Township of Horton 2 nd Public Meeting – April 2, 2019 6:00 p.m. 1

Budget Process  Budget Worksheets are distributed to Managers and Committees with Payroll numbers already populated.  The Treasurer consolidated the Managers and Committees budget requests and presented the 2019 Departmental Summary, 2019 Capital, 10 Year Capital, Reserves and Long Term Forecast schedules to the Ad Hoc Budget Committee.  The Committee met on several occasions to review all the Schedules.  It was consensus of the Ad Hoc Budget Committee to go with a tax levy increase of no more than 3.11% after growth. The estimated 2019 increase due to growth is equal to a levy increase of approximately $30,069. Growth is applied annually to increase in wages, utilities and materials etc. 2

Budget Process Continued  The 2019 Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) Allocation is $233,100. The 2018 transfer was $227,700 which is 7.5% of the 2018 Operating Expenses. This is an increase of $5,400. It is important to note that this transfer is an unconditional transfer.  From the previous public budget meeting the OMPF increase has been directed to Winter Maintenance. This change has resulted in an amendment to the department pie chart.  It is also important to note that the Province is reviewing their fiscal position and part of that review includes transfer payments to municipalities. It is anticipated that OMPF may be reduced starting in 2020. 3

Asset Management and Long Term Financial Strategies  Our Asset Management Plan is one of the financial tools used to guide the municipal decision making process. The Township has undertaken a Roads Needs Study in 2017 and updated the Asset Management Plan.  Council reviews the 10 Year Capital Forecast annually and continues to amend the forecast and utilize this information for the purpose of the Asset Management Plan, Long Term Financial Strategies and the Development Charges Study. This is a living document and as such Council and Staff will continue to amend this on an annual basis. The current 10 year funding gap is $1,708,989. Note this includes assumption of a grant in 2022 for Pinnacle Road of $587,700. 4

Asset Management and Long Term Financial Strategies Continued  It is important to note that the Township will continue to develop policies as required under the Infrastructure For Jobs and Prosperity Act, 2015. The first policy must be adopted by Council by July 1, 2019, which Council adopted March 19 th , 2019.  Our financial strategies to date will never maintain our road infrastructure without funding from other levels of government.  It is imperative that we address the infrastructure gap. Our 10 year forecasted budget includes an annual levy increase of 3.5% but this will be deliberated each year through the annual budget process.  In 2017 the CAO/Clerk commenced with a Strategic Plan for the Township which Council and Staff will use as a guide over the next few years. 6
