Origin
(November 24, 2009) Report from City Manager and Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer
Summary

This report presents the City of Toronto Budget Committee (BC) Recommended 2010 – 2019 Capital Budget and Plan and recommends approval of 2010 cash flow and future years commitments for capital projects.  Furthermore, the report requests Council’s approval of the 2011 - 2019 Capital Plan, which will form the basis for developing future capital budgets, in accordance with the City’s multi-year financial planning and budgeting policy; and recommends that City Council delegate authority to the Mayor and Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer to enter into agreements to borrow for eligible capital projects under the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Low Interest Loan Program on behalf of Toronto Housing Corporation.

 

The Budget Committee Recommended 2010 Capital Budget and 2011 - 2019 Capital Plan (henceforth ‘Capital Budget and Plan’) invests in capital projects that fulfil the Mayor and Council’s strategic priorities; leverages economic stimulus program funding from the Federal and Provincial governments to renew the City’s infrastructure that support City services and create 30,000 jobs in 2010 and 300,000 jobs during the 10-year term of the capital plan (including rate programs); and maintains the City’s existing infrastructure in a state of good repair.  Further, the Capital Budget and Plan invests in transit, public works infrastructure; public safety and emergency services; revitalizes and expands public spaces, and as a key priority, invests in projects that protect the environment.

 

To fulfil the Mayor and Council’s priorities, the 2010 - 2019 Capital Budget and Plan totals $16.230 billion.  This is comprised of a 2010 Capital Budget of $2.430 billion, and estimates of $13.800 billion for the nine years 2011 – 2019 (see Table 1, below).  Capital expenditures to maintain and renew the City’s substantive infrastructure total $9.837 billion, representing 61% of the total Budget Committee Recommended 2010 – 2019 Capital Budget and Plan (see Table 2, below).  This strategy has resulted in decreases to the City’s state of good repair backlog beginning in 2011 and continuing through to 2019.  As illustrated later in this report, the state of good repair backlog will decrease from $1.578 billion in 2009 to $1.120 billion in 2019 – a reduction of 29%.

 

While emphasis has been placed on maintaining and protecting the City’s existing infrastructure and physical assets, the Capital Budget and Plan also invests $5.666 billion over 10 years in strategic and priority service improvement and growth related projects to accommodate increasing service demands and growth.

 

As illustrated in Table 1 below, Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) alone accounts for more than one-half of the expenditures recommended in the 10-year capital spending plan.  Inclusive of Transit City and the Spadina Subway Extension, the TTC 2010 – 2019 Capital Budget and Plan is $8.713 billion, approximately 54% of the recommended Capital Budget and Plan; and Transportation Services totals $2.291 billion or 14%. Together, TTC and Transportation Services comprise approximately 68% of expenditures recommended in the Capital Budget and Plan. It is noted that the recommended capital plan includes only one-year funding for Transit City.  However, the Province has announced funds totaling $8.150 billion for four funded Transit City projects.

Debt and capital from current contributions (CFC) are the primary funding sources for the Capital Budget and Plan.  Debt funding totals $4.740 billion, or 29% of the Capital Budget and Plan.  The recommended debt funding exceeds the debt target of $4.395 billion by $344 million, primarily to meet the capital needs of TTC and for priority investments in renewed infrastructure such as the Pan Am Games.  TTC exceeded its assigned debt target by $222 million.

 

Capital from current funding totals $2.598 billion or 16% of the total funding allocated in the Capital Budget and Plan.  CFC will increase from $165 million in 2010 to $354 million in 2019.  This represents a 10% annual increase beginning in 2010 in order to reduce reliance on debt funding for capital maintenance and repair projects.  In part, because of the policy to increase CFC funding, the BC Recommended 2010 – 2019 Capital Budget and Capital Plan will require no new debt funding except for TTC, beginning in 2014, and no new debt at all beginning in 2015.

1a Long Term Financial Strategy - Debt Restructuring
Origin
(November 19, 2009) Report from Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer
Summary

The purpose of this report is to recommend a number of changes to the City’s debt financing strategy in order to assist in managing the Council approved debt service ratio guideline. This would be accomplished by:

 

           better matching the useful life of capital projects with the term of debt (and smoothing debt service impacts) by extending the term of new debt issuance debt to up to 30 years for capital projects that create assets with long service life;

 

           in keeping with the above approach, changing the capital financing for the Waterfront Revitalization and the Spadina Subway Extension projects to debt financing;

 

           reducing debt service costs by reallocating the reserve funding for the Spadina Subway Extension and various Waterfront Revitalization projects to pay down debt by prepaying and eliminating a portion of the City’s future Sinking Fund payment obligations; and

 

           accelerating the debt pay down by monetizing the Toronto Hydro promissory note owed to the City of Toronto to provide for full redemption by December 31, 2010. 

 

Council adoption of the recommended strategies will assist in managing the City’s indebtedness, contribute to the containment of the City’s debt service costs, maintain a debt service ratio below 15% of tax supported levies, and thereby maintain or enhance the City’s credit profile.
