In February, the City mailed highlights of the proposed budget to every home and businesses and provided addi onal budget informa on in print and online to encourage public feedback. In total, 476 people filled out surveys or provided other forms of feedback.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

Financial Plan Overview www.portcoquitlam.ca/budget


Financial Plan Overview

2016 Budget Message The 2016-2020 Financial Plan is based on the Business Planning and Budget Guidelines, adopted in 2014 by the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee, which includes all members of City Council. The guidelines reflect Council’s desire for the City to run as efficiently as possible, in order to both meet community needs and address the public’s decreasing appe te for higher municipal taxes. Direc on provided by the guidelines included the following: • An addi onal 1% tax increase was to be included for longterm infrastructure replacement (see page 14 under Longterm Infrastructure). • Department business plans must show how budgets and work plans address Council’s priori es (see below). • The City’s Department Heads were to iden fy two key areas or processes to undergo a Con nuous Improvement Assessment (CIA) in 2016. (CIAs scru nize current ac vi es and seek opportuni es for improvement.) • Budget decision packages were to include a ra onale to support requests for new programs, projects and staff. • All vacant full- me posi ons would be subject to a detailed review by a Corporate Management Team subcommi ee prior to being filled. The complete guidelines can be viewed in Appendix A.

Council Priori es Since 2013, Council has directed staff to focus on three priori es that grew from the Corporate Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan has a large number of direc ons and desired outcomes; targe ng a few priori es at a me enable the City to meet its goals more effec vely.

8

These priori es will change as the needs of the community evolve. The current three priori es are: • Develop the organiza on, increase employee engagement and improve customer service, • Maximize the life of infrastructure assets (e.g. roads and buildings) and save for their replacement, and • Plan for the new Community Recrea on Complex to replace aging recrea on facili es in the downtown area.

Other Factors Affec ng the Plan In addi on to Council priori es, a variety of other factors affect each year’s plan, both posi vely and nega vely. For 2016, over $400 thousand in savings and efficiencies were iden fied to help offset new expenditures. Expenses increased due to labour contract obliga ons, the addi on of four RCMP officers for a new uniformed unit and saving for the new recrea on complex. The City also con nued to dedicate an addi onal 1% of tax revenue for future infrastructure replacement. This is in accordance with the Budget Guidelines. Priori es for the Coming Year In 2016, the City will be finalizing the project details, costs and ming for the new Community Recrea on Complex Council’s decisions regarding scope and phasing of this project will have a significant impact on the City’s long term financial picture. Determining the short-term and long- term implica ons of Council’s decision has been a key staff priority since 2014 and con nues into 2016 and beyond. Another priority for 2016 is conduc ng Con nuous Improvement Assessments on City func ons, as directed by the Budget Guidelines. As the City moves through the CIA process, it is cri cal that staff monitor the financial implica ons of any recommended changes.

City of Port Coquitlam


Financial Plan Overview Strategic Plan Port Coquitlam adopted the Vision 2020 Corporate Strategic Plan in 2011. The plan outlines the community’s vision for the future and will guide the City’s policy, opera ons and financial decisions through to 2020. Vision 2020 is as follows: Port Coquitlam is a happy, vibrant, safe community of healthy, engaged residents and thriving businesses supported by sustainable resources and services. Sustainability of the City’s finances will ensure the services enjoyed by the residents today will be there for future genera ons. Sustainability requires difficult decisions to balance current affordability with long-term pressures. These decisions occur annually during the financial plan prepara on process, budget delibera ons, public consulta on and final approval.

Regulatory Requirements In accordance with the laws of Bri sh Columbia through the Community Charter, municipali es must prepare a five-year financial plan each year. These plans must be adopted by municipal Councils before May 15 and they are required to iden fy the proposed expenditures, funding sources, and transfers to or between funds.

The Community Charter also directs City Council to engage the public in a consulta on process prior to adop on of the proposed financial plan. For more details on the Financial Planning Process please consult Appendices A, B and C.

Corporate Financial Goal That the City work towards full annual funding of opera ons, maintenance, growth and asset deple on applying the following measures: • Limit addi on of new services or programs for the next five years. • Apply only sustainable service and program cuts to reduce annual tax rate increases. • Set funds aside for long term financial needs including the infrastructure gap, growth and opportuni es.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

• Pursue revenues to offset funding needs. • Apply new revenues to reduce tax rates only if assured, sustainable, stable and incremental. • Maintain transparency and accountability to the community by communica ng developments with the strategy at each Commi ee and Council session on the budget. That once the service levels are set, the budget contains the necessary infla onary increases to maintain the remaining services.

Financial Plan Overview Budget Best Practices

The Government Finance Officers Associa on of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has established the Dis nguished Budget Presenta on Award to encourage governments to prepare budget documents of the highest quality to meet the needs of decision-makers and residents. Each budget document submi ed is evaluated using a comprehensive evalua on checklist and those which are judged proficient receive the award (www.gfoa.org). The City of Port Coquitlam received a Dis nguished Budget Presenta on Award from the Government Finance Officers Associa on for the 2015-2019 Financial Plan for the 18th year. To receive this award, the City had to sa sfy interna onally recognized guidelines for effec ve budget presenta on.

These guidelines assess how well the City’s budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an opera ons guide and a communica on device. Budget documents must be proficient in all four categories to receive this award. The City believes our current budget process con nues to conform to program requirements, and it is being submi ed to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award. The Government Finance Officers of the United States and Canada is a non-profit professional associa on serving 17,500 finance professionals throughout North America. The GFOA’s Dis nguished Budget Presenta on Award Program is the only na onal awards program in governmental budge ng.

City of Port Coquitlam


Financial Plan Overview Future Outlook The City will con nue to face a number of challenges in the future, the most significant of which is to provide sufficient funding to maintain and replace the City’s infrastructure and facili es. Commonly referred to as the “infrastructure gap”, the difference between an cipated replacement costs and available funding is not unique to our City, as many ci es around the world have insufficient funds to replace their aging infrastructure. News reports have highlighted ci es that have seen failures of their bridges, tunnels, roads, facili es and water and sewer systems. City funds are also required to support today’s needs for our mul -faceted municipal services. Pressures from the community highlight the need for upgrades to exis ng facili es and expansion of services for growth. The Corporate Financial Goal sets the City’s financial direc on of long-term financial sustainability. Port Coquitlam has adopted a proac ve and financially prudent strategy of saving for the future replacement of infrastructure assets – including roads, buildings and equipment – while establishing plans and prac ces to maximize their lifespan.(e.g. preventa ve maintenance). Council created a Budget and Infrastructure subcommi ee to the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee in 2014 to review our budge ng process and to develop a more sustainable model for planning and funding infrastructure. Based on its feedback, the 2016-2020 Financial Plan was presented in a form that is more easily understood by both Council and taxpayers. In 2016 the subcommi ee will con nue to develop a long range capital plan that defines what projects will be undertaken and to what standard, and includes a strategy for funding infrastructure.

The financial content in this document was prepared based on informa on available at the me of Financial Plan development and supported by management es mates. The Financial Plan is not audited. Certain prior year figures have been re-classified to conform with the presenta on adopted for the current year. These amounts are presented for compara ve purposes. The City prepares its Financial Plan in accordance with Part 6 of Bri sh Columbia’s Community Charter. The City uses an accrual basis of accoun ng for its financial repor ng except where this basis differs from provincial legisla on.

Financial Plan Overview Impact of Taxes & Utilities on an Average Residential Property Port Coquitlam property owners pay separate property tax and u lity bills. The amounts for both bills are combined in the charts below to show the full impact on a household. Property Taxes The City’s residen al property tax rates in 2016 increased by 2.99% for the average residen al property. These calcula ons use the 2015 value of an average residen al property, including both single-family and mul -family dwellings. The proposed property tax rate will be applied equally on a percentage basis to all property classifica ons. See the Enhancements, Savings & Efficiencies sec on on pages 24-26 for decisions that affected these figures.

U lity User Fees Water, sewer and solid waste (garbage/green cart) levies are flat annual user fees, and are the same for each single-family dwelling. Townhouse and apartments have lower water and sewer rates, and do not pay a garbage levy because they are not required to use City collec on services. Mul -family complexes and are charged a garbage fee if the complex and City agree to have the City provide the collec on service. The levies are approved by Council prior to the approval of the Financial Plan to meet billing deadlines in early 2016. There was no increase to any of these fees in 2016. The City’s Cost Recovery Policy states that user fees are to be set to recover the full cost of services, unless Council determines a subsidy is in the general public interest. The policy is detailed in Appendix C.

Financial Plan Overview Fund Structure The City’s Financial Plan and Financial Statements are consolidated and include the accounts of all funds in the City. Inter-fund transac ons and balances are eliminated from the financial statements but are included as internal recoveries between departments for budge ng purposes. A fund is a fiscal en ty of balanced accounts used by governments to control common financial ac vi es.

General Fund The General Fund is the primary opera ng fund used to manage a majority of the City’s financial resources and obliga ons. Some of the services that are provided from this fund include policing; fire services; recrea on programs and facili es; and solid waste. Water Fund The Water U lity is a user pay u lity that supplies water services to the proper es in the City and is funded from user fees. Sewer Fund This is also a user pay u lity that provides sanitary sewer services to proper es and is funded from user fees.

Financial Position (Reserves and Surplus) The City has Reserve Funds (Statutory Reserves) that are authorized by the Community Charter and/or City bylaw. The purpose of se ng aside reserves is to provide funding for various an cipated future expenditures to ensure sufficient funds are available when required and where possible to avoid the need to incur debt.

Statutory Reserves may only be used as authorized by the Community Charter and the related Council Bylaw. City reserves are further detailed on the next page. Surplus funds are the result of past budget surpluses (i.e. where actual revenues have been in excess of actual expenditures) and may be used for any municipal capital or opera ng purpose as authorized by Council. Currently, the City uses its surplus to finance opera ons prior to tax and u lity collec ons and, based on availability, to fund one- me opera ng and capital items.

Debt and Debt Limits The maximum amount of debt that may be held by a municipality is restricted by its ability to repay that debt (both interest and principle). This is represented as a Liability Servicing Limit and is set by the Provincial Government in the Community Charter. The current limit for 2016 is $23.3 million (of which the City is servicing $1.4 million).

## %, '% !,

The Community Charter regulates property taxes. City policies guide how fees and charges are determined. City bylaws set the rates. The total of the ongoing revenues includes sta-recommended decision packages.

Property Tax Property taxes are the City’s main source of revenue, financing a majority of the services provided by the City. Every property owner in the province must pay property taxes based on the value of their property, unless the property is specifically exempted by provincial statute. Statutory exemp ons are listed in the Community Charter. These proper es include, but are not limited to: • schools and universi es • places of public worship • hospitals The valua on of property within the City is determined by BC Assessment, a provincial Crown Corpora on that classifies and assesses the value of all real property in Bri sh Columbia.

In Bri sh Columbia, there are eight property classes: • • • • • • • •

Residen al U li es Major Industrial Light Industrial Business Other Managed Forest Land Recrea onal Property, Non-profit Organiza ons Farm Land

Under the Community Charter, the City may grant permissive tax exemp ons which exempt certain proper es from taxa on for a specified period of me. In Port Coquitlam, only non-profit organiza ons occupying municipal or school district property have been exempted by City Council policy. The exemp on is included in Schedule C of the City’s Financial Plan Bylaw. City policy requires property taxes be compe ve within the Metro Vancouver municipali es. When se ng tax rates, Council considers: • The amount of property taxes levied per capita, • Tax and u lity levies on a representa ve home, and • The property classifica on’s total assessed value and the amount of property taxes borne by that property classifica on.

Property Tax Distribution The City may set dierent tax rates for each property classifica on to a ain a reasonable tax distribu on. In Port Coquitlam, the 2016 tax distribu on policy will result in residen al proper es contribu ng 58% of property taxes, and non-residen al contribu ng 42%.

Revenues User Fees In accordance with the Community Charter, municipal governments set fees and charges by bylaw to cover reasonable costs of providing services to the public. The fees charged must be for the services delivered with no inten on of genera ng a surplus. The City’s Cost Recovery Policy states that user fees will be set to recover the full cost of services except where City Council determines that a subsidy is in the general public interest. Council will consider the following factors when determining whether a subsidy is in the general public interest: • Who benefits from the service? Services that benefit individuals will generally be subject to a high cost recovery while services that have a large public benefit will have a lower cost recovery.

• Will the level of demand for a service support full cost recovery? • What prices are others charging for the services? • How will the City collect fees charged for a service? In some cases it may be imprac cal for the City to implement fees, for example charging a fee for the use of the Traboulay PoCo Trail. • Will the fee established influence behaviour in the desired fashion? • Is the client able to pay for the service? The full cost of services delivered includes all direct costs (labour, materials, transporta on, facili es and services) and a 15% administra ve surcharge. The City’s user fees are supported by bylaws including the Sewer Rates Bylaw, Waterworks Regula on Bylaw, Solid Waste Bylaw, Fees and Charges Bylaw, Animal Control Bylaw, and False Alarm Bylaw.

Interest Income The City pools its available cash from various funds and invests in financial instruments in accordance with the City’s investment policy included in the City’s Financial Management Policy (Appendix C). Interest income con nues to remain steady, however is at lower than desired levels due to low market rates and lower reserve balances due to infrastructure spending (Coast Meridian Overpass). It is an cipated that as reserves are replenished, interest revenue will increase. However, future infrastructure spending (Community Recrea on Complex) is an cipated to decrease reserve levels and reduce interest income in coming years.

Revenues Grants in Lieu of Taxes The City receives grants in lieu of property taxes from: • Proper es owned by the Federal or Provincial Governments or their agencies. • Private u li es opera ng within Port Coquitlam at the rate of 1% of the u li es revenue from within the City. Es mates are based on expecta ons of the variables used to calculate the amount to be charged to these bodies. There is an expected increase in grants in lieu from Provincial bodies as they are calculated using the tax rate changes for the general rates. In addi on, there is an expected decline in private u li es company grants as they are based on reported revenue which has been declining in recent years due to increased compe on in the private sector. Overall, the changes are expected to oset resul ng in a sta c amount of grants in lieu for the next five-year period.

Office of the CAO Significant Impacts from 2015 The most significant budget impact is a salary transfer of $158,900 from Office of the CAO to Engineering & Public Works. A one- me project for Mul -family solid waste sales ($28,600) is included in 2015, but not con nued for 2016. There are also infla on increases.

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan There are a range of external and internal pressures and changes that are affec ng how the City operates. The external influences include: • The very clear message from taxpayers to control spending and minimize the tax burden. • The gap that exists between the need to replace aging infrastructure (roads, pipes, buildings) and the ability to pay for these replacements. • The increasing complexity of our work – the growing web of regula ons, the mul -jurisdic onal nature of the work.

32

• The exponen al use of technology and our customers’ expecta ons that they can do business with the City in the same way they do business with their bank or online retailer. • The public and media’s demands for transparent processes, input into civic ac vi es and easy access to informa on and results. • Increasing demand for the city to become more involved in the provision of “social services” to deal with the challenges of poverty, mental health and addic on issues. • Climate change con nues to be a factor in City opera ons. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. The internal influences include: • Employees’ ability to manage the amount and speed of change taking place in the organiza on. • The organiza on’s over reliance on a small number of key people.

BYLAW SERVICES

Corporate Support Significant Impacts from 2015 The most significant impact is the addi on of an internal charge recovery for services provided to Water, Sewer and Solid Waste u li es by Bylaw services ($75,800). There was also a minor infla on increase.

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • Enforcement on homeless camps and nuisance behaviours in public spaces is con nuing to draw a

large part of the Bylaw Division’s staff resources, with consequent impacts on special projects including parking enforcement and dog off-leash enforcement. • The long-term absence of a Division staff member has impacted service levels in animal control and will con nue to do so in 2016. • Maintaining and enhancing service to businesses will con nue to be a priority in 2016. The proposed work plan contains two projects related to business licensing.

BUILDING

Division Focus The Building Division plays a key role in ensuring that the construc on, altera on and maintenance of buildings and structures meet the development and building regula ons found in City bylaws, Provincial Acts and Codes and Na onal Standards. Its work supports the City’s vision by ensuring that buildings and building ac vi es in our community are safe, healthy, sustainable and accessible. The division’s sta work with the public and the business and development community to ensure both the goals of the builder/owner and the obliga ons

of the City are met. Permits are issued a er drawings and other required documents are determined to be acceptable for new construc on including addi ons, altera ons, mezzanines, swimming pools, retaining walls and decks; demoli ons; repairs and upgrades; changes in use; plumbing, installa on of sprinklers and water meters; and related works. Construc on is inspected at appropriate stages or, for large projects, monitored to ensure works are in keeping with the permit. Followup and enforcement ac on assists property and business owners to

understand and comply with building and licensing regula ons. The Source Control Program assists property and business owners to comply with regula ons protec ng water supply, sewer and drainage systems.

Significant Impacts from 2015 The most significant budget impact is from infla on increases. There is also a small increase in professional development and membership fees due to the enactment of the Building Act.

Business Perspective/ Environmental Scan • The Province has provided royal assent to the Building Act. Sec on 5 will eliminate local government authority to impose regula ons that are inconsistent with the BC Building Code (e.g., our requirement for sprinklers at the me of building altera ons). • Through the Building Act, the Province is providing enhanced support which will provide more eďŹƒcient responses to Code inquiries. This will also achieve more consistent applica on of codes and standards throughout the province.

DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • Guiding the growth and development of the community in a period of con nuing high levels of commercial, industrial, ins tu onal and residen al ac vi es con nues to be the primary focus of the Department. • Enhancing how the Department provides mely, effec ve and friendly customer service within exis ng resources supported by technical advances (mobile technology) and stream-lining procedures. • Policy work was deferred to support the review and processing of applica ons due to staff vacancy and the changes in staffing.

• The development community has con nued with a high level of ac vity and requests for enhanced customer services ( ming, informa on, online services, etc.) due to strong market condi ons and the limited availability of developable lands. • The City con nues to experience a high number of applicants with limited development experience. The Division seeks to ensure appropriate processes and procedures are in place to facilitate clear communica on and understanding for all applicants. • Changing goals of the community is resul ng in increasing expecta ons for infrastructure (eg. undergrounding wiring, sidewalks).

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • Aging infrastructure con nues to be a top issue for the department. We will con nue to support the work of the budget and infrastructure commi ee to create a long range capital plan that will meet the long term needs of the community. • The other major challenge is the aging workforce and a large volume of staff re ring. In 2015 we experienced significant re rements in the Parks sec on, and as a

result 2016 will be focused on recruitment, professional development, and knowledge transfer. • The re-development of the Community Recrea on Complex con nues to be a top priority, and this is a main area of focus for the Director. • Increasing pressure for accountability and delivery of capital projects.

Water Utility Significant Impacts from 2015

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan

As a result of the Water and Sewer Preliminary Rate Review, a number of expenses have been moved to more appropriate areas with the intent of more accurately capturing the costs associated with Water U lity services.

This work area is impacted by: • Legisla ve requirements such as the Drinking Water Protec on Act and Regional Liquid Waste Resource Management Plan. • Upda ng the City’s processes and procedures to meet industry best prac ces that guide maintenance of u lity infrastructure. • Fluctua ons in workload due to the reac ve nature of breaks and blockages of pipes and service connec ons. • Aging infrastructure is increasing pressure to maintain current service levels within exis ng resources. • There is increasing need for water conserva on due to extreme weather condi ons resul ng from climate change.

The most significant budget impact is a decrease in the budgeted amount for Metro Vancouver bulk water purchase of $858,000. There is a salary transfer from Engineering & Public Works Admin of $68,100 (50% of Manager of U li es), and a re-alloca on into the Water U lity from Solid Waste for Soil Disposal ($52,500). The reduc on package approved from 2015 for the Leak Loss & Conserva on Program of $20,800 was reduced in 2016. Fleet CIA savings of $16,500 was realized in 2016. Adjustments were included in 2016 for water tes ng ($16,000) previously paid by Metro, and increased costs to maintain prior years capital ($2,700).

Finance Significant Impacts from 2015 Significant budget impacts include a reduc on in the internal charge recovery for services provided to Water, Sewer and Solid Waste U li es by the Finance Department. These recoveries have been distributed to other departments to be er reflect their services. A one- me decision package was included in 2015 for Adver sing/ Sales ($33,000) which was not included in 2016. Revenue reduc ons in Accoun ng and a Posi on upgrade were adjusted in 2016. There were also minor infla on increases.

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • The ongoing implementa on of the Agresso Financial System is changing the way we do business. This includes the automa on of processes and electronic payments. Change management is required for staff, internal and external customers.

• Increased demand for developing new processes and repor ng tools which will help provide departments with be er access to mely financial informa on and analysis. This will help facilitate be er strategic decisions. • A number of re rements in the department have provided opportuni es for new ideas and process changes, while at the same me presen ng challenges around knowledge reten on and training new staff up to full capacity. • Con nual process changes and improvements within the City rely heavily on the exper se and resources of the Finance Department. • Development and support of the Port Coquitlam Community Founda on and its ini a ves have required an increased amount of resources from the Department.

Fire & Emergency Services Significant Impacts from 2015 The most significant budget impact is from the execu on of the IAFF Collec ve Agreement. The signing of the 20122020 IAFF Collec ve Agreement has been recognized in the department’s budget causing significant budgeted labour increases. A one- me project budget (Mobile Inspec on equipment purchase) was included in 2015 ($26,900) which does not appear in 2016.

• Preparedness Ini a ves – some of these include working alongside our business community so they are self-sustainable, training staff in rapid damage assessments, and ensuring city staff are trained in emergency response protocols. • Increased financial pressure of the falling Canadian Dollar (most fire equipment/materials are in USD). • Training – increasing call volume impacts to regularly scheduled training – inability to keep up with mandatory training.

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • Increasing Call Volume – many factors play into this including climate change, homelessness, popula on and infrastructure growth both locally and regionally.

City of Port Coquitlam


Human Resources Significant Impacts from 2015 The most significant budget impact is the posi on upgrade of one HR Advisor of $16,200. There are also infla on increases.

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • The City con nues to a ract top talent and has been able to fill posi ons with qualified and competent candidates with the excep on being some hard to fill engineering posi ons. • The City is less reliant on sector and regional labour force. This is providing a wider talent pool to draw from. • The employer’s ability to create greater flexibility within the work force is encumbered by the CUPE Collec ve Agreement.

• The City is undergoing cultural changes with varying levels of employee acceptance. • The employer has been unable to influence IAFF wage increases and the union has been very successful in pa ern bargaining; some offsets were achieved in last round of bargaining with IAFF. • In order to maintain a compe ve edge, non-monetary benefits need to be considered. The marketplace is changing in that employees are seeking greater flexibility in their work. Core business hours and alterna ve worksite arrangements are examples of opportuni es to increase employee reten on and a rac on.

RECREATION COMMUNITY SERVICES | FACILITY SERVICES | RECREATION

Overview The Recrea on Department has three divisions: Recrea on, Facili es and Community Services. The Department’s key roles are the delivery of recrea on, sport, community and cultural programs, events and services, and the opera on of recrea on facili es. The Department also ensures City facili es are well maintained, clean, safe, secure and opera onally eďŹƒcient through its preventa ve maintenance and energy management programs. Project management services for building renova ons are another key service provided by the Recrea on Department. Being responsive to iden fied community needs requires a variety of approaches from direct provision of services to establishing partnerships that leverage collec ve exper se and resources. Through a community engagement approach, the Department fosters eec ve community partnerships and works ‘with’ the community to build the capacity of ci zens and community groups by facilita ng sharing of informa on and resources

COMMUNITY SERVICES

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • The 2014 Na onal Recrea on Agenda emphasized the need for recrea on departments to priori ze ac ve living, inclusion and accessibility, connec on to nature, natural areas and parks, suppor ve environments that foster social connectedness, and to grow and sustain the capacity of the recrea on sector. • There is increasing value in establishing and maintaining strong community partnerships with mul ple sectors including educa on, health, sport and community serving agencies, to collec vely enhance quality of life and build healthy communi es. • Community fes vals, performing arts, and cultural events are increasingly capturing the public interest, making arts and cultural programming an increasingly important community engagement focus within recrea on service delivery. • As urban communi es become increasingly diverse, recrea on services/facili es must be responsive to a broader range of emerging needs and interests. Ensuring a welcoming environment, addressing language, cultural and financial barriers, and building rela onships with mul ple community groups and members are service delivery priori es.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

• Research evidence clearly links the physical and social health benefits of par cipa on in community recrea on programs and services with reduced risk factors for vulnerable individuals and families, increased community engagement and cohesion, and a sense of belonging and community pride. • Recrea on departments are adap ng to: the needs of aging popula ons and specifically the unique needs and interests of today’s ‘young’ seniors; increasingly busy and sedentary urban lifestyles; effec vely engage and empower youth; support early childhood development; address aging infrastructure; and manage transi ons in key roles as the work force ages. • Ongoing implementa on of Ac veNet registra on system has changed the way business is done. New processes and staff training are being developed to: fully u lize the so ware and to ensure accurate transac ons between Ac veNet and Agresso. • Suppor ng the redevelopment of the Port Coquitlam Recrea on Complex will con nue to be a priority and a main area of focus for the Director.

FACILITY SERVICES

Division Focus The Facility Services Division maintains and improves City facili es to meet public needs and expecta ons. Through the City’s Life Cycle Program, Energy Management Program, and the Department’s Asset Management Program, this division ensures a cost-eec ve approach to logically planning replacements for building infrastructure renewal and iden fying/implemen ng opportuni es for cost savings. In addi on, the division monitors and administers the City’s security program for buildings, recommending and implemen ng improvements as required. Furthermore the sec on oers project management services for Facility renova ons with building users as needed.

Significant Impacts from 2015 The most significant budget impacts include one- me projects included in 2015 which will not occur in 2016. These projects, funded from reserve, included the Fraser Health building demoli on ($200,000) and Asbestos Management program ($46,700). There are also infla on increases.

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • As facility infrastructure ages, life cycle maintenance ac vi es become more prominent. This will require propor onally more a en on and resources. • Aging facili es also are triggering a larger number of urgent facility maintenance requests. • The upward pressure of electricity and natural gas prices are increasing the importance of the City’s energy conserva on and building performance. • Increasing challenges related to technology advances and building systems becoming increasingly complex. The division’s focus is to oset this by increased sta training from manufacturers to compliment sta ’s skills.

RECREATION

Significant Impacts from 2015 The most significant budget impacts include one- me projects included in 2015 which will not occur in 2016. These projects, funded from reserve, included fitness and concession equipment replacement and facility upgrades and technical equipment ($277,500). The Fraser Valley Library Contract increased by $44,200 over 2015. Grant revenue was adjusted downwards by $8,600 for 2016. There were also infla on increases.

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • There is a growing demand for flexible program op ons, specialized classes and personal training sessions for individuals and teams. This requires a greater focus on enhancing the customer experience through service efficiencies and increased responsiveness to customer sugges ons/requests. • Child/youth inac vity and obesity con nues to increase contribu ng to the overall popula on trend of decreasing par cipa on in physical ac vity, sport and ac ve recrea onal pursuits which results in decling community health status and increased demand on the medical system.

• There is con nued focus within the recrea on sector on the value of neighborhood connec vity and gathering to celebrate and engage in worthwhile community ini a ves and short dura on projects. • Mental health, addic on and homelessness issues contribute to an increase in nusance behaviors, safety and security issues within City facili es. • Volunteer involvement is shi ing to more interest in short dura on commitments, making it more of a challenge to recruit volunteers for event task forces, advisory boards and community sport leadership posi ons. • Internal and external communica ons must adapt to advances in technology. Ie. Staff scheduling and customer no fica ons. • Aging workforce has resulted in the need for succession planning to ensure knowledge transfer on ice plant repair, pool maintenance and overall facility upkeep. • There is increased emphasis on evidenced based decisions. Development of sta s cal metrics, meaningful qualita ve indicators and financial analysis for the planning within the recrea on sector is required.

RCMP Significant Impacts from 2015 The RCMP Contract had an increase of $544,300 due to contract infla on factors. An addi onal amount of $267,500 is required to fund addi onal RCMP officers. The Public Safety Building had an increase of $45,100 due to contract infla on factors.

Business Perspective/Environmental Scan • Community and stakeholder survey results con nue to indicate high levels of public sa sfac on with police service in Port Coquitlam. • Years of slow police resource growth have necessitated an ongoing shi of resources away from strategic/ proac ve du es in the City of Port Coquitlam in order to support reac ve/response du es. As a result,

progress in several key strategic/proac ve ini a ves has stalled and ac vity levels in almost all signal crime types—the of vehicle, the from vehicle, break & enter (residence, business & other), and robbery—are above both 2014 levels and the 5 year trend line. • The cost and complexity of police work con nues to be impacted by external factors like changes to policy and legisla on or judicial decisions. For example, police now need warrants to access cell phones, surveillance video and even some physical evidence—adding to the me and expense of inves ga ons. • The ongoing expansion of Metro Vancouver’s Northeast Sector; including residen al, commercial and industrial development as well as new infrastructure; will con nue to increase the permanent and ambient popula on of our jurisdic on which will lead to increases in crime, disorder and calls for police service.

Workplan Highlights – 2016 Deliverables Key Goal Reduce: • Crime • Collisions • The impact of non-police calls for service on police resources Engage: • Employees and volunteers • Partners and stakeholders • Clients and ci zens Strengthen: • Leadership • Supervision • Governance • Opera ons Con nue special projects including Child ID, Distracted Driving, Pedestrian Safety, Crime Preven on, An -Graffi , Bike Patrol.

Capital Program www.portcoquitlam.ca/budget


2016-2020 Capital Program Introduction The Capital Program provides for maintenance and replacement of exis ng capital assets, as well as construc on of new public facili es and infrastructure as required within available funds. The City has defined capital as asset projects owned by the City having useful lives greater than one year and mee ng the threshold criteria shown below. During 2016, the Budget & Infrastructure advisory commi ee will review the condi on of the City’s infrastructure and design a new funding model and plan that will allow the City to meet its long-term infrastructure needs in a sustainable and structured way. While the advisory commi ee conducts this work, the primary focus for the 2016 Capital Program is on essen al maintenance, commi ed projects, mul -year ini a ves, and projects aligning with the City’s Strategy Plan. A new funding model is expected to be in place for the 2017 budget.

Capital Expenditure Policy Items that meet the criteria of capital will be capitalized and then amor zed over the useful life of the asset. Capital is defined as non-financial assets having physical substance that: • Are held for use in the produc on or supply of goods and services, for rental to others, for administra ve purposes or for the development, construc on, maintenance or repair of other tangible capital assets; • Have useful economic lives extending beyond an accoun ng period; • Are to be used on a con nuing basis; and • Are not for sale in the ordinary course of opera ons.

Capital Requirements The City sets aside funds to address the infrastructure funding gap – the difference between the amount the City holds in reserves for infrastructure maintenance and replacement and the efficient amount required to fund these assets as they deplete without incurring debt.

2016-2020 Capital Program Total Capital Expenditures by Category and Funding Capital projects are funded by various means, including capital reserves, development cost charge reserves, grants, and accumulated surplus. The City maintains capital reserve funds with the objec ve of se ng funds aside to contribute to future capital expenditures. Development cost charges (DCCs) are funds acquired from special levies assessed

to new developments. The purpose of DCCs are for new developments to pay for city services rela ng to growth. The City can apply for grants from a variety of sources to fund capital expenditures. Accumulated surplus represents the amount by which city assets exceed liabili es. This surplus can be used to fund capital expenditures.

In addi on to the above assets there are parks playgrounds and buildings; four outdoor pools; a fleet of maintenance and opera ng vehicles & equipment; computer equipment; office furniture & equipment; plus a variety of other proper es including one-third of the police building, police vehicles and equipment. The useful life of these assets varies from three years to more than seventy. The City’s infrastructure is segmented into the following asset categories: • • • • • • • • •

136

Land Land Improvements Buildings Vehicles, Machinery, Equipment Water Infrastructure Sanitary Infrastructure Drainage Infrastructure Transporta on Infrastructure Parks Infrastructure

Category Descrip ons Land Includes land purchased or acquired for parks and recrea on, building sites, infrastructure (roads, dikes, bridges, etc) and other City purposes. Land Improvements Includes all long-term improvements to land including parking lots, dikes and environmental compensa on works. Buildings The replacement cost of buildings owned by the City exceeds $66 million. These buildings include City Hall, two Fire Halls, Port Coquitlam Recrea on Complex, Hyde Creek Recrea on Centre, Terry Fox Library, the Gathering Place, the Opera ons Centre, Simon Fraser Health Unit, the Outlet, the Annex and a number of smaller buildings. The City uses the Land Sale Reserve as a funding source for the development of Civic Buildings. Expenditures funded from the Land Sale Reserve are repaid with an annual transfer from the general tax levy. Vehicles, Machinery & Equipment The City has a fleet of vehicles, shop and technology equipment that assists with delivery of city services to the community. More specifically the City has: • Fire Equipment – “Quint” fire trucks, fire pumper trucks, a rescue truck and several smaller vehicles. • Opera ons Equipment – automated garbage pickup vehicles, dump trucks, backhoes, step vans, welders, trailers, cars and pickups. • Parks and Recrea on Equipment – dump trucks, backhoes, mowers, ice machines and pickups. • Informa on Systems Equipment and So ware – includes over 200 PCs, servers, printers, storage units and other hardware, plus specialized so ware packages for municipali es. The City’s Financial Plan includes annual alloca ons to reserves for each of the equipment groups. Funds allocated to these reserves are from property taxes and u lity user fees.

City of Port Coquitlam


2016-2020 Capital Program Infrastructure Categories Category Descrip ons (cont.) Water Infrastructure The water distribu on system has two components; the Metro Vancouver water system and the City’s own distribu on system. The City and other member municipali es pay for Metro Vancouver water system opera ons and capital works through levies imposed by the regional district. While Metro Vancouver supplies the water, the City distributes it to users throughout the community. Key elements of the City’s water distribu on system are water mains, valves, hydrants, individual water service connec ons, water meters, pumping sta ons and instrumenta on. The ini al installa on of watermains was in the mid-1960s. With a 70 year projected life, the ini al installa on will be due for replacement in about 30 years.

Similar to the water system, the ini al installa on of the sewer system was constructed in the mid-1960s. With a 70 year projected life, that ini al installa on will be due for replacement in about 20 years.

To date, only a por on of the water infrastructure costs has been funded through City u lity user fees. Funding for the ini al water infrastructure systems was through either:

Funding for the replacement of sewer infrastructure is similar to the funding for water replacement and these works are paid using the City’s annual sewer u lity fees.

• Senior government grants, which are no longer available; • City borrowing; and/or • Property owner funding when new construc on takes places. Current and future infrastructure replacement is expected to be funded through user fees and other sources as they become available. Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure Metro Vancouver sewer system takes sewage collected through City sewer mains and transports it to their sewage treatment plant where contaminants are removed. The City pays Metro Vancouver for this service through a charge levied according to the volume of liquid waste Port Coquitlam delivers to the Metro Vancouver. The City owns and operates the sewage collec on system within Port Coquitlam using more than 180 km of sewer mains, ranging from 100 mm to 750 mm in diameter. The City has twenty-three sewage pump sta ons that keep the flow of sewage moving through the City’s mains and into the Metro Vancouver system for treatment.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

Transporta on Infrastructure This category includes road structures, bridges, an underpass, an overpass, sidewalks, bike networks, traffic calming works and traffic signals. In Port Coquitlam Road Rehabilita on has historically been treated as an opera ng expenditure and it is not included within the Capital funding envelope. The life span for Road capital works varies widely depending on asset type. Drainage Infrastructure The Drainage system consists of storm mains, individual service connec ons, eight pump sta ons, catch basins, culverts and manholes. The Drainage system was ini ally built in the mid-1960s. With a 70-year projected life, the ini al installa ons will be due for replacement in 30 years. Parks Infrastructure Assets in the Parks Infrastructure sec on include playground equipment, park fencing, tennis courts, sports fields, underground park sprinkler systems, outdoor pools, the Traboulay PoCo Trail, and other park assets.

2016-2020 Capital Program Funding Envelopes Funding envelopes are the annual property tax alloca on to capital projects. Directors are responsible for managing the special opera ng and capital works within their departments. Reserves have been established for specified purposes to provide for longer term capital planning. Summary Funding Envelopes: Category Unallocated Capital Funding Envelope Road and Drainage Corporate Fleet Water Sewer Federal Gas Tax Parks and Recrea on IS Equipment Ar ficial Field Pubic Safety Building Total

Funding Envelopes are intended to fund all projects, including the City’s share of Development Cost Charge projects, with the excep on of: • Major renova ons, replacements, new addi ons to parks, recrea on facili es and civic buildings; and • Bridges, overpasses and underpasses.

Capital and Opera ng Reserves The City maintains reserve funds with the objec ve of se ng funds aside to contribute to future capital and special opera ng expenditures. City reserves include Roads and Drainage, Land Sales, Water, Sewer, Recrea on, Equipment, Environment and the Public Safety Building. Development Cost Charge Reserves Development Cost Charges (DCCs) are funds acquired from special levies assessed to new developments. The purpose of DCCs is for new development to pay for city services rela ng to growth.

Operating Impacts of the Capital Program When construc ng capital projects, there is typically a small por on needed for annual maintenance of the new asset.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits The City operates a City Fleet, which includes the ren ng, leasing, and ownership of the equipment and vehicles needed to undertake day-to-day opera ons in an efficient and effec ve manner. As the equipment and vehicles, which are owned by the City, become too expensive to maintain or become unreliable (and therefore, are not available when needed), these vehicles and equipment are replaced. Replacement of vehicles and equipment include an assessment of vehicle and equipment condi on, and a cost/benefit analysis to determine if replacement can be deferred for one or more years while maintaining low opera ng costs and high in-service availability. Where replacement is required, the func onality of the current vehicle is reviewed and right-sized if addi onal features are needed for its intended use, or downsized if some features are not needed. Deferring replacement of vehicles and equipment may result in increased opera ng and maintenance costs as well as addi onal costs due to down me as a result of vehicles and equipment not being available when needed. The planned equipment replacements for 2016 include:

• EQ7002 Turf Aerator - $40,000: This Parks Department tool to improve soil drainage was originally purchased in 2008, and is scheduled for replacement in 2016. • Traffic Signal LEDs - $120,000: LED arrays were installed in traffic signals in 2009, and are scheduled for replacement in 2016. • EQ1112 Pickup Truck - $51,500: This Public Works Department pickup truck went into service in 2006, and was originally scheduled for replacement in 2018. A catastrophic engine failure necessitated immediate replacement. • EQ2039 Loader Backhoe - $152,000: This Public Works Department backhoe went into service in 2007, and was originally scheduled for replacement in 2015. A catastrophic transmission failure necessitated immediate replacement. The Fleet Replacement Program is an integral component of the City’s Strategic Plan for a Strategic Service Delivery and a Sustainable Future. The Fleet Replacement Program encompasses all corporate fleet assets and some specialty loans such as Traffic Signals.

• EQ0094 Pickup Truck - $44,000: This Fire Department pickup truck went into service in 2005, and was originally scheduled for replacement in 2014.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits The Fire Department is mandated by Worksafe BC to provide industrial cleaning of PPE (Personal Protec ve Equipment) to ensure contaminants and toxic components harmful to health are removed from the PPE. The Fire Department purchased used industrial cleaning equipment 21 years ago for $14,000. This set is no longer able to be properly maintained as the models are no longer in existence or parts available.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

Although these machines are very expensive the alternate is even more costly. Sending the PPE out to an industrial cleaning facility is very expensive and results in gear being gone for long periods of me, which would necessitate the purchase of a second set of gear to ensure enough gear for on duty crews at all mes.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits When Firehall #1 was built in 1994, an underground fuel storage system was also installed to ensure the ability of the Firehall to remain opera onal during an earthquake or other large scale incident that resulted in loss of power to the facility. The system contains a 2,100 -itre underground tank that supplies diesel fuel to a 600-litre holding tank in the Firehall generator through a series of pipes and pumps. This system supplies fuel to the backup generator in the Firehall to ensure the ability to remain self-suďŹƒcient for up to one week. A recent failure of the system and subsequent review conducted by City Facili es sta and an independent contractor confirmed the system is no longer viable based

142

on age. Currently the Firehall is set up to run o the holding tank only, which will only allow for 24 hours of power for the facility in the case of a power outage. This system has already been directly tested when a recent wind storm caused a loss of power to the Firehall for 10 hours. The underground system is being replaced with an above ground tank to alleviate concerns regarding water table contamina on and to facilitate repairs and maintenance on the tank. The costs for replacement include the cost of the new tank, decommissioning of the old tank, permits, and possible disposal of contaminated soil.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits This project will complete the sec on of Pi River Road/ McLean Avenue between Mary Hill Road and Taylor Street to an arterial standard. The road widening will occur on the north side of Pi River Road/McLean Avenue and will include pavement widening, curb & gu er, sidewalks, and associated street ligh ng. Retaining walls will also be required. In addi on, the exis ng sidewalk and curb & gu er on the south side of the street will be repaired or replaced depending on its condi on, hydro poles will be relocated from the roadway, and where needed, the full width of the roadway will be re-surfaced. The project will complete the sidewalk network in the area, upgrade the street ligh ng to current Transporta on Associa on of Canada guidelines, and provide some supply of on-street parking.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

In addi on, to meet the City’s subdivision servicing requirements for the City’s 2015 McLean Avenue subdivision, the southern half of McLean Avenue fron ng the subdivision and the rear lane will be repaved, and underground hydro/telephone/cable service connec ons will be installed. On Pi River Road, the project also includes the replacement of the exis ng 150mm diameter water main and service connec ons, installa on of addi onal hydrants to improve fire protec on, and a storm sewer with service connec ons. On McLean Avenue, the project also includes installa on of 400mm diameter water supply main, replacement of water service connec ons, and installa on of addi onal hydrants.

150mm water main is undersized, has had three breaks, and needs to be replaced with a larger 250mm diameter water main. The road rehabilita on program is 100% funded by Metro Vancouver through their annual Opera ons, Maintenance and Rehabilita on (OMR) funding program. City maintains an MRN Reserve of accumulated OMR funding, which is dedicated to this purpose. The program will maintain the MRN pavements in a “state of good repair” as recommended in TransLink’s 2013 Base Plan. The rehabilita on of the exis ng MRN pavement infrastructure is an integral component of the City’s Strategic Plan for a Sustainable Future.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits Nicola Avenue is a par ally constructed municipal collector road. Developers have constructed the east and west ends of Nicola Avenue to commercial road standards to provide access to the adjacent commercial proper es. However, the centre sec on of this street has not been constructed, and this has created ongoing traffic conges on. In 2015 Council approved $540,000 to complete the center sec on of Nicola Avenue to collector road standards to improve traffic circula on within the Dominion Triangle. The 2015 project budget included $112,400 to complete the water and sewer mains, and $427,600 for road and drainage works, while other poten al project costs such as right-of-way acquisi on, environmental compensa on, fill/preload, and third party u lity costs, were to be in addi on. During 2015, the City retained a geotechnical consultant to evaluate exis ng ground condi ons and poten al long-term soil se lement. This review determined that the road allowance required 2 to 2.5 meters of preload fill for a period of 3 to 4 months prior to undertaking road construc on, which was not accounted for in the 2015 project budget.

146

The City also entered into nego a ons with the land owner to acquire ownership of the road allowance needed to complete the road extension and servicing. Under the agreement the City is responsible for the removal of the berm and the truck wash within the road allowance, filling and preloading the road allowance, and installing the roadworks, drainage, sidewalks, and street ligh ng to commercial road standards while the Developer will be responsible for the installa on of the water and sanitary systems, underground private u li es, and site servicing. To complete this project, $427,600 will be carried forward from the 2015 budget for road & drainage works with an addi onal $203,000 required in 2016 to complete the fill and preload works. A final li of asphalt will need to be budgeted by the city in the future once the Developer completes the underground u lity work.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits The City of Port Coquitlam u lizes water meters for its ins tu onal, commercial, and industrial (ICI) customers to determine the actual amount of water used by each customer. The purpose of metering these customers, as opposed to residen al customers, is that water consump on can vary quite substan ally in these sectors, and therefore a flat rate system is not considered fair and equitable. Over me as water meters age, they typically under-report water consump on rather than over-report consump on. Nearly 50% of the City’s in-service water meters are more than 15 years old.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

The City currently has 574 meters in service, including 66 large meters (greater than 2”) and 508 small meters (2” and smaller). Phase 1 of the program was completed in 2015 with all of the 1.5” and 2” meters older than 20 years of age being replaced. The 2nd and last phase of this program will be to replace the balance of the City’s aging small water meters that are older than 15 years of age. This will ensure that the cost for treated water is being distributed fairly and equitably between the City’s metered and un-metered customers. This program meets the objec ves of the City’s Strategic Plan for a Sustainable Future, Economic Strength, and Community Well-being.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits The Lougheed Highway Bridge Eastbound at the Coquitlam River is nearing the end of its service life. A 2015 bridge inspec on completed by Associated Engineering observed significant structural defects and accelerated deteriora on of the bridge since the previous inspec on. Replacement of the bridge within five years is recommended. Immediate repairs are required to maintain the safe opera on of the bridge un l it can be replaced. The recommended repairs to maintain safe opera on of the bridge include the sealing of deck joints and concrete

148

cracks, pain ng areas of heavy corrosion with ThermaRust paint, installing flashing around truss ver cals at the sidewalks, and strengthening the severely deteriorated truss elements to reinstate the structural integrity of the truss. This scope of work is proposed with the assump on that the bridge will be replaced in the next five years. This project is consistent with Council’s priori es and the City of Port Coquitlam Corporate Strategic Plan to maintain goods movement within and through the city and protect residents, businesses and proper es.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits The Ministry of Transporta on and Infrastructure guidelines are widely recognized as the baseline for frequencies of bridge inspec ons and recommends at minimum comple ng a detailed inspec on once every five years. It is especially important to inspect the cables and major structural elements early in life to detect issues before they become more costly repairs. The Coast Meridian Overpass is six years old and requires a detailed close proximity inspec on. This project will verify the bridge is in safe opera ng condi on and iden fy preventa ve maintenance in advance, rather than deferring to more costly reac ve repairs in the future. A detailed inspec on is a close up, arms reach inspec on of all parts of a structure and may be supplemented by field tests.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

U lizing specialized li s or climbing equipment inspectors will access the bridge cables, piers and steel girders to assess the condi on of all cri cal bridge components. Each element is evaluated for material deteriora on, weather and aging eects, load-induced distress, and indica ons of overloading. Steel members are evaluated for signs of corrosion, material loss, cracking, weld defects, missing bolts and bent or damaged members. Concrete elements are examined for cracking, delamina on, exposed rebar and general degrada on. This project is consistent with Council’s priori es and the City of Port Coquitlam Corporate Strategic Plan to maintain goods movement within and through the City and to protect residents, businesses and property.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits The City regularly receives complaints from residents regarding local drainage issues. The Transporta on Solu ons & Public Works (TSPW) Commi ee considers smaller drainage issues while larger drainage issues are considered during the annual Financial Plan budget process. This Project was endorsed by the TSPW Commi ee to bring forward to Council. Residents in the 3400 Block Lafleur Street and users of the west-side Coquitlam River trail system have reported ongoing street drainage issues, par cularly during the winter months when icing can be a problem. Although the

150

street is paved and curbed with a sidewalk along the eastside boulevard, there is no storm sewer system. The scope of work for this project includes installa on of 45 meters of storm sewer, installa on of a manhole, catch basins, service connec ons, and the replacement of approximately 35 meters of broken curbing. This project supports the following objec ves of the Corporate Strategic Plan: • Maintain the City’s infrastructure • Create a sustainable community

Project Description & Estimated Benefits Sun Valley Spray Park has been iden fied for enhancement in the next one to five year short-term period. The recommenda on is to “Design and build a spray park that will expand, complement and enhance the water play experience at Sun Valley Park”. The City was successful in receiving funding from the Canada 150 Infrastructure Funding Grant Program of up to 50% of the total cost of the project, currently es mated at $250,000. Renova ons, upgrades and expansion are required on the 27 year old Sun Valley Spray Park in order to ensure safety for the community, lessen the environmental impact through waste water reduc on, add up to 30% more interac ve water play areas, complemen ng the exis ng wading pool and minor enhancements to the washroom facility to upgrade accessibility standards for people with disabili es. The exis ng spray features and concrete pad would stay, adding in three new water features; however, a new over spray zone and ultra violet secondary water treatment process would be required as per the Fraser Health Authority’s code.

The objec ves of the project are to: Update the water management system of the exis ng water park A recircula ng system will eliminate the high potable water being directed to the sanitary sewer system. This represents a large amount of chlorinated water being deposited into the sanitary system, increasing the required capacity of the pipes and costs of treated water. The recircula ng system will treat/reuse the water on-site with a small amount of make-up water required. This will represent a significant environmental and cost benefit by minimizing the volume of water used and significantly reducing the cost of the water supply and disposal of this water through the Metro Vancouver sewage treatment facili es. Expand the popular water park by 30% With the popularity of spray parks increasing, a larger park will be able to cater to more children during the summer months. Update the aging infrastructure Installing and upda ng the controllers and electrical components will significantly reduce opera ng costs of the system and ensure the spray park is func onal for many years into the future. Relates to the Corporate Strategic Plan direc on Sense of Community and Council’s Infrastructure Priority.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits The Port Coquitlam Cemetery has a large demand for internment of remains in the columbarium. Currently the exis ng columbarium is sold out. The plan allows for a phased program to provide 480 niches in seven (7) smaller columbariums to meet the needs of the community for the next ten (10) years. The 2015 capital budget provided funds for a plan to increase the number of columbarium niches and provide a unit to meet the immediate demand. The 2015 phase will provide one (1), 40 niche columbarium for immediate use.

166

The 2016 phase will provide for grading and site improvement to allow the addi onal columbariums to be installed as they are required. The funding for this project is from the Cemetery Expansion Reserve Fund, which are fees collected through the sale of each internment. The costs of this project are fully recoverable over me, through niche sales. Relates to the Strategic Plan outcome Community Well Being.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits Barrier fencing has been installed throughout the park system to protect pedestrian trails along roadways and to define park spaces and prevent vehicle access. This feature also encourages healthy outdoor ac vi es. A large por on of the barrier fencing was installed more than 20 years ago and is past its life cycle. The current pressure trea ng available for fence posts only has a life cycle of 12 years. In response, the City has devised a concrete post with a wooden railing as a replacement.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

The concrete fence posts will have a life cycle of at least 25 years. A large por on of the original fencing needs to be replaced in a phased approach over the next 3 to 5 years. The 2016 proposal is to replace 300 meters of barrier fencing on the Traboulay PoCo Trail along Argue Street. Relates to the Strategic Plan outcome Community Well Being.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits The last major renova on of City Hall was in 1985. This renova on included the current entry points. In order to meet the Building Code of that me, an accessible entrance door was installed on the East side of the building. The West entrance currently does not have an accessible entrance; however, accessibility ramps do provide improved access from the outside courtyard. In order to improve customer service for patrons visi ng City Hall, we will be renova ng the West entrance to enhance the accessibility of this well-used entry point. Due to the current design of the exis ng doors, accessible door actuators cannot be installed; therefore, a new door system would have to be designed and installed to achieve the accessibility requirement at this entrance. This would involve removing the exis ng double glass door system and installing a single door system. Two op ons were reviewed which were equal in cost. Op on A: Glass bi-part sliding doors that would be a ached to the outside of the building and centred on the exis ng concrete structure.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

Op on B: Swing door system built inside the concrete structure (similar to the East entrance). The project will be awarded through the tender process, the op on chosen will depend on the outcome of this process. As the building is a heritage building, in addi on to a building permit, a Heritage Altera on Permit would have to be included as part of the process. All design, permits, electrical and construc on costs have been allowed for in the budget. As the exis ng doors are not weather sealed due to their design, the replacement door system would improve the energy eďŹƒciency of City Hall as the new door system would be weather sealed reducing heat loss in the colder months.

Project Description & Estimated Benefits Since the comple on of the Hyde Creek Recrea on Centre renova on project in 1995 there has been a significant increase in user demands on the hot tub, lap and leisure pools. The high bather loads and shortened periods to conduct tradi onal methods of disinfec on (superchlorina ons and backwashes, along with requiring the associated mechanical support systems to operate at 100%) make it more difficult to maintain proper air/water quality and result in frequent spiking of chloramine levels. When chloramine levels spike as a result heavy bather loads, the pool is s ll safe to operate; however, staff and patrons have complained of experiencing irrita on to their eyes, skin and respiratory systems. In 2014, a secondary filtra on system was installed in the Leisure Pool with immediate benefits. To remain consistent with improving pool disinfec on and air quality, the same system will be installed on the Hot Tub system. The 20 year old Hot Tub pool filtra on system is a single sand filtra on treatment technology. Industry standard now recommends a two system process to meet the growing demands on water/air quality. The hot tub pool has been iden fied as a major contributor to increased chloramine levels. Installing a secondary ultraviolet disinfec on system on the hot tub pool will enhance our current water treatment process.

176

The benefits of ultra violet as a secondary water treatment are: • improves the ability to safely treat against chlorine tolerant pathogens such as Cryptosporidium, • improves water disinfec on processes, • improves air/water quality, • increases safety of the environment for staff and patrons, • enhances the quality of the user experience in the facility, • reduc on of metal and building infrastructure corrosion, • reduces the need for “shock treatments” to reduce chlorine levels, • provides a non-hazardous, non-chemical and green technology solu on, and • cost savings generated by reduced staff and opera ng costs will provide a conserva ve es mate of payback on this investment of three years.

Appendix B – Financial Plan Development and Timetable Legislative Requirements The Community Charter of Bri sh Columbia requires that the City prepare a five-year Financial Plan. This provincial legisla on requires that the City undertake a public consulta on process prior to adop ng or amending the Financial Plan. The Financial Plan and any necessary revisions thereto must be authorized by bylaw.

Annual City Process The Financial Plan content and direc on is guided by the City’s Corporate Strategic Plan (Appendix D). Addi onal direc on is provided by the development of Business Planning and Budget Guidelines (Appendix A). These guidelines iden fy specific service area priori es and parameters for taxa on and levy increases for the five-year financial cycle. The Corporate Strategic Plan is commonly reviewed and updated each spring by Council and the annual Financial Plan Guidelines are established between June and July each year. Prior to approval of the Business Planning and Budget Guidelines, the Finance & Intergovernmental Commi ee holds a public consulta on session to iden fy issues and desires from the public rela ve to the upcoming financial planning cycle. As a result of this consulta on, the Commi ee may modify the proposed guidelines or provide addi onal direc on to staff for the prepara on of the Financial Plan. Between November and December, in the year prior to the first year of the Plan, City staff complete a staff proposed Financial Plan for presenta on to Council. Council subsequently considers the staff plan, amends it as required, and adopts the modified plan, by bylaw, early in the first year of the Plan. Once approved, the tax rate bylaw is prepared and is adopted by April or May in the first year of the Plan when tax assessed values for the year are finalized.

Public Consultation The public process for developing the 2016-2020 Financial Plan began in December 2015, con nued throughout winter and early spring, and concluded in March. Consulta on was done through several methods:

• A Budget Highlights booklet was available for distribu on at all city facili es. • An online budget survey was available, this was adver sed through social media and our city’s email newsle er. • Public input opportuni es at a both Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee mee ngs and Council mee ngs. The online budget survey provides a forum for residents to offer their ideas on how the City can increase efficiencies, generate new revenues, and/or make effec ve changes to service delivery. Sugges ons or ideas that fell within the scope of what the City provides were reviewed and considered for the 2016 budget process. The results of this survey were presented to the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee in March.

Financial Plan Timetable May • Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee approved guidelines (Appendix A) and Council Priori es (page 8) January • Department business plans presented to Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee • Open delibera on sessions held on proposed decision packages and capital plan • Open delibera on sessions held on proposed opera ng and service level changes • Water and Sewer rates bylaws approved February • Dra Financial Plan presented to public for comment through budget survey March • Results of public input presented to Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee May • Council approved Financial Plan Bylaw • Council approved Tax Rates Bylaw

Appendix C – Financial Management Policy 3. Financial Plan (cont) Development & Document Department Heads are responsible for: • Providing base budget es mates for the succeeding calendar year based on an cipated cost increase factors provided by Finance or as iden fied by the Department. • Providing Financial Plan informa on in the required format. • Providing informa on in accordance with the approved Financial Plan calendar. • Providing Decision Packages either enhancing or reducing the current level of service. Keeping in mind that: · All funding requests will be made through the budget process. · To the extent feasible, personnel cost reduc ons will be achieved through a ri on. The Finance Division is responsible for coordina ng all aspects of the Financial Plan process, analyzing department budget informa on, preparing nondepartmental revenue es mates, assembling the budget document and assis ng Departments Heads in iden fying budget problems and formula ng solu ons and alterna ves.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

f. The City has established annual alloca ons from general revenue (referred to as capital funding envelopes) to provide funding for capital works. Capital funding envelopes are established for all major infrastructure categories and for some subcategories. These funding envelopes are expected to fund all of the capital requirements (new and replacement) for each area except: · Bridges, overpasses and underpasses · Parks and Recrea on new facili es cos ng over $500,000 · Major renova on or new construc on of Civic Buildings. The annual capital funding envelope alloca on is either spent in the year (on respec ve capital projects) or is transferred to a reserve to be used in a future year for the same purpose. Since capital expenditures fluctuate from year to year, the use of funding envelopes is intended to smooth, or annualize, the cost of capital expenditures. Carry forward budgets Funding for approved one- me opera ng or capital projects will be carried forward to the following years Financial Plan under the following condi ons: • The project or purchase has been started, and • Only the net unspent amount will be automa cally carried forward. Unspent opera ng funds will not be carried forward without specific approval of the Chief Administra ve Officer. Monitoring Department Heads have primary responsibility for monitoring their department’s financial performance. The Finance Division will submit a quarterly Financial Report to the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee as soon as prac cable following June 30th, September 30th and December 31st providing at a minimum: • an analysis of budgeted versus actual/projected revenues and expenditures; • a review of capital works focusing on projects/ items budgeted to cost greater than $100,000 including an indica on of whether or not the project is proceeding according to schedule.

Appendix C – Financial Management Policy 3. Financial Plan (cont) Changes Department Head Authority Departments Heads may move opera ng budget amounts from any line item to any other line item within their departmental opera ng budget provided: • That the bo om line (revenues minus expenditures) for their department is not adversely impacted, and • Budgets are not used for items which otherwise would have been required to be submi ed as a budget enhancement, and • Budgets must remain within the same Fund, and • Monies remaining at the comple on of a special project or one- me funding project are not reallocated, and • Department Heads are responsible for obtaining approval from the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee if any service objec ves might not be achieved as a result of budget transfers. Department Heads may transfer capital budget amounts from any line item to any line item within their departmental capital budget providing: • The project/item proposed is an appropriate use of the monies to be transferred • That budgets remain within the same Fund. Chief Administra ve Officer Authority Approval of the Chief Administra ve Officer is required for all inter-departmental opera ng or capital budget transfers. Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee Authority Approval of the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee is required on transfers between opera ng and capital budgets or between Funds. Council Approval A bylaw amendment requiring Council approval is necessary to authorize budget changes/transfers that result in an overall increase in City opera ng and/or capital expenditures. 4. Revenue a. The City will review fees/charges, at a minimum on a biennial basis, to ensure that they keep pace with changes in the cost-of-living, as well as, changes in the methods or levels of service delivery. b. The City will encourage the use of alternate revenue sources instead of property taxes. c. General Revenues will not be dedicated for specific purposes, unless required by law or generally accepted accoun ng prac ces (GAAP).

184

5. Cost Recovery User fees will be set to recover the full cost of services except where the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee determines that a subsidy is in the general public interest. The following factors will be considered when determining whether a subsidy is in the general public interest: • Who benefits from the service? Services that benefit individuals will generally be subject to a higher cost recovery while services that have a large public benefit will have a lower cost recovery. • Will the level of demand for a service support full cost recovery? • What prices are others charging for the services? • How will the City collect fees charged for a service? In some cases it may be imprac cal for the City to implement fees, as they may be too costly to administer, for example charging a fee for the use of the Traboulay PoCo Trail. • Will the fee established influence behaviour in the desired fashion? • Is the client able to pay for the service? Full cost includes all direct costs (labour, materials, transporta on, facili es and services) and a 15% administra ve surcharge. 6. Cash Management / Investments a. The City will select its official banking ins tu on through a formal bidding process in order to provide the City with the most comprehensive, flexible, and cost-effec ve banking services. b. The City will promptly deposit all funds received. c. The City’s cash may be invested in any of the securi es iden fied as eligible investments in the Community Charter. d. The City will strive to maximize the return on its investment por olio with the primary objec ve of safety and liquidity. e. All investments, except deposits into the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) pooled funds, shall be made through an informal bidding process. The informal bidding process involves the City contac ng investment dealers and obtaining verbal quota ons and placement of the investment based upon the verbal quota ons received. f. The City will follow an aggressive, but sensi ve policy, of collec ng all moneys due the City to the extent that the collec on efforts are cost effec ve. Con nued on next page

Appendix C – Financial Management Policy 7. Debt Financing Debt financing for capital expenditures will only be considered for expenditures larger than those covered within a department’s capital funding envelope. Debt financing for opera ng costs will not be considered except for temporary short-term borrowing that may be required from me-to- me for cash flow reasons only to finance opera ons prior to the annual property tax and levies being collected. 8. Surplus The Community Charter does not allow municipali es to budget for an opera ng deficit (i.e. where expenditures exceed funding sources). To ensure this situa on does not occur, revenue projec ons are conserva ve and authorized expenditures are closely monitored. The combina on of conserva ve revenue projec ons and controlled expenditures should produce a modest annual opera ng surplus and will avoid incurring an opera ng deficit. Use of Accumulated Surplus Accumulated surplus is retained: • to reduce the need to borrow temporarily early in the year before major revenues from annual property tax and u lity bills are received; and • to provide funding in an emergency (e.g. major flooding, earthquake, etc.). To ensure the Accumulated Surplus is maintained at a reasonable level, the balance in the accumulated surplus account should be approximately 10% of the annual opera ng budget. Example: Total annual expenditures $110,000,000 Less capital expenditures 59,000,000 Equals total opera ng budget 51,000,000 Guideline Maximum Accumulated Surplus $5,100,000 Accumulated Surplus funds may be used for: • capital expenditures or to increase reserves • con ngencies for items that may arise but are not known at the me the annual opera ng budget was developed • pay off capital debt, including internal borrowings • stabilize City property tax and u lity rate increases • other items, as City Council deems appropriate.

9. Reserves Purpose of Reserves The purpose of se ng aside reserves is to: • Provide a source of funds for future capital expenditures. • Provide a source of funding for areas of expenditure that fluctuate significantly from year to year (equipment replacement, special building maintenance, etc.). • Protect the City from uncontrollable or unexpected increases in expenditures or unforeseen reduc ons in revenues, or a combina on of the two. • Provide for working capital to ensure sufficient cash flow to meet the City’s needs throughout the year. Judiciously guarded reserves provide Council with an opportunity to fund unusual one- me costs and provide increased flexibility to off-set unplanned expenditures or revenue shor alls. The City’s reserve funds are all statutory reserves; they are authorized either by the Community Charter and/or by City bylaw. Capital Reserve In 2005, the City established a new “Capital Reserve” (Bylaw 3496) encompassing many of the former nonstatutory capital reserves that were held by the City. The inten on is to retain subsidiary reserves within the broad tle of “Capital Reserve” for the following areas: • Equipment Replacement with addi onal subsidiary accounts for: · Public Works · Parks · Fire · Informa on Systems • Roads and Drainage with addi onal subsidiary accounts for: · Downtown Parking · GVTA Roads • Water U lity • Sewer U lity • Recrea on and minor civic buildings • Environmental Capital • Public Safety Building (Police Detachment) Con nued on next page

Staff will facilitate Council’s review of the amount of Accumulated Surplus in the General, Water and Sewer Funds on an annual basis.

Appendix C – Financial Management Policy 9. Reserves (cont) Extraordinary Building Maintenance Reserve Fund Authorized in 1991 by Bylaw # 2618. The purpose of this fund is to provide for mely maintenance of all City buildings. Funds for normal/rou ne building maintenance are included in the City’s opera ng budget. Included in the annual opera ng budget is the appropria on of funds to be added to the reserve with the main purpose to annualize the cost of extraordinary (non-rou ne) building maintenance. It is an cipated that funds in this reserve will be completely used in 2006/07. Funding for future requirements in this area is included in the annual Recrea on and Minor Civic Buildings Capital Funding Envelope. Public Works Special Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund Authorized in 1990 by bylaw # 2497. This reserve was established with a balance of $2 million with the bylaw requirement being that the interest on the fund balance would be used to provide capital funding for local road works or local storm sewer works. Council established the fund as they observed that small local projects could not compete in the annual budget process against the larger arterial or collector road projects so this funding source for smaller local works was established. Land Sales Reserve The Community Charter (sec on 188(2)(e)) requires that proceeds of the sale of proper es be deposited into a reserve and that the funds be used for reducing debt or for a capital purpose. Annually the net proceeds (sales revenue less cost of sales) from the sale of City land are added to this reserve. Expenditures, other than land servicing or land purchases, from this reserve are repaid to the reserve, without interest, over the life of the asset purchased. The addi on of the annual repayment into the Financial Plan may be phased-in over a maximum of three years. Major Transporta on Infrastructure Reserve Authorized in 2001 by bylaw 3298. This reserve was established to accumulate funds for projects iden fied in the City’s Major Transporta on Plan. It is an cipated that funds in this reserve will be completely used on the Coast Meridian Overpass project. Development Cost Charge (DCC) Reserves Authorized by the Local Government Act and various City bylaws. The purpose of the DCC reserves is to fund the cost of expanding City infrastructure to accommodate growth. The Public Sector Accoun ng Board requires

186

that these reserves be shown on financial statements as deferred revenue rather than reserve funds. Opera ng Expense Reserve In 2005, the City established a new “Opera ng Reserve” (Bylaw 3497) encompassing many of the former nonstatutory reserves held by the City. The inten on is to retain subsidiary reserves within the broad tle of “Opera ng Expense Reserve” for the following areas: • Tax Stabiliza on – The purpose of this reserve is, at the discre on of the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee, to moderate property levy fluctua ons. Subject to approval of the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee, 15% of the annual surplus will be allocated to this reserve if the reserve balance is below the targeted balance of 2.5% of tax and u lity levies. • Self Insurance - The intent is to use the funds to assist in covering any self-insured costs incurred above the ($250,000) insurance deduc ble. • Snow and Ice Removal - The purpose of this reserve is to set aside funds in moderate winters to assist with the costs of snow and ice removal in bad winter years. This is accomplished by including an amount in the annual opera ng budget each year for snow and ice removal. At the end of the year any monies remaining are allocated to the reserve; if addi onal funds are required, reserve funds are transferred to assist the opera ng budget with the costs. • Canada/May Day - May Day and Canada Day are events run by volunteer Task Forces. Part of that Task Force’s mandate is to seek out dona ons to support the events. In years when the Task Force successfully exceeds their budgeted fund raising needs, funds are added to the reserve to be drawn down in years when the Task Force does not successfully meet their fund raising budget. • Arts Heritage and Culture - The City provides funding in the annual budget to support local arts, heritage and cultural ac vi es. At the end of the year any unspent funds are allocated to the reserve to be used for future ac vi es in those areas. • Elec on - There is an elec on every three years. The City a empts to annualize the cost of the elec on by alloca ng an amount in each year to the reserve.

Responsibility: Finance Division Finance staff will facilitate an annual review of this policy and related reserve and surplus balances with the Finance and Intergovernmental Commi ee.

Appendix D – Corporate Strategic Plan Successful ci es develop a vision of how they wish to look in the future. They determine community priori es. They align decisions and ac ons with supported and shared goals. And they adhere to a strategic plan that clearly defines the outcomes and direc ons that will lead to the Vision. Much has changed in the world and much has been achieved in the City of Port Coquitlam since the development of our first Corporate Strategic Plan in 2002. To remain focused and relevant, our City developed a new Corporate Strategic Plan in 2011. Public consulta on was the cornerstone of this process ensuring the new plan reflects community priori es.

Vision 2020 Port Coquitlam is a happy, vibrant, safe community of healthy engaged residents and thriving businesses supported by sustainable resources and services. Mission Statement We strive to do it right by researching, planning, building and execu ng well-balanced solu ons.

Principles Community involvement, City support and external factors will contribute to the successful achievement of Vision 2020. The outcomes: a sustainable future; a sense of community; economic strength; community well-being; and strategic service delivery are the building blocks to help achieve our long term vision that was developed with corporate knowledge, technical exper se and community and stakeholder feedback. The greatest challenge in the next number of years will be to maintain our exis ng City services for residents and businesses at the levels enjoyed today with a consistent level of resources. In addi on, social ma ers such as affordable housing and the elderly are growing areas of concern. Globally, the uncertainty of the natural environment challenges our future. Along with a very important role of ensuring the public is informed of municipal services and programs, Vision 2020 will guide the City in making balanced decisions based on the following principles: • • • •
