John Gutteridge Re: Taxes on Soccer Bubble LAtANDA ITEM # aZ Director of Finance Financial Services In the last few weeks there has been a number of Email's regarding the Tax Situation on the Soccer Bubble. We felt that it would be best addressed for all of Council so we have added this to the agenda for Monday's Budget Meeting. First Council should be aware that all municipal properties are classed as exempt so we do not pay taxes on property owned by the municipality. The only time we would be taxed is when we lease the property to an organization that is subject to taxation in accordance with the Assessment Act. This is the case currently with the Soccer Bubble and the Jack Woods Property. The 2006 taxation for the Soccer Bubble was broken down as follows: Town's Share $ 9,098.64 School Board's Share $35,560.21 Regional Share $12,460.45 Total Taxation $54,119.30 Once the property becomes taxable we must issue a tax bill for the property, once the tax bill is issued there are only a couple of ways we can deal with this. • Send the tax bill to the business leasing the property for payment. Write the taxes off as an expense to the municipality. In order to write the taxes off there has to be justification to do so. In the case of the Soccer Bubble the justification is in the agreement clause 10 Subsection (d): 10. During the Term of this Agreement the Town agrees as follows: (d) to compensate the Licensee for any and all municipal taxes of any kind whatsoever levied with respect to the supply, installation and operation of the air dome and Clubhouse and any related storage facilities; 1-1 AuRoRA yotamin, Good emupaisv As a result of this clause the municipality has expensed the cost of the taxes to the Leisure Services Budget as it represents the cost of doing business for the municipality. This issue was identified to Council during the negotiation process in report No. LSO4- 031 dated July 13, 2004 a copy of which is attached hereto. There were some questions regarding the Aurora Soccer Club Inc. and this is a little different situation in that this property is classed as exempt which means it is not subject to tax. In their case the agreement is a little different on taxes and it states: Tenant's taxes (b) To pay all taxes, rates, charges, licenses, duties and assessments whatsoever, whether provincial, federal or otherwise, now or hereafter charged, assessed, levied or imposed in respect of any real or personal property, fixtures, business or other activity of the Tenant carried out upon or in connection with the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Tenant shall not be liable for any municipal taxes (Town of Aurora portion only) levied against the Premises: So in this case were the property taxable the municipality would only be responsible for the "Town of Aurora portion only". As for what we can do to eliminate the tax on the property there is only one option for the municipality and that is provided for in Section 110 of the Municipal Act which provides for Agreements for municipal capital facilities. This provision in the Act is very complex and would take significant effort to put something in place and at the end of the day it would only exempt the property from the municipal and school board portion of the tax but not the region's portion. I do not intend to get into any further discussion about this section of the Act as this would require legal involvement. At the present time we expense the cost of the taxes to the Leisure Services budget as this represents the true cost of doing business. The only other option is to charge the write offs to the tax write off account, this.will not change the budget impact and will not represent the true cost of doing business which is contrary to the direction the municipality would like to go. I hope this provides you with the information required on this subject. 1-2 JRORA nompaky LJG:sm of Financial Services/Treasurer Ext. 4111 Att. LSO4-031 Public/Private Partnership — Soccer Bubble cc: 1-3 � 'TOWN OF AURORA ATTACHMENTS COUNCIL REPORT No. LSO4-031 SUBJECT: Public/Private Partnership - Soccer Bubble FROM: Allan D.

BACFC---O At the General Committee Meeting of March 23, 2004 and adopt30, 2004, as a result of a ed by Council on March he Aurora Youth Soccer Cub, staff were directed to develop gantappropriate Agreement on by Mr. Ron Weese of nd report back to Council. The construction of a bubble has been ongoing for a number of years and Council has been presented with a variety of proposals for consideration. At the September 11, 2003 Leisure Services Advisory Committee meeting the latest proposal for a soccer bubble was presented. LeisureThe Services oviders make in -came apresentat ons tot a Committee in o derto assessthe viability of each proposal. The Aurora Youth Soccer Club were then asked to respond to the proposals and select a preferred partner to staff for consideration of a public/private partnership, Aurora Youth Soccer Club has indicated the Farley Group is their preferred provider in this regard and staff have continued discussions with them subsequently. COMMENTS Following this direction staff met with the desired private sector provider as selected by the Aurora Youth Soccer Club and Interviewed by the Leisure Services Advisory Committee. During these meetings staff compiled a list of issues and requirements to be addressed within a future Agreement. Staff also met with the President of the Aurora Youth Soccer Club to obtain a list of their issues and requirements. /2 1-4 July 13 2004 -2 - Report No, LSO4-031 Staff then convened a meeting with both the private provider and the Aurora Youth Soccer Club to develop a list of requirements to form the basis of the Tri-Party Letter of Understanding. Staff prepared the Letter of Understanding and have circulated it to the private provider, the Aurora Youth Soccer Club and received comments from all Departments within the Town to solicit their comments. Several amendments were made to the Letter of Understanding to ensure that all issues were identified and satisfactorily addressed to ensure compliance by all parties. The Letter of Understanding in its present form has Identified all issues to the private partner, the Aurora Soccer Club and staff. The Letter of Understanding once executed will form the basis for a future Agreement, to be presented to Council if the parameters outlined are acceptable to all parties.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The private partner will be responsible for all the Capital and Operating cost of the facility, however the Town will be responsible for providing a serviced parcel of land in which to erectthe bubble. Staff have estimated the cost of providing hydro, water, gas and sanitary sewer to the site to be approximately $49,000.00. These funds are not identified in the 2004 Budget and must be considered as an additional expenditure. The funding source will.be identified in the final terms of the Agreement are resolved.

H. Jackson Re: Smart Commute Central York Program 6;D,� ITEM # Director of Public Works Public Works Department The Environmental Advisory Committee at its meeting of April 5, 2007 received a presentation regarding the Smart Commute Central York program and the Committee recommended: "THAT the delegation by Ms Sandra McEleney , Program Manager, Smart Commute Central York and Debra Scott, General Manager, Newmarket Chamber of Commerce be received; and THAT the Environmental Advisory Committee endorse the Smart Commute Central York program in principle; THAT this matter be referred to the next Budget meeting and Staff be requested to provide the appropriate financial details for Council consideration." Council at its meeting of June 27, 2006 had previously considered this matter (see Appendix "A") and had requested staff to submit further financial details related to this issue as part of the 2007 budget deliberations. Unfortunately, this was not included in the 2007 budget submission. The budget for the Smart Commute Central York is provided in Appendix "B". As can be seen, the financial commitment attributable to Aurora is $30,000 per year (the same as Newmarket's and half that of the Region). If Council wished to support Smart Commute, then a request for staff to include $30,000 as part of the 2007 Operating Budget would be appropriate. for W. H. Jackson, Director of Pubic Works Ext. 4371 Att. Appendix "A" - Report EDAC06-003 — "Smart Commute Central York" Appendix "B" — Smart Commute Central York Budget cc: John Rogers, C.A.O. -2- APPENDIX "A" TOWN OF AURORA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE No. EDAC06-003 SUBJECT: Smart Commute— Central York FROM: D. Lombardi, Economic Development Officer and W. H. Jackson, Directorof Public Works TO: Economic Development Advisory Committee DATE: May 17, 2006 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. THAT the Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) endorse the Smart Commute — Central York and Smart Commute Aurora concepts as generally described in Report No. EDAC06-003; 2. THAT Report No. EDA C06-003 be referred to the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) for endorsement of the Smart Commute— Central York and Smart Commute Aurora concepts; 3. THAT upon endorsement by EDAC and EAC, Report No. EDAC06-003 be referred to Town Council with a request for Council's approval in principal of the participation of the Town of Aurora in the Smart Commute — Centre York Transportation Management Association as generally described in Report No. EDAC06-003; 4. THAT staff be requested to submit further financial details related to Recommendation No. 3 as part of the 2007 budget deliberations; 5. THAT staff be requested to develop and implement a Smart Aurora initiative for Town Employees as generally described ir: FeP07 No. EDAC06-003;and That the Smart Commute — Central York Transportation Management Association be notified of Council's decision in this matter. BACKGROUND On January 24, 2006, a presentation was made to General Committee by representatives —3— May 17, 2006 - 2 - Report No. EDAC06-003 of the Region of York, Newmarket Chamber of Commerce, Markham Board of Trade and a Newmarket Councillor regarding the Smart Commute Initiative. Town Council, at its meeting of January 31, 2005, adopted the following General Committee recommendation: "THAT the comments of the delegation be received and referred to staff for a report". COMMENTS Unless the community embraces alternatives to single -occupancy vehicle trips, the traffic congestion currently experienced in the GTA will only continue to increase. Smart Commute (SC) is a broad based undertaking that will develop an array of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies to offer employers, employees, developers and others with the tools necessary to make the most efficient use of the transportation network. The SC initiative is a collaborative effort of the Regions of Durham, York, Peel, Halton and the Cities of Toronto, Mississauga and Hamilton, for the purpose of implementing TDM measures across the entire GTA and Hamilton. Start-up funding is available through Transport Canada's Urban Transportation Showcase Program. The Showcase Project contribution is a one-third sharing between the Federal Government, Municipal Government and the Private Sector. The SC Initiative will be governed by a two -tiered structure, with a Smart Commute Association providing guidance to the local Smart Commute Transportation Management Associations. 1. Smart Commute Association The Smart Commute Association (SCA) is administered by the Region of York and housed by the City of Toronto in East York. The SCA will provide a information for loc?1 S=" Commute Transportation Management Associations as well as a reporting duties, as,.u,, of Transport Canada's funding arrangement. The SCA has the following five mE,:;. roieL: • Support development of local Smart Commutes • Education and promotional programs • Carpool ride matching service • Transportation Demand Management module development • Reporting and lessons learned Q>� May 17, 2006 - 3 - Report No. EDACO6-003 2. Smart Commute Transportation Demand Association The Smart Commute Transportation Demand Associations, or Local Smart Commutes (LSC), are non-profit, voluntary, member controlled organizations aimed at providing sustainable transportation solutions to its members along with improving mobility and accessibility in a specific development area. The purpose of an LSC is to help business members improve the quality of life of their employees, customers and visitors through the provision of customized transportation options. The LSC is intended to be a single source of information on commuting options for employers and employees. Each member of a LSC should assign an Employee Commute Counsellor to administer employee services with the main function of this position being the dissemination of information/materials to employees. Within York Region, there are presently two LSC's in operation namely SC North TorontoNaughan and SC 404-7 (serving Markham and Richmond Hill). An initiative is underway to develop additional LSCs, with one being proposed for the Newmarket —Aurora area. 3. Current Situation As noted above, there is currently action underway to initiative a Smart Commute— Central York Association that would include Aurora & Newmarket. At present, this initiative is being carried by the Newmarket Board of Trade with the backing of Newmarket Council. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is being developed between the Region of York, Newmarket Board of Trade and the Town of Newmarket. Along with the financial commitment the Town of Newmarket has made to this Local Smart Commute, the Town is also undertaking an internal Smart Commute (Smart Commute — Newmarket) initiative focusing on Town Hall employees. 4. Discussion Staff believes that participation by the Town of Aurora within the Smart Commute — Central York Association is something that Aurora should strive for. Over and above the environmental and social benefits, improving traffic congestion is a goal in both the Town' approved Economic Development Strategy, its Strategic Plan, and the recently completed Economic Sectors Analysis report authored by urbanMetrics Inc. In that report, perceived traffic congestion is identified by those business owners surveyed by the consultant as a threat to the quality of life offered by the Town. This, in turn, could impact the attractiveness of Aurora as a destination for business investment. In addition to the connection with the Smart Commute — Central York Association, Aurora —5— May 17, 2006 - 4 - _ _ Report No. EDAC06-003 should be directly involved in Transportation Demand Management by initiating our own internal Smart Commute similar to Newmarket. This internal Smart Commute program would initiate with the assignment of an Employee Commute Counsellor to administer the program. The program will include items such as education/promotion material to inform Town employees of the adverse impacts of single person vehicles and initiation of a car pool operation. It is expected that a limited amount of funds will be required for the education and promotion material and that staff time will be utilized for the rest of the work. As noted earlier, there are significant advantages to the -Town of Aurora's involvement with the Smart Commute - Central York Association. However, the timing is such that our participation from a financial perspective is difficult. Given this timing, it is staffs position that the prudent course of action would be to support the concept of Aurora's participation in principle, and continue to investigate the financial details of this participation during the 2007 budget deliberations. Staff would be in a better position at that time to provide Council with a more accurate cost estimate. OPTIONS Council may not wish to participate in the Smart Commute initiatives. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The internal Smart Commute program will consist mostly of staff time with a minimal amount estimated at $1,000 spent on promotion.and education materials. Funds to cover this expense will be found within the Town's general budget. The future expenses related to the Smart Commute - Central York Association will be determined at a later date and submitted as part of a further report as input to the 2007 budget deliberations. CONCLUSIONS The Smart Commute initiative is a program designed to maximize the use of our eisii :� infrastructure. By encouraging commuters to use alternatives methods of travel cutaide of the single person automobile, significant benefits can be realized by the community at large in terms of reduced traffic congestion and reduced adverse environmental pollutants. A way for Aurora to participate in this program is by starting at the local level (i.e. Town Hall) and reviewing our options during the 2007 budget deliberations in order to justify greater participation in this initiative next year, as outlined in this report.
