In order to achieve a 2.5% approved budget increase from rates, Council made the following adjustments to the
budgets for Civic Service Areas, Boards and Commissions:
In additional to the decisions above, Council made the following non-tax levy from rate adjustments to the budgets
for Civic Service Areas, Boards and Commissions:
$1.3 million capital budget to initiate plan development for a “flexible street” concept for Dundas Street from
Wellington to the river;
$5.4 million reduction to the 2015 capital budget for industrial land servicing, but added back in 2019 to
2021, reflecting Council’s earlier decision to defer contributions to the Economic Development reserve fund,
noting that overall funding for the Industrial Land Development Strategy is maintained, just stretched from
five years to eight;
$150 thousand was removed from the capital budget in 2015 plus additional planned funding for 2016 to
2018, for the medical devices initiative that is no longer required because of the grant to the London Medical
Innovation and Commercialization Network in 2014;

USER FEES
Note: Reflects user fees approved by Council with the exception of the London Police Service as a result of shared financial reporting
system. User fees set by Boards and Commissions follow the structure that those areas have in place with respect to their user fee
approval process.
User fees are charges imposed by the municipality to provide specific services to its citizens. This revenue source is intended to recover all or part of the costs associated with providing the service. The City of London anticipates raising $804.1 million in revenue for the 2015 Property Tax Supported Budget to support operations. User fees account for $43.6 million of the $804.1 million total operating revenue or 6 cents of every municipal revenue dollar collected. Parks, Recreation & Neighbourhood Services is the greatest contributor to user fee revenue for the City of London. In 2015, $16.1 million of the total $43.6 million budgeted user fee revenue from civic service areas is anticipated from Parks, Recreation & Neighbourhood Services. This area charges a variety of user fees in service areas such as aquatics, arenas, community recreation and leisure programming, community centres, golf courses, sports services, senior centres and Storybook Gardens. The bar chart highlights some of the significant components of budgeted user fee revenue for civic services within the City of London.

CAPITAL BUDGET OVERVIEW: 2015 CAPITAL & 2016-2024 CAPITAL PLAN
The capital section of the budget includes a 2015 approved budget plus a forecast for the next nine years (2016-
2024). Together, these make the ten year capital plan. A long term capital plan is a useful tool to help Council
ensure objectives are met, help guide community expectations and provide a good planning tool for growth and
financial planning. Within the capital budget and plan, there are three classifications for capital projects:
lifecycle renewal, growth and service improvement.
The City’s ten year capital plan is almost $1.8 Billion. It includes projects such as:
As demonstrated in the chart on the next page, municipalities have increased their ownership and management
of public infrastructure significantly since 1961. This is a combination of the transfer of assets from the
provincial and federal governments and increased demand for municipal services. However, municipalities
receive by far the smallest share (only 9%) of total tax revenues compared to federal and provincial bodies.

CAPITAL BUDGET BY CLASSIFICATION
Capital projects are classified based on
their purpose and funding source. 41% of
the 10 year capital plan is for Lifecycle
Renewal projects because maintaining
current assets is a high priority. 48% of
the plan is allocated to Growth projects
included in the Council approved 2014 DC
By-law. The remaining 11% of the capital
plan is earmarked for Service
Improvement projects to improve service
or address an emerging need. Spending
on Growth and Service Improvement
fluctuates from year to year due to the
nature of the projects. The sections
below discuss each classification in more
detail.

of total revenues, yet are
responsible for over 50% of the
infrastructure

Page 13
Lifecycle Renewal projects maintain the infrastructure that is in place today (e.g. projects that resurface roads,
replace roofs, and replace equipment). This is a high priority component of the capital budget. The goal is to
keep systems and facilities in good repair, and planned regular maintenance is cheaper in the long run than
sporadic emergency work.
In 2014, the City published a Corporate Asset Management Plan. The Plan focused on what is needed to
achieve established levels of service (LOS), plan lifecycle asset management, identify long-term asset investment
needs and cope with the growing infrastructure gap. The infrastructure gap was identified as $50.2 million for
property tax supported assets and projected to grow to $405.5 million by 2022. Lifecycle Renewal projects
address the infrastructure gap.
The Asset Management Plan called for a 1.77% annual tax rate increase over eight years to address
the infrastructure gap. There is nothing included in the base 2015 budget towards this goal other
than the consideration for a 0.5% tax levy increase ($2.5 million) contained in the additional
investment business case #1.
Financing Strategy for Lifecycle Renewal Capital Budget
The Corporate Strategic Financial Plan, endorsed by Council, guides the funding mix for each capital
budget classification. The plan calls for Lifecycle Renewal projects to be funded by capital levy and
reserve funds, with a reduced reliance on debt. This is referred to as “pay-as-you-go” funding. Debt is
not an appropriate funding source for the renewal of current assets. The chart below shows debt
financing for Lifecycle Renewal decreasing significantly since 2006. Debt is forecasted to be 0% by 2021.

The estimated replacement value of city owned assets
supported by the property tax capital budget is $4.2 Billion.
Page 14
The benefits of moving to pay-as-you-go financing include:
1) Reduces cost to the taxpayer in the long run for renewing and maintaining infrastructure.
2) Creates intergenerational equity – those who benefit from the asset pay for the asset
3) Creates debt capacity for increased investment in growth and new initiative projects that benefit
future taxpayers.
Growth projects are planned to extend services into newly developed areas of the City (e.g. a road widening to
handle additional traffic from new subdivisions). Growth projects are not always immediately imperative, but in
the long run the City has a responsibility to provide adequate services to newly developed areas.

The ten year growth plan increased considerably from the 2014 budget as a result of Council approving the 2014
Development Charges (DC) By-law. Many new growth projects were added to the plan through the
accompanying DC Study. The 2015-2024 growth plan includes an additional $343 million for the rapid transit
initiative, including road widenings and buses. Two-thirds of the funding for this initiative is planned to be
provided by senior governments. The ten year plan also includes $158 million for other road widenings that
were added through the 2014 DC Study.
Financing Strategy for Growth Capital Budget
The Strategic Financial Plan requires Growth projects be primarily supported by DC’s. DC’s are collected when
building permits are issued for new construction. Certain growth projects (e.g. rapid transit) also heavily depend
on senior government support. 13% of the current ten year plan for growth is tax supported, primarily debt.
Debt is appropriate for new assets with a long life. The tax supported portion is referred to as the “non-growth”
component which is defined within the DC Study for each growth project.
The growth budget will be controlled through the linkage to the annual Growth Management
Implementation Strategy (GMIS). GMIS is a process of annually reviewing growth projects
planned in the current Development Charges (DC) Study versus development charges revenue
received when building permits are acquired. Growth projects are deferred if DC revenue
cannot financially support the growth plan. GMIS is completed each year in advance of the
budget process so the results are reflected in the next year’s budget.
Service Improvement projects provide a new or improved level of service or address an emerging need (e.g.
purchasing property for industrial land). These projects are optional, but the case may be compelling.
Financing Strategy for Service Improvements Capital Budget
The Strategic Financial Plan for Service Improvement projects sees a mix of capital levy and reserve fund, as well
as debt and non-tax support, depending on the nature of each specific project. The ten year plan for service

improvement includes $45 million to support the Industrial Land Development Strategy (ILDS). Two-thirds of the
funding for servicing land for the ILDS is scheduled to be provided by senior governments.
The capital budget is funded by tax supported contributions (capital levy, reserve funds, debt) and non-tax
supported contributions (development charges revenue and senior government funding).
The Corporate Strategic Financial Plan calls for the lifecycle renewal budget to be financed completely by capital
levy and reserve funds. Debt is not an appropriate source of financing for renewal of existing assets. Both capital
levy and reserve fund contributions are scheduled to increase moderately each year to support this Financial
Plan. Currently, debt is essentially eliminated from the lifecycle renewal budget in 2021.
Debenture financing has remained stable in the 2015-2024 capital forecast. A $26.0 million cap on the average
total debt financing over the ten year plan remains in place and contributes to this stability.
Non-tax supported funding increased considerably in the 2015-2024 capital plan. The Rapid Transit initiative and
the Industrial Land Development Strategy combined added $388 million to the plan but included two-thirds
senior government funding support and considerable support from development charges.

2015 CAPITAL BUDGET WITH FORECASTS FOR 2016-2024
Page 19
RESERVES AND RESERVE FUNDS OVERVIEW
The importance of reserves and reserve funds within the framework of the City finances cannot be overlooked. Reserve funds support the needs of the budget, the ten year capital plan as well as other strategic initiatives. A reserve fund is an amount set aside for a specific purpose by authority of a by-law. The City created guiding principles to assist in establishing, prioritizing and rationalization of the balances within the reserves/reserve funds. These principles are linked to the Council approved strategic plan.
Guiding Principles Description of Principle Link to Strategic Plan
Liquidity
Funding must be kept at an adequate level to ensure that the City has sufficient cash flow to meet its financial obligations.
A Strong Economy
Intergenerational Equity
Those who use the asset will pay for the asset.
A Sustainable Infrastructure
Rationalization of City Owned Assets
Reserve funds must be funded to proper levels to ensure City owned assets do not deteriorate over time.
A Sustainable Infrastructure
The total balance of all City owned reserves and reserve funds at the end of 2015 is projected to be $267.7 million, as outlined in the chart below. Reserves and reserve funds are grouped into categories depending on their purpose.

Capital Asset Renewal and Replacement reserve funds support the maintenance of existing City assets. Drawdowns in 2015 support capital projects that renew facilities and replace vehicles and equipment.
Reserve funds in the Capital Asset Growth category support industrial land development and development charge incentive programs. The drawdowns for the incentive programs result from growth estimates contained in the 2014 DC By-law recently approved by Council and estimates based on an average residential growth in the Downtown and Old East Village areas over the past five years.
Specific Projects and New Initiatives reserve funds are primarily focused on community improvement and economic development.
A detailed overview of individual reserves and reserve funds is provided in Appendix E.

Reserve Fund Allocation
The figures below outline the contributions and projected drawdowns from each category in 2015. The City continues
to prioritize contributions and drawdowns on Capital Asset Renewal and Replacement, Specific Projects and New
Initiatives, and Capital Asset Growth.
I. Allocation of Projected Contributions in 2015 Budget
II. Allocation of Projected Drawdowns in 2015 Budget
As of December 31, 2013,
the City of London has
$158.5 Million in post-
retirement and closure
liabilities recognized on
its financial statements.
These liabilities are
supported by the reserves
in the Risk Management &
Long Term Planning
category.
The City issued a State of the
Infrastructure Report in 2013 for
all City-owned assets. The
current estimated replacement
value for property tax supported
assets is $4.2 Billion. These
assets are supported by the
reserve funds in the Capital Asset
Renewal and Replacement
category.
Reserve funds assist in allowing the City to meet its day to day cash needs as well
as financing capital projects until they are completed and the debt is issued.
Page 21
The Future - Funding Needs and Narrowing the Infrastructure Gap
In 2013, the City of London issued a State of the Infrastructure Report to identify the needs and prioritize spending
on capital assets based on a comprehensive risk based approach. The report identified a current infrastructure gap
of $50.2 million in property tax supported assets, growing to $405.5 million in ten years. Failing to address growing
infrastructure needs will result in increased risk of infrastructure failures that will negatively affect Londoners quality
of life through more frequent impacts like road closures, water alerts, unkempt parks, etc. The use of reserve funds
is one of the prudent strategies available to help mitigate growth of the infrastructure gap.
Reserve funds in the Capital Asset Renewal and Replacement category support the City’s existing infrastructure. As
seen in the previous figures, 42% of the City’s reserve fund contributions are being directed to this category in 2015.
The chart below outlines the
projected balances in this
category from 2014 to 2018.
Although the projected
balances are increasing over
the next five years, the total
balance of approximately $81
million is a small percentage
of the estimated replacement
value of $4.2 Billion on
property tax supported
assets. The reserve fund
balance by 2018 will
represent only 1.9 % of that
estimated replacement value.
The Transportation Services
program area has the biggest
infrastructure gap going forward, $271.6 million in ten years. This program area does not have dedicated reserve
funds. Administration is attempting to address the gap with increases in capital levy to demonstrate a willingness to
partner with senior levels of government for infrastructure funding.
The infrastructure gap for the Corporate, Operational and
Council Services program area is the second largest at $66.1
million in ten years. For this reason, large contributions to the
Capital Asset Renewal and Replacement Reserve funds are
necessary. Assets in this program area include administrative
buildings owned by the city, fleet vehicles used for city
operations and information technology.

Down from 2013
of $2,131
The City of London strives to achieve and sustain a healthy financial position and debt management is a key component. Debt financing is a mechanism for funding capital projects, along with capital levy and reserve funds. Generally, capital projects provide benefits to residents over a number of years and therefore it is appropriate to spread the cost over the benefit period to achieve “intergenerational equity.”
How does the City manage debt? 1. Limit the amount of debt authorized on an annual basis
Each year council approves the financing for the City’s Capital Plan; debt is part of this financing along with capital levy and reserve funds. As part of the City’s strategy to limit debt, the City introduced a Debt Cap Policy in 2003. For 2015, the City’s internal debt cap limit is an average of $26 million per year over a 10-year period for tax-supported initiatives.
Another way the City limits the amount of authorized debt is by increasing pay-as-you-go financing for
Lifecycle Renewal projects in lieu of debt financing. Reliance on debt financing for Lifecycle Renewal projects
has decreased from 35% in 2006 to 10% in 2015, and is
targeting 0% by 2021.
2. Reduce authorized debt
Consistent with Council policy, the City applies year-end surplus and 50% of unallocated assessment growth funding to reduce authorized debt. The City also reduces debt through its debt substitution program. Issued debentures are not callable; therefore, the City cannot reduce issued debt any sooner than the scheduled maturity date. Corporately in 2013, the City reduced $6.3 million of authorized debt and $5.6 million in 2014.
DEBT OVERVIEW
Total issued debt for 2014 is $337.5
million, as follows;
Amounts are subject to rounding.
Total authorized debt for 2014 is $236.2
million, as follows;
Authorized as reported for Q3; September 30, 2014. Amounts are subject to rounding.
Total potential debt (total issued + total authorized)
is $573.7 million.
Page 23
3. Manage the City’s debt servicing charges
Each year the City receives its “Annual Repayment Limit” or ARL, (under Ontario Regulation 403/02) from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The limit is based on data contained in the City’s Financial Information Return and it represents the maximum amount the municipality has available to commit to payments relating to debt and financial obligations. In general, debt payments are limited to 25% of a previous year’s “own-source” revenue.
Each year Moody’s Investors Service reviews the credit worthiness of the City of London and then assigns the City a credit rating for the year. Moody's Investors Service is a leading provider of credit ratings, research, and risk analysis. The firm's ratings and analysis track debt covering more than 130 countries, 11,000 corporate issuers, 21,000 public finance issuers, and 76,000 structured finance obligations. For 2014, the City of London received the highest possible rating, Aaa, for the 38th consecutive year.
As a Aaa rated municipality, the City of London debentures are considered to be of the highest quality with minimal credit risk making them appealing to institutional buyers and investors. This contributes to the City of London’s favourable cost of borrowing on long-term financing, which may be between 3 to 5 basis points in comparison to being rated Aa depending on market conditions. This translates to approximately $0.5 million of interest costs avoided on a 10-year borrowing program of $30 million.
Excerpt from Moody’s Investors Service Credit Analysis Report, November 6, 2014:
“When compared with other Canadian municipalities, London exhibits a lower debt burden, while the city’s liquidity, as measured by the level of net cash and investments relative to debt and revenue, is considered healthy and in line with national peers of a similar rating.”
“The City of London’s Aaa debt rating is supported by sizeable level of reserves and a prudent, conservative approach to fiscal planning.”
A municipality may issue debt for long-term borrowing to provide financing for capital works. The City issues debt on projects that are substantially complete. The City reviews project status reports on a quarterly basis to determine which projects that have debt financing are substantially complete. This analysis along with cash flow requirements, budget constraints and market conditions determine the amount of debt issued each year.
Total debt servicing costs for 2015 are
$62.1 million, as follows;
Amounts are subject to rounding.
Aaa for 38
years
Did you know…
London has been rated Aaa
for 38 consecutive years
The City’s 2015 annual debt repayment limit is $125 million, an amount that would
support approximately $986 million of debt.
In 2014, the City of London
issued $30,000,000 of
debentures in the capital
markets at an all-in-rate of
2.957% for a 10-year term.

Summary of Debt Process: From Authorization to Payments
Looking ahead The City has continued on the path of employing tighter controls for authorizing new debt and that is being reflected in a slight decline in total potential debt levels (i.e. issued and authorized) from 2014. The City expects that this trend will continue through 2019. Debt servicing costs (property tax supported) show a slight incline, which reflects an increase in the amount of debt issued and the rising interest rate environment that is expected in the next few years. Projected debt repayments are calculated over a 10-year term using interest rates starting from 4.3% in 2015, and rising to 5.7% by 2018. Interest rates are derived using forecasts published by the “Big Five Canadian Banks.” The graph below shows the Property Tax Supported debt levels and servicing costs from 2014 through to 2019.

2016 TO 2019 PROPERTY TAX SUPPORTED BUDGET FORECAST
The 2016 to 2019 Property Tax Supported budget forecast, as outlined in the chart below, anticipates an average property tax rate increase of 3.2%. These forecasts are based on the forecast information provided by Civic Service Areas, Boards and Commissions to maintain existing service levels without any significant adjustments to services or introduction of new services.
Note: The forecast for 2019 is a placeholder based on a reasonable cost estimate.
The forecast for most programs and services are to maintain existing service levels. Items classified as
additional investments are unfunded and will form part of the multi-year budget discussion next year;
Continued upload of Ontario Works to the Province that commenced in 2010 will be completed by 2018.
The municipal share will drop to 5.8% in 2016, 2.8% in 2017 and 0% in 2018;
Gradual reduced reliance from City reserves as a funding source contained in the budget. The objective is
to ensure that City reserves are not being depleted to fund ongoing operational costs contained in the
budget;
An annual increase of $2.2 million in capital levy (pay as you go) financing. This funding source will be
used to fund capital projects as outlined in the capital plan in lieu the debt financing, which is a more
costly form of capital financing;
An increase in the average annual debt servicing costs of $1.3 million, net of retired debt, for financing of
previously approved capital projects; and
The forecast is only reflective of the property tax increase from rates and excludes the impacts of
assessment growth costs due to an expanding City.
As with any financial planning process, new information may become available that may impact the financial
forecast and plan. While every effort is taken to ensure that all aspects are adequately covered, unforeseen items
will still come forward resulting from changing government legislation/regulation and economic events.

Centennial Hall Operating Highlights 2015 Budget Highlights
Centennial Hall approved budget increase of $5 thousand or 4.6%. Rising utility costs and increases in purchased services for contractual
obligations are partially offset by anticipated increases in user fee revenue based on current trends. To help mitigate budgetary
pressures Centennial Hall will continue to build relationships with dance groups and concert promoters, while trying to grow wedding
events.
Arts, Culture and Heritage Advisory & Funding Operating Highlights 2015 Budget Highlights
Arts, Culture and Heritage Advisory & Funding approved budget increase of $73 thousand or 3.4% primarily due to increased funding to
support the London Celebrates Canada campaign as well as increased costs for public art maintenance, restoration needs and condition
studies.
The Culture Office will continue to promote public art in London while ensuring existing public art is properly maintained.
Museum London Operating Highlights 2015 Budget Highlights
Museum London approved budget increase of $64 thousand or 4.1% relates to the continued challenges associated with rising utility
rates well above the rate of inflation and cost increases in marketing and collection management expenses related to art acquisition
along with stagnant sponsorship and fundraising revenues. To mitigate the budget increase, Museum London eliminated funding for the
vacant Head of Development position.
Eldon House Operating Highlights 2015 Budget Highlights
The Eldon House approved budget increase of $31 thousand or 13.3% is primarily attributable to personnel cost increases due to
contractual obligations, funding for additional equipment rentals for payment processing, and increased advertising expenses partially
offset by increases in revenues. Eldon House will continue to focus on building awareness of the heritage property to promote revenue
generation.
Page 37
Heritage Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Heritage approved budget a decrease of $12 thousand or 7.8% due to lower personnel costs required in 2015 because the 2014 budget
included an estimated cost for future hiring (Council approved one position to support the City’s heritage programs and policies in 2014).
London Public Library Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
As a high use, low cost service provider, the Library will continue to maintain existing service levels with an increase of $401 thousand or
2.1%. The increase is primarily attributable to personnel contractual obligations and increased budgetary pressures on utilities.
A continued effort on energy conservation and implementing actions that are aligned with the Library’s 2014-2017 Strategic Plan will
continue in 2015.
The Library’s additional investment business case for the Central Library Revitalization of $2 million was approved by Council. As a result
of this approval the Library will undertake several activities aimed at realizing the revitalization goals in 2015.

Business Attraction & Retention Operating Highlights 2015 Budget Highlights
Business Attraction & Retention approved budget a decrease of $1.8 million or 15% (reduction to the Economic Development reserve
fund related to the Industrial Land Development Strategy). As part of the approved budget, $6.9 million will be contributed to the
Economic Development Reserve Fund that will be used to fund investments that best accelerate London’s economy and foster private
sector investment in the City.
Resulting from the December 18, 2012 “A Path to Prosperity” report, Civic Administration identified five proposals best suited to meet
the goals and objectives of London’s Prosperity Plan. The proposals included: the Industrial Land Strategy, Redevelopment of 111
Horton Street, Mixed Use Development Including a Performing Arts Centre, London Medical Innovation and Commercialization Network
(LMICN) and the Employment Program Support.
The following is intended to serve as a status update associated with each proposal:
The Industrial Land Strategy: in process - ILDS annual monitoring and pricing report presented March 2015.
Redevelopment of 111 Horton Street: in process - constraint and gap identification.
Mixed Use Development Including a Performing Arts Centre: on March 10, 2015 Municipal Council decided to take no further
action on the Celebration Centre proposal and referred the matter of exploring the potential for a future performing arts to the
multi-year budget discussion in order to permit the Municipal Council to further review this matter in the context of overall
budgetary considerations.
London Medical Innovation and Commercialization Network (LMICN): the City invested $10M towards the London Medical
Innovation and Commercialization (LMICN) initiative; the grant is intended to serve as a catalyst to activate the Network, and is
required to be applied to capital and equipment costs. It being noted that, Western submitted a proposal to FedDev for
additional funding in January 2015.
The Employment Program Support: the Employment Program Support has successfully received a second year of funding for the
fiscal year 2014/2015, noting that any future and /or additional funding in this matter will be considered through the Strategic
Funding Framework.
In 2014, Council endorsed six recommendations which resulted from the “Economic Development Review” report completed by
KPMG. As a result, staff will continue the implementation of the identified recommendations in 2015, which include the development of
a community economic strategy and enhanced coordination and reporting between City funded economic organizations.
Page 46

Tourism London Operating Highlights 2015 Budget Highlights

Conservation Authorities Operating Highlights 2015 Budget Highlights
The Conservation Authorities approved budget increase is $186 thousand or 5.8%. The increase is primarily in the UTRCA due to a
decrease in government grants and direct revenues for soil conservation and Source Water Protection projects completed in 2014 that
will not carry over to 2015. This loss of funding is partially offset by a reduction in materials and supplies and capital contracts.
Environmental Action Programs & Reporting Operating Highlights 2015 Budget Highlights
Environmental Action Programs & Reporting budget was approved with a small increase of $1 thousand or 0.1% due to inflationary
budgetary pressures being offset by operational cost containment. In 2015, staff will be implementing the actions identified in the
Community Energy Action Plan. In addition, as the short-term Active Transportation (AT) and Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) Action Plan nears its conclusions, development of the longer-term Comprehensive AT and TDM Action Plan that complements
Complete Streets and supports the active transportation aspects of The London Plan will begin.
Garbage, Recycling & Composting Operating Highlights 2015 Budget Highlights
A budget reduction to Recycling and Composting of $334 thousand or 7.5% is primarily due to increased processing fee and recycling
revenues, due to increased commodity prices and volumes partially offset by contractual obligations and personnel costs.
A budget increase to Garbage Collection and Disposal of $580 thousand or 6.6% is primarily due to reduced revenue from lower
quantities of business garbage and container charges and increases in operational expenditures.

Neighbourhood & Recreation Services Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Neighbourhood & Recreation Services approved budget increase of $268 thousand or 1.4%. The increase is primarily due to personnel
contractual obligations and the impacts of the 7.3% increase in the minimum wage that became effective June 2014, partially offset by
modest increases to user fees. In addition, a service adjustment of $82 thousand has been included in the budget for an Age Friendly
Coordinator position to support the Age Friendly initiatives and implementation of the Age Friendly London Action Plan. It should be
noted that additional investments for Municipal Grant Requests have been submitted. The requested funding is not recommended by
Civic Administration and is not included in the 2015 base budget request or forecast.
Municipal golf, following a down turn in the economy in 2008 has returned to a financially viable operation. In recent years, revenue has
exceeded expenses while the operation has been revised to reduce costs while increasing the quality of the experience. Participation
has increased and annual contributions to capital reserves for reinvestment in the golf courses and facilities are now being made.
Parks & Urban Forestry
2015 Budget Highlights
Parks & Urban Forestry approved budget increase of $359 thousand or 3.2% primarily due to personnel contractual obligations,
increases in purchased services related to office rental costs, higher Upper Thames River Conservation Authority contract costs (includes
additional hectares being managed) and new initiative funding for the Urban Forestry Strategy .

Building Approvals Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
The 2015 budget increase of $27 thousand or 2.3% for Building Approvals is primarily due to increases in personnel costs related to
existing employment agreements, minimal costs associated with information system maintenance, and general inflationary pressures,
partially offset by increased revenue in sign permit fees and lawyers letters based on current trends.
In 2015, Building Approvals will be ensuring all plans examination and inspection staff are trained and re-qualified with respect to the
Ontario Building Code changes effective January 1, 2014.
City Planning & Research (Land Use Planning) Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
City Planning & Research approved budget increase of $26 thousand or 0.8% primarily due to increases in personnel contractual
obligations, parking, and professional development, partially offset by additional revenues for zoning change applications.
For 2015, Land Use Planning will continue to focus on processing planning applications quickly, noting that processing times for planning
applications remain some of the fastest in Ontario.
Development Services Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Development Services will maintain existing service levels with an increase of $71 thousand or 1.9%. The increase is primarily due to
personnel contractual obligations and reduced user fee revenues for subdivision inspection fees based on current trends.

Animal Services Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Animal Services approved budget increase of $104 thousand or 7.2% primarily due to the flow through of the animal control contract
that was signed in the fall of 2014.
In 2015, Animal Services will further explore the idea of a City run mobile microchip unit and develop an implementation strategy.
By-law Enforcement Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
By-law Enforcement approved budget increase of $74 thousand or 6.7% primarily due to personnel contractual obligations and
reductions to untidy lot revenue based on current trends, partially offset by savings in purchased services related to enforcement
actions and licensing expenses.
A focus on proactive targeted enforcement projects will continue to be conducted in 2015.
Corporate Security & Emergency Management Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Corporate Security & Emergency Management approved budget increase of $18 thousand or 1.4% primarily due to increases in
purchased services related to cost escalation for guard services and maintenance of alarm services.
Fire Services Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
With an increase of $277 thousand or 0.5%, Fire Services has limited spending to only “mission critical” items in order to reduce costs.
The increase is primarily attributable to flow through costs associated with an interim arbitration award of 1.9% in 2014. No amounts
are included in the 2015 budget for the unresolved labour contract related to 2015 settlements. It should be noted that 95% of total
expenditures are related to personnel costs and agreements that cover salaries and fringe benefits expired on December 31, 2010.
Page 78
Police Services Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Police Services approved budget increase of $689 thousand or 0.7%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased costs for fuel,
utilities, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board costs and a reduced draw from its reserves, partially offset by the extension of Provincial
funding for court security and prisoner transportation costs. In addition, the 2015 budget includes service reductions resulting from
restructuring efforts that have led to a reduction of 14.5 full time equivalent positions which has assisted in mitigating the overall 2015
budget request. Although front line service delivery will not be impacted, there are service reductions to other programs and services
offered by the Police Service such as the closure of Police Headquarters overnight and reductions in staff dedicated to crime prevention,
family consultants, and Secondary School resources. It should be noted that there have been no amounts included in the 2015 budget
for labour settlements (Working Agreements expire December 31, 2014).

Social Housing Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Social Housing approved budget decrease of $370 thousand or 2.9%. Social Housing has been able to achieve a budget reduction primarily due
to increased funding received from the Ontario Gazette as well as operational savings from improved business practices related to housing
provider monitoring. Also included in the 2015 budget are first year start-up and transition costs for the Housing Development Corporation
and the Housing Collaborative Initiative which includes the implementation of a new housing financial system in conjunction with other
participating municipalities.
London & Middlesex Housing Corporation Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
The approved budget increase of $586 thousand or 7.4% for LMHC is primarily the result of significant increases in property taxes, insurance
and utilities. The property tax expense is anticipated to increase by 7.2% due to MPAC assessments and insurance and utilities costs are
anticipated to increase by 6.8% and 5.1% respectively. These costs pressures represent approximately 96% of the total increase required to
maintain existing service levels.
Long Term Care Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Long Term Care approved budget decrease of $277 thousand or 5.9% primarily due to a budget reduction in the Dearness Home. Factors
contributing to the Dearness Home reduced request include a reduction to personnel costs due to a reduction of 2.6 full-time equivalents
resulting from a workload restructuring, increases in user fees, and increases in the level of care and envelope funding.
The South West Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN) implemented a financial and service delivery model for Adult Day Programs effective
April 2014. Under this new model, the overall funding for this program has been reduced and in order to remain viable a municipal
contribution for Adult Day Programs of $15 thousand is required in 2015, it being noted that a municipal contribution was not required in
2014.
Page 87
Land Ambulance Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
With an increase of $419 thousand or 3.6%, Land Ambulance will be adding a 12 hour vehicle (4 full-time employees / 5 full-time equivalents
per 12 hour ambulance) operating 7 days per week to address increasing demand for service and to mitigate wait time pressures. The increase
in expenditures has been offset partially by a planned drawdown from reserves.
Middlesex-London Health Unit Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Middlesex-London Health Unit approved budget a 0% increase. The City of London, the County of Middlesex, and the Middlesex-London
Health Unit are working collaboratively in efforts to identify cost efficiencies in the delivery of public health, it being noted that the
provincial/municipal funding ratio in the 2015 budget remains at 69/31 rather than the desired 75/25.
Social & Community Support Services Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Social & Community Support Services approved budget reduction of $1.7 million or 7.2% primarily due to additional provincial subsidy resulting
from the Provincial upload of the municipal share of eligible Ontario Works Financial Assistance and Employment Assistance costs that were
originally cost shared at 80:20 provincial-municipal basis. In 2015, the municipal share will be 8.6%.

Capital Overview
The City of London’s capital plan for Social and Health Services is $2.6 Million in 2015 and $26.5 Million from 2015 to 2024, which represents 1.5% of

Parking Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Parking approved budget increase of $4 thousand or 0.1%. Increases related to personnel contractual obligations and cost pressures in
the parking enforcement contract and maintenance costs for a carpool parking lot are offset by savings from the reduced utilization of
one vehicle and increased user fee revenue based on current trends.
In 2015, Parking will continue to replace individual meters with master meters (pay ‘n display) in the Downtown Area to provide better
customer service including more options for payment and more efficient maintenance and collection of coins.
London Transit Commission Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
The London Transit Commission approved budget increase of $761 thousand or 2.9%. Increase in expenditures are primarily
attributable to personnel contractual obligations, inflationary pressures in insurance, fuel and contracts, as well as costs associated with
the flow through impacts of service hours added in 2014. Partially offsetting these expenditure pressures are increased transportation
and operating revenue along with Provincial Gas Tax funding.
The London Transit Commission continues to have a disparity between ridership growth and service hour growth which has resulted in
service quality issues. The hours of service added over the last number of years have been minimal in relation to ridership growth due
to economic challenges, including the constraints on public investment. The additional service hours have been used to address the
most significant service quality issues and ridership retention, not ridership growth.
Roadways Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
With an increase of $1,183 thousand or 3.4%, Roadways will be able to maintain existing service levels. The approved 2015 budget
increase is primarily the result of increases in personnel contractual obligations, operating supplies and equipment, and energy costs for
traffic signals and street lights.
In 2015, Roadways will progress the first Rapid Transit environmental assessment, a primary recommendation of the Transportation
Master Plan, and initiate the second Rapid Transit environmental assessment.

* An increase in claims frequency and cost is expected as the City of London continues to grow, infrastructure ages and budgets tighten. This is also compounded
by the fact weather is a key contributor in the expected number of claims. Extreme weather events will likely increase. Our forecast takes these factors in
consideration and increased claims volume and cost will be expected.
** Average duration includes evenings and weekends in addition to regular working hours.
*** Current Statistics are indicating that the average levels of charges received might stabilize lower than 2013 level.

Corporate Services Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Corporate Services has been able to contain the 2015 budget increase to $600 thousand or 1.4%. Approximately $342 thousand or 57%
of the increase is related to utility cost pressures with the remaining increases primarily associated with general inflationary pressures.
It should be noted that Information Technology Services (ITS) has been able to submit a budget with a 0% increase as a result of
restructuring ITS such that strategy aligned with tactical actions along with a zero based budget review that occurred in 2014 that better
aligned functional units with the services provided.
Corporate Planning & Administration Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
With a budget increase of $27 thousand or 1%, Corporate Planning & Administration will continue to maintain existing service levels.
With personnel costs representing approximately 89% of the total budget, the increase is primarily due to personnel contractual
obligations.
Council Services Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Council Services has been able to contain the 2015 budget increase to $7 thousand or 0.2%. The increase is primarily due to additional
costs related to interpreter services in Advisory Committees.
As part of ongoing customer service improvement efforts, an assessment of the resources required to support the Mayor and Members
of Council in carrying out their statutory responsibilities will be undertaken to determine what, if any, changes are required to the
existing support mode, with the associated budgets to be adjusted accordingly.
Page 105
Financial Management Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
The $10.2 million or 12.0% increase in Financial Management is primarily attributable to increases in capital financing and other reserve
contributions (pay as you go financing and reserve / reserve fund contributions) that is used to fund the corporate capital plan,
corporate contingencies along with a reduced reliance from reserves to fund ongoing expenditures contained in the budget.
Financial Management’s additional investment business case for Corporate Properties – Carrying Costs of $590 thousand was approved
by Council. The funding source for this initiative is from 2014 operating surplus, therefore there is no impact to the 2015 tax levy.
Public Support Services Operating Highlights
2015 Budget Highlights
Public Support Services approved budget increase of $19 thousand or 11%. The increase is primarily due to increased costs for
interpreter services and postage and courier costs partially offset by a budget reduction in Taxation resulting from a decrease to
personnel costs attributable to existing employment agreements and increased user fees.

In 2015, Council approved the addition of $44.0 million ($22.1 million for general property taxes and $21.9 million for City Services Reserve Funds)
of debt financing, increasing the total authorized debt to $280.2 million and the total potential debt to date to $617.7 million, as shown in the table
below.
The tables below project debt based on a modest pace of spending against the approved 10-year capital plan. The 10-year capital plan includes an
internal debt financing cap of $26 million over the 10-years for the general property tax supported budget, including tax supported reserve funds.
The Wastewater debt level forecast is developed using parameters included in the 20-year wastewater plan.
The Debt Level Overview tables below summarize the City's current debt levels and 10-year forecast to 2024. At the end of 2014, issued debt will
be approximately $337.5 million. The remaining debt, which has been authorized but not issued, is approximately $236.2 million, for a combined
potential debt level of $573.7 million.

Note to overview tables: All figures exclude any commitments that may be recognized by 2014 year-end and excludes all current and future commitments
against Urban Works. Debt servicing forecasts are subject to change for market conditions which affect interest rates, issue timing, and issue term that are
used in calculating debt servicing costs. Amounts are subject to rounding.
The overview table below shows debt servicing costs related to the proposed 10-year capital plan. Projected debt repayments are calculated over a
10-year term using interest rates ranging from 4.30% to 5.40% from 2015 to 2017 and peaking at 5.70% in 2018 through to 2024. Interest rates are
derived using forecasts published by the "Big Five Canadian Banks".
Debt servicing costs for 2015, total $62.1 million corporately and are forecasted to rise over the next 10-years reflecting an increase in the amount of
debt issued and the rising interest rate environment.
