               i.       Facilities and Real Estate in the amount of $4.190 million for the Rexdale Multi-Service Community Hub, comprised of: a $3.260 million ISF contribution from the Governments of Canada and Ontario, $0.080 million from previously approved City capital, and $0.850 from third-party contributions; and

               ii.      Economic Development and Culture in the amount of $4.501 million for the Canadian Film Centre, comprised of: a $4.000 million ISF contribution from the Governments of Canada and Ontario, and $0.501 from third-party contributions.

4.         Any future budget amendments that may result from the implementation of City stimulus projects be reported as part of regular quarterly Capital Budget variance reports.

5.         Authorize the appropriate City officials to take the necessary actions to give effect thereto.

 On September 23, 2009, Council approved City infrastructure projects to be included in funding agreements under Federal and Provincial stimulus programs.

This report seeks authority for the Mayor and City Manager to enter into additional funding agreements with the Government of Ontario for the delivery of the Canadian Film Centre, Rexdale Multi-Purpose Community Hub, and Regent Park Arts and Cultural Centre projects under the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund program, and presents the financial impact of these funding agreements on the 2010 – 2019 Council Approved Capital Budget and Plan.

Incremental costs for these stimulus projects are fully funded by the Federal and Provincial governments, previously approved City capital, and third-party contributions. No new City funding is being requested in this report.

City Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF) Program Increase

Entering into these funding agreements will increase the overall cost of City ISF funded projects by $34.691 million, from $595.292 million, as approved in September 2009, to $629.983 million. Table 1 summarizes the $34.691 million of “Total Additional Cost” of which $10.691 million are managed by City programs and $24.000 million by the Toronto Community Housing Corporation. The cost of City managed projects are funded approximately two-thirds or $7.260 million by the Federal and Provincial governments and one-third or $3.431 million by the City and third-party contributions.

The City of Toronto, on behalf of the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC), has received approval for an ISF contribution for the construction of Regent Park Arts & Culture Centre in the amount of $24.000 million. This project is fully funded by the Federal and Provincial governments with no commitment from the City.

2010 to 2019 Capital Budget and Plan Amendment

The impact on the City of Toronto’s 2010 Capital Budget and Plan is $8.691million in additional project expenditures comprised of $4.190 million for the Rexdale Multi-Service Community Hub; and $4.501 million for the Canadian Film Centre (see Table 2). These projects have previously approved funding in the 2010 Capital Budget and Plan in the amount of $4.000 million for Rexdale Multi-Service Community Hub, and $2.000 million for Canadian Film Centre.

The total ISF budget for the Rexdale Multi-Service Community Hub, formerly Father Henry Carr Community Hub, will increase by $4.190 million to $8.190 million. Of this increase the Federal and Provincial governments have committed to fund $1.730 million and $1.530 million respectively. The balance will be funded by $0.080 million from previously approved City capital, and $0.850 million from third-party contributions.

The Canadian Film Centre previously received Council approval for $2.000 million in capital works under the Windfields Restoration project. The Federal and Provincial governments have committed to fund $4.000 million, and $0.501 million will be provided through third-party contributions, for an overall budget increase of $4.501 million. No incremental increase in City funding is required.

The Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.

9.         The General Manager, Solid Waste Management Services be authorized to administer and manage the Biogas Utilization Agreement, including the provision of any consents, approvals, notices and notices of termination provided that the General Manager, Solid Waste Management Services may, at any time, refer consideration of such matters (including their content) to City Council for its determination and direction.

THESI/OPPL will design, construct, own and operate the entire biogas utilization system and will incur all associated capital and operating expenses over the term of the Lease Agreement and the Biogas Utilization Agreement.

These agreements will generate revenue for the City and will not result in additional capital or operating costs for the City.

The City will lease land to THESI/OPPL for the purpose of locating the compressor plant, a portion of the biogas pipeline and, possibly, a generation plant.  The City will also supply biogas to THESI/OPPL which THESI/OPPL will convert into electricity and heat.

Lease Revenue

THESI/OPPL will lease approximately 0.5 hectare (or 53,820 square feet) of vacant buffer land of the Green Lane Landfill ("GLL") from the City for an initial term of 25 years.  In the first year of the term, the annual rent payment will be approximately $32,292.00.  The annual rental payment will be increased by 2.5 percent for each of the subsequent years of the term and the 10 year extension term, if THESI/OPPL exercises its option to extend the term.  The estimated total rental payment revenue for the term and the extension term is $1,773,741.00.  THESI/OPPL will be responsible for all capital and operational costs, so that the lease will be fully net and carefree to the City.

Biogas Royalty Revenue

Under the Biogas Utilization Agreement, beginning in the month in which the cogeneration plant begins operations, which is expected to be July 2013, and in each month of the term thereafter, THESI/OPPL will pay to the City a variable royalty payment. The amount of the variable royalty payment will be a percentage (the "royalty percentage") of the gross revenue received by THESI/OPPL from the sale of electricity produced from biogas supplied by the City.

The monthly variable royalty payment amounts are expected to vary over the term due to changes in the gross revenue received by THESI/OPPL from the sale of the electricity and also due to the tiered structure of royalty percentages.

The amount of electricity which THESI/OPPL will be able to sell will vary due to changes in the quantity and quality of biogas supplied by the City, and possibly also due to unplanned interruptions in THESI/OPPL’s ability to utilize the biogas or sell the electricity.

The Biogas Utilization Agreement will establish four tiers of royalty percentage based on the quantity and methane content of the biogas supplied by the City.  The highest royalty percentage will apply when the quantity of biogas supplied by the City is near its expected maximum amount and the methane content of the biogas is 45 per cent by volume or greater.  Lower royalty percentages will apply when lesser quantities of biogas are supplied or when the methane content of the biogas is less than 45 per cent by volume.

The City and THESI/OPPL have reviewed a financial model of the Biogas Utilization Agreement which applies the variable royalty payment structure described above to the expected implementation schedule of the cogeneration and generation plants and the forecasted future variation in the quantity of biogas available.  Based on this analysis, the annual totals of the monthly variable royalty payments due to the City, beginning in 2013 and over the remainder of the term of the Agreement, are expected to vary from approximately $1,500,000.00 to $2,300,000.00.  The estimated total variable royalty payment for the term excluding the extension period is $42,679,000.00.

The rental income and variable royalty payments to the City over the term are summarized in Table 1. Estimates of biogas volume derive from a study commissioned by Solid Waste Management Services in 2009, which considered the quantities and types of waste expected to be disposed of at the GLL over its remaining life. Electricity sales were calculated assuming normal losses when converting biogas into electricity and the electricity purchase price currently offered by the OPA’s FIT Program applied to all electricity produced from the biogas over the term. The average royalty percentage reflects the top tier royalty percentage which is considered to be reasonable over the term based on current landfill gas production.

Table 1: Summary of Rental Income and Variable Royalty Payments

Notes:

1.         Includes electricity sales in years 2013 to 2015 only. Construction of the biogas utilization system will occur in years 2011 and 2012. Sale of electricity from the cogeneration plant is expected to begin in 2013.

2.         Includes electricity sales in years 2013 and 2032 only. The 20-year term of the FIT program contract for electricity from the cogeneration plant will expire in 2032. A different and unknown purchase price will apply to electricity sold in year 2033 and beyond. Electricity revenues expected in 2033 and beyond cannot be estimated at this time and are ‘To be Determined’ and are therefore excluded from this table.

The variable royalty payments will be allocated to the operating budget of the Solid Waste Management Services under the item Disposal Services, Green Lane Landfill account SW0901. Any resultant net operating surplus will be contributed to the Green Lane Landfill Reserve Fund.  The rental revenue payments will be allocated to the operating budget of the Real Estate Services Division under the cost centre FA2490.

The Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.

The Director, Toronto Environment Office recommends that City Council:

1.         Authorize the Director, Toronto Environment Office to negotiate and execute a Memorandum of Understanding with Enbridge Gas and Toronto Hydro to deliver a joint low-income home energy efficiency program for Toronto in 2010 and 2011, on the terms and conditions described in Appendix A of this report and otherwise on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Director, Toronto Environment Office and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

2.         Request the Director of the Environment Office to report back on any changes to the program if there are new partnership opportunities or programs in this sector from the Ontario Government or the Ontario Power Authority, or if there are further changes to the Federal ecoEnergy or Enbridge Home Weatherization programs.

This report recommends the establishment of new partnership between the City of Toronto, Toronto Hydro and Enbridge Gas to jointly deliver a low-income low-rise home energy retrofit program that addresses electricity, gas and water conservation.  City Council approved $2 million in funding for this initiative in August 2009, as part of a $9 million commitment to a Live Green Toronto Home Energy Efficiency program.

Low-income residents, including a large proportion of seniors with fixed incomes, have inherent difficulty financing and undertaking home energy retrofits.  The proposed program would help to overcome this barrier, build on existing energy conservation programs and complement various initiatives to assist low-income residents.

Funding from the City would expand the range of conservation measures in a program that Enbridge currently offers to the low-income sector.  The additional funds would allow for deeper retrofits such as additional insulation, heating equipment upgrades and subsidizing the cost of home energy assessments so that the partners can leverage Provincial grant monies.  The City would also support water efficiency improvements such as low-flow toilet installation. 

The program would be a one-stop service managed by the third party Delivery Agent who currently delivers the Enbridge program.  The Delivery Agent would undertake the initial eligibility screening, energy assessments, co-ordination of the retrofit process and the completion of reports required for the Provincial grant program.   This joint partnership approach would ensure that the allocation of pooled resources is efficiently administered and optimized to achieve maximum greenhouse gas emission reductions.
