2011 Proposed Complement 561.0 Five‐year levy and tax projection Based on projects and service levels proposed in the budget, the projected five‐year levy and tax impacts are as follows:

2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015County Tax Levy ($000's) $70,056 $73,445 $76,452 $79,615 $83,153 $86,826Residential tax impact 2.5% 3.2% 3.1% 3.2% 3.5% 3.4%

Each of these figures is less than projections included in 2010‐2014 five year plan. Budget Summary

5

The 2011‐2015 Capital Plan contemplates a $117 million investment in infrastructure, facilities and equipment. Almost 2/3 of projected capital spending relates to roads and bridges. Additional areas of investment include policing, library services, solid waste services, and social housing. Facility development projects include the construction of the new north Wellington Police Operations Centre, an expanded and renovated Harriston library branch, a new Central Garage and a new tree nursery in north Wellington, as well as ongoing improvements at County landfill sites and transfer stations, and work to improve the condition of the 1189 County‐owned housing units. The County’s long term borrowing plan remains sustainable and affordable, with only 4 projects scheduled to be financed in part using debt financing: the proposed Police Operations Centre in north Wellington, the Centre Wellington Police facility, the County’s contribution to the POA facility in the City of Guelph (carried over from 2010), and the Roads Central Garage (to be recovered from Development Charges). Debt financing accounts for just over 2% of total capital funding over 5 years, with the vast majority of the capital plan funded from the tax levy and reserves.

On the operating side, the County will benefit from the continued upload of social benefit costs – specifically the final upload of Ontario Disability Support Programme costs and the second year of the Ontario Works benefit upload. Savings related to the 2010 social services arbitration ruling will be transferred to reserves for future use. Service levels will be improved through the hiring of new police officers and adding hours at various library branches. While uncertainty still exists with respect to the long term impacts of the Province’s full day learning initiative, additional provincial funding has eased the property tax funding requirements projected in last year’s 5 year plan. The budget and 5 year plan ultimately represent the levels of service and capital investment desired by County Council. The proposed 2011 budget builds on previous budgets by improving services, renewing facilities and infrastructure, and minimizing reliance on long term borrowing. Respectfully submitted,

Craig Dyer, CGA County Treasurer

COUNTY OF WELLINGTON

2011 Budget Explanation of Significant Budget items

Operating Budget Revenue • Municipal recoveries of $647,700 represents maintenance contracts with Perth County, Peel Region, the

Town of Milton as well as the 7 lower tier municipalities located within the County of Wellington. • User fees and charges: includes $135,000 payment from the Ministry of Natural Resources under the

Aggregate Resources Act, which is transferred to the Roads Capital reserve on an annual basis. Also included in this line are permits and other user fees which account for the increase based on experience in 2010.

• Sales revenue: $300,000 in auction revenue from the sale of used County equipment, which is transferred to the County’s Equipment Reserve.

• Internal recoveries: represents the recovery of internal equipment rental charges in the equipment budget and recovery for work performed by Roads staff for other County departments.

Expenditure • Salaries and benefits: the 2011 salary and benefit budgets are based on work volumes similar to those

experienced over the past 3 years. • Supplies materials and equipment: the majority of the decrease is related to sand and salt purchases. The

2011 budget has been reduced to reflect projected costs. • Purchased services/Insurance and financial: includes costs related to operating and maintaining the County

garages, fleet and roads. The increase in 2011 relates to additional gravel to be applied to the County roads. Insurance and financial represent the insurance costs for the County vehicles.

• Transfers to reserve: includes a $1.23 million transfer to the equipment reserve, as set out in the 5 year plan, which will provide sufficient funding for the proposed acquisitions over the forecast period. Other transfers include $135,000 of aggregate revenue, and $300,000 transfer of auction revenue.

• Winter Control: the costs associated with winter control have been captured in the above mentioned categories. Overall, the budget for winter control was $4.54 million in 2010; it is expected that given the weather experienced in November and December 2010 that actual costs related to winter control will be lower than the budgeted amount. Winter control expenditures have been increased slightly to $4.61 million for 2011 to reflect the most updated 5‐year inflated average. In 2010 County Council established a winter control reserve – any savings from 2010 will be transferred to this reserve and in turn it will be used as a funding source in the event that 2011 costs exceed the budgeted levels.

31

Capital Budget In accordance with the Capital Budget and Long Term Financing Policy, the list of capital works includes those initiatives that have a long‐term benefit to the corporation and whose capital cost is at least $25,000. Highlights of the $73.0 million five year Roads capital forecast are as follows: $58.7 million for the existing network of roads, bridges and signals: the 2011 tax levy requirement for road,

bridge and facility work is comparable to the amount projected in last year’s 5 year plan. The tax levy funding level is maintained over the forecast period and the current list of proposed capital works over the five years is attached.

The Federal Gas Tax transfer is now constant at $2.62 million per year. There are 12 construction projects

and 10 asphalt resurfacing projects proposed to be funded in full or in part from the Federal Gas Tax Reserve Fund amounting to over $14.4 million over five years:

1. Construction on WR 46, Maltby Road to WR 34, 2.0 km in 2013 2. WR 7, Culvert # 07051, liner in 2011

3. WR 7, Bridge # 07059 (Elora Gorge Bridge), asphalt deck in 2011

4. WR 7, Culvert # 07096, liner in 2011

5. WR 11, Flax Bridge # 11025, rehabilitation– engineering is planned in 2012 and the construction will take

place in 2013.

6. WR 18, Tower St Bridge # 18055, rehabilitation‐ engineering was completed on this project in 2010 and the construction will take place in 2012.

7. WR 21, Culvert, N of Eighth Line Centre Wellington, liner in 2011

8. WR 86 Culvert# 86170 – engineering is planned for 2013 and construction will take place in 2014.

9. WR 86 Culvert# 86180 ‐ engineering is planned for 2013 and construction will take place in 2014.

10. WR 87, Bridge # 87137 (Maitland Overflow), rehabilitation‐ engineering is planned for 2013 and

construction will take place in 2014.

11. WR 87, Bridge # 87138 (Maitland River), rehabilitation – engineering is planned for 2013 and construction will take place in 2014.

12. WR 109, Bridge 109132, rehabilitation – engineering is planned for 2013 and construction will take place

in 2014.

32

Asphalt resurfacing projects proposed for the 2011‐2015 period that will be funded from the Federal Gas Tax include:

o WR 14 from Gordonville Bridge northerly to Line 8, 2.7 km in 2011 o WR 86, Perth Rd 131 to WR 11, 7.4 km (Perth project) in 2011 o WR 19, Fergus to Belwood, 9.8 km in years 2011‐2013 o WR 29, 1.2 km south of WR 124 to Hwy 7, 3.6 km in 2011 o WR 41, Guelph to Arkell and WR 37 (urban), 2.4 km in 2012 o WR 2, WR 3 to Drew Ball Diamond, 2.0 km in 2013 o WR 10, WR 8 to WR 7, 4.2 km in 2013 o WR 10, Conc 8 to 4, 5.4 km in 2015 o WR 10, WR 86 to Conc 4, 5.4km in 2015 o WR 14, old railway tracks north for 5.1 km in 2015

$8.5 million in equipment replacement: the equipment replacement expenditures are to be funded in full

from the equipment replacement reserve, which in turn will be partially funded through reserve contributions from the tax levy.

$5,860,000 is budgeted for facility improvements and acquisitions; in particular the Central Garage Project has been budgeted for in 2012. The budget for the project is based on the most recent cost estimate from the County’s consultant. In 2010 County Council directed staff to proceed with project on the basis that the existing structure will be demolished and a new structure built on the same site. The plan for 2011 is to remove and replace the existing fuel tanks, finish the design and issue and award the tender. Due to lead times for some material, the actual construction will take place in full in 2012. Funding for the construction project will be $1.4 million from the County levy, $1.0 million from the property reserve and $2.3 million from development charges.

User Fees and Charges The attached schedule sets out the user fees and charges currently in place covering sign permits, entrance permits, encroachment agreements, oversize load permits and tender documents. The Committee and County Council have the authority to adjust these rates at any time through an amendment to the by‐law.

Explanation of Significant Budget items Operating Budget The proposed 2011 Library budget represents operating expenditures of $4,875,600, net capital and reserve financing of $1,413,100 and a net levy impact of $5,909,800. Expenditure and revenue highlights are as follows: Revenue • Grants and subsidies: the Library receives a per household grant of roughly $152,500 from the Province that

has been frozen for several years. • Municipal Recoveries: the recovery from the Municipality of West Grey for use of the County library system

by their residents will not be renewed in 2011. • Licenses, Permits and Rents: the decrease is a result of Service Canada declining to renew the arrangement

with the County whereby they financially reimbursed library staff to provide basic services to the public on behalf of Service Canada. Service Canada would like to enter into a new agreement whereby they do not provide any financial compensation and have one of their own staff visit the Mount Forest branch on a weekly basis.

• User Fees and Charges: revenue from fines, lost cards, non‐resident memberships, and lost/damaged book charges has been increased in 2011 to reflect experience in 2010

• Other revenue: the majority of the 2010 actuals consist of unbudgeted donations – the budget provision for the remaining revenue is unchanged

Internal Recoveries: The internal recoveries line represents a library collection provision included in the Development Charges study to increase the library collection proportionate to the projected increase in population, while maintaining the current standard. The collection provision amount has been increased in 2011 as there is no capital collection enhancement requirement for new libraries in 2011

Expenditure • Salaries & Wages: Changes in staffing include:

o Salaries and wages reflect the current salary grid and movement of staff through pay steps. o Annualization of expanded hours at the new Mount Forest branch ($90,000) o Expanded hours at the new Puslinch branch ($30,000) o Annualization of Sunday hours at Aboyne Branch ($15,000) o Additional staff hours at Drayton to meet demand ($15,000)

• Supplies, materials and equipment: Includes the library book budget, a portion of which is funded from development charges. Reduced computer hardware requirements accounts for the decrease.

• Minor Capital: minor repairs and renovation work is planned at the Aboyne, Marden and Drayton branches in 2011

• Debt charges: Relates to the long term financing of the Clifford, Arthur and Drayton branches, a portion of which is recovered from development charges

65

Capital Budget In accordance with the Capital Budget and Long Term Financing Policy, the list of capital works includes those initiatives that have a long‐term benefit to the corporation and whose capital cost is at least $25,000. Significant capital investment is proposed for the libraries over the five‐year plan; projects identified include:

Balance of funding ($500,000) in 2011 for the construction of the new Puslinch branch. The tender was awarded in 2010 and completion is expected in mid 2011.

The expansion and renovation of the Harriston Carnegie Library is scheduled for 2011 and 2012. Design work will commence in early 2011 with construction expected to be complete in 2012. Although the full scope of the work has yet to be determined, additional funding has been allocated to this project pending the completion of the design work. Any further budget amendments will be recommended at the time the project tender is awarded.

The five‐year plan includes a provision for additional library space in Centre Wellington. The branch study completed in 2006 indicated a need for 5,000 additional square feet within the Township. A portion of that need was addressed by the Elora branch expansion in 2009.

Façade improvements at the Aboyne location are planned for 2011 The repair/replacement of the roof at the Aboyne branch is scheduled for 2013 Additional capital includes interior work at the Aboyne Library, library van replacement and a new boiler at

the Palmerston branch. The net tax levy requirement for Libraries in 2011 is $5,909,800, which is a 3.7% increase over 2010. The increase to the levy requirement for Libraries is attributable mainly to additional service hours at various branches. User Fees and Charges The attached schedule sets out the user fees and charges currently in place. The Committee and County Council have the authority to adjust these rates at any time through an amendment to the by‐law.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW Programme: Ontario Works: Income Services Department: Social Services Governance: Social Services Committee

Programme description Temporary financial assistance is provided to residents in need while they participate in employment assistance programmes to become employed and achieve self reliance. Income assistance is provided for the purposes of basic needs and shelter as well as other benefits prescribed in the regulations to those applicants who meet mandatory eligibility requirements. The Special Services division delivers Domiciliary Care programmes, the Consolidated Homelessness Prevention Programmes, Emergency Hostels, Youth Services and other Discretionary Benefits. The Cost Recovery Services division is responsible for the programme and financial accountability of the Ontario Works Programmes. These services include eligibility review, assisting in the pursuit of child/spousal/sponsorship support, overpayment recovery, facilitation of the mandatory internal review process and case presentation at the Social Benefit Tribunal. As Consolidated Municipal Service Manager, the County delivers these services in a specific geographic area which includes both the County of Wellington and the City of Guelph. The net municipal cost is apportioned to the County and City based on the residence of the recipient.

2011 Budget Highlights • The final phase of the ODSP benefit cost upload removes the municipal cost share for this

programme resulting in cost savings of $3.75 million ($2.72 million to the City and $1.03 million to the County)

• 2011 budget figures for Ontario Works payments include a 1% rate increase as well as a 3% caseload increase over 2010 year‐end projected actuals.

• Staffing changes include the annualization of one Income Support Caseworker and the removal of one Income Support Caseworker budgeted but not hired in 2010. An additional 1.85 FTE have also been budgeted to accommodate staffing requirements at the proposed satellite office to be located in Fergus.

• The addition of prior year incentive funding to base administration funding has been incorporated into the budget.

• Administration costs include indirect costs as negotiated with the City.

Explanation of Significant Budget Items

The overall Social Services budget reflects a decrease in expenditures of approximately $2.3 million (3%) and a decrease in the municipal tax levy requirement of $792,000 for the City of Guelph (3%) and $2.3 million for the County of Wellington (29%) in comparison to last year’s budget. The main factors leading to these savings are:

1. The final instalment of the Ontario Disability Support Programme (ODSP) benefit upload; 2. The second instalment of the Ontario Works (OW) benefit upload; 3. Cost sharing adjustments arising from the 2010 arbitration decision; and 4. Additional revenue relating to Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities contract; child

care, and Ontario Works Incentive administration funding. Income and Employment Services • The final phase of the ODSP benefit cost upload in 2011 removes the municipal cost share for this

programme, resulting in cost savings of $3.75 million ($2.72 million to the City and $1.03 million to the County).

• The Ontario Works caseload increased 9% in 2010 over 2009 levels for the City and 14% for the same period for the County. Budget estimates for 2011 include the previously announced 1% rate increase as well as a 3% caseload increase over 2010 year‐end projected actuals.

• The Provincial upload of Ontario Works costs continues in 2011 with the municipal cost share decreasing to 18.8% from 19.4% in 2010. The estimated net savings in 2011 is $94,000 ($74,000 City and $20,000 County).

• The 2010 Income Services Administration budget included two new OW caseworker positions. Neither of these positions was filled in 2010. One of the positions has been removed in the 2011 budget, while the other remains in the budget. The need to fill the position in 2011 will be monitored over the course of the year.

• Income services administration costs also include indirect costs as negotiated with the City. These costs include recoveries for property, finance, human resources, information technology and the Clerk’s Office.

• Funding for agencies includes $82,000 for the Give Yourself Credit programme. The cost is apportioned 75% to the City and 25% to the County. In addition, the budget includes the County contribution ($24,300) to the United Way Poverty Task position.

• Reduced Citizenship and Immigration Canada contract funding: County staff have been informed of a reduction from $509,000 to $410,000, and this funding change has been incorporated into the budget. Costs have been adjusted to reflect the new funding level. Further details are provided in a separate staff report.

• Renovations to the existing OPP building in Fergus are proposed for 2011, in order to make the facility suitable for a satellite Social Services office. Some staff would be relocated from the Guelph offices, and additional clerical/receptionist positions are included in the budget. This creates a minor impact in 2011 as it is not expected that staff would be required until the fall.

• One‐time Enhanced Employment Services funding ends on March 31, 2011 ‐ this funding was used to temporarily cover existing staff positions.

• The extension of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities contract until March 31, 2012 has been reflected in the budget. Further details are provided in a separate staff report.

80

• A County employee is currently on secondment with the Ministry of Community and Social Services. Staffing changes show an increase of 1 FTE relating to this position, however no Municipal cost results.

• Overall, net municipal costs for Income and Employment Services in 2011 are projected to decrease by $2.8 million for the City and $1.0 million for the County.

UUser Fees and Charges User fees for 2011 were approved by Council in October 2010, and can be adjusted at any time through an amendment to the by‐law.

Explanation of Significant Budget Items Social Housing Expenditure: • Housing administration includes indirect costs as negotiated with the City. These costs include

recoveries for property, finance, human resources, information technology and the Clerk’s Office. • Staffing changes include the addition of one summer student and the annualization of one

Maintenance Coordinator position. The two year contract position for the Housing Repairs Coordinator ends in November of 2011 and is funded with 100% Provincial subsidy until that time.

• Budget figures for utilities include a 6% increase over prior year estimates, and property tax estimates have been decreased by 5% to adjust for lower than anticipated costs in 2010.

• Subsidies payable to non‐profit and co‐operative housing corporations have been adjusted to reflect the 2011 index figures released by the Province. It is expected that the subsidy cost will increase by approximately 0.5% over 2010 budget estimates.

• The cost sharing arrangement resulting from the arbitration ruling has been incorporated into the 2011 budget figures. This shift from the prior 75% City/ 25% County cost sharing arrangement results in net tax levy savings for the County of approximately $1.56 million, and a corresponding increase to the City.

• The overall net municipal cost for social housing is projected to be $14.6 million for the City and $2.8 million for the County.

Affordable Housing • A surplus of $31,300 is projected for the first full year of operations of Fergusson Place. This

surplus will be transferred to the County’s Housing Development Reserve Fund. • The County contribution to the Housing Development Reserve Fund has been increased by $50,000

in 2011 to $500,000, in keeping with previous 5 year plan projections. Capital Budget • The attached capital budget includes various improvements at County‐owned housing units. The

combined major and minor capital budget totals $2.25 million. • The County has received an increase of $158,000 to the 2011 Social Housing Renovation and

Retrofit Programme funding. This is 100% Provincial funding and staff are working to allocate the funding to the highest priority needs.

• Home Child Care Providers: Through our licensed home child care programme, providers are recruited throughout the County and the City to provide more flexible child care options, especially for those families preferring a home environment or working irregular hours.

• Special Needs Intake: Intake and screening using standardized developmental assessments to ensure consistent access to specialized support services for children with special needs who meet the criteria established under the Day Nurseries Act.

• Child Care Service Management: The provision of funding for the Wage Subsidy, Special Needs Resource Programmes and planning and overall management of the Child Care Services System.

• The County operates two licensed child care centres: Willowdale Child Care and Learning Centre and Mount Forest Child Care and Learning Centre. Both centres offer inclusive child care programming with specialized support to children identified with or at risk of developmental delays.

• As Consolidated Municipal Service Manager, the County delivers these services in a specific geographic area which includes both the County of Wellington and the City of Guelph. The net municipal cost is apportioned to the County and City based on the residence of the recipient for fee subsidy and special needs resourcing, and the location of the centre for wage subsidy.


• The budget includes provincial funding to replace the Best Start funding terminated by the Federal government.

• The budget reflects an additional $194,800 in 100% provincial funding as a result of the implementation of Full Day Kindergarten.

• Administration includes indirect costs as negotiated with the City. • The budget includes continued funding of $336,000 to be provided to agencies using 100%

municipal funding.

2011 Budget Explanation of Significant Budget Items

Child Care Services • The approved 2010 County Budget reflected the termination of Federal funding for child care

($635,000) as of March 31, 2010. Subsequent to budget approval, the Province announced that it would step in to replace this funding. This created a positive variance in 2010 and this funding is now reflected in the 2011 Child Care Budget.

• The implementation of Full Day Kindergarten has resulted in additional 100% provincial funding for stabilization of the child care system and for extended day programmes. This funding allows for an additional $194,800 in fee subsidy dollars.

• The budget includes continued funding for various child care agencies totaling $336,000. • Child care administration includes indirect costs as negotiated with the City. These costs include

recoveries for property, finance, human resources, information technology and the Clerk’s Office. • Net municipal costs for 2011 are projected at $2.55 million for the City and $614,000 for the

County. User Fees and Charges User fees for 2011 were approved by Council in October 2010, and can be adjusted at any time through an amendment to the by‐law.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW Programme: Wellington Terrace Department: Home for the Aged Governance: Information, Heritage and Seniors’ Committee

Programme description Wellington Terrace is a 176 bed long term care home located between Fergus and Elora, and is operated under the standards of care defined by the provincial Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. Our Mission Statement reads “Wellington Terrace is a long term care community creating the best quality of life through love, care and dignity.” By agreement, Wellington Terrace also acts as the Home for the Aged for the City of Guelph and the City is responsible for funding net costs based on the number of City resident days.

2011 Budget Highlights Staffing changes include the annualization of a full time Recreation Worker added in 2010 as well

as changes to nursing schedules and the associated nursing backfill hours in order to better reflect current staffing patterns.

A large portion of the Terrace pier diem increase from 2010 will be captured in 2011 as a result of the timing of the increase. The additional provincial grant will be used to fund the operating costs of the Terrace.

• Preferred accommodation revenue will remain the same in 2011 at the maximum occupancy level of 60% of the 176 beds at the Terrace

• Future capital projects include a new resident van for 2012 and a new storage building in 2011

Project Description

Explanation of Significant Budget items Operating Budget Revenues Provincial funding: The County receives an operating per diem which is currently set at $144.94 for 2011.

The provincial grant associated with the redevelopment of the Terrace in 2005/2006 is $10.35 per resident day which totals $665,000 annually for 20 years

The Terrace pier diem amount increased in 2011 as a result of a higher CMI (Case Mix Index). While some of the increase was captured in the 2010 budget, additional increases occurred after the budgeting process and are therefore reflected in 2011. The additional provincial grant will be used to fund the operating costs of the Terrace.

Resident co‐payment fees and preferred accommodation revenue is expected to be similar to 2010. A maximum of 60% of the 176 beds can be charged at the preferred rate and this level was reached in late 2008 ‐ it is expected to remain at this level throughout the 5 year forecast.

The contribution from the City of Guelph is set at $1,002,700 and reflects the current level of City residents at the Terrace.

Expenditures Staffing changes include the annualization of a full time Recreation Worker added in 2010 as well as changes

to nursing schedules and the associated nursing backfill hours in order to better reflect current staffing patterns.

Purchased services: the decrease can be attributed to lower costs associated with the heating and hydro for the Terrace facility as well as reduced snow removal costs.

The provision for capital replacement as a transfer to reserve continues in 2011, in order to provide funding for the replacement of major facility components at the Terrace and for the eventual replacement of the facility. The transfer amount has been increased to $250,000 in 2011.

Capital Budget In accordance with the Capital Budget and Long Term Financing Policy, capital works include those initiatives that have a long‐term benefit to the corporation and whose capital cost is at least $25,000. Future capital projects include a new resident van for 2012 and a new storage building in 2011 which is to be

funded from reserves. The County levy requirement for the Terrace is projected to be $4.26 million in 2011, an increase of $247,600 over 2010. User Fees and Charges The attached schedule sets out the user fees and charges currently in place. The Committee and County Council have the authority to adjust these rates at any time through an amendment to the by‐law.

Programme description The City of Guelph, through its Court Services Division, delivers Provincial Offences Act (POA)

administration on behalf of the County and its member municipalities.

Responsibility for POA administration was transferred to municipalities in 1998 The County shares in the net revenue from the operation, which is distributed between the City

and County based on the location of each offense.

The majority of fine revenue is generated from offences under the Highway Traffic Act


Net fine revenue to the County has been increased to $700,000 in 2011 based on levels experienced in 2010 and projections for 2011

The court operation moved into the renovated former City Hall in 2010 and the 2011. The City budget reflects the first full year of operation in the new facility. The 2011 County budget includes debt charges arising from the 2010 debenture issue for the County’s contribution to the project. Final project costs and funding requirements will be determined in early 2011.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW Programme: Public Health Department: Wellington‐Dufferin‐Guelph Health Unit Governance: Administration, Finance and Personnel Committee

Programme description Public Health services are delivered by the Wellington‐Dufferin‐Guelph Health Unit.

The Health Unit is funded in part by the Province of Ontario and the balance is funded by the City

of Guelph, the County of Dufferin and the County of Wellington in proportion to their population.

2011 Budget Highlights Provincial funding remains at 75% in 2011 It is estimated that the Health Unit’s budget for 2011 will increase by 17.8%

The 2011 Budget for the health unit is based on a provincial funding increase of 3% ‐ in order to

provide a contingency, the County budget assumes only a 1% increase in provincial funding

The Health unit will require new and larger facilities in both Guelph and Orangeville over the next three years. Assuming no additional provincial funding is forthcoming, the incremental County contribution for facilities is projected to be $195,000 in 2011; $293,000 in 2012; and $163,000 in 2013.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW Programme: Police Services Department: Wellington County O.P.P. Governance: Wellington County Police Services Board

Programme description Wellington County was the first municipality in Ontario to have a County‐wide policing contract with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), has the largest single contract location in the OPP, and is the second largest OPP detachment in the Province with 108.2 full time equivalent officers and 12.74 full time equivalent civilians. The County is entering the third year of a 5‐year contract with the OPP that began on January 1, 2009. Officers are based out of County‐owned facilities in Fergus, Palmerston and Rockwood, as well as a provincially‐owned facility in Mount Forest. The Traffic Management Unit is staffed by one sergeant and six constables, and promotes an enhanced level of road safety throughout the County. The detachment also includes a canine officer and a mounted unit. Governance of policing services is provided by the Wellington County Police Services Board which is comprised of the Warden, one County Councillor, one individual appointed by the County and two provincial appointees.

2011 Budget Highlights The 2011 policing contract estimate of $15,637,000 is up by 9.3% over 2010 Two new uniform positions are included in 2011 and in each year of the forecast. The budget also includes the cost of the Police Services Board; administration of parking tickets

and false alarms; police related revenues including reference checks, incident reports, false alarm fees and parking fines; costs of the mounted police division and canine unit; and the cost of County‐owned facilities

The new police facility in Centre Wellington is nearing completion. The facility will open in 2011. A new police facility in North Wellington is proposed – land acquisition and preliminary design

work would take place in 2011 with design completed and tenders called in 2012, and the facility completed in 2013.

Explanation of Significant Budget Items Revenue • Grants and Subsidies includes:

1. Community Policing Partnership ($30,000) 2. RIDE Programme ($25,000) 3. $210,000 from the Province’s “1000 Officers Programme”. The County receives funding of 50% of salary

costs for 6 officers, up to a maximum grant of $35,000 each. • Licenses, Permits and Rents: rent paid by the Ontario Realty Corporation for the Rockwood Operations

Centre • Fines and penalties (false alarms and parking tickets) have been adjusted slightly to reflect experience in

2010 and expected activity in 2011 Policing contract (shown under transfer payments): • The Province has submitted a policing contract cost estimate for 2011 of $15,755,602 (see attached). Staff

have incorporated the following adjustments to the provincial estimate: 1) A $350,000 reduction to reflect the fact that the contract estimate is based on all officers being at the

1st class officer rate, while experience indicates that a certain proportion of officers will be paid at lower rates.

2) A $200,000 reduction to reflect staff vacancies over the course of the year. 3) A $431,700 increase to salaries to reflect the expected re‐negotiation of 2011 salary and benefits for

uniform and civilian members of the OPPA. The 2011 estimate provided by the Province is based on the recent MOU between the Province and the OPPA. Significant revisions to the MOU are expected to be approved in the near future.

• It is proposed that the 2011 O.P.P. contract budget be set at $15,637,000 which represents a 9.3% increase over the budgeted figure in 2011. This includes two new uniform positions in 2011.

Other Expenditure Items • Debt charges relate to the long term financing of the Centre Wellington and Rockwood Operations Centres

and are partially offset by the lease payment from the Ontario Realty Corporation relating to Rockwood and a recovery from development charges for the growth related component of debt charges.

• Transfers to capital: increase is to provide funding for the New Centre Wellington Operations Centre as well as funding for the new North Wellington Operations Centre (see below)

• Transfers to reserves: increase to provide for future funding of the new North Wellington Operations Centre

131

Capital Budget • The 5 year capital plan includes equipment and vehicle radios for new officers – a portion of these costs is

funded from development charges

• The capital forecast includes the remaining funding for the new Centre Wellington Operations Centre. Funding for the project includes $1,750,000 from the tax levy and an additional $833,000 in debenture financing. These figures are based on the contract awarded by County Council in 2010. The project is expected to be completed in April of 2011.

• The capital forecast also includes funding for a new Operations Centre in the northern part of the County. This would replace the existing Palmerston Operations Centre. Construction costs are estimated at $7.5 million, using recent experience at Aboyne as a guide. Should the Board and Council proceed with this project, site selection and possibly land acquisition would be the first steps, and accordingly $500,000 has been allocated in 2011. Design and construction would follow, with budget allocations of $3.0 million in 2012 and $4.0 million in 2013. The design process would provide further guidance as to the amount required for construction and this would be reflected in future five year plan updates. The project funding currently includes $3.5 million from the tax levy as well as long term financing of $750,000 in 2012 and $1.25 million in 2013. The remaining $2.0 million in funding is proposed to be provided from reserves. A levy‐funded reserve transfer of $700,000 is proposed in each of 2011, 2012 and 2013 in order to provide this funding. Staff will also investigate the extent to which development charge funding could be used to offset some of the growth related capital costs associated with this project.

User Fees and Charges The attached schedule sets out the user fees and charges currently in place, and upon which the 2011 revenue budgets are based. The Board and County Council have the authority to adjust user fees through an amendment to the by‐law at any time.
