STEP 5 - CONTINUUM OF SERVICES

5.A The Continuum of Services is a document that was originally developed in 2005 thatgroups all the services that the City provides into one of five categories; from the least tomost discretionary, as follows:

1. Legislative requirements2. Core function for all organizations3. Core function for municipalities4. Highly desirable5. Like to do if possible

Direction was initially given by Council in June to update the Continuum of Services,and provide detailed information on those services that are the most discretionary(identified as those that are "highly desirable", or "like to do if possible"). TheContinuum would then become the tool to identify potential reductions that could beused to achieve the 2013 Budget target.

The updated Continuum was provided to Members of Council in November; however, itbecame clear that the elimination of many services outlined on the Continuum couldrequire a significant amount of lead time. Depending on the services Council were tochoose, if any, opportunities for savings in 2013 could be limited. As such, theCommittee must give direction to staff in order for them to have time to implement anyreductions for the 2014 Budget.

In addition, Council has since approved additional budget reductions that couldpotentially achieve the target for 2013 without the use of the Continuum. As such,Council approved the follOWing recommendation from the Estimates Committee onDecember 17th

,

"THA T the Estimates Committee BE DIRECTED to identify Continuum of Servicesitems that are needed to meet the 2014 budget target of 1.54% and report back toCouncil in January, 2013."

5.B Which of the following services, if any, does the Estimates Committee wish to identify toprovide reductions needed to meet the 2014 Budget target?

Step 7 . Property Tax Ratio Reduction Policy

7. The following 12 year plan was approved by Council as part of the City's StrategicFinancial Plan to implement a Property Tax Ratio Reduction Policy:

Year 1 - 2009

Only apply the reduction of the residential tax grant as per Council direction from 2007and reduce the industrial class tax ratio by only the legislated requirement if there is abudget increase. This will result in a 2.2% or $50.00 tax bill increase to the averageresidential taxpayer plus whatever the shift from the industrial property class mayrequire.

Year 2·2010

Only apply the reduction of the residential tax grant as per Council direction from 2007and reduce the industrial class tax ratio by only the legislated requirement if there is abudget increase. This again will result in a 2.2% or $50.00 tax bill increase to theaverage residential taxpayer plus whatever the shift from the industrial property classmay require.

Year 3 - 2011

Reduce the industrial property class tax ratio to the threshold for the property class. Thiswill leave the commercial and multi-residential property class tax ratios at their currentlevel and reduce the industrial class tax ratio to 2.6300 from the current 2.9334. Thisreduction will shift or increase by approx $30.00 or 1.3% the average residentialtaxpayer's property taxes.

Year4· 2012

Reduce the commercial, industrial and multi-residential property class tax ratios by 10%of the difference between the existing ratios and the 1.5000 equivalence target for thetax ratios in the 3 business classes. This reduction will shift or increase by approx$30.00 or 1.3% the average residential taxpayer's property taxes.

Year 5 to 12 - 2013 to 2020

Continue to reduce the commercial, industrial and multi-residential property classtax ratios by the same percentages as they were reduced in 2012. This reductionwill shift or increase by approx $30.00 or 1.3%, per year, the average residentialtaxpayer's property taxes.
