FINANCIAL IMPACT

No City funding is required since financing of Business Improvement Area budgets is raised by a special levy on members which totals $13,027,071 in this report.

All of the 2011 BIA operating budgets submitted for consideration are balanced budgets. The appeal provision surplus or appeal provision deficit for each BIA, as determined by the Revenue Services Division, has been addressed by the BIA and incorporated into

their 2011 Operating Budget. The BIA budgets have provisions for required capital cost-sharing contributions for those projects approved in 2010 or prior and carried forward into 2011, as well as new capital cost-share projects included in the 2011 Recommended Capital Budget for Economic Development and Culture.

Appendix A includes a summary of the BIA budgets discussed in this report, including a calculation of their net levy requirements. Appendix B sets out the status of 2011 BIA operating budget submissions.

Appeal Provision Review:

On July 30, 2002, City Council adopted a report entitled “Issues Related to Business Improvement Associations (BIA)”. Among other items, the Finance Department (currently the Revenue Services Division) was directed to conduct an annual review and analysis of the assessment appeal provision for each BIA, in order to determine if the provision is sufficient to meet expected revenue reductions from pending assessment appeals.

The assessment appeal provision is intended to protect the cash flows and revenues required by the BIAs to meet its operating obligations in the future, rather than the BIAs directly compensating the City for assessment appeal reductions. The appeal provision provides a contingency, which is used to offset appeal reductions.

The result of the assessment appeal provision review and analysis for the individual BIA as of August 3, 2010 identified either a provision surplus or provision deficit. Since the appeal provisions are held by the City, any 2010 appeal provision surpluses will be returned to the respective BIAs in 2011, and any appeal provision deficits must be funded through the respective BIA’s 2011 levy. Therefore, each BIA is required to address the identified surplus or deficit amount within its respective operating budget for the following fiscal year. The recommended 2011 BIA Operating Budgets reflect the disposition of the resultant provision surplus or deficit accordingly.

BIA Capital Cost-Share Project Funding:

On July 22, 2003, City Council adopted a report entitled “Business Improvement Area (BIA) Capital Cost-Sharing Program Review” approving the BIA Capital Cost-Sharing Program Guidelines. This program is part of the Economic Development and Culture annual Capital Budget. The program guidelines set out eligibility criteria that BIAs must satisfy in order to participate in the BIA Capital Cost-Sharing Program, including one criteria which requires the availability of the BIA’s share of funding. Prior to making a capital cost-sharing request, the BIA must have in place its share of the project funding (50 percent). If the project is to be phased-in over a period of years, the BIA must have in place 50 percent of the cost of each individual phase prior to making a capital request

Page 5: BIA - 2011 Operating Budgets - Toronto · Staff report for action on 2011 BIA Operating Budgets: Report No. 1 4 The Eglinton Way September 1, 2010 October 6, 2010 The Kingsway October

Staff report for action on 2011 BIA Operating Budgets: Report No. 1 5

for matching funds for that phase. For the purposes of this requirement, the BIA will be allowed to include capital funding to be budgeted for the year in which the capital project is to take place. Another eligibility criteria is that the BIA must have an operating budget, adopted at a general meeting of the BIA and approved by Council, for the year the project is to be implemented.

A review of each of the BIA’s 2011 Operating Budget’s supporting documentation by the BIA Office and Financial Planning Division staff shows that those BIAs with capital cost-share projects approved by the City in 2010 or prior and carried forward into 2011, and new capital projects recommended in the 2011 Economic Development and Culture Capital Budget, have all met the program eligibility criteria of having in place its 50 percent share of the project funding. This share may be reflected in the BIA’s prior years’ accumulated surplus (cash in-hand reserved for specific capital cost-share projects) and/or shown as a capital expenditure item in the BIA’s 2011 Operating Budget.

COMMENTS

The Albion-Islington BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management on October 24, 2010 and its general membership on November 10, 2010. The increased budget reflects the BIA's priorities to continue with Phase 2 of the year round lighting capital cost-shared project, plus implement Phase 1 of the streetscape improvement Master Plan for median enhancements, and to have more year round promotional events and a bigger street festival. The balanced budget consists of $248,104 in expenditures, and the same amount in revenues comprised of a BIA levy of $184,430, anticipated sponsorships of $15,000 to offset part of the costs of the Fusion of Taste Festival, a grant of $2,000 from the City’s Community Festivals and Special Events Investment Program for this event, GST/HST recoveries of $2,000 and interest income of $150. In addition, the BIA will use $37,000 of accumulated funds earmarked for capital cost-shared projects and the appeal provision surplus of $7,524 that the City is returning to the BIA. Budgeted expenditures include $88,850 for marketing, promotion and advertising initiatives; $65,000 for the aforementioned capital cost-shared projects; $16,866 for capital maintenance; and $60,622 for general BIA administration and the services of a full-time BIA coordinator. A 2010 projected operating surplus of $12,000 from more sponsorship revenues and GST/HST recoveries will be saved for future capital cost-shared projects. It is recommended that the Albion-Islington BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $248,104 and a BIA levy of $184,430 be approved.

The Bloor Annex BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management and its general membership on November 9, 2010. The BIA proposes a balanced budget of capital and operating expenditures totalling $114,139 that is 5.5% higher than in 2010, which will be funded by revenues from a 4.6% increase in the levy requirement to $110,692, the appeal provision surplus of $3,147, and GST/HST recoveries of $300. The incremental levy requirement will fund higher BIA administration expenses and more BIA coordinator resource, and increased capital maintenance, for flowers and floral care for the planters. The budgets for advertising and promotion remain the same as in 2010. Phase 2 of the clamp-on pedestrian lighting

Page 6: BIA - 2011 Operating Budgets - Toronto · Staff report for action on 2011 BIA Operating Budgets: Report No. 1 4 The Eglinton Way September 1, 2010 October 6, 2010 The Kingsway October

capital cost-shared project will be implemented in 2011. The BIA is projecting an operating deficit of $3,058 in 2010 due to increased capital maintenance costs. The operating deficit will be funded from the BIA’s accumulated surplus funds. It is recommended that the Bloor Annex BIA’s 2011 budget of gross expenditures totalling $114,139 and a BIA levy of $110,692 be approved.

The Bloor by the Park BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management on October 13, 2010 and its general membership on October 19, 2010. The proposed budget of $82,500 in capital and operating expenditures will require an 18% increase in the BIA levy to $82,500. The incremental levies will be reserved for future capital cost-shared projects, while the balance will go towards funding increased capital maintenance, increase advertising and promotional initiatives and maintain ongoing general BIA administration. A projected 2010 operating surplus of $15,585 resulting from postponed advertising and promotion initiatives will be reallocated towards future capital cost-shared projects. It is recommended that the Bloor by the Park BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $82,500 and a BIA levy of $82,500 be approved.

The Bloorcourt Village BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management on October 12, 2010 and its general membership on November 8, 2010. The proposed budget reflects the BIA's 2011 priorities to hire a BIA coordinator and implement the streetscape recommendations. The balanced budget with expenditures of $157,694 will be funded by revenues from a BIA levy of $140,076; the appeal provision surplus of $5,868 that the City is returning to the BIA; an anticipated grant of $5,000 from the City’s Mural Program for a mural project; $6,500 in GST/HST recoveries and $250 of interest income. The proposed budget provides funding for marketing and promotional events such as the BIG on Bloor street festival; new banners and a mural; increased capital maintenance; an administrator to implement various projects and general BIA administration. An operating surplus of $13,562 is forecasted in 2010 resulting from a downsized summer festival. It is recommended that the Bloorcourt Village BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $157,694 and a BIA levy of $140,076 be approved.

The Bloor Street BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management on September 29, 2010 and its general membership on November 2, 2010. The 2011 budget consists of a special levy of $1,650,000 on the Bloor Street BIA members for the Bloor Street Transformation Project (BSTP). As well, the Bloor-Yorkville BIA will make an annual contribution of $250,000 towards the project. From the 2011 levies, $150,000 or 10% of the BIA levy will go towards the provision for assessment appeal reductions that is held by the City, and $990,872 towards repayment of the loan and interest as per the payment schedule in the Agreement for repayment of recoverable debt and agreed financing of the BSTP signed on June 25, 2008. The Agreement also calls for an annual contribution of $30,000 to the BSTP Maintenance Reserve Fund held by the City for future repairs/replacement of the granite pavers. Other budgeted capital expenditures include ongoing design fees, project and construction management fees, and consultant fees for installation of artwork that amounts to

Page 7: BIA - 2011 Operating Budgets - Toronto · Staff report for action on 2011 BIA Operating Budgets: Report No. 1 4 The Eglinton Way September 1, 2010 October 6, 2010 The Kingsway October

$372,000 and additional granite work costing $500,000. With the installation of additional granite planters, an increased budget of $390,000 is required to complete Phases 1 and 2 of the planting program in 2011. Upon completion of the BSTP project, the BIA will be having a grand opening event estimated to cost $450,000. In order to provide a balanced budget and meet obligations, the BIA will use $1,138,938 of prior years’ levies on hand. These funds, together with Bloor-Yorkville BIA’s contribution, will go towards funding final BSTP project details, a grand opening party, ongoing advertising, flowers and floral care for the planters, administrative expenses and address the appeal provision deficit of $54,066. It is recommended that the Bloor Street BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures of $3,041,938 and a BIA levy of $1,650,000 be approved.

The Bloor-Yorkville BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management on September 29, 2010 and its general membership on November 2, 2010. The proposed budget reflects the BIA's focus on ongoing beautification and promotion of the Bloor-Yorkville commercial neighbourhood. The key focus of the organization is to run events and promotions to draw people to the area, as well as maintaining and improving the area, so that it is attractive and welcoming to visitors. The proposed budget of expenditures for general BIA administration, capital maintenance, marketing, advertising and promotion is similar to 2010 budget levels. Planned capital cost-shared projects to be undertaken in 2011 include the implementation of Phase 2 of the granite benches project and installation of custom bike rings. Since the Bloor-Yorkville BIA is committed to contributing $5.0 million to the Bloor Street Transformation Project (BSTP) over 20 years, included in the 2011 budget of capital expenditures is the BIA’s annual contribution of $250,000 towards the BSTP. To fund the gross expenditures that total $1,992,895 and produce a balanced budget of expenses and revenues, the BIA proposes to increase the levy requirement by 5% to $1,814,943. The levy increase compensates for the smaller appeal provision surplus of $45,094 that the City is returning to the BIA in 2011. To limit the BIA levy increase to 5% and to fund the two capital cost-shared projects, the BIA will use $79,858 of prior year's surplus funds. In addition, the BIA expects other revenues including $50,000 in sponsorships of events and $3,000 of interest income. The BIA is projecting an operating surplus of $118,612 in 2010, resulting from higher than expected sponsorship revenue and underspending in all areas. It is recommended that the Bloor-Yorkville BIA’s 2011 budget of gross expenditures totalling $1,992,895 and a BIA levy of $1,814,943 be approved.

The Chinatown BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management on September 1, 2010 and its general membership on October 6, 2010. The BIA proposes a balanced budget having capital and operating expenditures totalling $287,081 and the same amount in revenues comprised of a levy requirement of $206,643, the appeal provision surplus of $9,938 that will be returned to the BIA, Toronto Chinatown Festival sponsorships of $40,000 and other revenues of $8,000. The expenditure budget reflects the BIA's ongoing initiatives, including the Cavalcade of Lights, security, pest control and the Toronto Chinatown Festival. As well, the BIA plans to install anti-graffiti pole sleeves throughout Chinatown; this capital cost-shared project was deferred from 2010 to 2011. The 2011 budget for the Toronto Chinatown Festival is

Page 8: BIA - 2011 Operating Budgets - Toronto · Staff report for action on 2011 BIA Operating Budgets: Report No. 1 4 The Eglinton Way September 1, 2010 October 6, 2010 The Kingsway October

now broken out between festival revenue and festival expenses, to be compliant with proper accounting practices, whereas prior years' budgets and actuals showed only a net budget for the festival. An operating surplus of $21,165 is projected in 2010, mainly resulting from the deferral of the capital project. The $22,500 in funds for this anti-graffiti pole sleeves project is being carried forward into 2011. It is recommended that the Chinatown BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $287,081 and a BIA levy of $206,643 be approved.

The Corso Italia BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management and its general membership both held on October 26, 2010. The 2011 proposed budget reflects the BIA's priorities to undertake new and continue projects that will bring shoppers back to St. Clair Corso Italia, from beautification to graffiti removal, to have seasonal events on relevant dates of the year, to embellishment of the streetscape and make it more attractive to consumers going to shop or simply walking about in the St. Clair Corso Italia area. The 2011 proposed budget of $322,548 in expenditures is $51,000 or 19% greater than in 2010. Budget allocations include $43,650 for general BIA administration as more BIA coordinator services will be required; $33,000 for streetscape improvement capital cost-shared projects such as banner and hanging basket hardware, flower planters and gateway features; $10,000 for new banners; $58,975 for increased capital maintenance and graffiti removal; $139,300 for marketing, increased advertising and seasonal promotional events and festivals; and $15,000 to develop a more relevant consumer oriented website. The BIA proposes to maintain the same levy as in 2010, but use $38,000 of accumulated funds earmarked for capital cost-shared projects and use the appeal provision surplus of $23,692 that the City is returning to the BIA in 2011, as well as $12,000 of GST/HST recoveries. A projected operating surplus of $55,291 is expected in 2010 resulting from the receipt of a $30,000 Shop St. Clair grant from the City and discontinuing the branding project. It is recommended that the Corso Italia BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $322,548 and a BIA levy of $248,856 be approved.

The Crossroads of the Danforth BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management and its general membership both held on October 14, 2010. The BIA proposes a balanced budget having expenditures of $78,115 and revenues from a BIA levy requirement similar to that in 2010 and the appeal provision surplus of $3,888 that the City is returning. Other revenues anticipated include $1,129 in sponsor-ships of the BIA's summer festival and $7,173 in GST/HST recoveries. Proposed expenditures include $34,324 for general BIA administration; an increased budget of $19,210 for flowers, winter greenery and floral care, capital maintenance and graffiti removal; and $18,588 for increased advertising, marketing and an expanded Summer Festival promotional event. The proposed operating budget reflects the BIA’s priorities to improve the commercial vitality and viability of the area by expanding its existing commercial business base through organization and collaboration, identity branding and undertake new marketing initiatives and streetscape improvements. It is recommended that the Crossroads of the Danforth BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $78,115 and a BIA levy of $65,925 be approved.

The Dovercourt Village BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management and its general membership both held on October 13, 2010. The proposed budget reflects the BIA's 2011 priority to implement solar pedestrian scale lighting, a capital cost-shared project. This project is funded in part by $10,000 of funds already accumulated for this purpose. The BIA proposes to maintain a similar levy as in 2010 to fund the capital project, capital maintenance, and general BIA administration. To provide a balanced budget, the BIA will utilize the appeal provision surplus of $600 and $200 of expected interest income. An operating surplus of $1,047 is forecasted at 2010 year-end from not producing a proposed newsletter; these funds will be saved for future capital cost-shared projects. It is recommended that the Dovercourt Village BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $17,578 and a BIA levy of $6,778 be approved.

The Downtown Yonge BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management on September 28, 2010 and its general membership on November 10, 2010. The proposed 2011 budget follows from the Board and BIA management team’s Strategic Plan; the budget seeks to continue the BIA’s core initiatives that focus on clean streets, safety, marketing, and streetscape improvements. At the same time, the budget also continues to focus on association management, research and information, and advocacy. The budget provides for increased investment in Downtown Yonge’s signature Winter Magic events during the holiday season, a critical time for retail and hospitality. Streetscape improvement projects include continuation of the pedestrian lighting project – final Phase IV; installation of trees and tree gratings, electrical service duct installations; and developing streetscape technical designs for the Victoria/Dundas Square area. Overall, the total levy of $2,393,542 represents an increase of $126,674 which is a 5.6% increase over the 2010 budget.

It is recommended that the Uptown Yonge BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $118,297 and a BIA levy of $115,360 be approved.

The Village of Islington BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management on August 4, 2010 and its general membership on October 6, 2010. Since 2004 the Village of Islington BIA has produced 17 larger-than-life, exceptional-quality murals and these amazing works are beginning to attract tourists. The primary focus of the 2011 budget is to add to this mural collection, promote the area as a destination through events such as "Paint the Street!" and the production of a 2011 Mural Calendar, and to enhance the pedestrian experience within the BIA by repairing or replacing damaged street furniture. The BIA proposes to maintain a similar levy as in 2010 to fund planned BIA capital projects (benches; banners; tree lighting), advertising and promotional activities, capital maintenance, and general BIA administration expenditures. The mural project is funded by $52,089 of Section 37 monies that the BIA received for this purpose. The BIA also expects one-time funding of $5,000 from the City’s Mural Program for its mural project. The Paint the Street Festival is expected to generate $10,000 of sponsorship revenue to help defray event costs; and based on prior year experience, the BIA expects to secure $10,000 in sponsorships for the production of its 2011 mural calendar. The BIA also anticipates other revenues of $4,200 and the return of the appeal provision surplus of $920 held by the City. It is recommended that the Village of Islington BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $177,850 and a BIA levy of $95,641 be approved.

Staff report for action on 2011 BIA Operating Budgets: Report No. 1 18

The Yonge-Lawrence Village BIA 2011 Operating Budget was approved at meetings of the BIA’s Board of Management on August 10, 2010 and its general membership on October 27, 2010. The BIA proposes to maintain the same levy as in 2010 to fund the expanded Spring Festival, continue with the “reusable shopping bag” giveaway promotion, ongoing advertising and other promotional events, capital maintenance, and general BIA administration in 2011. Capital cost-shared projects continuing into 2011 include purchasing more street banners and sidewalk benches. To provide a balanced budget, in addition to the levy, the BIA expects other revenues such as sponsorships and interest income totalling $7,200, GST/HST recoveries of $16,649 and use $8,000 of accumulated funds earmarked for capital projects. The 2011 budget reflects the BIA's priority to advertise and promote the area by the allocation of $86,456 or 43% of total budgeted expenditures. The BIA has an appeal provision deficit of $6,334 which will be funded by the 2011 levies. It is recommended that the Yonge-Lawrence Village BIA’s 2011 budget of expenditures totalling $223,045 and a BIA levy of $191,196 be approved.
