Re: Provincial Bill 66
Main motion
Moved by Mayor Mrakas
Seconded by Councillor Humfryes
Whereas the protection of the integrity of the Green Belt is a paramount
concern for our residents; and
Whereas the continued legislative protection of our water – groundwater,
surface water and waterways – is vitally important for the current and future
environmental health of our community; and
Whereas significant concerns have been raised by residents, community
leaders and environmental organizations such as the Canadian Environmental
Law Association (CELA), that provisions within Bill 66 will weaken
environmental protections as it “…will enable municipalities to pass “open-for-
business” zoning by-laws that do not have to comply with…” important
provincial environmental statutes; and
Whereas an “Open for Business” By-law may be approved without public
consultation; and
Whereas provisions within Bill 66 may allow exemptions from municipal Official
Plans; and
Whereas the Town of Aurora’s Official Plan represents not only a significant
investment of taxpayer resources but reflects our community’s collective vision
for current and future planning; and
Whereas our Official Plan clearly designates land that is environmentally
protected; and
Whereas our Official Plan also provides clearly designated land to meet future
employment land needs;

Executive Summary
On February 2, 2019 the budget committee will commence its review of the Town’s
asset management plan’s draft 2018 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan; as well as its

• The updated asset management plan (AMP) for review and approval which
outlines the “how” of the Town’s asset planning and management methodologies,
including an assessment of the overall condition of the Town’s depreciating
assets. A detailed review and update of this plan has been undertaken as per the
Town’s best practice to do so every four years, aligning with Council’s term in
office.
• The AMP’s draft 2018 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan which is derived based
upon the methodologies set out in the AMP, setting out specific capital
investments required in order to maintain the serviceability of existing town
assets, as well as new assets required or anticipated in order to service and

meet the expectations of the growing community. This component of the Town’s
AMP is updated on an annual basis.
• The draft detailed 2019 proposed capital budgets for review and approval,
representing a highly detailed breakout of the 2019 items of the Ten Year Capital
Plan.
Background
The Town is required to have a Council approved Strategic Asset Management
Policy in place by July 1, 2019
As per its recently approved Asset Management for Municipal Infrastructure regulation
(O. Reg. 588/17), the Province of Ontario requires its municipalities to conduct long
term asset management planning through the implementation of a strategic asset
management policy and detailed asset management plans. This regulation requires
municipalities to comply with a prescribed list of key milestones:
i. A Strategic Asset Management Policy must be in place by July 1, 2019
ii. All municipalities are required to ensure that their asset management plans
include the following elements as per the prescribed timelines:
a. Addresses core infrastructure assets such as roads, bridges, culverts,
including any assets used in the collection, conveyance/distribution of
wastewater/water; and stormwater management systems by July 1, 2021.
b. In addition to core infrastructure assets, addresses all other infrastructure
assets by July 1, 2023.
c. All infrastructure assets should include a greater breadth of prescribed
details, such as service level requirements, by July 1, 2024.
The asset management plan is the foundation upon which Town asset decisions
are based
The Province of Ontario requires all municipalities to have in place a Council approved
Asset Management Plan (AMP). An approved AMP has become the foundation upon
which the Town’s asset decisions are based; as well as an essential application
requirement for all municipal requests for provincial or federal infrastructure funding.
The Town’s AMP is guided by its Strategic Asset Management Policy.

Item R1
Page 2 of 15
January 22, 2019 Page 3 of 15 Report No. FS19-001
A Ten Year Capital Investment Plan assists the Town in ensuring the longer term
sustainability of each of its assets
Complementing the Town’s AMP is its annual Ten Year Capital Investment Plan
representing a consolidation of the anticipated needs of all Town departments. This plan
is intended to assist the managers responsible for each asset category to carefully plan
for the longer term sustainability of each asset, and ensure appropriate and timely
budgeting for the replacement of assets at the optimal time, balancing available funding,
with the need and condition of the asset and its service standard.
The plan is sorted into three sections: Repair and replacement of existing assets (R&R),
plans for growth and new assets (G&N), and periodic studies and other special projects
(S&O). This plan is reviewed and updated each year by staff and presented to Council
for its review and endorsement. It is important background material for the annual
capital budget review and approval processes.
In addition to ensuring the alignment of ten year capital plan funding recommendations
with defined AMP strategies, these recommendations also align with the following four
Council endorsed asset sustainability strategies:
1. The Town generally will not use debt to finance the major restoration or
replacement of its assets which were originally funded from development
charges or would be so funded if initially constructed today. To avoid incurring
debt, the Town will strive to annually set aside sufficient reserves to provide
for existing asset sustainability.
2. Targets for R&R reserve funds future desired balances at the end of each ten
year planning period should be set equal to two times the average of the ten
year annual funding requirement for that period, reviewed annually.
3. Annual “tax cash to capital” funding will be apportioned pro rata amongst the
asset specific reserve funds for each asset category, including tax funded
Growth & New and Studies & Other.
4. Annual “tax cash to capital” budget amounts must achieve sustainable
infrastructure funding and should be reviewed annually as part of the ten year
capital plan update process to ensure annual contributions keep pace with
capital cost inflation, capital plan needs, and ultimately allowing for the
achievement of the goal of concluding each ten year planning period with
R&R reserve balances at approximately equal to their applicable ten year
average funding requirement for that period

The Town’s recommended 2019 capital budgets are built upon the foundation as
set out in the Town’s AMP
As part of its review of the Ten Year Capital Investment Plan, staff have undertaken its
usual detailed review and documentation of their recommended 2019 capital budgets.
This review considers several factors including the foundations as set out in the Town’s
AMP, available reserve funding, as well as other key Town priorities.
NOTE: The budget binder materials referenced in this report will be distributed at the
January 22, 2019 Council meeting for review prior to the first formal budget committee
review meeting which has been scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Saturday February 2, 2019. All
materials will be available from the Towns’ web site shortly after the January 22nd
meeting.

development and implementation of the Town of Aurora’s asset management program.
It is intended to guide the consistent use of asset management across the organization,
to facilitate logical and evidence-based decision-making for the management of
municipal infrastructure assets and to support the delivery of sustainable community
services in the name of “Today, tomorrow, our future together”. Through its regulation,
the province prescribes the key elements that must be addressed within the policy. The
approval of this policy is an important step towards integrating the Town’s strategic
mission, vision and goals with its asset management program, and ensuring that critical
municipal infrastructure assets and vital services are maintained and provided to the
community in a reliable, sustainable manner.
A copy of the Town’s strategic asset management policy has been included in the
budget binder.
Asset Management Plan (AMP)
The Town’s AMP is strongly aligned with its Strategic Asset Management Policy. Its
primary objective is to maximize benefits, control risks, and provide a satisfactory level
of service to the community in a sustainable manner. Infrastructure management
ensures that the Town is capable of providing the desired level of service to support
attaining the Town’s high level strategic goals. The AMP is a strategic document stating

Item R1
Page 4 of 15

the characteristics and condition of infrastructure assets, levels of service expected from
them, planned actions to ensure that assets are providing the expected level of service
and financing strategies to implement the planned actions. The overall intent of the AMP
is to help the Town ensure investments are made at the right time, future repair and
rehabilitation costs are minimized, and municipal assets are being appropriately
maintained.
The Town’s AMP is an outcome of its stewardship responsibilities: how we plan to look
after what we own. In addition, the Town has also incorporated future growth and future
required asset investments into its plan in order to document what new assets it plans to
invest in as the community grows, including how it plans to finance those investments.
The growth side of the plan becomes an input into the existing asset replacement side
of the plan, as these new growth driven assets begin to require replacement as well,
sometimes within the same 10-year period, such as for new fleet light vehicle additions.
2019 represents the current plan’s four year anniversary; as per the Town’s best
practice, staff have undertaken a comprehensive review and update of this plan which
now requires Council’s formal approval. This four year anniversary period aligns with
Council’s term in office period. Some financial tables included in the AMP are updated
annually.
A copy of the town’s AMP will be included in the budget binder.
2018 Ten Year Capital Investment Plan – Totals $285,812,400
This year’s ten year capital plan contains detailed plans for assets showing the
approved 2018 capital budget, plus ten forecast years from 2019 to 2028. It is the result
of a comprehensive review and update undertaken by each asset manager of the 2017
Ten Year Capital Investment Plan.
The ten year plan shows a planned investment requirement of $286 million total
including 2018 and the next ten years; $139 million for R&R, $143 million for G&N
assets, and $4 million for S&O. The Town’s updated Ten Year Capital Investment Plan
is included in the budget binder. The committee is encouraged to review this material in
detail, and raise questions with regard to any proposed project, with a particular review
of the first three years of the plan, as well as any significant one-time projects appearing
in the plan.
Comparing the previous ten year capital plan and this year’s ten year capital plan the

change in the average required investment per year is as follows:

19,700,400 20,078,400
Rates Funded:

The assets that the Town owns need to be segregated as to whether they are
maintained and funded by general taxation (“tax funded assets”), or whether they are
maintained and funded by utility rates (“rate funded assets”). Rates funded assets are
restricted to all underground water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater systems, pumping
stations, stormwater management ponds, storm drainage ditches, culverts and related
infrastructure. Tax funded assets are all other assets owned by the Town, including
fleet, equipment, technology assets, roads, sidewalks, street lighting, town facilities,
parks, fields and other structures, together with Aurora located fire halls. In an effort to
minimize the impact on these core funding sources, both the tax and rate funded capital
requirements are subsidized through any other available funding sources, if any, such
as provincially or federally available grant monies.
The Town receives both Federal Gas Tax and Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund
(OCIF) allocations each year. To simplify the financial planning and reporting, while
remaining segregated in the Town’s books, these funds are notionally pooled with the
Town’s tax cash to capital amount for funding tax supported infrastructure capital
reserves. These two grant amounts are used exclusively to fund the first requirements
of the roads asset category, with other tax cash used to complete the funding allocation
requirements for roads. Accordingly, gas tax and OCIF are only used by the Town to
fund roads projects, despite their eligibility to fund other types of projects.
As will be seen in the next section of this report, the funding strategy of the ten year
capital plan hinges on the reliability, completeness and reasonableness of this plan. If
the planned spend is inflated, the funding strategy will impose an unnecessary burden
on taxpayers and the annual budget. Contrary, if the ten year plan is understated, the
Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, January 22, 2019
Item R1
Page 6 of 15
January 22, 2019 Page 7 of 15 Report No. FS19-001
funding strategy employed will be insufficient in providing for the real needs of the
Town. While this plan is updated each year in detail by staff, it is important for Council to
identify any projects contained in the plan which may require further discussion.
Amendments can be made by removing projects altogether or amending the planned
timing of projects to more realistically align with the expectations of Council.
Repair & Replacement (R&R)
Optimally staff recommend that the annual funding of capital R&R match the ten year
planned average spend. Currently, the annual funding compared to annual planned
averages spend is as follows:

* Ten Year Average R&R Requirement is net of all other funding sources, with the exception of grants.
** R&R Cash to Capital share only.
As per the above table, we see that the annual tax contribution to capital for R&R is less
than the average annual spend by $860,500 per year over the ten year period. This
represents the equivalent of an unfunded 2019 tax rate pressure of 1.9%. This short-fall
will be addressed by the proposed cash to capital increases recommended in Table 3
below.
The 2019 contribution from utility rates is more than is required for the next ten year
period average requirement as it is based upon a much longer time horizon (50 to 100
years). This is done in an effort to grow these related reserve balances in preparation
for the future when the very expensive R&R costs for the Town’s underground
infrastructure begin arising as they reach the end of their useful lives. Annual utility
budgets consider this updated plan and long term funding needs.

Overall Cash to Capital Contributions to Reserves
Overall in 2018, excluding the receipt of federal gas tax and Ontario Community
Infrastructure Funding (OCIF), the tax base contributed $5,053,400 to the capital
reserves for infrastructure. This amount gets immediately allocated amongst R&R, G&N
and S&O capital reserves. As infrastructure costs increase with inflation, so to must the
annual contribution from the tax base. Otherwise, the inflationary growth of future R&R
requirements will out-pace the growth of available reserve balances resulting in
insufficient funds being available when required in the mid to longer term future.
The Town’s financial goal is to grow its infrastructure reserve balances to “two times the
average annual spend requirement” by the end of the ten year plan period. In order to
achieve this goal the Town will require a minimum increase to the prior year’s cash to
capital contribution as outlined in Table 3 below. The following schedule of increases to
the base cash to capital contribution each year has been designed to achieve a more
manageable annual budget impact:
Table 3: Proposed Cash to Capital Increases for Infrastructure Sustainability as a
percentage of the prior year’s tax levy
2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028
0.50% 0.70% 0.80% 0.80% 0.80% 0.80% 0.90% 0.90% 0.90% 1.00% 1.00%
In recognition of growing inflationary and aging asset pressures, staff recommend the
above noted rates of growth for the next 10 years. This requirement would be funded
out of the annual 1.0% recommended tax increase in support of fiscal strategies, such
as this and the continued reduction in the Town’s reliance upon supplementary tax
proceeds revenue. No annual operating budget surplus contributions to these reserves
are included in this forecast model as surpluses of this nature are difficult to project;
however contributions of this nature will only serve to reduce the impact of inflationary
pressures on the plan and contributions.
Projected Ten Year Financial Performance of the Repair and Replacement Reserves
While individual asset category reserves are kept, on a consolidated level, the Town’s
R&R reserves which are tax funded can be summarized as follows:
Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, January 22, 2019
Item R1
Page 8 of 15
January 22, 2019 Page 9 of 15 Report No. FS19-001
Consolidated Tax Based Repair & Replacement Reserve Performance
This graph illustrates the annual planned spend to be funded from these reserves,
based upon the updated 2018 ten year capital plan. It is important to note that this
identified planned spend does not represent the full planned R&R spend for each year,
rather it is only the portion of the full planned spend that has not been funded through
an alternative source of revenue such as grants, gas tax or other external funding. The
above graphic presents the projected consolidated R&R reserve fund balance at the
end of each year, and the expected total cash to capital contribution to flow into these
reserves each year. Looking at the far right hand side, the Town’s target of achieving an
ending reserve balance of approximately two times the average annual spend for that
planning period is presented. As can be seen above, the tax funded R&R reserves, as a
group, do not reach the desired planning period end reserve balance target. However,
the period end consolidated balance of $7,088,100 does exceed the period’s average
annual funding need of $5,540,800. Staff will strive to continue to improve upon this
target in future years. A similar analysis to that presented above for the Town’s other
key capital funding reserves can be found within the detailed ten year capital plan under
the “Funding Sources” section.
Each year, this model must be reviewed in order to ensure that the ten year plan for the
cash to capital contributions remains sustainable and balanced with the capital
requirements of the plan, with an expectation of annual cash to capital increases in the
long term that keep pace with the inflationary pressures placed on capital program
costs. It is important to note that the planned annual contribution increases as set out in
Table 3 are based only on the data contained in the most current 10 year plan, and are
revisited each year based upon all new available information that has been acquired as
part of the most recent capital update process.

Draft 2019 Capital Budgets
For 2019, the capital budget continues to be segregated into three key groupings which
align with the conceptual differences in capital project funding sources, thus allowing for
a more focussed examination. These three sections being:
- Repair and Replacement (R&R) of existing Town Infrastructure Capital
- Growth and New (G&N) Town Infrastructure Capital
- Major Studies and Other (S&O) Capital
Any 2019 capital budget proposals that came out of the Town’s January 14, 2019 public
stakeholder consultation that were referred by Council to the draft 2019 capital budget
have been integrated into the draft 2019 capital plan for the budget committee’s
consideration.
In some instances, staff have recommended the conditional approval of select capital
projects in recognition that further information (in the form of an additional report to
Council) is required before the project can be formally approved by Council. Any
conditionally approved capital projects that do not have their conditions satisfied by
September 30, 2019 will require Council reconsideration. In addition, any Council pre-
approved projects have been identified as such.
The Draft 2019 Repair and Replacement of existing Town infrastructure Capital
program, for both tax and rate funded assets, is summarized follows:
2019 to 2028 average annual planned
requirement $11,945,600
2019 planned requirements as forecasted in
2017 ten year plan $19,471,000
2019 Draft Budget $10,846,200
Funded by:
Tax funded R&R reserves $4,008,100
Rate funded R&R reserves 4,560,000
Federal Gas Tax Grants 1,150,000
Ontario Community Infrastructure Grant 1,101,000
Special Purpose Reserves 27,100
The recommended repair and replacement capital program for 2019 is included in the
budget binder, with details provided for each proposed project.

Tax Funded R & R Reserve 335,000
Other Funding Sources (ie. Special
Purpose reserves, Hydro fund, etc.) 21,873,000
This Growth & New capital program includes five major projects (i) an addition to the
Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex (SARC), (ii) the redevelopment of Library Square,
(iii) a pumper truck for the new fire hall, (iv) continued work at the wildlife park and (v)
Aurora promenade work.
Of these noted projects, the proposed addition to the SARC and the redevelopment of
Library Square, their included requirements and funding sources have been inserted
into the 2019 budget purely as placeholders. These placeholders will be subject to
change as per future staff reports to Council. Consequently, staff will recommend that
the Budget Committee conditionally approve these two projects.
In many instances the incremental costs relating to the creation of a new asset extend
beyond its initial capital investment. Many new assets will require an ongoing
incremental operating fund requirement over the course of their useful lives such as
fuel, electricity, maintenance and staff input costs. In instances where these noted
costs are known and can be estimated, they have been identified along with the initial
capital investment costs within each capital project business case for Council’s
recognition and pre-approval. Should Council approve staff’s recommended 2019
growth and new capital investment program, they are pre-approving these capital
investment’s incremental operating costs as well.
The recommended Growth and New Town Infrastructure Capital program for 2019 is
included in the budget binder.

Financial Implications
With regards to the Strategic Asset Management Policy, the AMP and its associated
Ten Year Capital Investment Plan, there are no direct financial commitments being
made in this report. The Strategic Asset Management Policy, AMP and Ten Year
Capital Investment Plan are guidance and/or planning documents only, serving to assist
in asset repair and replacement decision points as well as long range financial planning.
These documents provide insight and opportunity to make financial planning
adjustments to avoid future financial pinch points or other problems arising. The AMP
and associated ten year plan also give clear insight to Council and to the public as to
planned projects well in advance, including the provision of further context such as the
priorities of individual projects relative to each other.
Staff recommend an equivalent tax increase amount of 0.7% to the tax cash to capital
contribution to be funded out of the total 1% tax increase for Town Fiscal Strategies that
Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, January 22, 2019
Item R1
Page 12 of 15

will be included in the 2019 draft operating budget as per Council direction. This
increased contribution in support of infrastructure is consistent with the
recommendations contained within this report. The remaining fiscal strategy funding will
be addressed as part of the annual operating budget discussions that are scheduled to
commence in the latter half of February, 2019.
The 2019 Draft Capital Budget proposes a total capital program of $61,623,800. Staff
feel that this proposed budget is financially feasible assuming Council’s continued
support for the Town’s cash to capital funding strategy as outlined in table 3 and the
continued receipt of the key federal (federal gas tax) and provincial infrastructure grants
(Ontario Community Infrastructure Funding).
Communications Considerations
Financial Services and Corporate Communications have worked closely to develop a
comprehensive communication plan around the Town’s 2019 capital and operating
budget. The plan was developed with the intent of increasing public participation in the
budget process.
A 2019 operating and capital budget special consultation meeting was held on January
14th where public stakeholders were invited to attend in order to make funding requests
or to share their ideas relating to opportunities for service delivery savings and/or for
new revenue generation.
Also available via the Town’s web site is a suite of budget videos that have been
promoted extensively through the Town website, social media, media release, online
newspapers, partner web sites, digital screens, email blasts, newspaper
advertisements, postcards, banner displays in Town Hall and through in-person public
engagement at Town facilities and Town events.
In addition to the above mentioned channels, budget meetings are open to the public
and Corporate Communications will continue to promote these meetings through the
website, social media and the Notice Board.
Link to Strategic Plan
Developing the annual capital budget supports all aspects of the Strategic Plan. In
particular, outlining and understanding the Town’s long term financial planning and use
of financial reserves to buffer related fluctuations in financial requirements from year to
year contribute to achieving the Strategic Plan’s guiding principle of “Leadership in

Corporate Management” and improves transparency and accountability to the
community.
Alternative(s) to the Recommendation
1. Council may choose to accept, amend or reject any or all of the recommendations of
this report.
2. Council may provide alternative directions with respect to the Strategic Asset
Management Policy, the Ten Year Capital Plan contents, including the detailed 2019
Capital Plan.
Conclusions
The 2019 recommended capital investment budget is introduced by this report. The
Budget Committee will now begin its detailed reviews of the Strategic Asset
Management Policy, Asset Management Plan, Ten Year Capital Investment Plan and
the 2019 Capital Budgets.
All Budget Committee meetings are open to the public. Members of the public interested
in providing input to these proceedings are encouraged to attend as early in the process
as possible, or to provide their comments by email through the Town’s website at
www.aurora.ca; or by email to OurTownBudget@Aurora.ca. All constructive input
related to the 2019 Capital Budgets is welcomed; however no formal funding requests
can be received via this mechanism. Any email submission comments will be
summarized and presented to Committee as they are submitted. Submissions relating
to the 2019 operating budget will be retained and presented at the appropriate time to
Committee.
Attachments
The following materials will be included in the budget binder to be distributed separately
at the January 22, 2019 Council meeting for its review at its subsequent budget
committee meeting scheduled on February 2, 2019. This distributed material will also be

or any person authorized in writing by the owner, may, despite any other Act, authorize
such minor variance from the provisions of the by-law, in respect of the land, building or
