STEP 5 - CONTINUUM OF SERVICES
5.A The Continuum of Services is a document that was originally developed in 2005 that
groups all the services that the City provides into one of five categories; from the least to
most discretionary, as follows:
1. Legislative requirements
2. Core function for all organizations
3. Core function for municipalities
4. Highly desirable
5. Like to do if possible
Direction was initially given by Council in June to update the Continuum of Services,
and provide detailed information on those services that are the most discretionary
(identified as those that are "highly desirable", or "like to do if possible"). The
Continuum would then become the tool to identify potential reductions that could be
used to achieve the 2013 Budget target.
The updated Continuum was provided to Members of Council in November; however, it
became clear that the elimination of many services outlined on the Continuum could
require a significant amount of lead time. Depending on the services Council were to
choose, if any, opportunities for savings in 2013 could be limited. As such, the
Committee must give direction to staff in order for them to have time to implement any
reductions for the 2014 Budget.
In addition, Council has since approved additional budget reductions that could
potentially achieve the target for 2013 without the use of the Continuum. As such,
Council approved the follOWing recommendation from the Estimates Committee on
December 17
th
,
"THAT the Estimates Committee BE DIRECTED to identify Continuum of Services
items that are needed to meet the 2014 budget target of 1.54% and report back to
Council in January, 2013."
5.B Which of the following services, if any, does the Estimates Committee wish to identify to
provide reductions needed to meet the 2014 Budget target?

TAX POLICY

Step 7 . Property Tax Ratio Reduction Policy
7. The following 12 year plan was approved by Council as part of the City's Strategic
Financial Plan to implement a Property Tax Ratio Reduction Policy:
Year 1 - 2009
Only apply the reduction of the residential tax grant as per Council direction from 2007
and reduce the industrial class tax ratio by only the legislated requirement if there is a
budget increase. This will result in a 2.2% or $50.00 tax bill increase to the average
residential taxpayer plus whatever the shift from the industrial property class may
require.
Year 22010
Only apply the reduction of the residential tax grant as per Council direction from 2007
and reduce the industrial class tax ratio by only the legislated requirement if there is a
budget increase. This again will result in a 2.2% or $50.00 tax bill increase to the
average residential taxpayer plus whatever the shift from the industrial property class
may require.
Year 3 - 2011
Reduce the industrial property class tax ratio to the threshold for the property class. This
will leave the commercial and multi-residential property class tax ratios at their current
level and reduce the industrial class tax ratio to 2.6300 from the current 2.9334. This
reduction will shift or increase by approx $30.00 or 1.3% the average residential
taxpayer's property taxes.
Year4 2012
Reduce the commercial, industrial and multi-residential property class tax ratios by 10%
of the difference between the existing ratios and the 1.5000 equivalence target for the
tax ratios in the 3 business classes. This reduction will shift or increase by approx
$30.00 or 1.3% the average residential taxpayer's property taxes.
Year 5 to 12 - 2013 to 2020
Continue to reduce the commercial, industrial and multi-residential property class
tax ratios by the same percentages as they were reduced in 2012. This reduction
will shift or increase by approx $30.00 or 1.3%, per year, the average residential
taxpayer's property taxes.
