2017 Capital Budget update At this time, staff is projecting at the end of 2017, the required transfer from Infrastructure Reserve would be approximate $220,000.00 (Budget figure was $518,824.00). The balance in this reserve in at January 1, 2017 was $577,550.00. The majority of the reduction is attributed to Road and Bridge Construction projects.  Town of Ingersoll engineer provided a letter dated November 2, 2015 on budget estimates for the work to be done on the North Townline for both 2017 and 2018, being $535,000 (2017), $505,000 (2018) and $40,000 for geotechnical costs; with Zorra share at 50%. Zorra capital budget allocated $277,500.00 in 2017 and $322,500.00 in 2018 based on this letter. However the actual construction cost completed in 2017 was $352,015.00 ($74,515.00 increase over budget).  It was also determined in recent conversation with the Town of Ingersoll concerning the work proposed in 2018 the budget estimated provided in November 2015 was erroneous and will be presented further on in this presentation.  Zorra’s Road 74 project was estimated at $735,000.00 and included an estimate for hydro work to be $250,000.00, the work has been completed and the Hydro One invoice for this work is expected to be around $51,200.00. Also staff and equipment time was also included in the figure in error. The actual cost projected on this project is now $170,000.00.  Several bridge repairs were not completed.  Sewer repairs in Embro Arena and new water heater system in Thamesford arena were installed and not budget. $41,945.00.  Council chambers work not completed.  Underbudget in Uniondale fire hall parking lot.

2018 capital budget considerations The first draft of the 2018 capital budget was developed based on the following parameters and information. Supplementary Memorandums to Council will be presented which provide background details to support the selection and also to provide alternatives for Council to consider during budget deliberations. Fire Capital:  Construction of an addition of a single bay to the Embro Station and a cistern. Recreation:  Only the $80,000.00 commitment towards the Water/Wheels project has been included in the 2018 budget. Council is aware that a Trillium application has been made for the project, however a decision on funding will not be known until March, 2018. Final report and recommendations will follow after the announcement on the Trillium application and status of community fundraising.  Aside for the roof replacement at the Harrington Hall which was suppose to be completed in 2017 but delayed, no other improvements to any recreation facilities has been considered in the first draft of the 2018 budget. The outcome of the Recreation Master Plan scheduled for early 2018 may require financial output. Roads:  Updated Budget estimates and scope of work for the North Town line project with the Town of Ingersoll was received. November 27, 2017 8
