York Region’s 2016 budget aligns with the Council-approved 2015 to 2018 Regional Strategic Plan and addresses the management of $9.5 billion in infrastructure assets such as roads,service facilities and buildings.The business plan balances the need to provide more services to residents with the ability to pay for them.This was achieved while keeping the tax increase consistent with the outlook in last year’s budget. The 2016 budget includes a 2.85 per cent tax increase,representing an additional $63 for an average residential property in York Region. Budget Highlights: The 2016 operating budget includes the following new additions: • 17 York Regional Police officers and five civilian staff to address population growth,provide responsible and sustainable service and continued focus on changing demographics within the Region Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday,February 9,2016 Regional Report Dec.17 Page -2 -62 - • 20 Paramedic Services staff to respond to increasing call volumes • Rent supplement program expansion and more resources to address homelessness and support community housing • Continued implementation of VivaNext bus rapid transit services on new rapidways on Yonge Street and Highway 7 to move people faster • Contributing to funding of the new York University-Markham Centre Campus • Planting 2,500 new street trees,including replacing 1,000 trees infected by the emerald ash borer,to maintain urban forestry coverage The 2016 Operating Budget includes: • $541 million for Environmental Services • $475 million for Community and Health Services • $328 million for York Regional Police • $317 million for Transportation Services The 2016 Capital Budget includes: • $168 million for Regional Roads • $165 million for York Region Rapid Transit Corporation • $122 million for Wastewater • $78 million for Water • $45 million for York Region Transit • $40 million for Property Services • $39 million for Community and Health Services Fiscal Strategy supports a strong and financially sustainable Region As part of The Regional Municipality of York’s $2.8 billion 2016 budget,York Regional Council adopted an updated Regional Fiscal Strategy. Introduced in 2014,the Regional Fiscal Strategy is an integrated approach that manages the capital plan,reduces debt and saves more for the future. The strategy has lowered the level of peak debt from the 2013 forecast of $5.2 billion in 2020 to the 2015 budget forecast of $2.9 billion in 2017.This level has been maintained as part of the 2016 budget. York Region’s reserves are expected to grow by up to $2.8 billion over the next 10 years. Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday,February 9,2016 Regional Report Dec.17 Page -3 -63 - For 15 years,York Region has consistently maintained a strong credit rating.In 2015,Moody’s reaffirmed its Aaa rating and Standard &Poor’s reaffirmed its AA+ rating.This allows the Region and our nine area municipalities to have excellent access to capital markets and finance debt at the lowest possible cost. Drinking water quality to be sustained by user rates York Regional Council approved full cost recovery pricing for Regional water and wastewater services in October as part of the 2016 budget.Full cost recovery will help ensure adequate reserves are available to meet the demands of maintaining water and wastewater infrastructure. Effective April 2016,the Regional portion of an average household’s monthly water and wastewater bill will increase nine per cent annually for the next five years.In 2021,rates will increase by 2.9 per cent. The new rates will help pay for: • Maintaining infrastructure in a state of good repair,now and in the future • Building adequate reserves for future infrastructure repair and replacement • Covering day-to-day operating expenses • Payments to other municipalities for the purchase of water (Peel and Toronto) and treatment of wastewater (Durham and Peel)to meet the needs of our growing communities • Operating costs of Region-owned water and wastewater infrastructure York Regional Council continues to make drinking water quality a top priority.This commitment includes drinking water quality testing,superior maintenance and ongoing infrastructure investment.This approach has worked well for York Region, which notches either perfect or near-perfect water quality scores year over year.
