So
we're
now
back
on
the
agenda
to
page
three,
the
budget
for
2013.
F
G
You
also
for
your
commitment
to
make
this
city
a
better
place
where
to
live
work
and
have
a
family.
I
also
want
to
thank
our
city
manager,
the
assistant
city
managers
and
the
treasurer
who
everyday
work
relentlessly
to
provide
the
services
that
are
so
important
to
our
residents.
Our
businesses
and
areas
came.
F
To
visit
me
and
other
members
of
council,
when
we
did
our
mall
tour
a
pre
budget
consultations
in
September,
it's
always
good
to
hear
directly
from
citizens
who
do
not
always
have
the
time
or
inclination
to
attend
a
formal
City,
Council
committee
meeting
or
a
public
forum.
There
is
a
gentleman
who
suggests
that
we
cut
our
workforce
and
have
greater
investment
in
industry
to
create
jobs,
and
this
budget
does
that
there
was
a
new
student
at
Carleton
University,
who
wants
us
to
spend
more
money
to
clean
up
the
Ottawa
River.
F
Our
money
is
ready
to
roll
we're
just
waiting
for
our
federal
and
provincial
partners.
Grandparents
told
me
that
they
were
happy
about
the
fries
and
Parks
and
Recreation
fees,
because
it
allowed
their
grandchildren
to
enroll
sport
and
dance
classes.
Others
said
to
keep
bus
fares
down,
while
some
wanted
to
see
salaries
frozen
at
one
of
the
rural
fairs.
I
attended.
F
One
gentleman
from
West
Carlton,
who
was
involved
with
a
4-h
club,
asked
why
we
could
not
make
their
annual
$5,000
grant
permanent
rather
than
having
to
fill
out
an
application
each
and
every
year
for
the
same
amount.
For
the
same
work,
good
idea
and
we'll
make
it
happen
and
I
think
councilor
else
interior
as
well.
For
that,
as
always
lots
of
ideas
and
opinions,
all
of
the
input
is
appreciate.
F
It
and
most
people
also
understand
that
we
cannot
do
everything
all
at
once,
but
they
appreciate
our
desire
to
listen
and,
in
general,
told
me
that
the
direction
this
council
has
laid
out
is
good.
Earlier
this
year
we
asked
staff
to
raise
the
bar
another
notch.
In
our
effort
to
control
tax
pressures
on
our
residents,
we
set
a
maximum
limit
of
2.0
percent
for
any
rate
increase
in
2014
I'm
happy
to
be
able
to
tell
you
that
budget
2014
will
see
us
hole
the
law
into
an
increase
of
1.9
percent.
F
This
figure
will
be
the
lowest
rate
increase
in
seven
years
at
the
City
of
Ottawa.
I
can
also
report
that
our
partners,
Ottawa
police
services,
transit
services,
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
and
Ottawa
Public
Health
have
once
again
constrained
themselves
within
Council's
maximum
increased
cap.
The
same
will
apply
to
transit
fare
increases
that
I'm
pleased
to
report
that,
pending
the
approval
of
the
Transit
Commission
average
fare
increases
will
be
kept
21.9%
a
far
cry
from
the
7.5
percent
of
four
years
ago.
Japan
goal
in
Milan
police
daily,
so.
G
F
This
budget
will
see
a
continuation
of
the
freeze
on
mayor's
office
and
councillor
office,
administrative
budgets,
as
well
as
on
my
own
salary,
and
for
the
fourth
consecutive
year
we
will
maintain
a
freeze
on
Parks
and
Recreation
fees,
making
life
a
little
more
affordable
for
parents
and
families
with
children
and
league
sports
or
fitness
programs,
and
for
all
who
take
part
in
any
of
the
hundreds
of
City
classes
offered.
Budget
2014
also
proposes,
for
the
third
year
in
a
row
a
reduction
of
55
FTEs
full-time
equivalents
at
the
City
of
Ottawa.
F
This
continued
focus
on
reining
and
staff
growth
comes
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
we're
also
adding
new
facilities
to
provide
more
services
to
our
residents.
The
bar
Haven
Minto
recreation
complex,
will
require
63
new
FTEs
as
we
begin
operations
in
this
magnificent
new
facility
later
next
year,
and
I
should
also
note
that
we
are
all
looking
forward
to
the
official
opening
of
the
rich
Craft
Recreation
Complex
in
Canada
later
this
year.
This
great
new
facility
represents
a
40
million
dollar
investment
on
behalf
of
and
to
support,
Kannada
and
West
Carlton
residents.
F
G
F
Be
more
than
fifteen
million
dollars
with
ten
point
four
million
coming
from
the
citywide
portion
of
the
budget.
Now,
as
a
council,
we
have
been
prudent,
we
have
invested
wisely
and
Ottawa
on
the
move.
For
instance,
we
have
restrained
tax
increases
while
continuing
to
provide
good
basic
services.
The
people
really
need,
and
our
measured
approach
will
pay
dividends
to
the
city
in
the
future.
The
budget
maintains
the
City
of
Ottawa
strong
fiscal
position.
Our
credit
remain,
ratings
remain
high
and
unchanged.
F
Moody's
has
provided
its
highest
rating
at
triple-a
and
Standard
&
Poor's
is
Double
A,
plus
the
treasurer
is
reported
that
Ottawa's
net
total
debt
per
capita
as
second
lowest
amongst
major
cities,
including
Toronto
Vancouver,
Edmonton,
Calgary
and
Montreal,
based
on
the
most
recent
data
available
in
September.
The
treasurer
reported
that
in
q2
of
2013
capital
budget
adjustments
resulted
in
a
reduction
of
19
point:
1
million
dollars
in
debt
financing
requirements.
F
Municipal
debt
may
only
be
used
for
capital
expenditures,
as
we
all
know,
unlike
the
other,
two
levels
of
government
were
not
allowed
to
run
a
deficit,
and
borrowing
is
limited
to
25%
of
all
revenues
raised
by
taxation
and
other
fees,
and
we
remain
far
below
that
level
that
il
the
colse.
Furthermore,.
F
Debt
added
to
the
2014
capital
budget,
the
city
is
in
good
financial
shape.
Budget
2014
will
see
us
stay.
The
course
is
a
delivers,
solid
progress
for
our
residents.
Many
projects
are
underway,
Lansdowne
is
coming
to
life.
We
see
this
now
with
the
work
on
all
aspects
of
the
project.
In
fact,
when
many
of
us
toured
the
facility
there
were
over
700
construction
workers
working
diligently
to
meet
the
deadline
of
having
the
facility
ready
for
the
return
of
football/soccer
the
park
area,
retail
and
housing
later
next
year.
F
The
stadium,
where
the
magnificent
new
wooden
Vale
is
taking
shape
later
this
week,
will
be
really
quite
a
sight.
The
move
and
reconfiguration
of
the
horticultural
building
the
start
of
the
new
Great
Lawn,
an
urban
park
and
all
the
new
features
it
will
contain.
Budget
24
include
2014,
includes
2
million
dollars
in
operating
and
one-time
capital
fit-up
costs
to
program
and
maintain
the
public
space
elements
of
Lansdowne
Park,
and
while
we
are
excited
to
see
this
revival
taking
place,
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
the
people
of
the
surrounding
neighborhoods.
F
F
The
innovative
use,
for
example,
of
an
on-site
concrete
production
facility,
has
meant
thousands
fewer
thousands
of
fewer
trucks
on
the
street
in
the
area,
for
instance,
but
no
matter
what
is
done,
there
will
still
be
disruption
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
I
thank
the
residents
for
their
patience
and
understanding
and
I
want
to
thank
councillor,
David
churna
chenko
for
his
constant
efforts
and
engagement
on
this
project
on
behalf
of
his
residence.
The
same
thanks
is
also
due
to
our
neighbors
in
the
eastern
reaches
of
our
city.
F
F
Thank
you
to
the
resourcefulness
and
ingenuity.
Two
people
are
showing
as
they
adopt
to
the
work
and
REE
routing
that
are
inevitable.
Parts
of
improving
existing
roadways,
councillors,
blowers,
Manette
lay
and
tyranny
have
been
steadfast
in,
seeing
that
the
interests
of
the
residents
are
first
and
foremost,
every
step
of
the
way,
and
their
insight
has
also
been
important
to
the
planning
and
execution
of
all
the
work.
F
Under
this
program
we've
seen
projects
completed
on
time
and
on
budget
in
every
ward
in
the
city.
Many
in
fact
moved
up
years
ahead
of
schedule,
and
this
is
happening
as
we
begin
the
real
work
on
the
biggest
infrastructure
project
in
Ottawa's
history
phase.
One
of
our
LRT
is
finally
under
construction.
It's
the
project
that
will
remake
our
city
for
the
future
and
for
the
next
several
generations.
F
D
F
In
this
council
should
be
proud
that
the
shovels
are
in
the
ground
and
work
is
underway.
Now,
as
we
watch
the
investment
of
dollars
across
the
city,
we
also
need
to
keep
our
eyes
firmly
on
the
future.
Just
as
in
our
first
three
budgets,
budget
2014
proposes
a
number
of
strategic
investments
that
will
benefit
our
residents
as
we
continue
to
grow
and
mature
as
a
major
Canadian
urban
center.
That
means
recreation
and
mobility
needs
must
be
met.
F
In
addition
to
all
of
the
other
demands
that
citizens
may
have,
this
council
has
invested
in
our
neighborhoods
with
Park
projects
right
across
the
city,
and
this
I'm
pleased
to
report
will
continue
again
in
2014

colleagues.
Councillor,
Clark
and
flurry
will
be
particularly
pleased
to
note
that
the
8.2
million
dollar
commitment
to
the
Donald
Somerset
pedestrian
bridge
and
all
that
will
add
to
both
communities
on
either
side
of
the
river.
These
are
just
some
of
the
investments
who
are
making
in
the
quality
of
life
of
our
residents
for
the
future.
F
The
same
time,
we
continue
to
put
much-needed
resources
into
the
upkeep
of
our
current
infrastructure
community
and
Protective
Services
under
the
chairmanship
of
councillor
Taylor,
we'll
see,
among
other
elements,
an
investment
of
approximately
2.2
million
dollars
for
a
defibrilator
replacement.
These
units
are
lifesavers,
as
we
have
seen
in
several
instances
and
even
more
important
to
the
fabric
of
community
life.
As
a
population
ages,
Fire
Services
will
invest
2.5
million
dollars
in
self-contained
breathing
equipment
that
is
so
integral
to
today's
modern
firefighting
techniques.
F
Forestry
Service
will
see
investments
of
1.2
million
dollars
of
new
operating
funds
for
forest
cover
initiatives
which
involve
management
of
the
emerald
ash,
borer
challenge
increasing
overall
forest
cover
and
improved
maintenance
standards,
including
tree
planting
programs.
Forestry
will
also
see
1.17
million
in
capital,
investments
for
lifecycle,
tree
renewal
and
replacement
of
trees
at
the
end
of
their
life,
storm
damaged
or
subject
to
emerald
ash
borer.
So
final,
small
city
and
a
program
come
Laza.
This.
D
F
Based
effort,
the
public
works,
smart
energy
program
will
continue
to
roll
out
with
a
3.9
million
dollar.
Further
investment
in
funding
for
2014
when
complete
this
program
will
see
implementation
of
more
than
a
hundred
energy
saving
capital
measures
within
existing
city
facilities.
This
program,
you'll,
be
interested
to
know,
is
on
track
to
yielding
1.2
million
dollars
in
annual
savings
by
the
end
of
this
year
and
is
also
on
track
to
exceed
the
anticipated
payback
of
five
years.
F
Infrastructure
investments
will
continue
in
2014
there's
an
investment
of
11.6
million
dollars
for
the
detailed
design
work
on
the
western
transit
way
from
Bayshore
station
to
Moody
Drive
and
councillor
Taylor's
wort
councilor
Wilkinson's
residents
will
see
a
31
million
dollar
investment
for
the
construction
of
a
new
four-lane
roadway
to
extend
compo
drive
from
Didsbury
to
hunt
mar
as
part
of
this
year's
45
million
dollar
investment
and
road
resurfacing.
Councillor
Shirley's
college
ward
will
see
work
on
to
name
a
few
baseline
road
and
I
can
tell
you
personally
every
time
I
canvass
baseline
road.
F
They
say
when
is
it
going
to
get
repaved?
It
will
be
done
in
2014,
iris
Street,
Meadowlands,
Drive
and
West
Cliff
Road.
In
the
same
way,
Alta
Vista
residents
and
councilor
Humes
Ward
will
see
work
on
Baycrest,
Drive,
Dauphin
road
and
Kilbourne
Avenue,
while
residents
of
Diane
Holmes
Ward
will
see
work
on
booth
and
Slater
life
cycle,
renewal
of
the
Prince
of
Wales
Drive
and
Nepean
Creek
Bridge
culprit
and
councillor
eggless
Ward
will
be
completed
with
an
investment
of
1.2
million
and
water
and
sewer
work
on
sherry,
Lane
and
Brent.
F
D
F
Councillor
Dean's
and
residents
in
the
green
bar
area
near
Tapio,
la
Crescent
will
see
a
1.5
million
dollar
investment
to
correct
settling
roadbeds
caused
by
poor
soil
base
in
kitchen,
sippy
ward,
councillor,
Hobbs
and
residents
will
see
combined
sewers
are
being
replaced
with
separate
storm
and
sanitary
sewers
in
the
Rex
and
cur
area,
and
this
work
requires
an
investment
of
3.9
million
dollars.
Although
on
the
move
was
created
and
funded
by
this
council.
F
Two
years
ago,
we've
invested
three
hundred
and
forty
million
dollars
and
leverage
that
into
more
than
five
hundred
million
dollars
in
total
project
work
from
2012
to
2014.
In
those
three
years
we
created
employment
here
in
the
city.
In
addition
to
investing
wisely
in
our
future,
and
by
the
time
we
are
done,
we
will
have
seen
more
than
400
projects
across
the
city.
F
Asset
management
is
just
one
part
of
our
job
here
at
City,
Council
we've
also
been
implementing
service
Ottawa,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
in
2014,
there
will
be
even
more
coming
from
this
initiative.
My

to
create
their

In

You.
F
Thing
in
mind
to
improve
service
delivery
to
residences
and
businesses
across
the
city.
I
want
to
thank
councillor
Tierney
and
the
members
of
the
IT
subcommittee
for
their
work
on
this
important
effort
to
bring
about
technological
advances
that
will
help
us
do.
It
will
help
us
to
better
serve
the
public
and,
at
the
same
time,
under
the
direction
of
chair
of
our
planning
committee,
councillor
Hume,
our
planning
department
has
been
stepping
up
to
the
plate
and
improving
service
delivery.
F
We
have
cut
processing
times
for
various
applications,
as
the
most
recent
performance
report
indicated,
and
we
will
be
continuing
to
work
to
making
to
make
dealing
with
the
City
of
Ottawa
a
pleasure,
not
a
chore.
We
promised
a
guaranteed
application
times
initiative
gaddy,
covering
five
different
development
application
types
at
the
planning
summit
last
year,
as
of
August
had
been
89.
F
Applications
under
this
program
and
96%
were
handled
within
the
council,
established
timelines
and
each
of
the
three
that
missed
the
timelines
had
extenuating
circumstances,
but
will
still
receive
credits
for
their
next
similar
application,
as
almost
at
the
summit.
Economic
activity,
of
course,
is
the
lifeblood
of
our
community,
and
here
we
as
a
council
have
also
signaled
and
delivered
on
a
new
direction.
The
Silva
stone
innovation
to
develop
market.
F
Innovation

has
had
a
year
of
achievement
punctuated
by
internal
departmental
successes
and

name
just
a
few:

investment
and

F
The
new
major
events
office
was
able
to
attract
an
additional
nine
major
events
in
2013,
as
well
as
successfully
winning
bids
for
for
future
events.
In
fact,
our
major
events
office
has
been
a
great
success
story.
We
have
seen
the
fruits
of
their
efforts
with
the
Women's
World
Hockey
Championships,
the
Ontario
Women's
Hockey
Championships,
the
duathlon
World

the
Canadian

name
just
a
few.
F
Budget
2014
seeks
your
approval
to
increase
the
budget
for
the
major
events
office
by
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
This
will
allow
us
to
capitalize
on
the
opportunities
at
hand
and
to
be
better
prepared
to
celebrate
our
country's
150
birthday
in
2017,
and
on
that
note,
I
wish
to
again
thank
the
co-chairs

It
will
take

D
F
Progress
and
getting
the
job
done
for
our
residents,
it's
about
moving
into
the
next
year
of
our
term
of
council,
knowing
that
we
have
met
many
of
the
commitments
that
we
have
made
together,
knowing
that
we
provide
needed
services,
police
fire,
paramedic,
transit,
waste
collection,
recycling,
snow
removal,
road
maintenance,
libraries,
public
health,
drinking
waters,
parks,
culture
and
recreation,
6000,
kilometers
of
roads
and
2,000
kilometers
of
sidewalks
wastewater
handling
and
much
much
more
every
day
for
families
across
this
great
city.
Well,
we
have
before
us
is
a
balanced
package
to
move
our
city
forward.
F
What
we're
doing
is
what
we
said
we
would
do
while
investing
in
our
infrastructure,
so
that
our
residents
can
count
on
those
services
they
need
in
the
future.
I
believe
that
this
proposed
budget
2014
continues
to
sol
at
work
that
we
have
done
in
the
last
three
years
together.
I
hope
that
you
will
be
able
to
share
in
that
assessment
as
you
review
the
details
in
the
coming
weeks
at
committee
deliberations
in
public
County,
the
consultations
across
the
city
and
here
at
Council
itself.
F
This
budget,
when
all
is
said
and
done,
is
about
progress,
progress
and
keeping
taxes,
low
progress
in
building
and
maintaining
infrastructure
and
city
assets,
progress
in
making
our
city
an
even
better
place
to
live,
work
and
visit,
and
progress
that
allows
our
residents
to
say
that
they
live
in
one
of
the
cleanest
greenest,
safest
cities
in
the
country,
if
not
the
world.
Thank
you
very
much.
Lc
beaucoup.
E
F
H
H
H
So
with
respect
to
the
budget
guidelines
in
May
of
this
year,
the
mayor
put
forward
a
motion
that
the
budgets
be
developed
to
result
in
a
wreck,
a
tax
increase
of
less
than
2%.
We
came
forward
with
the
budget
process
and
timetable
report
in
June
of
2013,
which
you
adopted,
which
required
boards
and
commissions
to
develop
their
budgets
with
the
same
objective.
D
Net
needs
in
supplementary
taxes
are
twenty
nine
point,
six
million
dollars.
This
will
have
an
impact
of
two
point.
Ninety
one
percent
on
the
tax
bill
for
a
tax
payer
in
an
urban
center,
according
to
the
average
assessment,
is
three
hundred
and
thirty
five
dollars
and
the
increase
will
correspond
to
seventy
eight
dollars
per
year
for
the
city
services,
which
includes
a
garbage
collection,
but.
H
In
the
draft
budgets
is
twenty
nine
point,
six
million
dollars,
which
is
a
one
point,
nine
one
percent
increase
on
the
tax
bill
for
an
urban
residential
taxpayer.
That
represents
a
sixty
two
dollar
per
year.
Increase
we've
also
identified
on
this
chart.
The
rural
taxpayer
is,
it
amounts
to
a
55
dollar
and
for
your
average
commercial
assessment
of
two
hundred
and
seventy
one
thousand,
it's
a
ninety
six
dollars
just
a
caution
in
looking
at
this
chart,
though
this
does
not
reflect
any
impact
from
tax
policy
or
reassessment.
H
If
you
remember,
this
is
the
second
year
of
the
phase-in
of
the
reassessment
we
received
in
2012,
so
individual
properties
are
affected
by
not
only
what
you
said
as
a
budget
for
what
the
value
of
their
home
is
in
relation
to
other
homes.
As
a
result
of
reassessment,
the
property
tax
change,
as
you
can
see,
is
one
point
percent
is
the
lowest
in
this
term
and,
as
the
mayor
has
said,
it's
the
lowest
in
the
last
seven
years
of
this
council
or
of
the
council.
H
The
mayor
also
indicated
that
we
were
reducing
55
FTEs
across
the
corporation.
In
fact,
it's
fifty
four
point:
six
six,
but
I
won't
quibble
the
point
three
three
and
it's
made
up
from
increases
and
decreases
across
the
corporation.
The
decreases
are
almost
everywhere.
The
increases
are
in
very
select
areas.
This
chart
shows
you
that
in
total,
in
2013
we
had
a
FTE
compliment.
H
Committee
of
adjustment
is
requesting
to
to
deal
with
workload.
But
eighty
four
point:
seven
five
in
city
departments
is
primarily
from
the
items
that
the
mayor
identified.
The
mental
recreation
center
and
bar
Haven
takes
up
the
largest
share
of
those
lands
down
because
that's
opening
there
is
a
requirement
for
FTEs
for
that
and
there
is
an
increase
in
the
economic
development
office.
H
The
reductions
of
one
hundred
and
forty
seven
point
three
nine
come
primarily
from
service,
Ottawa
efficiencies
and
other
internal
reviews
that
have
taken
place
this
year
and
in
previous
years
that
are
being
reflected
in
the
2014
budget.
I
should
also
note
that
in
those
reductions
there
is
seven
point
two
two
FTEs
that
will
be
proposed
to
be
removed
from
the
water
and
sewer
budgets,
which
are
not
in
front
of
you
today,
but
will
be
coming
forward
in
the
next
few
weeks:
the
water
and
sewer
budget.
H
If
you
remember,
we
now
set
that
on
a
multi-year
basis.
So
when
you
approve
the
2013
budget,
you
also
approved
the
2014
water
sewer
budget.
Under
that
new
process,
we
will
be
coming
forward
with
a
report
at
Environment
Committee
on
November,
the
19th
with
which
we'll
identify
any
changes
to
the
2014
water
and
sewer
budget
for
consideration.
And
then
you
will
deal
with
all
of
the
budgets,
not
only
these
all
these
tax
budgets,
but
the
2014
water
and
sewer
any
changes
to
that
on
November
27th.
H
So
the
operable
operating
budget-
just
I-
want
to
remind
you
that
the
numbers
that
are
being
presented
here
are
a
combination
of
all
the
budgets
that
will
be
improved
on
November
27th,
with
the
exception
of
water
and
sewer.
So
for
your
the
budget
highlights.
So
the
cost
to
maintain
the
existing
operations
across
the
city
is
worth
40
point
three
million
dollars
as
a
net
number.
Those
are
made
up
of
a
variety
of
cost
increases
in
savings,
labor
costs.
We
continue
for
the
services
in
the
tax
side.
H
It's
primarily
people
delivering
services
to
residents,
so
labor
is
our
biggest
cost.
The
increases
are
in
2014,
our
thirty-one
point:
three
million
across
the
board.
Inflation
is
thirteen
point
three,
the
biggest
part
of
that
is
fuel
and
hydro,
which
is
approximately
five
million
dollars.
We
have
an
inflationary
increase
to
the
reserves
of
seven
million
dollars.
H
This
is
a
larger
number
than
in
pastures,
primarily
because
Transit
is
making
an
increased
contribution
to
the
reserve
to
make
up
for
prior
years
when
they
did
not
make
an
appropriate
level
of
contribution,
but
there
are
savings
to
offset
some
of
that.
This
is
2013.
So
your
last
double
deckers
arrived
and
there
are
savings
of
one
and
a
half
million.
H
As
a
result
of
that
decision
in
fuel
parts
and
operations,
service
Ottawa
is
providing
approximately
four
point:
nine
million
gross
savings
police
have
identified
another
two
and
a
2.4
million
in
savings,
and
then
there
are
a
number
of
reductions
in
discretionary
census
and
staff
rationalization
that
result
in
twelve
point
six
million
dollars
in
savings
in
2014
as
every
year.
We
look
at
what
was
the
experience
in
the
current
year
to
determine
what
needs
to
be
adjusted
on
a
go-forward
basis.
There
are
adjustments
as
a
result
of
the
2013
budget
requiring
an
additional
two
million
dollars.
H
With
respect
to
growth,
there
is
13
point
1
million
dollars
set
aside
for
these
initiatives.
Most
of
these
you're,
familiar
with
the
Minto
recreation
center
of
the
mayor,
referred
to
roads
and
sidewalks.
Every
year
you
assume
dozens
of
kilometers
of
new
roads
and
sidewalks,
which
mr.
kief
has
to
maintain
that's
1.3
million
dollars.
The
contribution
to
the
capital
reserves-
this
is
for
growth,
related
projects,
and
we
are
doing
this
in
advance
of
the
development
charge
bylaw
review
in
2014.
This
was
identified
as
part
of
the
transportation
master
plan
that
was
tabled
a
few
weeks
ago.
H
New
households
that
we
will
be
collecting
garbage
from
their
garbage
feet
generates
a
half.
A
million
dollars
are
sorry,
their
cost
of
collecting
their
garbage
generates
a
cost
of
half
a
million
dollars.
There
are
some
new
policing
initiatives
of
2.2
million,
which
certain
the
police
chief
will
be
happy
to
talk
about.
Public
health
has
identified
400,000
of
growth
initiatives.
200
of
that,
though,
is
dependent
upon
receiving
funding
from
the
province
and
the
other
200,000
I'm.
H
Certain
the
chair
will
speak
about
economic
development,
there's
an
increase
of
600,000
for
that
office
for
both
officers
and
for
tourism,
Ottawa,
and
then
the
old
train
expansion
that
is
causing
an
addition
million
dollars
in
2014.
We
do
have
impacts
on
our
budget
as
a
result
of
changes
that
the
province
introduces.
These
are
mostly
offset,
though,
by
revenues
that
we
received
from
the
province
in
April
of
2013.
There
was
a
rate
increase
to
Ontario
Works
of
1%,
and
we
also
have
forecast
a
two
and
a
half
percent
increase
in
caseload.
H
D
D
Alhassan
Park
two
million
forestry
initiatives
because
of
the
opening
in
June
2014,
as
well
as
one-time
costs
for
minor
the
works
and
the
increase
of
operational
expenses,
two
million
dollars
and
capital
expenditures
of
1.2
million
in
order
to
redevelop
Arts
Court,
as
well
as
ensuring
that
the
facility
is
operational,
a
cultural
plan,
half
a
million
dollars,
cycling
safety,
evaluation,
$20,000,
Community,
Design
plans
in
priority
areas
for
transit.
Two
hundred
and
ninety
five
thousand
dollars
increased
to
capital
reserves
for
L
RFP,
a.
H
Cost
increases
those
net
cost,
increases
our
revenues
of
70
point
1
million
dollars,
user
fees
and
charges
of
an
inflationary
rate
across
most
of
the
corporation,
except
for
recreation,
culture
where
there
is
again
no
increase,
transit
fare,
says
the
mayor
mentioned
and
1.9
percent
increase.
You
have
continuation
of
provincial
upload
from
the
province
in
two
areas:
the
Ontario
Works
and
security
for
the
court
that
the
police
are
benefiting
from
there.
The
province
pays
for
their
share
of
social
services,
long
term
care
and
ambulance.
Plus.
H
So
in
total
you
have
a
balanced
budget
for
2014,
just
to
highlight
to
you,
so
you
you're,
the
budget
in
front
of
you
today
is
totals
to
almost
2.6
billion
dollars.
When
you
add
on
what
you've
got
for
water
and
sewer,
which
is
a
little
over
300
million,
you
and
total
have
budgets
were
three
billion
dollars.
H
Where
do
we
fund
that
from
it's
primarily
from
property
taxes
and
user
fees?
If
you
look
at
this
chart,
you'll
see
that
property
taxes
and
pay
newah
taxes
combined
are
61%.
You
add
user
fees
on
top
of
that
of
17%
you're,
almost
at
80%.
At
that
point,
there's
little
left,
which
is
the
federal
and
provincial
and
it's
primarily
provincial
revenue
for
the
programs
that
we
deliver
on
their
behalf,
the
capital
budget.
H
We
are
presenting
a
2014
capital
budget
and
we
are
a
forecast
for
2015
to
2017.
The
2014
budget
incorporates
the
term
of
council
priorities.
It
also
includes
what
was
identified
in
the
transportation
master
plan
that
was
just
tabled
a
few
weeks
ago,
so
the
projects
that
were
identified
in
there
are
reflected
in
the
current
in
the
2014
budget
and
in
the
forecast,
as
usual,
we're
using
a
debt
very
judiciously
in
this
budget.
H
We
are
respecting
the
limits
that
council
has
established
and
those
are
that
the
debt
servicing
it's
constrained
to
seven-and-a-half
percent
of
your
own
source
revenues,
and,
if
you
think
of
the
charts
that
we,
the
pie
chart,
we
just
showed
your
own
source.
Revenues,
are
your
user
fees
and
your
taxes
and
as
all
so
that
any
tax
impact
would
only
require
a
maximum
yearly
impact
on
the
tax
bill
of
one
quarter
of
one
percent.
H
This
budget
results
in
debt
servicing
in
2014.
That
is
five
point
four
percent
of
our
own
source
revenue.
So
what
we
are
well
within
the
judicious
limits
that
council
has
set
the
2014
capital
budget
is
359
million
dollars
in
total.
When
you
add
in
there,
which
will
be
in
the
rate
budget,
you
come
to
a
total
authority
request
for
2014
of
666
million
dollars.
It
seems
small
in
comparison
to
previous
years,
but
that's
only
because
we
had
light
rail
in
previous
years.
It's
the
mayor
had
indicated
again.
H
You
are
focusing
on
maintaining
the
assets
that
you
own
60%
of
what
your
spending
is
being
spent
to
renew
and
maintain
existing
assets.
This
is
the
third
and
final
year
of
the
Ottawa,
and
the
move
initiative
and
included
in
the
renewal
is
52
million
dollars
of
projects
for
Ottawa
on
the
move,
and
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
this
brings
your
total
investment
for
this
initiative
to
over
five
hundred
million
dollars
and
over
four
hundred
projects.
H
H
So
how
do
we
fund
the
capital
program
at
three
hundred
and
fifty
nine
million
dollars
as
you'll
see
from
this
chart?
We
have
cash
coming
on
approximately
sixty
six
percent
of
the
budget
is
being
funded
from
cash.
The
remaining
part
is
being
funded
from
debt,
but,
as
the
mayor
had
indicated,
there's
no
new
debt.
The
tax
supported
debt
that
you
see
here
of
seventy
six
point.
Three
million
dollars
that
is
being
added
on
is
almost
equivalent
to
the
amount
of
debt
that
is
retiring
in
2014.
H
There's,
there's
71
million
or
72
million
dollars,
that's
retiring,
but
a
little
bit
of
difference.
That's
in
there
are
four
million
dollars,
is
debt
that
will
be
refinanced
in
2014
that
actually
won't
be
initiative.
So
there
is
no
new
debt
being
added.
It's
just
replacing
existing
debt
in
2014,
so
just
to
quickly
go
through
the
budget
timetable
for
those
who
may
be
watching
at
home
and
want
to
participate
in
this
we
have
our
public
consultation
meetings
will
be
starting
next
Monday.
H
We
have
one
in
the
East
the
day
after
that,
we're
in
the
West
in
kannada,
then
the
south
of
the
day
after
that
in
Nepean
and
then,
unfortunately,
because
of
halloween
and
all
of
the
things
the
one
for
the
central
area
will
be
held
on
November
7th
right
here
in
City
Council,
your
budget
meetings
start
on
the
5th.
The
November
with
fedko
will
be
kicking
it
off
and
we
put
to
the
schedule
or
dates
up
there.
So
any
resident
who
looks
at
this
can
hopefully
find
the
date
for
the
committee
that
they're
interested
in.
H
But
the
key
information
is
on
this
slide,
which
is,
if
you
want
to
participate
in
the
budget
to
2014
there's
a
number
of
ways
you
can
do
it.
We
have
an
email

H
All

this
information
is
online
Ottawa,
dot,
CA,
the
budget

they
are
available
in
accessible

there's
a
hard
copy
will
be
sent
to
libraries
and
client
service
centers
for
those
residents
who
may
not
have
access
to
a
computer.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
Mr.
mayor
and
I
just
want
to
end
by
saying
that,
while
tom
is
mr.
budgets,
there's
for
mrs.
H
budgets
at
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
those
are
Anna
Tonya,
Mooney
and
Robin
and
they're
back
at
the
office,
so
hopefully
listening
to
this
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
all
the
hard
work
that
they
have
done
this
year
and
without
their
efforts.
This
wouldn't
be
in
front
of
you
today.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor
great.
F
Well,
I
want
to
thank
you,
madam
treasurer,
for
a
very
precise
presentation
and
a
lot
of
hard
work.
That's
been
put
into
this
document,
so
we're
gonna
hold
high
level
questions
of
the
treasurer
until
we
go
through
all
of
our
other
guests
who
have
to
present,
we
don't
have
presentations
for
the
committee
of
adjustments
so
on
the
2014
committee
of
adjustment
received
a
crime
prevention,
Ottawa
2014
draft,
offering
budget
penicillin
to
clean
doctor
wah
received.
F
So
after
each
of
these
delegations,
if
you
have
questions
for
our
chief
and
chair
of
the
police
board,
just
to
let
you
know,
the
Police
Services
Board
did
receive
this
document
and
had
a
presentation
this
morning
prior
to
council,
so
Miss
Frazer
chief
board,
low
chair,
L
Centuri,
be
ever
new.
The
floor
is
yours.
Well,.
I
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
against
America.
We
represent
our
budget
early
this
morning
at
the
Police
Service
Board,
and
we
tabled
the
draft
operation
and
capital
budget
at
the
special
meeting.
As
a
member
of
council
will
read,
the
budget
follow
the
direction
of
the
board
regarding
a
tax
increase
of
less
than
2%.
I
C
C
Budget
process,
as
we
to
balance
the
requirement
for
a
restrained
increase
with
the
safety
and
security
needs
of
our
community.
This
budget
will
also
ensure
we
can
continue
to
focus
on
community
priorities.
This
includes
guns
and
gangs,
violence
against
women
and
traffic
safety
to
meet
the
board's
tax
increased
direction,
we
identified
3.7
million
in
efficiencies
and
new
revenues.
Another
two
point:
eight
million
dollars
in
pressures
had
to
be
offset
with
our
service
initiative.
C
We
have
a
plan
to
meet
future
financial
challenges
through
innovation,
efficiency
and
improved
customer
service
technology
is
a
key
factor
in
a
strategy
that
will
enable
us
to
create
collision,
reporting,
centers
online
background
clearance
checks
and
online
reporting
for
some
crimes.
Increased
partnerships,
including
increased
cooperation
with
the
city,
will
be
vital
to
the
cost
reductions
we
are
seeking.
This
budget
includes
the
final
phase
of
the
compliance
with
the
capital
accounting
t
car.
C
Finally,
this
budget
includes
important
investments
in
business
continuity,
programs
related
to
our
computer,
aided
dispatch
and
records
management
systems
and
our
in
our
facilities
strategic
plan.
These
are
vital
to
guaranteeing
that
we
can
continue
to
deliver
excellent
service
to
our
residents
in
the
future.
All
us
now
to
free
Debra,
Fraser
or
director
general
to
take
over
the
presentation.
J
J
The
tax
rates,
then,
when
you
spread
it
over
the
assessment
base,
creates
a
one
point:
nine,
nine
percent
tax
rate
increase
and
that's
eleven
dollars
for
the
average
taxpayer
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
when
you
look
at
our
budget
documents,
you'll
see
that
the
net
operating
budget
for
Ottawa
Police
is
two
hundred
and
sixty
three
point:
nine
million
dollars
there's
in
round
numbers
about
twenty
five
million
dollars
worth
of
related
revenue,
so
our
gross
operating
budget
is
in
the
range
of
two
hundred
and
eighty
eight
million
dollars.
J
Here's
where
the
the
seven
point,
six
million
dollars
worth
of
funding
is
distributed.
When
you
look
inside
the
operating
budget,
it's
notices
prize
to
see
that
seven
point:
1
million
dollars
lands
in
the
compensation
area
where
a
service,
business
and
eighty
three
point
three
percent
of
our
compensation
is
found
on
the
salary
lines.
The
we've
made.
J
At
this
point,
1.4
million
dollars
of
the
pressure
in
this
year's
budget
is
coming
in
the
non-compensation
area
that
relates
to
contracts
that
were
for
other
non
non
compensation
items
that
were
settled
last
year
and
bought
forward
into
the
budget.
It's
some
of
our
items
also
attract
inflation
and
we
launched
some
new
services
last
year,
so
1.4
million
is
the
total
bringing
the
comp
and
non-count
to
8.5
million
you'll
see
that
there
is
no
pressure
coming
from
Perl.
It
provincially
legislated
items
and
no
pressure
from
growth.
There
are
no
growth
initiatives
in
this
budget.
J
There
are
some
new
services
and
new
needs.
Those
are
primarily
two
funds
that
we
have
launched.
One
is
the
continued
we've
added
funds
to
a
project
fund
for
our
service
initiative.
That's
the
the
critical
project
that
we
launched
last
year
and
we
will
continue
to
expand
and
out
of
it
will
come
the
different
kinds
of
projects
and
initiatives
that
we're
launching
to
change
the
way
that
Ottawa
police
operates
and
does
business
so
we'll
through
there
and
the
collision
Reporting
Center
project,
the
online
background
reporting
project
and
the
online
reporting
initiative
that
we
have
running.
J
They
will
be
concrete
ways
that
will
demonstrate
our
ability
to
increase
lis
increased
service,
to
the
public,
to
reduce
cost,
to
redeploy
sworn
officer
and
civilian
resources
and
to
generate
revenue,
so
we've
added
funds
to
create
our
investment
fund.
The
we've
also
created
a
half
a
million
dollar
fund
to
deal
with
business
continuity
and
to
participate
in
the
serve
the
city's
emergency
management
plan.
The
fun
that
we
created
to
generate
efficiencies
has
paid
dividends
in
the
2014
budget,
2.1
million
dollars
of
dividends.
Actually
that's.
J
What's
helping
to
reduce
pressure
on
the
police
budget,
we
always
adjust
our
user
fee
and
charges
to
match
the
the
budget
increase
rate.
That's
going
to
generate
$100,000.
So
at
the
end
of
the
those
the
pressure,
the
the
solutions
create
a
bottom
line
of
7.6
million
dollars
for
the
operating
side
of
the
budget
as
as
per
the
direction
of
the
Auditor
General.
When
the
the
board's
budget
practice
was
were
reviewed
several
years
ago,
we
table
a
three
year
forecast.
So
this
is
what
the
police
services
budget
looks
like
for
2015
to
2017.
J
It's
based
on
a
series
of
assumptions:
the
on
the
salary
side.
We
once
again
have
used
the
best
direction
we
can
get.
Looking
at
the
big
12
in
Ontario
we've
continued
to
assume
that
the
service
initiative
projects
will
generate
a
minimum
of
1
million
dollars
worth
of
efficiencies
each
year.
Assessment
based
growth
is
in
around
the
range
of
2%
you'll,
see,
though,
that
growth
returns
to
the
the
police
service
in
2015,
2016
and
2017,
and
that
is
at
a
level
of
23
employees
per
year.
J
All
of
that
then
results
in
a
2.5
percent
tax
increase
for
each
of
those
years
going
forward.
The
capital
budget
is
a
very
small
budget,
especially
compared
to
the
city's
own
capital
budget.
It
got
even
smaller
this
year
upon.
Completion
of
the
t'car
exercise
only
hard
assets
are
now
in
the
capital
budget.
J
When
we
look
at
the
ten
year
forecast
that
picture
changes
a
bit
because
our
forecast
changes
and
focuses
more
on
the
facility
strategic
plan,
the
funding
plan
changes
to
be
about
half
and
half
debt
and
pays
you
go

The
renewal
of
assets
is
about
one
third
of
our
future
forecast
growth
and
strategic
initiatives
account
for
the
remainder
and
that
is
to
put
in

are

I

and
you

arrested

their
support
and

and
I

F

G
B
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
fellow
colleagues
today
I'm
making
a
presentation,
as
you
said,
with
our
CEO
Daniel
McDonald,
and
we
have
good
news,
as
did
the
police.
Our
operating
budget
overview
shows
that
we're
increasing
our
budget
by
just
under
1
million
dollars,
giving
you
a
2014
net
operating
request
of
forty
three
and
a
half
million
dollars.
B
The
library's
capital
budget
represents
almost
four
million
dollars.
Three
point:
nine
six
million
funds
are
going
to
be
used
to
replace
the
aging
fleet,
which
include
our
very
popular
bookmobile
deal
with
facility
lifecycle
issues.
Further,
the
board's
RFID
radio
frequency
identification
in
six
locations
provide
for
the
expansion
of
constants
and
Buckham
bay
branch
and
further
the
necessary
planning
required
to
modernize
and
retrofit
the
Rosemount
and
main
libraries.
B
B
F
F
A
You
very
much
mr.
mayor,
good
morning,
everyone
as
chair,
the
Board
of
Health
I,
will
be
representing
and
presenting
the
board's
2014
draft
operating
budget.
The
Board
of
Health
is
presenting
a
balanced
budget
of
55
million
and
upon
approval.
The
budget
will
represent
a
funding
provision
of
12.4
million
from
the
city
and
40
2.6
million
from
the
province
and
from
other
funders.
This
draft
budget
also
proposes
an
increase
below
the
council
directed
target
of
less
than
2
percent
increase
for
municipal
taxes.
A
Oph
will
continue
to
participate
in
the
city's
service.
Ottawa
mobility
project
by
deploying
additional
mobile
employees,
creating
efficiencies
and
program
reinvestment
opportunities
as
a
result
of
the
service,
Ottawa
project
and
associated
efficiencies,
3
full-time
equivalent
positions
are
being
removed
and
OPH
will
invest,
391
thousand
into
food
safety
and
our
healthy
eating
active
living
strategy.
A
Reinvestments
will
allow
out
of
Public
Health
to
increase
inspections
of
high-risk
restaurants,
outdoor
food,
vendors
and
special
events
to
reduce
foodborne
illnesses
resulting
from
improper
food
handling
techniques,
increased
physical
activity
levels
in
the
community,
starting
with
school-aged
children,
and
increase
opportunities
for
active
transportation
to
and
from
schools.
As
noted
earlier,
the
Board
of
Health
receives
the
majority
of
its
funding
from
provincial
sources.
In
addition
to
internal
efficiencies,
OPH
will
also
aim
to
maximize
provincial
funding
opportunities
by
applying
for
one-time
cost
share
provincial
grants
each
spring.
A
The
Ministry
of
Health
and
long-term
care
opens
up
funding
opportunities
for
one-time
projects.
The
draft
budget
proposes
that
up
to
two
hundred
thousand
be
identified
as
a
city
share
of
potential
one-time
Ministry
of
Health
and
long-term
care
projects
to
fund
additional
community
public
health
services
in
areas
such
as
immunization,
active
transportation,
mental
health,
health
services
for
Aboriginal
populations
and
healthy
food
environments,
transfer
of
funds
would
only
occur
if
provincial
approval
of
the
75%
share
is
received.
A
This
investment
would
kickstart.
Oph
is
infection
and
control
personal
service
setting
planning,
focusing
especially
on
training
on
infection,
prevention
and
control
practices
to
operators
of
tattoo
parlors
and
other
personal
services
setting
establishments
thanks
very
much
for
your
time
and
thanks
to
the
staff
of
OPH
who
have
worked
so
hard
on
this
budget.
A
A
F
On
the
draft
board
of
health
budget
received,
okay,
so
will
now
ask
Miss
Similac
to
come
back
to
the
table
and
those
of
you
who
have
questions
again,
I
asked
as
we've
done
in
the
past.
These
are
of
a
general
nature
and
we'll
have
lots
of
opportunity
for
specific
questions
over
the
course
the
consultation
process
so
councillor
Elsa
and
Terry.
Please
thank.
I
H
I
H
H
That's
a
very
good
question:
counselor
we
have
the
unfunded
liabilities
show
up
when
we
present
the
financial
statements
and
there
is
significant
difference
between
the
liabilities
for
in
future,
payments
to
employees,
post
retirement
and
post
employment,
and
they
are
not
all
funded,
but
you
have
adopted
a
plan
that
sees
some
of
those
remain
unfunded,
not
in
the
current
budget.
The
current
budget
provides
funds
for
all
of
those.
It's
just
that
you're
not
building
up
a
reserve
to
pay
for
those
into
the
future.
H
I
H
Yes,
we
do
have
that
forecast
because
we
actually
have
to
do
that
work
as
part
of
putting
together
the
financial
statements.
Our
actuaries
look
at
the
forecast
of
when
employees
will
be
retiring
and
what
are
the
city's
obligations
at
that
point
in
time?
When
would
we
know
when
we
have
to
make
these
payments,
and
we
include
that
in
the
number
so
as
part
of
what
we
do,
is
we
look
at
that
over
the
long
term
and
we
say
is:
do
we
have
sufficient
resources
within
the
budget?
Do
we
need
to
increase
the
budget?
H
Do
we
need
to
set
aside
money?
What
is
the
strategy
that
council
should
adopt
with
respect
to
those
liabilities?
There
are
certain
liabilities
counselor
that
you
will
not
want
to
set
aside
money,
for
you
will
want
to
deal
with
those
on
an
annual
basis
within
the
budget,
and
the
one
I
can
think
of
top
of
my
head
is
a
WSIB.
H
H
F
F
The
interview
process
was
thorough
and
rigorous
and
I'd
like
to
thank
Eric
Lathrop
of
augurs
Bernstein
for
his
assistance
in
our
search
and
I'm
pleased
to
announce
to
council
that
you're
hiring
panel
is
bringing
you
a
recommended
candidate.
Who
was
our
unanimous
choice
as
members
know,
I
do
not
like
counsel
moving
in
camera
unless
we
really
need
to
therefore
I'm
asking
the
clerk's
office
to
distribute
two
things
to
members
of
counsel
one.
F
That
recommends
city
council,
appoint
the
hiring
panel's
recommended
candidate
are
there
for
us
that
we
recess
for
five
to
ten
minutes
so
that
we
all
may
stay
at
our
desks
to
read
the
in-camera
report,
if
you're
already,
if
you
are
already
comfortable
with
the
specifics
surrounding
the
role
of
the
Auditor
General
and
the
process
that
you
thought,
brought
us
to
this
point,
you
may
skip
to
page
six
of
the
report.
When
we
have
all
read
the
report,
I'd
ask
members
have
any
questions.
If
members
have
questions,
we
have
a
motion
to
move
closed
session.
F
If
they
do
not,
I
will
ask
the
deputy
mayor
Eli
shanty,
removed
the
panel's
recommendation
at
that
point,
so
we
will
recess
for
five
to
ten
minutes.
If
I'd
asked,
if
you
could
stay
at
your
desk
to
read
the
material
and
then
we
will
come
back
to
either
go
in-camera.
If
you
have
in
camera
questions
or
to
thank
you
to
move
the
motion
in
public,
so
meaning
is
recessed
for
the
next
five
to
ten
minutes,
you'll
see.

F
Motion
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
of
procedure,
counselor,
chair,
ischenko
and
councillor
Blaye
have
two
motions:
they're,
really
technical
in
nature
because
of
a
deadline
with
respect
to
the
fit
program
and
local
companies
that
are
going
to
want
to
be
it
on
fit
contracts.
So,
on
suspension
of
the
rules
carried
councilors
shredded
Shenko,
if
you'd
like
to
move
the
motions
and
if
they
could
be
put
up
on
the
screen,
I
believe
the
first
one
is
yes,.
K
K
Thank
you.
I'll
skip
a
few
of
the
technical,
whereas
with
your
okay,
whereas
one
or
more
projects
may
be
constructed
and
operated
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
whereas,
pursuant
to
the
fit
rules
version
three
applicants
applications
whose
projects
receive
the
formal
support
of
local
municipalities
will
be
awarded
priority
points
which
may
result
in
these
applicants
being
offered
a
fit
contract
prior
to
other
persons
applying
for
fit
contracts.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved.
The
Council
of
the
City
of
Ottawa
supports
the
construction
and
operation
of
the
projects
anywhere
in
the
City
of
Ottawa.
K
The
resolutions,
sole
purpose,
is
to
enable
the
participants
in
the
fit
program
to
receive
priority
points
under
the
fit
program
and
may
not
be
used
for
the
purpose
of
any
other
form
of
municipal
approval
in
relation
to
the
application
or
projects
or
any
other
purpose.
This
resolution
shall
expire
12
months
after
its
adoption
by
council
and
that
that
12-month
is
a
mandatory
rule
for
the
province.
K
Yes
glad
to
clarify
this
is
a
blanket
resolution.
The
municipalities
have
been
asked
to
provide
essentially
saying
in
the
case
of
solar
rooftop
projects
we're
okay,
with
these
going
on.
We
give
municipal
approval
rather
than
each
one
of
them
coming
to
us
every
time.

A
You
