V9B 2X8 STAFF REPORT TO ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE COMMITTEE Date: November 10, 2009 File No.: 1850-01 Subject: Request for Funding - Habitat for Humanity BACKGROUND Habitat for Humanity have relocated their operations and their Restore outlet for new and used donated building supplies from Victoria to 849 Orono Ave. Attached is a letter requesting financial support to offset some of the cost of this move and also asking for a permissive tax exemption for 2010. COMMENTS If Habitat for Humanity's share of the 2009 taxes for the property was $15,000 then the proportion that represents municipal tax is 43.9% or approximately $6,600. The total tax levied on this property in 2009 was $46,745.67, so in 2010 we can forecast that the total taxes will be in the order of $50,000 of which $22,000 would be the municipal portion. It is unknown at this time whether Habitat for Humanity has asked any other municipalities for assistance or what activity has been carried out or planned for Langford. Staff may be able to report verbally on this at the meeting FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS No funding for this request was specifically included in the City's 5-year financial plan. If Committee wishes to recommend payment of an amount up to $15,000 it could be made from the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund or from Council Contingencies. The property at 849 Orono Ave is registered in the name of No. 2 VC Ventures Ltd. and is likely not eligible for a permissive tax exemption. If Committee wishes to recommend ongoing financial support for Habitat for Humanity, a grant in the amount of the municipal taxes or total taxes (or some other amount) could be included in the 2010-2014 financial plan. OPTIONS That the Administration and Finance Committee recommend that Council: 1. Decline to provide funding for Habitat for Humanity, or 2. Provide funding in the amount of $6,600 (or $15,000) for Habitat for Humanity in 2009 with funding to come from the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund (or Council Contingencies, and/or 3. Provide funding in the 2010-2014 Financial Plan to pay to Habitat for Humanity the amount of municipal taxes (or total taxes) levied on their property at 849 Orono Avenue.

Dear Mayor Stew Young and Members of Council: Further to your discussion with David McLean, we are requesting assistance with Habitat for Humanity Victoria's transition costs as we recently relocated our ReStore and Habitat operations to 849 Orono Avenue in Langford. We are requesting a contribution or a grant to cover a portion of the 2009 property tax ($15,000) which was due on our closing of the Orono avenue property. This contribution will assist us as we grow our sales in our new location which has a direct impact upon our ability to build affordable homes for working families. The ReStore sells donated quality used and new building supplies. It was formerly located in a leased building on Douglas Street in Victoria. We determined that ownership was preferable and the western communities a desirable location. We believe that this move will support our goal of building ten homes each year start to finish. To date, we have built 16 homes; 3 with the first legal suites in Saanich and we have a new build starting in 2010. A small staff team of seven supported by 400 volunteers raise funds, build houses and sell quality used and new building supplies in the ReStore. The ReStore is a critical arm of many Habitat organizations in North America. Simply put, the ReStore funds the infrastructure and administrative costs of Habitat for Humanity affiliates. Increasing sales from the ReStore increases our capacity to build more homes. As we go into the 2010 tax year, the Board of Directors is requesting placement of Habitat for Humanity Victoria on the Permissive Tax Exemption list. We understand that this provision exists in Langford for not for profit organizations. We look forward to your consideration of these requests. If you require additional information , please contact Patti Sullivan, Executive Director at 250-220-4559.

V9B 2X8 STAFF REPORT TO ADMINISTRATION & FINANCE COMMITTEE Date: November 10, 2009 File No.: 1200-01 Subject: Amendment to Retention of Services and the Purchase of Supplies Policy Purchase Orders BACKGROUND The City's current Retention of Services and Purchase of Supplies Policy requires that all purchases over $300, except for some specified exemptions, be authorized by purchase order (PO). $300 is the limit that was set when Langford incorporated in 1993. A copy of the policy is attached as Schedule A. COMMENTARY Staff now find that the $300 limit means that POs must be issued for many routine and relatively trivial purchases where requiring a PO adds little or nothing to financial control and is thus an inefficiency. Committee may wish to consider recommending an increase in the limit to $1,000. This would eliminate one category in Division Three of the policy "(i) Purchases From $300.00 to $1,000.00" and would require other consequential amendments to ensure consistency. The list of exemptions from purchase order requirements in Division Three (c) includes such routine expenditures as salaries, utilities and professional services. Committee may wish to consider recommending adding janitor services, pest control services and garbage and recycling disposal. Finally, the title of this policy, while descriptive of what it contains does not lend itself to being easily found in a list of policies. Committee may wish to consider recommending a change in title to Purchasing Policy. A copy of the proposed amended policy is attached as Schedule B. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS There are no restrictions on Council's discretion with respect to purchasing policy. P17 OPTIONS That the Administration and Finance Committee recommend that Council: 1. Replace the Retention of Services and the Purchase of Supplies Policy with the proposed Purchasing Policy, or 2. Not change the Retention of Services and the Purchase of Supplies Policy Respectfully submitted, Steve Tement Treasurer Audrey Kryklywyj-Shortreid Deputy Director of Finance Jim Bowden Administrator Matthew Baldwin City Planner John Manson Bob Beckett City Engineer Fire Chief P18 SCHEDULE A DISTRICT OF LANGFORD POLICY NO.: 1200 . 00.001 POLICY: RETENTION OF SERVICES AND THE PURCHASE OF SUPPLIES DIVISION ONE - GENERAL (a) The District of Langford will seek to obtain services or make its purchases from reliable suppliers, recognizing that although price is important, other elements of value, including quality, experience, environmental impact, ability to deliver at required times, service and customer relations, constitute the total cost to the District.
