MEMORANDUM
Date: December 4, 2012
To: Chair Dawe, Members of Budget Committee
Corporate & Financial
Services Department
From: Dan Elliott, Director of Corporate & Financial Services -Treasurer
Re: Additional Capital Budget Request — Development Charges Bylaw Study
Recommendation:
That Committee recommend to Council for approval a special study to
review and update the Town's Development Charges bylaw, in the amount
of $45,000, to be funded from the General Government DC Reserve Fund.
Council recently approved the resolution of a longstanding Development Charges bylaw
appeal from 2009. During those discussions, staff identified the need to update the
Town's DC bylaw earlier than the required update in 2014. Staff recommend that such
"study" project be approved as part of the 2013 Capital Budget, for completion during
the early parts of 2013. This will enable the Town to ensure the optimal development
charge rates are collected as we move into the build -out phases of the 2C lands.
Funding for such study is provided in the current DC Background Study, within the
General Government component DC Reserve Fund account.
Early approval through the Capital Budget process will ensure staff are able to get this
study underway early in 2013. Once funding is approved, staff will bring forward the
necessary report regarding selection of the necessary specialized consultant for, this
work, including a more detailed scope of work document and timeline for completion of
the project.
Respectfully requested,
iott
Treasurer
