
the
City
of
Ottawa
cannot
go
it
alone
in
the
fight
against
homelessness.
Over
the
course
of
the
coming
weeks,
we'll
be
pushing
the
province
of
Ontario
and
the
Government
of
Canada
and
our
local
local
housing
partners
to
agree
on
an
even
more
ambitious
target
that
will
make
an
even
bigger
difference
in
our
local
fight
against
how
fight
against
homelessness
new
to
volt
Hawaii
effect.
A
C
On
the
past
practice,
we
can
anticipate
that
the
city's
15
million
dollar
contribution
to
housing
will
leverage
at
least
the
equivalent
amount
of
new
provincial
and
federal
dollars.
These
efforts
will
lead
to
a
significant
increase
in
the
number
of
affordable
housing
units
built
in
2019
and
2020.
It
is
our
hope
to
improve
construction
of
over
250
new
units
in
2019
versus
120
units
this
past
year.
Our
15
million
dollar
investment
in
2019
would
be
the
largest
municipal
car
into
housing
capital
in
the
city's
history.
C
I
look
forward
to
working
closely
with
all
members
of
council
and
our
council
liaison
on
housing
and
homelessness.
Catherine
McKenney,
that's
you
study,
chair
of
och,
genocides,
chair
of
community
and
Protective
Services,
Committee
and
Jan
harder,
chair
of
planning
and
all
members
of
council
on
this
key
initiative.
Ottawa
community,
housing
or
och
is
a
key
city,
housing
partner
and
it
will
soon
launch
their
10-year
plan.
I
understand
that
och
has
ambitious
goals
to
leverage
available
funding
to
significantly
expand
the
number
of
affordable
units
across
Ottawa
I
work
to
commit
I.
C
Mark
of
the
city
of
Ottawa's
10-year
housing
and
homelessness
plan.
Since
the
induct
introduction
of
the
plan
in
2014,
we
have
built
446
units
of
new,
affordable
housing
and
supportive
housing
with
another
442
units
in
various
stages
of
development.
We
created
761
new
housing
subsidies,
both
rent
supplements
and
housing
allowances,
and
new
funding
in
28
through
it
through
the
home
for
good
program,
will
fund
an
additional
300
units.
In
addition,
we
invested
62
million
in
social
housing,
repairs,
retrofits
and
programs
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
C
And
focuses
on
moving
people
experiencing
homelessness
from
the
streets
or
shelters
directly
into
permanent
housing
of
their
choice,
with
the
supports
they
need
since
April
2015.
This
program
is
housed
882
housing,
first
participants
with
a
very
positive
92%
housing
retention.
Success
rate
will
also
be
funding
over
26
million
dollars
going
to
housing
and
homelessness
agencies
in
2019
for
case
management,
housing,
loss
prevention
and
operating
funding
for
supportive
housing.
Some
of
this
funding
directly
supports
our
168
people,
who
have
exited
emergency
shelters
in
four
different
supportive
housing
projects.
C
Examples
include
cornerstones,
new
42
unit
building
for
women
that
opened
this
past
fall
and
other
projects
with
Ottawa
Salus
mol
for
Renaissance
and
the
John
Howard
society.
Now
important
progress
has
also
been
made
in
child
care.
In
the
last
year,
new
provincial
and
federal
investments
of
thirty
four
million
dollars
have
provided
new
fee
subsidies
for
approximately
two
thousand
more
children
in
our
city.
This
is
significantly
reducing
the
wait
list
in
providing
additional
funding
to
child
care
service
providers
for
increased
access
and
affordability
for
families
across
all
parts
of
Ottawa.
C
One
example
of
these
social
service
brought
is
the
14
community
houses
that
deliver
services
to
almost
14,000
children,
youth
and
their
families
living
in
challenged
socioeconomic
neighborhoods.
The
city
is
currently
completing
a
review
of
community
funding
and
consultation
with
our
community
partners,
so
that
agencies
are
better
positioned
to
respond
to
the
growing
and
emerging
needs
of
residents.
We
look
forward
to
the
resident
their
recommendations
coming
forward
later
this
year.
Let's
review
the
phenols.
C
Ottawa
City
Council
endorsed
the
creation
of
a
woman
and
gender
equity
strategy.
The
draft
budget
includes
an
investment
of
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars,
including
one
staff
position
to
advance
equity
and
inclusion
for
all
in
April
2018.
The
city
also
developed
an
84
item,
work
plan
to
improve
long
term
care
facilities
and
better
support
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
Our
senior
citizens,
approximately
80%
of
residents
living
in
City
long
term
care
homes,
suffer
from
some
form
of
dementia.
C
Laughing
resulted
in
over
1,300
additional
hours
of
direct
care
per
week
for
the
717
residents
living
in
City,
long
term
care
homes,
bringing
the
number
of
hours
residents
receive
to
the
provincial
norm.
The
2019
draft
budget
for
the
city's
long-term
care
facilities
includes
major
investments
to
ensure
levels
of
care
are
consistent
with
other
homes.
At
Ontario
budget
19
includes
2.8
million
for
base
funding
for
the
35
personal
support
workers
hired
in
2018
1.2
million
to
fund
11
full-time
positions
to
support
direct
resident
care
staff,
supervision
and
quality
improvements
in
the
homes.
C
1.2
million
in
compensation
for
sick
leave,
modified
duty
and
outbreak
cover
off
to
increase
staffing,
to
help
our
seniors
and
650,000
in
capital
to
advance
the
lifecycle,
replacement
of
furniture
and
equipment.
These
investments
will
allow
us
to
improve
the
quality
of
services
and
safety
of
our
residents,
providing
greater
confidence
and
peace
of
mind
for
residents
and
their
families
now
decent,
affordable
housing
is
an
important
part
of
our
ability
to
feel
safe
and
fully
participate
in
our
city's
social,
economic
and
cultural
life.
C
There
are
other
ways
that
our
ear
city
is
investing
to
keep
residents

Community
Day.
All
security
tape,
I've
laid
out
a
commitment
to
hire
54
paramedics
over
the
next
four
years.
Budget
90
2019
makes
a
down
payment
on
this
commitment
by
adding
14
frontline
paramedics
this
year.
This
will
boost
ER
boost,
bolster
rather
our
efforts
to
reduce
wait
times
and
our
fast-growing
suburbs.
C
Rural
communities,
the
budget
dedicates
640
thousand
dollars
towards
replacing
fire
equipment
and
technology
systems
for
our
firefighters.
Also
I'll
maintain
my
support
for
the
additional
85
new
police
officers
over
the
course
of
the
coming
term,
which
includes
the
additional
10
officers.
Council
was
asked
to
fast-track
by
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
in
the
summer
of
2018,
we're
also
providing
support
to
crime
prevention
Ottawa
to
strengthen
ongoing
crime
prevention
initiatives.
C
Now,
council
is
also
aware
that
the
city
has
had
to
cover
o-p-s
annual
deficits
for
the
last
three
years
for
a
total
total
one-time
contribution
of
over
twelve
million
dollars
in
the
last
term
of
council,
over
60%
of
the
new
FTEs
in
the
entire
city
went
to
the
police
service.
Judas
was
on
posts

C
This
includes
investing
in
better
housing
and
investing
to
support
a
frontline
men
and
women
in
uniform
when
fedko
meets
in
to
consider
its
budget
on
March
I'll
be
recommending
that
fedko
reduced
the
one-time
contribution
to
the
o-p-s
from
four
point:
eight
million
to
2.4
million
and
here's
how
I
propose
the
council
allocate
the
remaining
2.4
million.
The
first
2
million
gets
added
to
our
citywide
commitment
to
fast-track
our
affordable
housing
investment.
C
The
remaining
400,000
is
to
be
set
aside
to
support
community-based
initiatives
led
by
our
city's
nonprofit
organizations
to
deliver
programs
for
at-risk
youth
in
communities
throughout
the
city.
The
1-year
community,
funding
stream
will
allow
allocate
funds
to
those
organizations
that
have
a
realistic
plan
and
on-the-ground
proven
capacity
to
engage
our
youth
so
that
we
can
offer
them
a
lifetime
of
opportunity,
not
a
lifetime
of
jail.
The
duvall
fail
period.
We.
C
To
expedite
the
introduction
of
red
light
cameras
from
3
units
to
6
units
as
soon
as
operationally
feasible
by
speeding
up
the
introduction
of
these
red
light
cameras,
an
additional
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
revenue
will
be
generated.
My
motion
will
seek
counsels
concurrence
to
allocate
the
additional
revenue
to
the
police
service
to
help
offset
ongoing
operational
pressures.
These
motions
are
brought
forward
with
an
offer
of
collaboration,
the
Ottawa
Police
Service
board
to
make
to
work
with
the
city
to
find
more
efficiencies
in
their
budget.
C
I
notice,
councillor
Dean's
also
brought
forward
a
motion
to
that
effect
and
I.
Thank
her
for
that.
I
propose
that
the
city
manager
and
treasurer
meet
with
o-p-s
in
the
coming
weeks
to
explore
opportunities
to
save
money
in
the
back
office
and
to
work
together
on
budget
solutions
to
protect
our
ongoing
investment
in
the
hiring
of
frontline
officers.
I
sincerely
believe
that
our
teams
can
and
will
work
collaboratively
to
bridge
this
gap,
which
represents,
by
the
way
just
less
than
1%
of
the
o-p-s
budget.
C
We
need
to
explore
efficiencies
and
possible
partnerships
with
the
City
of
Ottawa
to
eliminate
duplication
and
streamline
back-office
functions.
We
must
take
advantage
of
economies
of
scale
and
leverage,
City
expertise
and
human
resources,
facilities,
management,
information,
technology,
legal
services,
payroll
and
other
supporting
functions.
I
also
commit
to
counsel
to
work
closely
with
the
o-p-s
board
to
secure
more
funding
from
upper
levels
of
government,
as
has
been
promised
by
both
the
province
of
Ontario
and
the
Government
of
Canada.
C
A
council
to
keep
a
sharp
focus
on
our
fight
against
crime,
while
making
the
key
investments
in
housing
and
support
for
youth
at
risk
in
our
communities.
Now
I,
like
you,
knocked
on
over
tens
of
thousand
thousand
doors,
some
of
you
probably
knocked
on
more
doors
than
I
did
during
the
last
campaign,
and
I
certainly
heard
loud
and
clear
that
people
want
us
to
invest
more
in
our
cities,
roads
and
basic
infrastructures
such
as
sidewalks,
the
condition.
C
In
roads,
bike
lanes,
sidewalks
and
facilities
will
increase
by
9.8
million
dollars
this
year,
bringing
us
to
128
point
five
million
invested
in
2019
alone.
That's
a
significant
increase
of
8%
over
2018
in
2019.
The
road
resurfacing
budget
will
be
49
million
dollars
up
from
the
yearly
average
of
thirty
five
point:
five
million
over
the
last
term
of
council.
This
investment
in
road
resurfacing
includes
six
point:
six
million
for
Shatan;
a
drive,
st.
Joseph's,
Boulevard
and
appall
away
in
Orleans;
eight
point:
five
million
for
Anderson
roads,
st.
C
Six
point:
five
million
for
Mitch
Owens
Road,
a
gal
Road
River,
Road
farmers
way
in
Shiloh,
Crescent
and
Osgood
and
1
million
to
surface
roads,
including
Eagleson,
Road
and
hope
side
road
in
Kanata
south.
Secondly,
those
are
just
a
small
sample
of
the
roads
by
the
way.
Secondly,
our
rural
infrastructure
investments
will
reached
40
2.7
million
in
2019,
up
from
the
four-year
average
of
39
point
7
million.
C
For
example,
our
rural
investments
include
3.8
million
to
design
or
construct
42
culverts
and
retool
Goulburn
and
4
million
to
design
and
build
47
culverts
and
1.6
million
to
renew
the
fitzroy
harbour
bridge
in
West
Carlton
March.
Now,
because
of
these
disinvestment,
the
existing
infrastructure
funding
gap
could
be
fully
addressed
within
the
next
five
years.
Instead
of
the
projected
10
years,
without
adding
any
new
debt
to
the
city
budget,
a
circle
device.
F
C
Huge
member
accounts
members
of
council
to
stay
the
course
on
this
priority
and
get
the
job
done
to
finally
eliminate
the
infrastructure
deficit
facing
our
city
once
approved.
The
city
will
also
invest
22.9
million
in
2019
to
start
widening
strand
hers

step
into

shoes

have
never

I'll
continue

will

to
be
part

2019
will
be
a

year
for
transit
as
they
prepare
to
launch
the
Confederation
line.
The
three
point:
five
percent
increase
will
help
to
address
these
additional
pressures
and
provide
additional

This
budget
also
reflects
a
2.5
percent
increase
in
transit
fares
on
July
1
2019,
which
translates
to
an
effective
increase
of
only
one
point:
two:
five
percent
for
the
year.
The
annual
additional
taxation
revenues
from

At

H
Okay,
this
next
graph
shows
the
sources
of
funding
for
the
three
point:
six
billion
user
fees
and
service
charges
of
eight
hundred
and
eighty-one
million,
which
includes
the
revenue
from
the
water
bill
and
property
taxes
of
1.8
billion
are
the
main
sources
of
revenue
to
support
the
operations
of
the
city,
property
taxes
and
payment
and
Lua
taxes
make
up
more
than
fifty
two
percent
of
the
city's
revenues.
The
704
million
shown
for
the
federal
and
provincial
funding
represents
all
the
grants
that
are
directed
toward
particular
services,
such
as
social
services,
childcare,
long-term
care
and
others.
H
Fte
summary,
the
slide
shows
the
staffing
requirements,
changes
for
the
2019
budgets,
community
and
social
services
would
increase
by
47
FTEs
to
address
requirements
for
435
personal
support
workers
and
11
frontline
support
staff.
There
is
also
an
increase
of
14
paramedics
to
help
maintain
response
times
across
the
city.
50%
of
the
cost
is
funded
from
provision
from
provincial
revenue.
The
increase
for
Ottawa
police
service
includes
30
additional
officers
for
traffic
enforcement,
violence
against
women
and
community
policing.
H
There
are
also
increases
in
public
works
to
maintain
new
or
expanded
infrastructure,
and
the
reductions
in
transit
FTEs
are
the
results
of
transition
to
light
rail
in
2019.
This
is
a
net
reduction
of
108
FTEs
that
takes
into
account
the
reduction
of
aw
bus
operators
offset
by
addition
of
rail
and
bus
service
expansion,
resource
requirements.
H
H
The
three
percent
overall
tax
revenue
increase
plus
the
three
point:
five
percent
increase
in
the
transit
levy
generates
another
forty
nine
point:
six
million
user
fees
and
charges
are
six
point:
nine
million,
including
the
two
point:
five
percent
transit
increase
on
July
1st.
This
reflects
regulatory
inflationary
increases
to
fees
and
additional
interest
earnings.
The
increase
of
matching
funding
from
provincial
cost-sharing
is
four
point:
nine
million
primarily
to
cover
paramedics
and
employee
and
social
services
in
developing
the
draft
budget.
H
One
of
the
first
steps
is
to
review
the
previous
year
where
there
were
costs
or
revenue
increases
or
decreases
that
we
had
not
anticipated
but
are
of
a
permanent
nature.
These
are
adjusted
and
any
one-time
revenues
are
removed.
This
table
shows
the
key
factors
from
2018
that
will
have
an
impact
in
2019
FTEs
that
were
partially
funded
last
year
and
need
to
be
funded
for
a
full
year
in
2019.
H
3.7
million
in
penalties,
interest
investment
income
and
Provincial
Offences
revenue
was
added
to
reflect
the
fact.
These
sources
of
revenue
have
increased,
there's
also
a
6.2
million
adjustment
to
transit
operations
to
reflect
efficiency,
savings
and
4.5
million
in
various
one-time
reversals
and
finding
adjustments,
such
as
the
1
million
for
pothole
repairs.
H
Next,
we
identify
the
cost
to
maintain
the
services
that
we
are
already
providing.
Labor
costs,
as
usual,
are
the
largest
increase
overall,
and
this
has
to
be
expected.
Given
the
fact
that
47%
of
overall
costs
in
the
city
are
related
to
labor,
the
inflation
in
materials
and
contracts
is
budgeted
at
20
point
7
million
per
the
directions
report
that
was
approved
by
council.
We
are
contributing
9.8
million
towards
infrastructure
renewal
to
accelerate
the
timeframe
required
to
close
the
infrastructure
funding
gap
over
the
next
five
years.
H
This
nine
point-
eight
million-
equates
to
one
percent
of
the
citywide
tax.
The
inflationary
increase
for
capital,
renewing
renewal
funding
is
the
contribution
to
capital
to
keep
up
with
inflation,
ensure
that
we
are
not
losing
ground
in
terms
of
what
is
needed
for
capital
spending.
The
inflation
factor
used
for
2019
is
6
percent,
which
is
in
line
with
the
Ottawa
construction
price
index
increase
last
year.
H
At
the
time
of
the
report,
annual
funding
for
tax
supported
capital
was
125
million,
but
the
need
was
195
million,
leaving
an
annual
funding
gap
of
70
million.
Since
then,
we
have
reduced
that
gap
to
50
the
9.8
million
that
is
included
in
the
2019
budget,
gets
added
to
the
capital
contribution
based
budget,
and
if
we
continue
this
way,
each
subsequent
budget
adds
an
additional
9.8
million
to
the
base
with
no
new
debt.
Until
the
remaining
50
million
annual
funding
gap
is
eliminated
in
2024,
the
cost
of
growth
are
22
million.
H
The
budget
includes
an
additional
6.5
million
contribution
to
the
housing
reserves
to
be
used
for
affordable
housing
investments
combined
with
the
8.5
million
in
various
various
existing
reserves,
such
as
the
housing
reserve,
development
charge,
Reserve
and
the
iah
fund.
This
results
in
the
potential
total
investment
in
affordable
housing
to
15
million.
H
This
can
supplement
any
additional
funds
received
by
the
federal
and
provincial
governments.
1.5
million
is
added
to
the
winter
maintenance
budget
to
maintain
the
approximately
two
hundred
linear
kilometres
of
new
roads,
50
linear
kilometres
of
sidewalks,
being
added
in
2019
1.2
million
to
long-term
care
for
the
additional
11
support
staff.
1.1
million
for
additional
paramedics
there's
also
an
additional
700,000
for
solid
waste
for
growth
in
the
number
of
households
for
curbside
and
multi
residential
waste
pickup,
the
1.2
million
for
traffic
red-light,
camera
and
parks.
H
Growth
includes
the
10
additional
school
crossing
guards
and
three
additional
red-light
cameras.
There
is
6.2
million
for
the
additional
police
officers
and
support
staff
at
police
services,
as
per
the
long-range
financial
plan.
There's
an
additional
1
million
contribution
to
capital
for
renewal
of
assets,
taking
into
account
growth
in
the
asset
base.
The
2.1
million
for

is
primarily
for
bus
service
expansion.

The

increase
proposed
for

and
13%
for
storm
services,
as
identified
in
the
long
range
financial
plan.
The
increase
in
revenue
is
projected
to
be
20
point
4
million
and
is
based
on
a
slightly
higher
water
consumption
projection
of
8.4
miu
million
cubic
metres
versus
the
81
million
budget
in
2018,
like
the
tax
budget,
the
rate
budget
has
to
be
balanced
and
this
additional
revenue
is
offset
by
additional
expenditures.
H
The
increase
of
3.1
million
to
maintain
operations
is
primarily
for
compensation
and
benefits,
increases
and
inflation
on
materials
and
supplies.
The
capital
contribution
is
increasing
by
17.3
million
for
all
services
in
total,
which
is
in
line
with
the
long
range
financial
plan
for
rates
supported
capital,
because
this
is
such
a
capital
intensive
service.
The
most
significant
increase
is
in
the
contribution
to
capital.
We
will
now
look
at
the
capital
budgets.
H
The
capital
budget
reflects
various
plans
approved
by
council,
including
the
transportation
master
plan.
The
development
charges,
background
study
in
the
lrf
p5
that
assessed
the
state
of
repair
of
all
the
capital
assets
and
recommended
a
plan
for
closing
the
infrastructure
gap.
These
plans
have
all
been
incorporated
into
the
proposed
capital
budget
for
2019
debt
is
used
in
this
budget
within
the
limits
established
by
counsel
debt.
H
H
The
tax
supported
capital
budget
for
2019
includes
transit,
police
services
and
library.
The
budget
totals
767
million
dollars,
as
mentioned
earlier.
This
budget
reflects
the
recommendations
from
the
long-range
financial
plans
for
tax
and
rate,
increasing
contributions
to
capital
to
reduce
the
infrastructure
gap
over
the
next
five
years
for
tax
and
for
rate.
19
percent
of
the
investments
are
in
transit,
23
percent
for
water,
wastewater
and
stormwater
services
and
20
percent
for
integrated
roads
projects
which
represented
13
percent
last
year.
This
reflects
the
increased
investments
in
roads.
H
The
proposed
767
million
capital
budget
is
funded
from
a
variety
of
sources,
but
cap.
Basically,
it
is
cash
and
debt.
The
reserves
portion,
which
is
cash,
is
funded
for
contributions
to
capital
on
both
the
tax
and
rate
side.
This
makes
up
62%
of
the
funding
for
capital.
There
is
also
development
charge:
cash
and
debt
for
fund
growth
to
fund
growth
projects
in
total,
there's
150
point
five
million
in
new
debt
Authority
that
is
required
to
fund
the
proposed
2019
capital
program.
H
The
next
two
slides
breakdown,
the
capital
spending
to
a
lower
level
of
detail
for
tax
and
rate
between
renewal
growth
and
regulatory
or
service
enhancement,
initiatives
for
tax
supported
capital.
The
total
Authority
is
five
hundred
and
three
million
sixty
two
percent
of
this
new
authorities
for
renewal
26%
for
growth
and
12
percent
for
other
initiatives.
H
Sixty
port
four
percent
of
this
amount
will
be
funded
from
capital
reserves
or
cash
and
17
percent
from
debt.
The
remainder
will
come
from
government
funding
and
development
charges
for
eight
supported
capital.
The
total
Authority
is
264
million.
Eighty
percent
of
rape
capital
investments
are
for
renewal
of
assets
and
only
19
percent
for
growth
and
one
percent
for
other
initiatives.
More
than
fifty
nine
percent
of
the
264
million
will
be
funded
from
capital
reserves
or
cash
and
25
percent
from
death.
H
This
slide
provides
a
forecast
for
the
2019
year-end
reserve
balances.
This
reserve
structure
has
been
revised
to
reflect
a
new
format
combining
the
operating
reserves
and
capital
reserves
by
source
of
funds.
The
tax
Stabilization
Reserve
is
a
combination
of
previous
reserves
such
as
the
winter
maintenance,
child
care,
self
insurance
and
election
reserves.
H
H
Well,
budget
reserves
overall
are
projected
to
decrease
slightly
from
420
6.4
million.
Two
hundred
401
million
significant
decreases
for
the
transit,
and
this
is
only
because
we
have
been
building
the
reserves
in
transit
in
anticipation
for
the
shitty
city
share
of
the
spending
that
will
be
required
in
2019
for
light
rail.
H
Lastly,
on
the
budget
timetable,
we
have
the
committee
board
and
Commission
budget
meeting
scheduled
on
February
14th
running
until
March
5th.
It
is
at
these
meetings
that
individuals
can
ask
about
particular
items
in
the
budget.
All
the
information
is
available
on
the
website
and
the
public
is
invited
to
come
out
to
a
committee
meeting
to
discuss
what
is
of
concern
to
them
to
provide
comments
on
the
draft
budget.
Residents
can
email
budget
at
Ottawa,
CA
or
contact
their
local
ward.
H
Councillor
Council
will
meet
on
March
6
to
consider
the
draft
budget
in
any
recommendation
stemming
from
the
committee
commission
and
board
budget
meetings,
and
then
it
is
at
this
point
that
the
budget
will
be
adopted.
In
conclusion,
mr.
mayor
I
want
to
offer
my
thanks
to
senior
management
and
staff
that
have
supported
this
budget
process.
In

so
councillor,
Dean's,
welcome!
Good
morning
the
Avenue.
J
Thank
you
good
morning,
mr.
mayor
and
good
morning,
colleagues
before
we
get
to
the
budget,
I
do
want
to
take
a
quick
moment
to
recognize
that
our
last
Ottawa
Police
Services
Board
meeting
our
chief
gave
official
notice
of
his
retirement.
This
May
chief
bordello,
has
had
a
distinguished
policing
career
spanning
35
years.
J
The
chief
has
led
our
city
through
a
number
of
difficult
files
and
I
want
to
thank
him
for
his
dedicated
service
to
this
city
and
to
its
residents
and
at
this
morning's
Police
Services
budget
meeting,
it
was
made
official
that
Director
General
Deborah
Fraser
will
also
be
leaving
her
post
at
the
end
of
April.
So
I
also
want
to
thank
Deborah
for
her
dedication
and
valuable
service
to
the
Ottawa
Police
Service.
We
will
miss
both
of
these
leaders
and
I
guess
next
year,
I'll
be
sitting
up
here
by
myself.
J
Now,
before
I
hand
over
the
budget,
presentation
to
chief
bordello
I
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
provide
my
colleagues
with
a
bit
of
context.
The
Ottawa
Police
Services
Board
gave
the
chief
direction
to
bring
us
back
a
real
budget,
a
budget
that
shows
what
investments
are
needed
to
keep
our
community
safe,
and
that
is
what
will
be
presented
to
you
this
morning.
As
the
chair
of
crime
prevention
Ottawa,
as
the
other
hat
I,
wear
I
recognize
that
investments
in
prevention
are
an
important
part
of
Community
Safety
CP
o
has
also
requested
additional
funds.
J
I
welcome
the
mayor's
acknowledgment
this
morning
of
the
very
real
and
urgent
need,
especially
related
to
youth
programming
and
housing.
We
can
all
appreciate
the
difficult
task
that
Police
Services
face,
and
it
is
important
that
we
understand
the
reality
of
our
city.
It
is
also
our
responsibility
to
ensure
that
everything
has
been
done
to
mitigate
the
overall
police
requirements
on
the
city
budget
to
the
extent
possible.
J
That
is
why,
this
morning,
when
this
budget
was
tabled
at
the
Ottawa
Police
Services
Board,
meeting
I
gave
direction
to
the
chief
to
bring
back
a
budget
options
list
to
our
finance
and
Audit
Committee.
Meeting
later
this
month,
we
will
strive
to
meet
the
mayor's
suggestion
of
ducing
the
budget
asked
by
2.4
million
dollars.
J
The
direction
specifically
outlines
that
these
options
cannot
impact
our
frontline
police
services,
but
it
will
give
us
a
chance
to
sharpen
our
pencils
and
see
what
opportunities
are
available.
There
are
many
competing
priorities
in
a
city
like
ours,
but
there
can
be
no
greater
priority
than
keeping
our
residents
safe
with
the
escalation
in
street
violence.
Our
community
expects
no
less
I
invite
all
of
you
to
attend
our
finance
and
Audit
Committee
meeting
on
February
20th.
Well,
we
will
look
at
that
options
list
and
deliberate
over
the
budget.
Make
a
recommendation.
E
You,
chair
genes
a
good
morning,
Bonjour
death
to
us
and
just
too
a
good
morning
to
all
privileged
to
serve
this
community
for
35
years
and
a
distinct
pleasure
to
serve
as
your
chief
for
the
past
seven
years
and
to
Deborah
Fraser
as
well.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
It's
been
an
honor
to
serve
with
you.
We
are
pleased
to
be
here
today
to
table
the
2019
draft
budget
to
the
c2
City
Council.
The
context
in
which
we
police
is
always
changing
locally,
as
well
as
at
the
provincial
and
national
level.
E
Our
members
work
in
an
increasingly
fluid
and
difficult
environment,
I'm
proud
of
the
work
they
make
a
difference
each
and
every
day
to
protect
all
of
us.
We
see
the
complexity
of
their
job
in
a
mall.
In
almost
every
area
we
work
there
are
changing
crime
and
social
disorder,
issues
that
neighborhood
levels
and
new
demands
for
service.
E
We
are
seeing
new
legislative
and
oversight
trends
impact
the
work
we
do
and
adding
work
pressures,
societal
and
Democrat
demographic
changes
have
led
to
new
and
changing
training
requirements,
new
types
of
equipment
and
new
investigative
techniques,
trust
in
policing
and
community
perceptions
continue
to
be
an
issue
requiring
an
investment
in
resources
to
work
with
our
community.
We
are
enhancing
our
approach
to
community
policing,
I
want
to
reiterate
to
council
and
the
public
on
our
commitment
to
community
policing,
an
approach
that
we
are
legislated
to
employ.
E
However,
we
have
her
clearly
and
recognize
that
we
have
a
gap
which
we
are
addressing.
Our
business
plan
is
used
to
ensure
that
we
are
identifying
and
adapting
to
the
trends
we
see
and
that
we
stay
focused
on
our
strategic
priorities.
The
reality
is
that
these
changes
usually
require
more
police
intervention,
training
and
equipment.
Very
rarely
do
we
see
our
responsibilities
reduced.
Even
the
legalization
of
cannabis
required
an
increase
in
training,
drug
recognition,
experts
and
others
who
can
spot
impaired
driving
on
our
roads
without
the
necessary
investments
upstream.
E
Police
are
one
of
the
public
institution
impacted
by
having
to
respond
to
social
disorders
24/7.
It's
my
job
as
your
chief
of
police
to
put
forward
a
budget
that
prepares
our
service
to
meet
the
challenges
of
our
community
both
now
and
into
the
future
and
I
believe
we
have
done
that.
This
budget
provides
us
with
the
resources
we
need
to
continue
to
take
on
gun
violence,
to
respond
to
emergencies
like
tornadoes
or
mass
casualty.
Events
like
we
saw
in
January.
E
It
also
ensures
that
we
have
the
members
ready
to
deploy
for
large-scale
searches
for
missing
people.
As
you
were
heard,
one
of
our
priorities
in
this
budget
is
to
enhance
our
capacity
to
deal
with
neighborhood
based
issues,
to
address
traffic
concerns
and
to
ensure
that
we
are
properly
staffing
our
investigative
units
that
deals
with
violence
against
women.
We
will
continue
to
need
to
manage
large-scale
protests
and
events,
and
we
will
also
continue
to
be
required
to
deal
with
increasing
needs
related
to
mental
health
and
substance
use
disorder.
E
Our
service
is
made
up
of
almost
2,000
individuals
who
are
committed
to
the
safety
and
security
of
our
community.
I
have
named
just
a
few
of
the
functions
that
they
do
in
service
to
our
community.
A
significant
component
of
our
2019
budget
pressures
involves
maintaining
services,
there's
also
a
need
to
respond
to
demands
for
enhancing
our
services.
We
are
also
addressing
historical
budget
base
shortfalls.
Adding
a
small
front
desk
civilian
casualty
deal
with
peak
volumes
for
reporting.
We
want
to
continue
supporting
our
members
by
continuing
progress
made
on
our
member
wellness
initiative.
E
We
continue
to
move
forward
with
the
board
approved
conducted
energy,
weapon
expansion,
the
modernization
roadmap,
the
radio
project
and
our
facility
strategic
plan.
We
are
also
managing
our
fleet
costs
and
continue
our
work
plans
associated
whether
equity
diversity,
inclusion
programs
and
our
trust
and
policing
initiative.
Unasked
director
general
fraser
to
continue
the
presentation,
Thank.
G
So
three
sources
of
revenue
were
identified.
The
first
one
is
revenue
from
the
additional
red
light
cameras
being
installed
as
part
of
the
go
forward
program.
That's
what
will
contribute
ongoing
revenue
of
0.5
million
dollars
this
year
and
probably
grows
in
the
future
one-time
withdrawal
of
four
point:
eight
million
from
the
tax
Stabilization
Reserve
and
a
grant
that
we
received
from
the
province.
Sorry
from
the
feds
through
the
province
can
be
booked
for
a
half
a
million
dollars
in
2019.
So
it's
together,
that's
five
point:
eight
million
dollars
worth
of
Revenue
and
it's
reduced.
G
The
the
budget
asked
from
five
point
one
percent
to
3
percent,
but
it's
a
key
part
of
of
what
we
placed
in
front
of
you
and,
as
you
can
hear,
from
the
discussion,
we've
been
directed
to
go
back
and
look
to
see.
How
can
we
can
refine
that
even
further
using
efficiency?
An
other
program
requests
so
we'll
be
doing
that
in
the
coming
week,
when
now
I'd
like
to
have
a
look
at,
can
walk
you
through
the
complete
budget.
G
G
The
board
has
approved
some
programs
that
continue
this
year
and
the
chief
identified
a
couple
of
them,
including
the
expansion
of
conducted
energy
weapons
to
all
members,
the
red
light,
the
ongoing
red
light
camera
revenue
is
acknowledged
there.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
roughly
twelve
point
one
million
dollars-
that's
required
this
year
to
maintain
the
level
please
service
enhancement,
a
police
service
comes
about
primarily
through
the
30
officer
increase.
That's
a
three
point:
seven
million
dollar
impact.
G
G
The
capital
side
of
the
budget
is
quite
simple.
We
generally
were
in
the
the
30
to
40
million
dollar
range
when
we
have
projects
like
the
South
facility,
and
you
see,
phase
2
of
the
south
at
eighteen
point,
two
million.
That
brings
us
up
then
above
our
usual
kind
of
capital
budget
level.
The
South
facility
be
funded
primarily
from
debt,
the
remainder
of
our
projects,
the
replacement
of
assets
at
about
eight
point,
four
million
and
our
strategic
initiatives,
which
are
the
fund.
G
C
Thank
you
very
much
and
as
councillor
Dean's
mentioned
to
both
you
chief
Barlow
and
director
general
Fraser,
thank
you
for
your
decades
of
service
to
first
the
Gloucester
Police
and
then
the
Ottawa
police,
and
as
our
chief
and
director-general,
we
wish
you
the
very
best.
I
just
spoke
with
Chuck
and
I
said
he
I
know
he
looks
forward
every
year
to
coming
to
budget.
It's
like
going
to
the
dentist.
I
think
was
the
reply.
So
we
have.
These
are
very
high-level
questions,
don't
get
into
the
weeds
folks.
C
B
Murray
and
thank
you,
a
chair
and
and
chief
I
had
a
bit
of
a
sneak
preview,
if
you
will
earlier
this
morning
of
the
budget,
and
so
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
chair
and
the
chief
for
bringing
the
direction
and
accepting
the
direction
because
I
think
the
the
budget
as
proposed.
You
is
not
sustainable.
At
the
rate
that's
proposed
I,
don't
think
it's
sustainable
to
take
from
the
tax
Stabilization
Fund.
Even
before
effectively
the
budget
year
has
started.
B
I
think
we
need
to
find
a
better
way,
a
more
sustainable
way
going
forward
rather
than
payments
over
the
next
three
years
and
a
proposed
tax
rate
of
4.1%
increase
but
again
I'm
very
heartened
by
the
fact
that
chief
and
I
had
discussions
the
other
day
and
and
I
think.
As
my
mom
used
to
say,
if
there's
a
will,
there's
a
way
and
I
think
there's
definitely
a
will
here.
B
My
question
has
to
go
and
I
the
direction
provided
or
given
by
councillor
Dean's
earlier
this
morning
and
referenced
in
your
comments,
and
that
is
as
part
of
that
direction.
Will
we
get
a
complete
breakdown
for
review
and
discussion
of
all
the
options
that
you
have
looked
at,
whether
you
agree
with
them
or
not?
In
other
words,
will
we
see
everything
that
was
put
on
the
table,
so
we
can
have
a
fulsome
discussion
of
all
the
alternatives
that
may
be
out
there.
B
A
You,
your
worship,
okay,
in
in
a
small
part
of
my
ward,
Belle's
corners.
We
had
two
shootings
and
a
murder
in
the
space
of
10
days,
and
the
public
was
in
the
during
the
election
was
clearly
calling
for
enhanced
Police
Service
to
be
one
of
the
three
top
priorities.
So
here
today
we
hear
that
the
12
million
plus
is
basically
a
maintain
budget.
So
I'm
wondering
how,
within
this
you
have
the
flexibility
to
address
the
needs
associated
with
that
kind
of
activity.
A
E
Mayor
one
of
the
issues
that
we
heard
loudly
is
a
gap
in
service
with
respect
to
working
closer
with
our
community
and
identifying
community
issues
and
pleased
to
report
that
part
of
the
xxx
growth
in
2019
includes
10
officers
and
the
striking
up
of
a
community
response
team
that
will
be
dealing
with
neighborhood
based
issues
to
complement
the
work
that
our
our
Police
Center
officers
are
doing.
Their
patrol
officers
are
a
pivot
team
that
works
on
guns
and
gangs
issues.
G
E
But
we
continue
to
move
forward
to
ensure
that
our
all
our
members
are
Qi
treated
equitably
with
respect
to
those
those
opportunities
part
of
the
budget,
as
well
as
we
formalized
our
office
for
equity,
diversion
inclusion,
where
we
have
two
full-time
staff
members
at
this
point,
and
that
initiative
is
a
pillar
of
our
new
business
plan
moving
forward.
As
far
as
the
work
we're
doing
on
those
pieces
and
deputy
chief
huduhe
Jaswal
will
be
leading
that
work.
E
We've
also
done
a
we're
in
the
midst
of
doing
a
diversity
audit
to
ensure
that
there
are
racialized
officers
are
also
don't
feel.
As
though
they've
been
system,
there
aren't
any
systemic
issues
on
the
recruiting
front
as
well.
We
continue
to
advance
ensure
that
we
are
attracting
and
reaching
to
to
women
and
racialized
members
and
indigenous
members
of
our
community
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
be
a
more
proactive
and
reflecting
the
community.
We
serve.
