BACKGROUND

 

The Municipal Act requires that City Council approve the annual budgets and tax rates for all Business Improvement Areas  (BIA’s) and Mall Authorities.

 

The levy requirements submitted in Document 1 are projections based on each BIA’s planned expenditures for 2008.

 

This submission and the corresponding by-laws constitute the approval required for the 2008 BIA Budgets and Tax Rates.  There are a maximum of 13 property classes that would be subject to a BIA levy in the City of Ottawa.  A rate has been assigned to each property class even if there are currently no properties assessed in the class in order to ensure that if assessment moves into these classes, either through an appeal or on a supplementary roll, a rate of taxation will exist.  The 2008 BIA levy requirements have been computed with reference to the 2008 assessment roll, the 2008 BIA budgets, the audited 2006 surplus and the 2007 year end disposition for each BIA.

 

As part of the Rideau Street Redevelopment Project, on October 30, 1992, the Ontario Municipal Board imposed a cap of the Downtown Rideau BIA’s levy.  The cap is equal to the 1992 base levy of $490,566 plus an annual increase not to exceed the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Ottawa-Carleton as published by Statistics Canada.  This restriction was passed to limit the tax burden on property owners.  Downtown Rideau BIA has requested a levy of $675,000 for the 2008 year. This does not exceed the cap. 

 

The operations of the Sparks Street Mall Authority are funded by way of special metre-frontage charge imposed on properties fronting on a special area of the mall. The area is defined and individual properties are listed with their frontage and charge in the attached by-law.

 

BIA levies are charged to owners who may apportion it back to their tenants based on a formula prescribed by legislation.

 

The Somerset Street Chinatown BIA board of Management has requested and received financial responsibility effective October 4, 2005.   In addition on June 27, 2007 Council approved a report for the construction of the Somerset Street Chinatown BIA Gateway Project.  In approving the report, the City has been issuing charitable receipts for donations received.  As of December 31, 2007 through the Gateway Project, the City received $31,860 in contributions toward this project.

 

Both Carp and Somerset Village BIA’s are inactive.  At the time of writing this report, no board-approved budgets have been received.  The Carp BIA rate requirement and budget has been calculated to reflect debt payment and mandatory expenses.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Public Works and Government Services Canada P.W.G.S.C. have paid the BIA levy as a payment in lieu of taxes pursuant to or in accordance with the Payments In Lieu of Taxes (PIL) Act in prior years and will continue to review these payments on a yearly basis.  

 

Rates have been calculated using the assumption that PIL’s will be paid at the rate equivalent to the BIA levy.  The only exception being, By Ward BIA which has chosen not to budget for PIL revenue for the following properties U.S. Embassy, National Art Gallery, Royal Canadian Mint, War Museum and Connaught Building. 

 

Pursuant to section 27 of the Assessment Act, the City of Ottawa has authority to charge PIL’s on City owned parking lots.

 

In accordance with subsection 208(3) of the Municipal Act, the Barrhaven Board of Management has approved a minimum rate of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) per property and a maximum rate of two thousand dollars ($2,000) per tenant.

Since last Council approval of BIA budgets, two BIA’s have expanded their boundaries and an additional two BIA’s have been created, as follows:

 

 

·        Westboro BIA expansion was completed in accordance with all applicable sections of the Municipal Act.  As part of this process Westboro BIA has entered into agreements with various owners to limit or exclude their properties or certain classes from the BIA levy, tax rates adjusted accordingly.  Westboro BIA has set an expansion budget of $350,000.

 

·        On January 23, 2008, Council enacted By-law No. 2008-40, to designate Wellington West BIA.  Board approved budgets have been received, and are included with this report. 

 

·        The formation of the Glebe BIA is in progress and the final objection period has passed.  The interim board of the Glebe BIA has submitted a pro-rated budget.  If capping of rates, or agreements are entered with various owners to limit or exclude their properties or certain classes from the BIA levy, rates will be adjusted accordingly.

 

The by-laws for these charges will be added on the Council agenda of April 23rd, 2008 in order to meet the tax billing timelines.

 

As rates and budgets are subject to minor changes, subsequent adjustments to the tax rates may occur.

 

 

CONSULTATION

 

All Executive Director’s of the BIA’s are aware of the contents of this report.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The submission of BIA budgets, BIA and Mall Authority levy requirements and tax rates has no financial impact on the City.  The BIA’s are funded through a levy on all ratable property in the area that is in a prescribed business property class.  The Mall Authority is funded through a levy-based on meter-frontage on Sparks Street Mall.  The City collects these special levies on behalf of these outside agencies. 

 

Pursuant to subsection 205 (3) of the Municipal Act, a BIA shall not incur any indebtedness extending beyond the current year, any deficit positions shown on Document 1 are funded through an increase in BIA tax rates or contribution from previous years’ surplus and/or reserve fund.  For 2007, Westboro BIA’s deficit is funded through additional taxation, while Rideau BIA’s will be funded by a one-time contribution from their reserve fund. As of December 31, 2007, their reserve fund balance is $249,682.

BUDGETS ET PRÉLÈVEMENTS SPÉCIAUX DE 2008 POUR LES ZONES D’AMÉLIORATION COMMERCIALE ET L’ADMINISTRATION DU MAIL DE LA RUE SPARKS

ACS2008-CMR-FIN-0013                                city-wide / À l’Échelle de la ville

 

In response to questions from Councillor Desroches, Ms. M. Simulik, City Treasurer, indicated the City’s policy was to allow BIAs to carry budget surpluses because these related to their need to accumulate pots of money for major capital works as opposed to debt financing or having large fluctuations in their rates to pay for capital projects.  With respect to the impact of new legislation, she confirmed that BIAs would be required to adopt various policies with respect to their operations and that City staff had been working with them to develop these policies, which would be in place before the end of the year.

 

Following these exchanges, Committee voted on the report recommendations.
