Re: Town’s Major Capital Project Update
Recommendation
1. That the memorandum regarding the Town’s Major Capital Project Update be

Background
The Town currently has multiple major capital projects underway in varying stages of
completion. These major projects include the following:
• Library Square
• 89 Mosley (Armoury) Renovation
• Fire Hall 4-5
• Joint Operations Centre Additional Work – Third floor build out
Analysis
Library Square
This project received Council’s conditional approval to proceed on March 21, 2019. The
development of the detailed design is underway and will be presented to Council on
July 16, 2019. The RFP to hire the project management firm will be issued by April 22,
2019.
At this point, no major risk has been identified.

April 30, 2019 Page 2 of 2
89 Mosley (Armoury) Renovation
This project is on track and the expected completion date is June 28, 2019. The project
risk indicated in the attachment #1 is weather that can affect the exterior construction
timeline. The mitigation plan is to accelerate completion of the interior works until the
weather permits the exterior works to commence.
The monthly status update for this project can be found under Attachment #1.
Fire Hall 4-5
This project has recently completed its design stage and the request for proposal (RFP)
for construction issued on April 12, 2019. This project expected to substantially
complete by October 31, 2020. The total completion of this project will be on December
31, 2020.
The project risk indicated in attachement#1 is the increasing cost of construction due to
the steel tariffs.
The monthly status update for this project can be found under Attachment #1.
Joint Operations Centre Additional Work – Third floor build out
The build of the Joint Operation Centre third floor is a sub-project of the Joint Operation
Centre Additional Work project. This project commenced March 1, 2019 and planned to
be completed by September 30, 2019.
The risk of the project indicated in the attachement#1 is an insufficient budget allocated
to build the third floor of JOC. This risk will be mitigated through reallocation of the
budget from surplus of the completed sub-projects.
The monthly status update for this project can be found under Attachment #1.

Memorandum
Date: April 30, 2019
To: Finance Advisory Committee
From: Jason Gaertner, A/Director, Financial Services
Re: A Comparison of Select Municipal multi-year Budget Frameworks
Recommendation
1.That the memorandum regarding a comparison of select municipal multi-year
budget frameworks be received; and
2.That the Finance Advisory Committee provide staff with comments in regards
to its desired multi-year budget framework for the Town of Aurora.
Background
The Province of Ontario’s Municipal Act, 2001, section 291, prescribes how
municipalities may prepare and adopt multi-year. The act allows municipalities to
approve up to a maximum of five years worth of annual operating budgets as long as
Council re-confirms the planned tax increase for each previously approved upcoming
year.
A multi-year budgeting framework offers several advantages to a municipality. A multi-
year budget framework:
•Allows for the tightening of links between budgeting and the Strategic Plan by
allowing the municipality to plan how it will direct financial resources toward priority
areas during the complete current Council term
•Improves fiscal discipline by showing the longer-term spending impacts of choices
made in an individual year
•Reduces uncertainty about future year tax levies

A comparison of select municipal multi-year budget frameworks
April 30, 2019 Page 2 of 3
• Provides a longer term outlook to outside organizations that rely upon the Town for a
share of their funding, which enables them to plan and deliver their programs more
efficiently.
In light of these benefits, many municipalities across the country have adopted multi-year
budgeting as vital component of their budget/planning framework.
Analysis
Considering the above noted advantages offered through the adoption of a multi-year
budgeting framework, staff have undertaken an analysis of what other select
municipalities across Canada have implemented in this regard. While the examples
available to choose from are numerous, staff undertook a review of the multi-year
budget frameworks in place for the following municipalities:
1. City of Brampton, ON
2. City of Campbell River, BC
3. City of London, ON
4. City of Edmonton, AB
5. City of Waterloo, ON
6. York Regional Municipality, ON
A summary of staff’s findings in regards to each of these noted municipalities can be
found under attachment #1. This summary outlines each examined municipality’s multi-
year budget framework time horizon, budget process highlights, as well as staff’s
assessment of the advantages and disadvantages.
This analysis has revealed that most of the multi-year budget frameworks reviewed
have a similar look and feel to them where Council is asked to approve or approve in
principal the desired budget. The time horizon over which these multiyear budgets are
completed and their alignment with the Council’s term differs. In addition, the degree of
flexibility offered for the modification of a previously approved future year budget differs.
Staff feel that the City of Waterloo’s multi-year budget framework would be the
best example upon which to build the Town of Aurora’s framework
Based upon the above noted municipal examples examined by staff and their
advantages and disadvantages identified in Attachment #1, staff feel that the Town

Item 2

should build its framework upon the one currently being utilized by the City of Waterloo
for the following key reasons:
•Its budget horizon aligns with Council’s term
•It requires its Council to approve only the first year of its term initially, thus allowing a
year for the strategic objectives of the new Council to be clarified and then
integrated into the next three year multi-year budget
•It allows sufficient flexibility for the Town to adjust its previously approved future
year budget in order to accommodate any arising extraordinary pressures

Page 3 of 4
Attachment #1
Municipality Budget Time Horizon Description of Budget Process(s)Advantages Disadvantages
- Council approves the first year of the
budget and approves 'in principal' the core
operating budget for the 2nd and 3rd years.
- Does not align its multi-year budget
horizon with its Council term
- Council establishes its acceptable tax
increase thresholds for all three years.
- Enhanced service tax pressures are
addressed in each future year at the time of
re-confirmation.
- It is legislated in BC that municipalities
complete a long term financial plan at least
every five years. The required tax
increases within this plan are maintained
within a Council defined exceptable tax
increase range of 2 to 3.5%. Council
receives the full ten year financial plan only.
- Council approves each annual budget
within the ten year financial plan on an
annual basis.
- Council fully approves all three years. (a
re-confirmation by Council is not required
under Alberta's Municipal Act).
- A formal budget process is required only
once every three years.
- Any budget pressures arising over and
above the approved budget must be
brought to Council for its approval in any
year of the plan.
- Offers some flexibility through its
allowance for the management of
unanticipated budget pressures 'in-year'.
- Regular financial and service level
performance reporting to Council
- Council fully approves all four years of
budgets within the plan. However, annual
re-confirmations are completed as per the
Municipal Act.
- A formal budget process is required only
once every four years.
- Should a net tax pressure arise over and
above the previously approved given year's
budget, at the time of re-confirmation, a
Budget Amendment Business Case may be
presented to Council for its approval for
inclusion in that year's final budget.
- Offers greater flexibility through its
allowance for the adjustment of previously
approved future year budgets through its
budget amendment business case process.
- Council approves only the first year's
budget of its term and only receives the
three outlook years.
- Budget process allows for new Council to
become orientated and adjust/define the
Town's strategic priorities prior to creating a
multi-year budget for the Town.
- In year two, Council approves the
operating budgets and resultant tax
increases for the remaining three years of
its term. Each of the future year budgets
are re-confirmed by Council prior to each
year commencing.
- Offers greater flexibility through its
allowance for the adjustment of previously
approved future year budgets through its
budget adjustment process.
- Future year proposed budget tax
increases are subject to Council defined
acceptable tax increase thresholds.
- A formal budget process is required for
only two of the four years of the Council
term.
- Allows for the adjustment of previously
approved future budgets at the time of re-
confirmation under defined certain
circumstances.
- Budget time horizon is aligned with
Council term.
- At the beginning of each term, Council
approves the first year plus three outlook
year budgets.
- Budget time horizon is aligned with
Council term.
- The approved outlook budgets form the
starting point for each of the next three
year's operating budgets which are re-
confirmed each year. Any emerging
pressures are considered for inclusion in
the final approved budget at the time of
each budget's re-confirmation. In the
absence of extraordinary pressures,
departments are expected to stay within
their orignally approved outlook budget.
- Offers greater flexibility through its
allowance for the adjustment of previously
approved future outlook year budgets
through its budget adjustment process.
- Includes a process for the management of
'in-year' emerging operating budget
pressures.
Note(s)
1) As per the municpal act, every municipality's Council must re-confirm any future budget year's approved tax increases.
2) All of these municipalities strive to align their multi-year budgets with their municipalities strategic and business plans.
3) Most of these multi-year plans are guided by Council approved budgetting principles.
4) All muncipalities provide regular financial performance updates to their Councils.
5) Most multi-year plans allow for 'Net Zero Adjustments' to be made within and across approved budget years.
- Reduces the need to forecast enhanced
service requirements, as they are
addressed at the time of each future year's
budget's re-confirmation.
Various Municipality Multi-Year Budget Approval Framework Analysis
City of Campbell River, BC Ten years
- Because enhanced tax pressures are
not addressed until the year of re-
confirmation, this impedes the
municipalities abiliy to project and manage
longer term tax rate impacts.
City of Brampton Three years
Three yearsCity of Edmonton
- Does not appear to offer an easy ability
to re-visit the planned tax increae for any
given year within the approval planning
period. Therefore, future year funding
requirements must be accurate.
- Time horizon extends further out into the
future allowing for improved fiscal discipline
allowing for the analysis and management
of longer term spending impacts of
decisions made and further reducing the
uncertainty about future tax levies.
- Does not align with Council term and
would be difficult to project requirements
so far into the future; higher risk for
unanticipated change.
- In order to ensure a draft four year
budget is available for a new Council's
review and approval, the full budget will
need to be completed without knowledge
of the new Council's strategic objectives.
Consequently, required adjustments to
approved outlook budgets may be
significant.York Region Four years
- Requires two formal budget processes,
one for year one and one for year two.
- Does not align its multi-year budget
horizon with its Council term.
City of London Four years
City of Waterloo One + three years
