CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379
REPORT NO.: FND-11-10
PAGE 2
BACKGROUND:
Under Ontario Regulation 653/05, 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 653/05.
