2022 Operating and Capital Budgets
Options:
Meeting: Committee of the Whole
Meeting Date: 24 Jan 2022
CAO'S COMMENTS:

This report provides Council with some initial insight into the 2022 operating budget
which has been impacted by inflationary costs and pandemic related impacts to revenues.

DEFINE THE TOPIC:

Administration faced several challenges for the 2022 operating budget:
Š The City drew $586 thousand from the operating contingency reserve to balance the

2021 operating budget;

Š Additional staffing ($393 thousand);

Š Salary and wage grid increases ($444 thousand);

Š Significant lower return on investments ($535 thousand), and;

Š "Own Source Revenue" has not fully recovered from the pandemic ($637 thousand).

In spite of these challenges, Administration has balanced the 2022 operating budget by
applying 5% or $1,295,034 from Peace River Agreement (PRA) revenue. It has also been
helpful that property assessment values have increased which has allowed the City to keep
the tax mill rate relatively flat, resulting in tax revenue increasing by $1,732,165. Based
on an average residential property of $323,796 the additional tax revenue generated would
be almost $103 per property.

Attached are variance analyses at a summary level and at a detailed level of the operating
budget. For further reference, 2019 actual results are included to show the most recent
pre
pre--pandemic year against the proposed 2022 budget. There remain additional, significant
unfavourable expense variances compared to prepre--pandemic 2019 actual results such as
RCMP costs ($1.7 million); Transit costs ($393 thousand) and insurance costs ($140
thousand).

Looking to the Future beyond 2022:

The City will have to continue to annually transfer 5% of PRA money to substantially offset
operating costs plus continue to discount staffing by 5.0% for vacancies. Using PRA funds is
justifiable due to the fact that we have had significant increases in capital infrastructure
over the past 10 years and this has created significant staffing and
operating/maintenance pressures. The new, much larger RCMP building will be fully
operational in 2023 and this alone will require more staffing and contracting services. The
eventual recovery of "Own Source Revenue" postpost--pandemic, whenever that may be, will
eventually reduce the budgetary pressures by another $637 thousand. Escalating RCMP
costs will put further pressure on the operating budget.

Holding the line on the expenses the City can control will be required for a number of
years, combined with anticipated increases in assessment values. If assessment values do
not increase from year to year, Council could also direct Administration to increase tax
revenue by a moderate 1%1%--2.50% for each of those future years to at least match inflation.
Council could also direct Administration to increase the current PRA contribution from 5%
to up to 10% but in doing so, the same level of contribution would have to occur year after
year until we can be in a position to reduce that level of reliance.

2022 Capital Project Listing

The total value of capital projects for 2022 is $72,954,838 fully financed by Peace River
Agreement and other grant revenue, capital reserves, water and sewer reserves and
borrowing (LAS projects). While most of the projects are to maintain or replace current
assets there are a few that could be considered as "community growth" projects such as the
100th Street Rebuild; the new RCMP detachment; the Trails Development for Toboggan
Hill, and; the Kin Park and Surerus Park Upgrades.

Over the next 5 years $175,402,895 is forecast to be spent on the Capital program.

KEY INFORMATION:

RELEVANT OBSERVATIONS:
It should be noted that in 2019, the City experienced a deficit of $360 thousand and that in
2020 there was a small surplus of $150 thousand. This highlights the fact that there is
really no fat in the City's operating budget. The results for 2021 will not be known until
April 2022 but may possibly show a modest operating surplus.

Even though most municipalities are experiencing significant increases in property

assessment values, many of these local governments are increasing their tax rates. Fort
St. John Administration is actually proposing to keep our tax rate flat while assessment
values have increased by 6.67%.

COMPLIANCE WITH STRATEGIC GOALS:

Goal No. 3 - Build and manage civic assets and human resources that support the
current and future needs of the community.

COMPLIANCE WITH STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:

ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
1. With many other municipalities increasing their tax rate, would Council want to
have a modest tax rate increase of 1%
1%--2% and less reliance on PRA revenue?
2. If Council wants to reduce the tax revenue increase will it prefer to increase the
transfer of Peace River Agreement revenue to offset operating budget challenges?
3. What level of PRA contribution is recommended for the future, 2022 to 2026?
4. Is the intention to use PRA revenue on an annual basis and is there a willingness to
slowly reduce the City's reliance on PRA revenue for operational purposes in future
years?

DETERMINED DESIRED OUTCOMES (If the essential question is answered)

KEY RESULT: To balance the operating budget.
