THAT Report FND-016-07 be received for information. Submitted by: Reviewed by: Q~~ Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer. NT/cd REPORT NO.: FND-016-07 PAGE 2 BACKGROUND: Under Ontario Regulation 266/02, the Treasurer is required to report annually to Council details of existing material leases confirming that they comply with the lease policy, a summary of material leases, estimated cost of the material leases and the impact of these leases on the financing arrangements and debt servicing levels of the Municipality. As required by the Municipal Act, 2001, Council adopted a Statement of Lease Financing Policies and Goals in report FND-021-03, on Monday, September 8,2003. To-date, Clarington has typically chosen to purchase or debenture (if necessary), rather than to use financial leases with the exception of small office equipment. All existing leases are immaterial according to Council policy and therefore have no impact on long term financing or debt service levels of the Municipality. The total of all of Clarington's minor leases do not exceed the threshold for a single lease to be material. CONCLUSION: At this time, the Municipality of Clarington does not have any material leases. It is recommended that this annual lease report be received for information in compliance with Ontario Regulation 266/02.
