CAMPBELL, C.A.,TREASURER 40 TEMPERANCE STREET TEL.(416) 623-3379 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1 C 3A6 REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 1984 REPORT NO. : TR-94-84 SUBJECT: 1985 FIVE YEAR CAPITAL BUDGET (FIRST DRAFT) RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. That this report be received, and 2. That the 1985 Five Year Capital Budget, which has been distributed under separate cover, be received for ,review and consideration. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: The demands on the Corporation for capital works in the next five years are substantial with the proposals for a Baseline Community Centre (1985) , a new town administration facility (1986) , a new arena in the Bowmanville Urban Area (1987) , renovation of the main fire station (1988) and a Community Services depot (1988) having major impacts. Lessor proposals include the construction of a lunchroom and washrooms at the Hampton Works Depot (1985) , construction of a storage/office facility at the Bowmanville Cemetery (1985) , construction of training facility for the fire department (1985) , updating the change facilities at the Orono Pool (1988) and the expansion of the Zamboni Room at the Darlington Sports Centre (1989) . In addition to the aforementioned projects, the r. 0 3(bI - 2 - TR-94-84 1985 FIVE YEAR CAPITAL BUDGET (FIRST DRAFT) BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: continued regular program of road construction, equipment replacement and updating in all departments and the capital repairs to facilities is ongoing. The Baseline Community Centre project (1985) has received approval of its grant request and with the monies available in the reserve fund, this project should have no impact on the tax levy. The construction of a new municipal administrative facility (1986) is shown as funded principally through a debenture issue. Staff are investigating other means of funding the provision of the facility through long term lease arrangement and will report the results of that later in the budget discussions. The construction of an arena in the Bowmanville Urban Area will be fully investigated in the feasibility study which is slated for completion in the spring of 1985. That study wi l l determine the size and type of facility required and provide the Town with a better basis for the cost estimate. Council has made a financial commi ttement to the project in the amount of 25% of the project cost plus the carrying charges to fund the project while the fundraising and grant monies are collected. The renovation of the main fire station (1988) will be funded principally through the tax levy as no government funding is available to offset these costs. If substantial residential development takes place in the interim, there will be funds avaliable in the Lot Levy Reserve Fund to help cushion the impact on the tax levy. 3 - 3 - TR-94-84 1985 FIVE YEAR CAPITAL BUDGET (FIRST DRAFT) BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: continued The Community Services' depot (1988) is shown as a debentured project because the Town would not normally have $761 ,420 available to put towards such a project in one year. Of the lessor proposals only the lunchroom/washroom project at the Hampton Works Yard (1985) and the fire department training facility have funding available from sources other than the tax levy, being the Lot Levy Reserve Fund, the Ontario Hydro Impact Funds and the Fire Department Reserve Account. In 1984 the taxes levied for capital projects totalled $596,175. In 1985, this draft capital budget proposes a tax levy of $1 ,071 ,225, an increase of 80%. That increase results from the administrative building levy, an increased road construction program and the needs of the Community Services Department. The Fire Department requirements for 1985 are entirely funded from Ontario Hydro Impact Funds and existing reserves. If the Ministry of Transportation and Communications provides a minimal increase in subsidy He: 4%-5%) the road construction projects proposed wi l l have to be reduced to come into line with -the available funding. A project on Nash Road which is detailed on the attached sheets, was excluded in error, and should also be considered with the 1985 construction. I The Newcastle Library Board requirements were not available at the time the budget was compiled, but will be forthcoming to later discussions. -r;-3�b1 - 4 - TR-94-84 1985 FIVE YEAR CAPITAL BUDGET ( FIRST DRAFT) BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: continued Requests for capital projects from the local boards will not be known until the grant requests have been reviewed early in the new year by the Newcastle Community Services Planning Board.
