2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 3 of 114
Executive Summary The annual budget is one of the most important, and most complicated, documents produced by a municipality. The budget is not only the final costs of providing services in the previous year, but also forecasts how much it will cost to provide those services in the coming year, and whether those services will increase, decrease or remain constant.
Council and the public will see a different approach to the delivery of this year’s budget. Residents, Council and staff will see a more transparent document that is not just “a bunch of numbers” but includes financial and operational information that is useful to the users of the budget. It is hoped that this additional information will provide Council with the high-level information that will allow for informed and open decision making. It is also hoped that the public will benefit from an easier to understand document that shows how their tax dollars are used to provide service throughout the Town.
Parry Sound, like many other municipalities, faces increasing financial pressures to do more with less money while keeping debt levels low.
In 2015, Council passed the Budget and Financial Control Policy which provided a guideline for the preparation of the 2016 (and future) budget. Staff have worked diligently to provide a budget with a tax rate increase between 1.5% and 1.9%, while maintaining services levels at or above those in 2015.
This year’s budget comes in just below a 1.9% tax rate increase, and includes over $300,000 new or one-time service delivery enhancements to continue providing residents the service they have come to expect from the Town. However, Staff did have to prioritize a number of projects and over $438,000 of potential service enhancements were not included in this year’s budget. Further capital investment of $1.8 million was either delayed to a future year or not considered feasible.
This budget is proposing a significant change in funding fleet and rolling stock assets. A 20-year funding plan has been adopted with annual contributions to the Fleet Replacement Reserve and the Equipment Replacement Reserve. This will provide stable, predictable funding for future fleet and equipment replacement.

New Operating Initiatives To improve transparency, this year the Service Delivery Budgets (Operating Budgets) will show a baseline budget (the same level of service as 2015), one-time additions and service level changes.

Items Considered By Staff and Removed The Town’s Budget and Financial Control Policy provides a guideline for the tax rate increase in any given year. For 2016 this guidance was between a 1.5% and 1.9% increase. Senior staff met at the beginning of November and again in mid-November to prioritize capital projects and service enhancements. Several projects and service enhancements were cut in order to get to the 1.9%
threshold. Adding these projects or enhancements will require Council to either increase the tax rate above the guideline target, or possibly reduce core services to fund these initiatives.
The items considered and cut by staff include:

Welcome to Parry Sound
About the Town of Parry Sound The Town of Parry Sound is the world-renowned jewel of the 30,000 Islands on Georgian Bay.
Located on Highway 400 approximately 2 hours north of Toronto and 2 hours south of Sudbury, Parry Sound hugs the shores of the world’s largest freshwater archipelago, known as the 30,000 Islands. In 2004, UNESCO designated the area as a World Biosphere Reserve, the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve.
Parry Sound is rich in arts, culture and heritage. The Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts and the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame are home to the international summer music festival, the Festival of the Sound. The Hall of Fame pays tribute to Parry Sound hockey hero, Bobby Orr.
The 6km Rotary and the Algonquin Regiment Fitness Trail is a waterfront trail linking to the North Shore Rugged Trail. Stop along the way for a quick swim in sparkling, clean waters or enjoy a picnic at Waubuno Beach or catch a breath-taking sunset over the Bay.

Financial Overview The Town participated in the BMA Management Consulting Inc. Municipal Study – 2015 which is a study comparing 104 municipalities (representing over 84% of the Ontario population). This study compares municipalities by geographic location and by size. As this is the first time we have participated in over 5 years, Staff will be reviewing the study to establish benchmarks for performance management.
Survey Overviews Overall there are a number of socio-economic factors that affect the North more than other regions in Ontario:
Land density (the North has an average land density of approximately 175 people per square kilometre, compared to 600 in Simcoe/Muskoka/Dufferin);
Population growth in the North is approximately 3% compared to over 6% in Simcoe/Muskoka/Dufferin or 9% in the GTA;
Average household income in the North is below $80,000, whereas it is approximately $85,000 in Simcoe/Muskoka/Dufferin; and
Weighted assessment per capita (the basis for property taxes) is approximately $100,000 compared to $160,000 in Simcoe/Muskoka/Dufferin and $180,000 in the GTA.
The average taxes for a detached bungalow in the North is $2,772 this is the lowest in the Province (average is $3,121), however 2-Storey residents average $4,760 (average is $4,318). Commercial office space and shopping taxes are below the Provincial average, however hotel and motel taxes are above the provincial average.
Socio-Economic Indicators Parry Sound had a population increase from 2011 to 2015 of 7.6%, this is comparable with the survey average of 7.7% however significantly higher than the Province’s growth of 3.2%. The Town had the largest population increase as a percentage in both 2006-2011 and 2011-2015 for the North municipalities. The North only saw an increase of 2.9%. This indicates that the Town is seeing an above average population growth, which will draw on municipal services.
The Town has a senior population which represents 23% of the total population, this is higher than the North average of 20% and significantly higher than the 15% Provincial average. Only two municipalities in the North have a higher senior population than the Town (Elliot Lake and Smooth Rock Falls). Only 7 of 104 municipalities in the survey have a higher senior population than the Town.
2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 24 of 114
The Town’s average 2014 household income of $63,855 is the third lowest of the survey participants and is over $24,000 lower than the survey median and $30,000 lower than the survey average. This puts pressure on the municipality to ensure that tax levels are affordable for residents, who already are earning significantly lower than the Provincial average and the North average ($77,518).
Assessment and Taxes The Town has a residential tax assessment of 75.2% which is below the Province’s average of 77.6%. The commercial assessment of 20.7% is above the Province’s average of 10.6% and 1.1% industrial assessment is below the provincial average of 2.2%. Given that the Town is the regional commercial hub it makes sense that above average commercial assessment is in Town. However, as the residential assessment is below average there is a significant transient population that will use Town services to access the commercial properties.
The following table shows the median assessed values for residential properties:
Property Type Parry Sound Provincial Average
Single Family $200,000 $301,000 Link $271,000 Townhouse $293,000 $248,000 Semi-detached $188,000 $226,000
Property Type Parry Sound Provincial Average
Single on Water $216,000 $556,000 Condo $187,000 $203,000 Seasonal $535,000 $340,000
The largest percentage of homes in Parry Sound fall under the “single family” type, and the average value is $100,000 lower than the Provincial average. This means that tax rates will be higher to earn the same level of tax revenue.
The average single family home in Simcoe/ Muskoka/ Dufferin averages $267,000, the North averages $154,000.
In 2014, the Town had $3,607 of building activity per capita which is above the Provincial average of $2,388; however 93% of this building activity is non-residential (the Province averages 40%). This indicates that in 2014 the Town was significantly below average for residential growth. This may cause future population growth to become stagnant. Although the Town has higher than average activity per capita, it is still significantly lower than other municipalities in the North.
Financial Indicators Financial position per capita takes a municipality’s financial assets less its liabilities and puts it on a per capita basis. The Town of Parry Sound has a financial position per capita of $1,347, the Provincial average was $301. The Town was the 8th highest financial position
2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 25 of 114
per capita in the survey. The North average was $64, the Town was second only to Kenora. In Simcoe/Muskoka the average was $189, only Bracebridge and Wasaga Beach had a higher position.
Total Asset Consumption ratio is “Total Net Book Value of Capital Assets” divided by the “Total Gross Costs of Capital Assets”. It shows the value of tangible capital assets that have been consumed. A higher ratio may indicate significant replacement needs. The Town has an asset consumption ratio of 36.2%, this is just below the survey average of 39.2%.
The Town has 138% of its taxation in reserves, this is above the average of 70%; however this includes the reserves and reserve funds for land ambulance service which are restricted and not discretionary. In other municipalities the land ambulance service would be provided by upper tier governments or by significantly larger metropolitan cities.
Parry Sound has the highest reserves per capita figure in the survey, $1,866 compared to the average $589. While this indicates strong reserves, the public and Council need to be aware that this includes reserve funds that are not “Town use” and may skew comparison with the other survey municipalities.
In 2014, the Town had 1.9% debt interest as a percent of our own source revenue. This is higher than the 1.4% survey average. However, this may be indicative of the fact that the Town has invested in capital assets over the
past 10 years utilizing debt. This is supported by the fact that the Town has a lower than average asset usage percentage (ie. Newer assets).
Parry Sound’s debt per person is $909, this is above the average of $478 however is due to our lower population (fifth lowest population in the survey) and urban nature.
The Town’s debt to reserve ratio was 0.8 which is below the survey average of 1.1 but above the median of 0.7. Ideally, around 1.0 is a strong financial position.
The Town’s taxes receivable of 6.8% of tax revenue is below the North average of 6.9%.
Taxes Raised The Town’s tax levy per capita is $1,367 which is in the mid-third of the survey. It is below the survey average of $1,449.
The Town’s levy per capita is below the North Average of $1,535. The levy per $100,000 unweighted assessment is $1,301 vs $1,872 North average. When you weight this, our levy is $1,134 vs $1,617. In all of these cases we are below the North average. We are the only municipality in the North not to be in the top third in any of these three measures.
This indicates that the Town’s levy is lower than the rest of the North and is in the middle third for the Province as a whole.
2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 26 of 114
While there are socio-economic reasons for maintaining a lower tax rate, due to ability to pay, the survey indicates that the Town within a reasonable range when compared to the rest of the Province, and is more affordable than other municipalities in the North.
Maintaining Existing Service Levels The Town’s cost to maintain service levels increases every year due to inflation, similar to the costs that residents face. Prices may increase for hydro, gas, diesel, construction materials, and staff wages all of which are significant components of the Town’s budget.
Also included in the maintenance of existing service levels are the costs due to new or enhanced services approved in the 2015 budget or throughout the year where these services were only provided for a portion of 2015. In 2016 additional costs or benefits will result from the annualization of these service levels.
Since March 2014, the Town has been working on reviewing and creating financial policies for debt and reserve management in an effort to provide for future long range sustainability of the Town and stability of the tax levy.
Service Partners The Town of Parry Sound has a number of Service Partners which provide services to the residents of the Town of Parry Sound and the West Parry Sound Area. These service partners include:
The Parry Sound Public Library West Parry Sound District Museum West Parry Sound Health Centre and Lakeland
Long Term Care
The following boards and agencies have a legislated authority to establish budgets and levy funds through the Town. The Town has limited ability to revise their requests.
Belvedere Heights Home for the Aged The District Social Services Administration Board Ontario Provincial Police Service North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit Parry Sound Area Industrial Park Board Parry Sound Municipal Airport Board West Parry Sound Area Planning Board

Strategic Plan 2015 – 2018 The Council for the Town of Parry Sound approved its Strategic Plan for 2015 to 2018. The process for creation of the Strategic Plan included public open houses, public workshops, staff workshops and the implementation of an Ad-Hoc Committee including members of Council and Staff to draft the plan.
The Strategic Plan consists of five strategic priorities as outlined below. Also included are potential activities which could be added to the budget, which were removed by staff to meet the tax rate increase threshold.
Active Living Leveraging the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve and our natural environment, the Town will be a safe and affordable community and destination for four-season active living.
Priorities We will actively work with community groups to
assist in bringing events and competitions that will promote the culture and environmental features of the area to Town.
We will partner with area municipalities and area groups with the goal of the creation of an Aquatic/Recreation Centre being established for the benefit of area residents.
We will increase the level of recreational programs through direct and indirect delivery methods to improve access to recreational opportunities for all members of the community.
We will expand links in the community for active transportation opportunities through the implementation of the Trails Master Plan
We will leverage our existing recreation infrastructure to maximize the number of opportunities available for residents to utilize facilities for activities.
We will develop a vision and plan to promote a healthy lifestyle for all demographics through increased promotion of activities that are active.

2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 28 of 114
Growth and Development Through collaboration with area and senior government partners, the Town will be development ready and will strengthen and diversify its economy to provide sustainable growth and quality employment.
Priorities Redevelopment of the harbour, relocation of the
MNR/OPP, private sector development and linking the downtown will shape the Town’s waterfront into the future and establish it as the people gathering place and economic hub it is envisioned to be.
Attracting the education and technology-based economy will lead to a diversified economy.
Promoting and supporting fibre to each residence and business will strengthen our community’s access to information and create opportunities for business attraction and job creation.
Tourism product development, marketing and promotion, clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the various tourism-related agencies and creating partnerships with Provincial organizations and tourism operators will position the Town to remain competitive within a very competitive industry.
In collaboration with other economic development-related agencies and stakeholders, identify specific gaps in the current business inventory and implement the Regional Marketing Plan to attract
growth and development to the existing development areas (Parry Sound Municipal Airport, Parry Sound Industrial Park, North Tudhope St).
Supporting the implementation of the Downtown Consumer & Market Study will enhance the downtown experience by creating opportunities for enhanced shopping and potential attracting new housing opportunities
Through the Zoning By-law update, identify areas suitable for intensification and support the efforts of local partners such as DSSAB to address housing needs.
Work with community partners to identify events that could be hosted in the Town throughout the year.
How the 2016 Budget Could Meet This Priority Continued increased spending on tourism and
marketing of the Town Proposed Membership in the Great Lakes Cruising

2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 29 of 114
Organizational Excellence To enhance internal cohesiveness and employee pride in the organization and to ensure continued high levels of customer service, the Town will demonstrate integrity in all relationships and activities and will foster idea generation, information sharing and understanding. The Town will ensure consistent investment and advancement in and support for our employees. The best only get better.
Priorities We will continue to share and exchange
information and knowledge with our staff and our community on a timely basis and look for ways to improve how that is done.
A healthy workplace is a happy workplace. We will act with integrity and treat each other with respect. We will walk the talk and hold each other accountable when we don’t
We will ensure our staff are well trained and developed to help ensure they can perform to high standards and feel personally fulfilled.
We don’t achieve much on our own; we work together, as a team. All our staff will know what’s important and will be given what’s needed to meet corporate objectives.
Our purpose, as Town employees is to provide a range of services to the community and its residents. We will provide those services with excellence in mind because it is our community.
How the 2016 Budget Meets This Priority Continued investment in professional development
opportunities for staff
Our Community We will build pride and a better, inclusive community by engaging our community and our residents in the development and enhancement of our Town.
Priorities Initiatives such as signage, tree and flower
plantings, community gardens and the reintroduction of the Façade Improvement Program all enhance our Town. Efforts to beautify our Town will be strengthened when we work with partners such as the Downtown Business Association and neighbourhood groups. Infrastructure upgrades and long term financial strength and stability are strategies that also help build a strong Parry Sound community.
Community engagement is key to creating vibrant neighbourhoods and community pride. Inclusive communications will ensure residents and businesses are made aware of Town business and opportunities that could lead to participation in projects that develop volunteerism and result in beautification.
How the 2016 Budget Could Meet This Priority A proposed grant program for one time community
projects.
2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 30 of 114
A neighbourhood competition to increase community involvement and engagement.

Financial Policies The Town of Parry Sound has approved several financial policies with the intent to provide consistency with how financial decisions are made. The major financial policies adopted by Council include:
Budget and Financial Control The budget outlines the service delivery and capital investment plans for the upcoming year. The proposed budget is balanced with revenues equaling expenses for the year and is tabled before Council for its review and adoption.
The policy provides a target range for tax rate increases based on the Consumer Price Index and negotiated wage increases. For the year 2016, the target tax rate increase is between 1.5% and 1.9%.
Operating Surplus and Deficit The budget is a document based on estimated revenues and expenditures that the Town will achieve, it is a plan to provide service and invest in capital assets. At the end of the year there is often a difference between what actually happened and what the plan was at the beginning of the year. Any surplus represents a one-time, non-recurring, source of revenue that can be used to increase reserves and reserve funds for future funding needs.
The Town has adopted a policy to apply surplus and deficit at the end of the year to reserves and reserve
funds. This is a way to organically invest in reserves and reserve funds and build them for future use. The surplus is allocated as follows:
30% to the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve 30% to the Capital Replacement Reserve Fund 10% to the Emergency Capital Asset Replacement
Reserve The remaining amount to be at the discretion of
the Director of Finance and approved by Council
The application of deficits is similar, with any deficits first funded by the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve.
Procurement and Purchasing The Procurement and Purchasing By-law provides a system for the procurement of goods and services for the Town. It outlines the responsibilities and authorities for purchasing goods and services. It also outlines when certain procurement processes (Request for Proposal, Request for Tender, Request for Quotation, etc) are required based on the type of purchase as well as the dollar value of the purchase.
Capital Financing and Debt Management The Capital Financing and Debt Management establishes objectives, standards of care, authorized financing instruments, reporting requirements and responsibilities
2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 34 of 114
for the prudent financing of the Town’s operating and infrastructure needs.
Capital financing and debenture practices will be responsive and fair to the needs of both current and future ratepayers and will be reflective of the underlying life cycle and nature of the expenditure. Any debt taken on will not exceed 40 years, and will not be any shorter than the useful life of the asset purchased. The Town is also restricted to the legislated Annual Repayment Limit.
The policy restricts using debt financing for rolling-stock, except for leasing vehicles, or for assets which have useful lives less than 10 years.
Reserve and Reserve Fund The Town has established consistent principles, standards and guidelines for the maintenance, management and accounting of reserves and reserve funds. The primary purpose for reserves and reserve funds is:
Adherence to statutory requirements; Promotion of financial stability and flexibility; Provision for major capital expenditures; Smooth expenditures which would otherwise
cause fluctuation in the Operating Budget; and To take advantage of financial opportunities that
may arise.
Reserves will be maintained to meet one of the following purposes:
Asset Replacement – smooth spikes in capital budgets and property tax changes;
Project Reserves – provide self borrowing mechanisms to reduce risks associated with interest rate fluctuations;
Economic Stability Reserves – buffer against fluctuations in the economy;
Contingency Reserves – established to accommodate contingent, unfunded or known liabilities for current and/or future years;
Working Fund Reserves – established to provide cash flow for operations and to eliminate the requirement to borrow funds for immediate needs;
Self Insurance Reserves – established to provide self insurance provisions.
Reserves will be established through resolution of Council or through the budget process. A Reserve Fund is established through by-law which clearly indicates the purpose of the reserve fund. A Reserve Fund shall earn interest.
Investment This policy establishes guidelines for municipal investments and to ensure compliance with applicable legislation. The Treasurer reports to Council on an annual basis the Town’s adherence with this policy.
The objectives of this policy are to ensure:
Adherence to statutory requirements;
2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 35 of 114
Preservation and security of capital; Maintenance of necessary liquidity; and Realizing a competitive rate of return.
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating or cash flow requirements and limit temporary borrowing requirements. The Town’s investments currently primarily consist of interest-bearing bank accounts held a Canadian chartered bank.
Payables and Payments To ensure control over payments and payables, the Town has approved the Accounts Payable and Payment Policy to establish the responsibilities, controls, authorizations, and procedures for the accurate and timely payment of invoices and cheque requisitions processed by Accounts Payable.
The Town has approved the use of Electronic Funds Transfer as an acceptable form of payment and will be transitioning to the use of EFT for payables in an effort to reduce fraud risk, reduce mailing costs, and improve the timeliness of payments.
Donations As a municipality the Town of Parry Sound is a qualified donee for Canadian income tax purposes. The Town is allowed to issue “official income tax receipts” as prescribed by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). To be a donation there must be an intention to give, a
delivery and an acceptance and it must be voluntary with no expectation of return.
Donations that qualify for an official tax receipt generally include:
Cash; Capital, real or depreciable property; Personal-use property, works of art, jewellery, rare
books, stamps or coins; A leasehold interest or residual interest in a real
property; Donations of life insurance properties; and Donations made under a will.
The following items are not qualified donations per the policy:
Contributions of skill or time; Payment of a basic fee for admission to an event; When the donor requests that the Town pay for a
portion of the donation; When a donor has directed the funds to a specific
person or family; Donations that have a direct benefit to the donor
or a relative of the donor; Donations made in exchange for consideration of
a right, privilege, material benefit such as promotion or advertising;

Key Financial Performance Information
Assessment Growth The primary source of recurring, maintainable revenue is through property taxes. The Town’s assessment base is based on assessed values provided by MPAC. Properties in Ontario are assessed every four years, any increase in value is phased-in over the four year period. If a property dropped in value the decrease in assessment is immediately changed in the first year of the cycle. As a result the first year of a cycle often has lower assessment growth.
The following graph shows the assessment each year from 2011 to 2015, this includes both the phase-in portion of growth as well as actual growth in the assessment base due to development in the Town. As can be seen, the vast majority of the Town’s taxable assessment is residential.
The following graph better shows the level of residential growth vs commercial growth over the past 5 years.

Sources of Revenue The Town has multiple avenues to earn revenue to fund the operations and capital investment required to provide service to residents of Parry Sound.
Property Taxation Property taxation is the primary source of revenue for the Town of Parry Sound. Taxation has increased over the past five years as a result of new assessment (real growth), phased in assessment (market growth) and tax rate increases.
Grants Operating grants are primarily from the Province of Ontario for the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund and for the provision of Land Ambulance Service for the District of Parry Sound.
OMPF grant revenue is expected to decrease this year as a result of Provincial reduction of the fund. There has been a steady decrease over the past 5 years to this funding arrangement.

Licenses and Permits The Town generates revenue through the issuance of licences (dog, taxi, lottery) and permits (building). The two largest sources of revenue under this grouping are:
Building permits Lottery license
In 2014 there were several large building permits issued. This includes a building permit for Parry Sound Public School, while this is a new building in Town, as it is for a public school this will not be taxable assessment growth.

Expenditures The Town reports expenditures both by function (what the expense is for) and by segment (who the expense is for).
Expenditures by Function The following chart shows the actual expenses for 2014 by expense type.
The largest expense for the Town is the contract for service with the WPSHC for delivery of land ambulance service throughout the District of Parry Sound.
If the contract for land ambulance is removed the percentage of expenses changes. Salaries, wages and benefits represent almost 30% of the expenses of the Town. Almost 25% of expenses relate to amortization of capital assets; amortization is the allocation of the cost of the capital asset over its useful life. Interest on long-term
debt, which includes debt for water and wastewater services, is only 3% of the total expenditures of the Town.

Debt Management The Town’s Debt Management and Capital Financing Policy includes a total annual debt repayment of 25% of its Net Revenues, as calculated by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
The following chart shows the ending balance on the Town’s debt from 2016 to 2020, including the proposed 2016 debenture.
While the Town is ultimately responsible for the repayment of debt, some debt has been incurred for the purposes of the water and wastewater system. The Town’s water and wastewater debt is funded through the user fees. The following chart breaks out the Town’s closing debt balance for the next 5 years based on if it is supported by the tax levy or user fees.
The Town’s debt is mainly considered “serial” debt, that means that a variable payment is made that includes a fixed principal payment and decreasing interest expenses.

2016 Municipal Budget (Staff Proposed) Page 46 of 114
The Town has been paying off debt over the past 5 years. In 2015, $1.6 million in new debt was taken on to fund the Forest Street Reconstruction project, College Drive re-alignment, and Hillcrest Storm Sewer reconstruction. Of the new debt, $1.3 million is related to Forest Street, this is net of government grants of $2.7 million. Without these government grants this project may have been delayed years or would have required a debenture of $3.8 million.
In 2016, staff are proposing a debenture of $600,000 to fund the Stockey Centre roof replacement phase II, Bobby Orr Community Centre roof repairs, Big Sound Marina Dock B replacement, and the Bowes Street retaining wall replacement. At current rates of 2.54% for
10 years (fixed), the cost to finance are low while benefiting the residents of Parry Sound.

2016 Staffing and Operational Changes The 2016 staffing changes take into account several changes in the operations of the Town.
Information Technology In September 2015, Council approved the reorganization of the IT function for the Town. Previously this function reported to the Director of Finance and POA Court Services, effective September 12, 2015 this function reports under the CAO. A Corporate Information Systems Coordinator role was created, this combined certain responsibilities of the IT Coordinator and the GIS Technician into a single position. The Town approved the creation of an IT Support Technician which reports to the Corporate Information Systems Coordinator under the CAO.
This is a net 1 change in staffing levels.
Human Resources In September 2015, Council approved the transition of the Town’s HR Coordinator from 2 days per week to 3 days per week. The 2016 budget proposed to make this position a full time position reporting under the CAO; however the budget will remain at 3 days per week to meet the target tax rate increase.
Parks and Recreation In September 2015, Council approved the reorganization of the Parks and Recreation Department to become part of Development and Leisure Services. This resulted in 5 full time staff moving from Public Works to Development and Leisure Services. The Events Coordinator position was eliminated and a Manager of Parks and Recreation position was created. The 5 parks and recreation staff were moved from Public Works to Development and Leisure Services resulting from the organizational change.
This is a net 0 change in staffing.
Public Works The 2016 budget proposed the creation of a new position in the Operations Department of Public Works. This position will be a Mechanic’s Helper / Heavy Equipment Operator. This full-time position would assist the Town’s mechanic provide repair and maintenance services to the Town’s fleet, as well as assist as an equipment operator when needed. This position was not brought forward in order to meet the targeted tax rate increase.
The Town also employs a number of summer students annually in both Parks and Recreation and in Operations. The 2016 budget proposed an additional two summer students specifically to be used downtown for beautification and maintenance. This proposal was deferred to meet the targeted tax rate increase.

Parking Services Parking services for the Town of Parry Sound have been non-tax supported for a number of years. Starting in 2016 this will be phased out as Council has approved the removal of parking meters. There remains reserves available that have been built up from the parking service, these will be used over the next three years to mitigate the impact on the tax levy from the loss of parking revenues.
It should be noted that the budget has been prepared with the assumption that free parking would be implemented, at its meeting of November 17, 2015 Council deferred the full time implementation of free parking until a Downtown Strategic Plan could be developed. This is anticipated to occur in mid 2016. This
budget does include the impact of free parking as this is a “conservative” approach.
New initiatives for 2016 include:
The implementation of free timed parking in the downtown area. This will result in increased staffing for enforcement of timed parking, this is budgeted at $17,000 for 2016. It should be noted that this is achieved through the reduction of $17,000 in expenses from the maintenance of meters so the impact is cost neutral.
The removal of meters, and new signage to indicate the parking rules is a one time expense of $4,000. This is being achieved through regular budget sources, therefore cost neutral.

Capital Investment Budget The 2016 to 2020 Capital Investment Plan and Budget outlines the most critical capital needs of the Town as well as project costs.
Asset Management at the Town of Parry Sound Municipally owned assets such as roads, wastewater treatment and collection systems, water treatment and distribution systems, facilities and fleet vehicles, support our community and are fundamental in the provision of municipal services. Municipally owned assets provide the platform for economic and social development, and contribute to a healthy and prosperous community.
All municipalities have performed some form of asset management; however over the past three years formalizing asset management plans and the providing for the financial resources to implement these plans has become increasingly more important. For the year
ending December 31, 2016 the Town will be required, under the Federal Gas Tax Agreement with AMO, to have an asset management plan in place for all types of assets that fall under the Gas Tax eligibility criteria. For the Town, this means all assets, except for the fire department, are to be included.
The Town has already put into place an AMP for roads, bridges, water and wastewater which came into effect in 2013. A buildings condition report was conducted in 2014. Therefore in 2016 these reports will be updated, as necessary, and equipment and fleet requirements will be added. This budget has, for the first time, prepared a 20-year plan for fleet renewal and rolling equipment renewal. This budget will include an annual provision to reserves to ensure that fleet and rolling equipment replacements are funded when necessary, while minimizing volatility in the tax levy.

Infrastructure projects include Emily and William which have received funding from senior levels of government. There is currently an application in place for Waubeek Street reconstruction. The above costs include the water and wastewater portion, therefore a significant portion may be funded through the water and wastewater systems; however this split is not yet known.
A salt shed is proposed for 2020 for the salt maintenance program, funding for this project will be determined in 2017 and a reserve contribution may occur to fund this project.
Total Tax Supported Activities – Calculation of Funding to Come from Levy or Grants The following chart shows the non-funded portion of the capital requirements for the next 5 years. While there will likely be funding available from senior levels of government, there will be significant requirements from the tax levy, reserves and debentures required. It is anticipated that the Asset Management Plan review which will encompass all asset classes will provide a foundation for a long term financing strategy for the Town’s capital investment strategy.
