other municipalities
•
Municipal comparators are Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA)
municipalities with populations greater than 150,000 for the years 20112014:
o Brampton, Burlington, Hamilton, Mississauga, Oshawa, Oakville,
Richmond Hill, Toronto, Vaughan

Markham continues to experience growth as one of the fastest growing municipalities amongst
comparator municipalities within the GTHA. Population growth is accompanied by an increase in assets
to service the new population. The new assets will require maintenance, periodic rehabilitation, and
eventual replacement.

service debt through taxation. Markham is positioned well for the future in respect to debenture financing.
• 2014 debt: $14.2M (facilitated debt financing for MDEI Birchmount energy plant, and obtained a low

Household income is a measure of the community’s ability to pay for services in a municipality. A
higher relative income indicates a stronger overall local economy. However, it may also lead to a
greater expectation for quality programs, resulting in additional challenges in balancing desired
service levels.
Markham ranks 3rd highest based on average household income, and 4th highest based on
median household income.

Total tax levy (incl. upper tier, excl. school boards) per capita when contrasted against average
household income provides a good representation of the “affordability” of living in Markham.
Markham is on the lower end of tax levy per capita and on the higher end of average household
income.

• Reserves provide a contingency against unforeseen circumstances, and provide for the
sustainable rehabilitation and replacement of assets that are currently in service. Life-cycle
reserves equal one third of the total reserves and reserve funds balance.
2013: $198M ÷ $220M = 90%

Summary of Key Metrics
•
Based on the key metrics, Markham is in a strong financial position relative
to comparator municipalities
•
This is due to a strong focus on policy-based initiatives that support
Markham’s fiscal sustainability
•
Steps need to be taken in order to maintain existing levels of financial
performance

•
From 2009 – 2016, over $22M of revenue enhancements and expenditure reductions have been implemented to offset
potential tax increases
•
Without E3 there would have been a need for a property tax increase of approximately 20%; this increase would have
been built into the base each year on a cumulative basis
•
In addition, other initiatives were implemented that strengthened the organization’s ability to serve customers, support
staff engagement, avoid future costs, and improve quality of services

3a. Multi-Year Budget (2016-2019)
•
A draft multi-year budget for 2016-2019 has been developed which aligns
to the corporate goal “Stewardship of Money and Resources”
•
In this process, the first year of the four year budget will be approved by
Council, accompanied by a three-year forecast for years two, three and
four
•
The multi-year budget process will allow the City to be more proactive in
capitalizing on opportunities, and mitigating challenges

3b. Life-Cycle Replacement and Capital Reserve
•
In 1998, Council recognized the need to set aside funds for the rehabilitation
and eventual replacement of aging assets, and approved an 8% property tax
increase for this purpose
•
Markham formally established the Life-Cycle Replacement and Capital Reserve
in 2004 to address the on-going capital replacements and preventative
maintenance of capital assets
•
The adequacy of the Life-Cycle Reserve is reviewed annually using a 25-year
rolling planning horizon, based on projected inflows to sustain future
rehabilitation and replacement requirements for the City’s existing assets, over
the next 25 years
Slide 37
3b. Life-Cycle Reserve Model
A rolling 25-year model is an effective method to ensure funding adequacy but it
should be recognized that annual updates continually identify a need for increased
inflows due to:
A.
Existing Assets
1. Replacement of assets within the 25 year period (Current practice)
• there are sufficient funds to sustain the future replacement and
rehabilitation requirements for the following 25 years based on known
inflows and outflows
2. Replacement of assets outside the 25 year period
B.
New Assets
1. Developer initiated subdivision internal works
Slide 38
2. City initiated capital projects
3b. Life-Cycle Reserve Model
• At the 1st Budget Committee meeting, Staff identified that the City’s asset base will grow by
approximately $78 million per year through capital projects and the assumption of
subdivision internal works
• The anticipated growth in assets will require an incremental $1.5 million per year to fund the
periodic rehabilitation and eventual replacement of these assets
• Staff proposed an incremental 1% infrastructure surcharge per year, starting with
the 2016 budget
Staff were directed to report back in Spring 2016 to address:
1. Replacement of assets outside the 25 year period (Item A2 from previous slide)
2. New assets being added to the City’s inventory from 2016 to 2031, and the need for an
incremental 1% infrastructure surcharge per year (Items B1 and B2 from previous slide)
