REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That City Council receive and table the Committee of Adjustment Draft 2010 Operating Budget, for subsequent consideration by Council in Committee of the Whole to be held January 25 to 29, 2010, as required.

 

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Conseil reçoive et dépose l’avant-projet du budget de fonctionnement 2010 du Comité de dérogation aux fins d’examen ultérieur par le Conseil qui siégera à titre de Comité plénier du 25 au 29 janvier 2010, le cas échéant.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

On June 10, 2009, City Council approved a new budget process whereby each standing committee would receive the draft operating and capital estimates for areas within that Committee’s Terms of Reference.  Each standing committee would also review and challenge the capital projects being proposed for each service area.  As a result all Boards and Agencies would see their budgets be presented to Council, with the tabling of the Corporate Budget.

 

The June 10 report indicated that there was no new budget directions document this year.  Staff were to develop the budgets, for Committee and Council consideration, by taking into account the existing Fiscal Framework and term of Council priorities. 

 

That report also noted that any budget adjustments and/or budget options identified by staff during their budget preparation process would be provided as information to standing committees, for purposes of the Committees’ consideration and prioritization.

DISCUSSION

 

The Committee of Adjustment Operating Budget estimates have been prepared based on a review of the 2009 results to date. The following operating templates explain the types of budget changes for 2010.

 

The Committee of Adjustment was established to process, in accordance with the legislative requirements of the Planning Act, all applications received for Consents to Conveyances, Mortgages etc., Applications for Validation of Title, Applications for Power of Sale/Foreclosure and Applications for Minor Variances/Permissions from the City’s Comprehensive Zoning By-laws.

 

As per Council direction, there was no pre-determined tax increase target/guideline used in developing these estimates.  The Committee of Adjustment Budget meets Council’s directive to be 100% cost recovery based on a projected number of applications.
