Re. Resolutions of Support for two NDIT Grant Applications " CA0 '
r B:SM . 1' WeCFO Firelliylaw Other:
Dear Mayor Bertrand and Councillors,
The Tumbler Ridge Mountain BikeAssociation(TRMBA)is applying to Northern Initiative Development
Trust for two grant opportunities in 2019. The Community and Recreation Facilities grant as well as the
Marketing initiatives grant.
The Community and Recreation Facilities grant will be an application for $30,000 for 50% of our Pump
Track Project. TRMBA has already secured the other 50% of funding from the Tumbler Ridge Community
Forest. This project will bring a free, inclusive, family child and youth friendly recreation opportunity to
Tumbler Ridge. If asked to prioritize grant applications, this application will be our primary.
The Marketing Initiatives Grant will be an application for $5,000 for the development of a website for
the Tumbler Ridge Mountain BikeAssociation. Having a website will help the TRMBA and in turn the
District ofTumb|er Ridge, the Regional District and the Geopark in marketing Tumbler Ridge's recreation
opportunities.
We are requesting two resolutions of support, one for each project, to accompany our grant
applications to Northern Development Initiative Trust. Having the resolution of support is a requirement
ofthegrant application and will help us secure funding for these two projects. The deadline for the
grant applications and for having these resolutions of support to accompany our application is February
8”‘,2019, if Council is willing to provide them for our Association.
Thank you f ourtime and consideration,

STAFF REPORT
Date: January 28, 2019 To: Jordan Wall, Chief Administrative Officer Re: Fleet Replacement Policy
RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council adopts District of Tumbler Ridge Policy PW-14 entitled Fleet Replacement Policy as presented; Further, THAT Council approve the transfer of $ 383,051 from unallocated reserves to the Equipment Replacement Fund/Reserve to bring our Equipment Reserve at the level of our Total Accumulated Depreciation cost. ALTERNATIVE(S) TO THE RECOMMENDATION: That Council opt not to support the Fleet Replacement Policy as presented ISSUE/PURPOSE: To propose a policy to guide the District towards an effective Fleet Replacement Plan as part of the Asset Management Plan. BACKGROUND: In the past, the District of Tumbler Ridge never had a comprehensive fleet replacement plan. It is important that the District has the confidence that service delivery will not be interrupted unnecessarily by equipment failures. To have a replacement plan and schedule is a well-established business best practice that will have significant benefits in regards to having a recommended long term replacement schedule, estimated replacement costs and a longer term financial plan that will assist Council with their Strategic and Financial Planning. Further, the process on funding the replacement of a vehicle within the policy has never been set in stone and this is the reason why staff was directed to develop a plan. Currently, the District is already maintaining an Equipment Replacement Fund/Reserve. In view of this, the staff was instructed to do an an analysis on all the District-owned vehicles and their relative depreciation based on original cost of the unit and their estimated useful life. Please see the attached 2018 Fleet Replacement Schedule.The table below shows a summary of the depreciation costs incurred and the reserve amount in place. TOTAL Annual Depreciation Cost $ 233,091 TOTAL Accumulated Depreciation 2,061,033 Equipment Replacement Fund/Reserve 1,677,982 Transfer to Reserve $ 383,051 Based on the above, it indicates that our TOTAL Accumulated Equipment Depreciation cost exceeds our Equipment Reserve by $ 383,051. It is important that we replenish our Equipment Reserve by this amount so as to facilitate an efficient replacement of our equipment should they start to fail and in so doing, prevent the unnecessary interruption of our operation. Further, it is also important to transfer the amount of the TOTAL Annual Equipment Depreciation cost on a yearly basis to maintain the Equipment Replacement Reserve at its level.
AGENDA ITEM #8.1
Page 24 of 46
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In compliance to PW 8 - Fleet Operations Policy - all fleet vehicles and equipment are required to be in safe operating condition at all times. FINANCIAL/BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: If approved, the District of Tumbler Ridge will be transferring to the Equipment Reserve Fund the amount of $ 383,051 to keep in level with the Total Accumulated Depreciation cost. Further, that an amount equal to the total cost of yearly depreciation of all the vehicles owned by the District will be transferred as well on a yearly basis to maintain its level. This will in turn gradually accumulate to become available when a vehicle must be replaced. In addition, if this policy gets approved, all vehicle replacement will not be automatically purchased. It will still go through the normal process of Capital Request and approval during budget deliberation. STRATEGIC PRIORITIES: N/A GOVERNANCE CONSIDERATIONS: The goal of this policy is ensure that as equipment is used, on a year to year basis, the funds to replace them are saved. There will be instances where vehicles outlive their expected lifespans. This policy will not result in the replacement of equipment early simply because it has depreciated as can be seen in the policy. This will, however, help ensure adequate funds available for fleet replacement without the need for large tax spikes when equipment needs to be replaced.

AGENDA ITEM #8.1

DISTRICT OF TUMBLER RIDGE
Policy Name: Fleet Replacement Policy PW - 14
Date Adopted: xx-xx-xxxx Motion No. xxxx-xx-xx Purpose: The intention of this document is to guide the District towards an effective Fleet Replacement Plan as part of the Asset Management Plan. Scope: This policy applies to all of the vehicles owned by the District of Tumbler Ridge and any other vehicles falling within the reporting entity of the District. Guiding Principles:
• The Director of Operations and Infrastructure is responsible for the safe, reliable and efficient delivery of services as mandated from Council. This responsibility also includes the management of the District Fleet and includes recommendations for replacement.
• Fleet replacement is based on multiple factors such as depreciation, replacement cycles (kilometers, hours and age), maintenance costs, safety considerations, reliability, service requirements accounting information on how to approach and replacement costs.
• Previous to this document, there has not been a comprehensive fleet replacement plan for the District, it is important that the District has the confidence that service delivery will not be interrupted unnecessarily by equipment failures.
• The factors that determine replacement differ for vehicle class, level of service, annual kilometers, age, hours and maintenance schedules which all have an effect on repair costs, equipment down times, service disruptions, employee and public safety and environmental considerations.
• To have a replacement plan and schedule is a well-established business best practice that will have significant benefits in regards to having a recommended long term replacement schedule, estimated replacement costs and a longer term financial plan that will assist Council with their Strategic and Financial Planning.
• Public Works is responsible for preventative maintenance of all fleet equipment. Maintenance schedules are determined by manufacturers recommended intervals and service use. The Preventative Maintenance Program is required to maximize the life expectancy and ensure reliability. Preventative maintenance is only one of the factors in the decision to replace equipment and provide an indicator with the increasing costs.
AGENDA ITEM #8.1
Page 26 of 46
Policy Statements:
1. A formal vehicle replacement policy is a necessary tool for the Director of Operations to control funding and replacement cycles for vehicles and equipment. In order to support this and the guiding principles mentioned above, two essential factors are necessary and should always be in place, namely: 5-Year Fleet Replacement Plan/Schedule Equipment Replacement Fund/Reserve
2. 5 Year Fleet Replacement Plan Schedule: The Director of Operations will manage and update this
schedule on a year to year basis during budget time, considering all safety factors as enumerated in the above guiding principles. Life cycle of the vehicle should be determined along with its replacement cycles. New vehicle acquisition will be handled by adhering to pre-established cycles and guidelines.
3. Equipment Replacement Fund/Reserve: This is a type of replacement policy and is considered a
forward-funded concept. Funds are gradually accumulated to become available when a vehicle or a piece of equipment must be replaced. The following steps will guide the process of establishing the Equipment Replacement Fund/Reserve:
• Historical cost plus all charges directly related to the purchase of the vehicles will be recorded.
• These amounts will then be amortized over the vehicle’s determined useful life. This is referred to as depreciation value.
• At the start of the year, the total estimated depreciation amounts for all the District owned vehicles will then be transferred to the Equipment Replacement Fund/Reserve. As has been stated, this is a forward funding replacement cost for the purchase of a new vehicle.
4. Replacing Vehicle within the Policy: Financing a vehicle within the policy will be treated
accordingly, as follows: • Fully Depreciated Vehicle - total purchase amount, will be transferred from the
Equipment Replacement Fund/Reserve instead of new money going in to the budget line. • Partially Depreciated Vehicle - includes vehicles that have become unreliable due to
frequent downtimes and incurring major & costly repairs. Partial amount (partial accumulated depreciation) will be transferred from the Equipment Replacement Fund/Reserve, the remaining fund a new fiscal expense going in to the budget line.

AGENDA ITEM #8.1

DISTRICT OF TUMBLER RIDGE
STAFF REPORT
Date: January 28, 2019 To: Mayor and Council Re: Capital and Special Projects Budget
RECOMMENDATION: 1) THAT Council approves the Capital and Special projects contained in Schedule A 2) THAT Council approves the Capital and Special projects contained in Schedule B 3) THAT Council approves the Capital and Special projects contained in Schedule C 4) THAT Council approves the Capital and Special projects contained in Schedule D ALTERNATIVE(S) TO THE RECOMMENDATION: Council is able to defeat schedules as a whole or make motions to remove specific projects from a schedule. The following motion would be made in this case "THAT XXX is removed from Capital and Special Projects (ABCD)" ISSUE/PURPOSE: To present to Council the capital and special project requests contained in the 2019-2023 Financial Plan BACKGROUND: The District budgeting process works in three stages with the first being Capital and Special project considerations, second operational and Grant-In-Aid and Fee for Service, and the final stage of setting the tax rates. This meeting represents the first stage of the Financial Plan construction. The projects contained in this budget represent Administration's plan for either continuing service levels in the community, improving upon them, or achieving strategic goals as presented by Council. This year's amount represents a decrease in request amounts from previous years. With 2017 seeing a Capital request of $9,500,000, 2018 seeing 5,813,000 and the total of 2019 being $5,183,000. The amount of funding this year is however largely offset by a number of factors that include grants obtained, carry over from 2018, or transfers from allocated reserve funds. This amount of 3,080,000 means that the total Capital and Special project amount that is not funded, and thus must either come from tax revenue or transfers from unallocated reserves is 2,103,000. The largest project in this year's budget is funds allocated for PRIS to construct a high speed fiber internet project to residential and business properties in Tumbler Ridge which could see internet speed in Tumbler Ridge increase by 10x. This project is expected to be funded 50% through grants and the remaining monies initially paid by the District of Tumbler Ridge the be paid back by PRIS over time from the service contracts with residents in the community. It is likely that this project, at the end of its life time, will cost the District little to nothing. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Some projects in the "Carry Over" section need to be approved or the District could face lawsuits for failure to pay for works and contracts completed.
AGENDA ITEM #8.2
Page 30 of 46
GOVERNANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Approval in this meeting will not give staff approval for spending on the project until approved at a later date. Any projects with funds allocated in years subsequent to 2019 will need approval in those year's budgeting processing. These are meant to be placeholders to build out future large expenditures expectations.

Southgate Sidewalk Extension
To install a sidewalk from Iles Way to Pioneer Loop on Southgate street. This has been in discussion and planning for a number of years most recently it was planned to be included during a land sale. Although the sale hasn't proceeded installation of the side walk can continue
There is a pedestrian risk with no safe walking spaces. With tourism continuing to grow there is no sidewalk connecting the pioneer loop to downtown. The newly paved roads will not be damaged by this process
110,000
Vactor Replacement
The current vactor is 20 years old and has greatly exceeded its life expectancy. The vehicle reserve fund has allocated for this replacement and no new funding is required
This machine is integral for the proper functioning of the District's sewer and water systems. It is not easily sourced from industry for rent and is required by local businesses and groups on a semi‐regular basis
500,000
Golf Course Equipment Rough
Mower
Replacement of the mower for the rough grass at the golf course. The equipment reserve has funds allocated for this replacement and no new funding is required
78,000
Golf Course Fairway Mower
Replacement of the mower for the fairway grass at the golf course. The equipment reserve has funds allocated for this replacement and no new funding is required
62,000
PRV Telemetry Monitoring
Currently our PRVs are manually monitored. This causes increased staff time and issues with the PRVs can't be monitored remotely. This project will allow the PRVs to monitored 24/7 rather than only when manually inspected
Currently each entry to check the PRVs requires a confined space entry procedure
30,000
Storm Water Drainage Upgrades
In 2018 the District completed a storm water drainage assessment. A number of steps were recommended to clear up clogged or otherwise poorly functioning aspects of the storm system
It is likely that in its current state our storm drainage system could withstand a 25‐year flood event. This work would ensure the system could handle 100‐300 year event. In the event of a significant flood and expensive damage can be occurred to roads and other infrastructure

Log Installation
Council requested the inclusion of a log sign post near the Visitor Information Center included in the 2019 budget. This would place a fir tree along with artist direction signage
20,000
Downtown Assessment Report
Some of the sidewalks, public spaces, and gathering areas in the downtown core have begun to fail. This is a complicated issue due to the joint ownership between the District and private businesses of the infrastructure. A plan needs to be developed for upgrades and replacement
There are many cracks allowing for further water and weather damage. The problems will continue to grow if left unchecked

Public Works Building
Envelope
A recent energy assessment required by the
Provincial Government determined the Public Works
building to be the least energy efficient building in
use by the District. This project will install 4"
insulated panels to all exterior walls with new
flashing, install new bay doors, and insulate exterior
doors. The insulation in the building is no longer
effective as it has settled and the top 6 ft. are no
longer insulated.
The current insulation has asbestos in
it. It is much preferred to add
insulation to the exterior in order to
avoid working and disturbing the
asbestos on the interior. This process
will avoid us having to develop a very
costly asbestos mitigation plan
10,000 600,000
Town Hall Building
Envelope
A engineering firm has presented the engineered
options for Council for work on the exterior of the
building. This project is now ready to move on to its
next phase. A tender must be created through a
project management firm. Based on the design
material chosen by Council it may take up to 6
months from time of order to receive so the bulk of
this work will not take place until 2019. t
Town Hall is starting to suffer failures
in its roof, cracking stucco which
exposes more damage, support posts
are beginning to rot. The costs for
these project were approved in 2015
and a report on preliminary findings as
well as Council input will be sought in
the near future
40,000 1,900,000
Fire Hall Roof Exterior
and Insulation
In 2015 repairs were done to the roof. In 2017 we
plan to add insulation panels to the building which
will bring the building up to code standards. This will
also add insulation to newly repaired roof and
complete a building envelope
During the DTR energy efficiency study
it was noted this building is losing
energy. The current insulation has
settled leaving the top 6 feet
uninsulated
