2015 Strategic Plan Page 1
Strategic planning systematically addresses the County’s purpose, internal and external environment, value to stakeholders, plans for action and long term financial planning. The plan outlines how the County of Simcoe will achieve the Vision and Mission, based on our values. The Strategic Plan serves as a roadmap that will take us from where we are today to where we want to be in the coming years.
Recognizing this, the County developed such a plan, as well as instituted a process that allows updates to the plan to ensure it meets the changing needs of the community. It builds upon the direction of previous strategic plans and is supported by the strategic directions and initiatives.
The County of Simcoe’s Strategic Planning process is the cornerstone of our business model. It is the foundation upon which the Business Plans and the annual budget are based.
We believe that to allocate available resources, we must understand the needs and desires of the residents of the County and the environmental factors that affect us.
By looking ahead and asking our stakeholders what they need, we establish a vision for what level of service we will provide, along with an understanding of what resources will be necessary to provide them.
The result is a Strategic Plan that helps the County establish priorities and make informed decisions while:
Improving Performance Promoting forward looking focus Communicating to everyone “What is Important” Providing Direction Managing Risk
INTRODUCTION
What is Strategic Planning?
A Process to establish priorities on what will be accomplished in the future
Forces choices to be made on what will be done and what will not be done
Pulls the entire organization together around a single plan
Gives a broad outline on where resources will be allocated
“Having a strategic plan is as important to our future as architectural plans are to building a house”
2015 Strategic Plan Page 2
2015 Strategic Planning Workshop purpose was to:
1. Evaluate our Vision statement
2. Revisit our Mission statement
3. Consider our Core Values
4. Develop the Strategic Directions
5. Re-align the Strategic Plan
6. Review strategic initiatives report card
7. Review the Long Term Financial Plan 2016-2025
8. Direction on the 2016 budget assumptions and 2014 surplus allocation
These statements serve as the basis for developing strategic directions which align with our service delivery functions.
Council determines what Strategic Directions are most critical to
our future, then reviews the available resources and the strategic
directions are confirmed.
Strategic Plan Alignment After Council sets the strategic directions, County departments
expand on the strategic directions by developing goals and
initiatives to align with the Strategic Plan to fulfill the strategic
vision. This provides a linkage between the Vision, Mission,
Strategic Directions and department’s activities to achieve the
desired results.
Strategic Plan Process consists of:
1. Strategic Planning Workshop
2. Strategic Plan Alignment
3. Strategic Initiatives update
4. Term of the Strategic Plan
5. Use of the Strategic Plan
6. Updating the Long Term Financial Plan

Strategic Initiatives Report Card
The “Strategic Initiatives Report Card”, is intended to
communicate progress towards the strategic plan, while
allowing opportunity to evaluate and revise the supporting
strategies and actions.
The Strategic Initiatives Report Card is provided to Council
annually, to outline the progress on strategic initiatives and
the County’s progress in addressing the strategic directions.
Term of the Strategic Plan
The STRATEGIC PLAN is intended to guide the County of
Simcoe for a 10 year planning horizon. Four-year goals
specify the priorities and directions to be focused on and
reflect the planning cycles during Council’s term.
However, this is a dynamic and evolving plan, created using
an assessment of the environment at a specific point in time.
As issues, challenges, trends and opportunities emerge,
Council has the opportunity to update the Long Term
Financial Plan and Strategic Plan to reflect environment
changes and to ensure Council’s priorities and directions are
addressed.
Use of the Strategic Plan
The STRATEGIC PLAN is intended to be used to:
1. Align decision making by working towards the achievement of common goals with consistent overarching Vision and Strategic Directions
2. To direct the development of department business plans and budgets

Framework for Delivering Results
STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS represent the priorities and desired
results to be achieved in support of the Vision.
Each Strategic Direction contains “Where do we want to be”
at the end of Council’s term. “How do we get there?”
outlines our strategies and initiatives that support the
strategic direction.
The Strategic Initiatives Report Card will assist in measuring
progress towards the Vision.
The Strategic Business Plan includes planned service levels,
capital projects, debt levels and revenue sources that reflect
the County’s mission and strategic objectives.

LONG-TERM
FINANCIAL PLAN
JUNE 2015
R E V I S E D
2015 Strategic Plan Page 11
Projected Long Term Financial Plan The Long Term Financial Plan is a forecast based on the previously approved strategic directions along with any new initiatives approved by Council. The Long Term Financial Plan has been developed for both the operating and capital programs based on the forecasted needs for each program and/or service delivery areas. Departments consider capital expenditures based on the need to maintain service levels.
The long term planning objective is to reflect the County’s mission and strategic objectives in a strategic financial plan that includes planned service levels, capital projects, debt levels and revenue sources. The Long Term Financial Plan is a high level view, based on known or evidence based assumptions and is updated annually or as significant events occur.
The financial plan also serves as a framework for County departments to align their goals and strategies, making budgetary decisions more consistent, sustainable and transparent.
It is important to recognize that the actual results will differ from the long range projections due to its high level nature and changing economic & political environments. Nevertheless, the Long Term Financial Plan will allow Council and management to better anticipate and adjust for long term needs and requirements.
This multi-year projection looks at the County’s fiscal needs over the next 10 years and is the foundation for long-term financial planning. It is important since it provides context for the annual budget review process and is essential to meeting the goal of sustainable infrastructure and services planning.
The Strategic Planning process is an integrated cycle of planning, budgeting/forecasting and reviewing results. The foundations of these forward looking processes are the County’s Strategic Directions and Long Term Financial Plan. By remaining focused on the strategy, we ensure that our plans, budgets, and forecasts reflect the actions and activities necessary to achieve our strategic objectives and targets, and will ensure that the County remains in a sound financial position and can maintain services to the public on an ongoing basis.
2015 Strategic Plan Page 12
Financial Principles The County has recognized the need to adopt an approach to financial management, one that shifts the emphasis from bottom line financial concerns to service delivery with a longer term financial planning horizon.
The Long-Term Financial Plan Principles include:
1. Ensure Long-Term Financial Sustainability Determine on a multi-year basis the financial requirements
for operating and capital needs Identify any funding gap between revenues and
expenditures Ensure there are sufficient revenues to meet long-term
operating and financial requirements and balance spending with revenues
Plan for the replacement of assets and maintenance of assets through asset management and replacement reserves
Maintain existing service levels Keep tax levy impact within cost indices
2. Deliver services in a cost-effective and efficient manner Undertake reviews of programs on a regular basis to ensure
services are delivered in a cost effective and efficient manner
Identified and implement efficiencies Provide sustainable service levels
3. User Fees Ensure that user fees recover program operating costs
4. Manage capital assets to maximize long-term community benefit Maintain the County’s assets in a ‘state of good repair' by
implementing asset management plans
5. Implement a capital funding plan to address the County’s requirements Identify and plan for new asset requirements Develop debt financing program to address the County’s
capital needs Ensure debt terms are consistent with the life of the asset
6. Maintain reserves at appropriate levels Establish reserves to provide funding for future asset
7. Prudent Investment Management
Invest the County’s reserves to achieve optimum return within appropriate risk tolerances

Principles &
Policies
Financial
Principles
2015 Strategic Plan Page 13
Key Inputs and Assumptions
Plans, Acts and Regulations: The long term financial plan reflects the strategic initiatives and investment in Simcoe County. A number of planning processes, multi-year master plans and Acts, in addition to Ministry regulations drive the development of the long term financial plan. Major elements include:
County of Simcoe Strategic Plan Transportation Master Plan Simcoe County Official Plan Solid Waste Management Strategy Long Term Financial Plan Development Charge Background Study Development Charge Act Ontario Planning Act Social Housing Act Long Term Care Act Ambulance Act Environmental Protection Act Ontario Provincial Standards
Economic Outlook: The economic prospects for the County of Simcoe are expected
to remain good per Standard & Poor’s (S&P) report at the time of
the County’s credit rating review. The credit rating firm provided
the following; “County of Simcoe 'AA' Rating, Affirmed based on
low and manageable debt levels and strong liquidity position; and
changed the outlook from Stable to Positive”.
Provincial Subsidies:
As a major source of revenue, Provincial subsidies are assumed
to continue at the current known and committed levels. Costs of
providing provincially mandated services are based on Ministry
regulations and guidelines and have been increased to reflect a
2% inflation factor. Excluding inflation factor, costs remain the
same to maintain programs at current service levels.
Development charges and reserve funds:
Development Charges are fees imposed against development to
pay for costs due to increased needs for services arising from
growth-related development in the County. The rates for these
fees are developed based on the growth forecasts and needs
requirements within the County. Various long term plans have
been utilized to develop future rates; these include the
Transportation Master Plan and the Official Plan.
Key Inputs and
Assumptions
2015 Strategic Plan Page 14
A requirement of the Public Sector Accounting principles of the Canadian
Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) is that obligatory reserve funds
be reported as deferred revenue. This requirement is in place as
legislation and external agreements restrict how these funds may be used
and under certain circumstances these funds may possibly be refunded.
Monies received from payment of development charges under the
Development Charge bylaw shall be maintained in specific reserve funds
and interest is allocated to each of the reserves increasing their balances.
Included in the long term financial plan are development charge receipts
that are based on current experience. Incremental increases over the
next 5 years are included to return to the 2011 development charge
background study projected receipt levels.
Growth related project costs identified in the development charge
background study have been included with adjustments for costs and
timing of project work. At the end of 2014 development charges had a
negative balance and are being funded internally. The 2014 balance for
the negative development charges is $28.3 million. These amounts will
be replenished when the development charge receipts are received.
Asset Management Plan:
Ontario municipalities are required to develop asset management plans
to accompany any request for provincial infrastructure funding. Staff has
developed an asset management plan that outlines the state of the local
infrastructure including an asset inventory listing identifying various
attributes of an asset such as the asset condition and replacement cost
estimates. The asset management plan provides desired level of
service, an asset management strategy and a financing strategy.
The Strategic Plan is in line with the asset management plan as they have
the common goal of providing a strong and comprehensive strategy to
provide high quality services to residents. Both plans ensure County
infrastructure and capital assets are well managed and maintained. This
is attainable by conducting long range infrastructure planning that
focuses on proper maintenance of the County’s current assets and
includes forecasts of long term capital needs.
Debt Capacity:
The County has a current debt service capacity of $39.7 million available
per year for payments relating to debt and financial obligations under
provincial guidelines based on the 2013 Financial Information Return.

Period Maximum Borrowing
20 years $495M 15 years $412M 10 years $307M 5 years $172M
General:
Tax Levy increase of 2.0% per year - based on maintaining existing service levels
Provision of 1% for Strategic land purchases has been included 2016-2020
Provision of 1% for Economic Development 2016-2020 has been included

Non-residential index annual increase of 2% Utilities projected increases (Hydro 3.3%, Natural Gas
3.5%, Water 2%) Salaries & Benefits are based on current contracts,
non-union compensation plan Municipal Property Assessment Corporate increase of
2% per year Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit increase of 2% per
year Lake Simcoe Regional Airport increase of 2% per year Hospital Alliance grant of $3M per year Post-secondary funding of $1.5M per year $2 million contingency reserve allocation per year Cost sharing with the Cities of Barrie and Orillia are
estimated based on the current agreement
FTE’s: The Staffing requirement for FTE’s have been projected to meet departmental objectives. An FTE is calculated by determining the total staffing hours required to provide the service and dividing this by a full time employee work hours.
Key Inputs and
Assumptions
2015 Strategic Plan Page 16
Health and Emergency Services:
Long Term Care
Long Term Care provincial subsidies and user fees are estimated using historical trends at 2%.
Paramedic Services
Paramedic call volume is projected to increase by approximately 80% over the next 10 years. In line with this call volume, staffing was projected to increase by 38% which is lower than call volume growth because it incorporates expected deployment efficiencies. The last five years of staffing growth within the financial plan was further reduced to anticipate the results of current programs that are being put it place to mitigate call volume growth. This results growth of 31% or an addition of the 69 FTE in Paramedic Services over the 10 year plan.
Paramedic facility projects have been adjusted for timing and cost estimates. The shared first responder’s campus in Barrie is included in 2019.
Social and Community Services:
Social Housing New Investment in Affordable Housing Program (IAHE)
funding/payments have been included in the long term plan with timing based on program delivery and fiscal plan.
The Simcoe County Housing Corporation has included a building project totaling $20 million to be built in 2017/2018 and is partially offset by provincial funding, development charges, reserves and cost sharing with the cities of Barrie and Orillia.
Non Profit Housing reflects the financial impact of Non-Profit Housing Providers capital reserve shortfall and end of operating agreement and mortgages. Housing Providers will be able to access loans from the County to address capital repairs.
Transfer to reserve of $2 million annually to fund the County’s portion of the Non Profit Social housing provider capital loans. In years where the requirement is higher than the available transfer from reserve, there is an increase in levy requirement.
Ontario Works
Ontario Works caseloads are projected to remain at current levels.
Upload of Ontario Works client benefits by 2018. Ontario Works 50% Provincial funding of administration has
been assumed.
Key Inputs and
Assumptions
2015 Strategic Plan Page 17
Engineering, Planning and Environment:
Roads Federal Gas Tax funding of $80 million has been used for
roads rehabilitation and capital projects.
Select major roads construction projects have been condensed as much as possible in order to minimize the construction time impact on residents. This occurs in 2016 and 2017.
Roads Construction has incorporated the current Transportation Master Plan. Roads Construction capital projects are estimated at $378 million over the next 10 years and will be partially offset by development charges and reserves.
Roads reflects an increase in lane kilometres in addition to growth related projects 190.4 lane KM’s uploaded to the County network,
over the next 10 years 80.6 lane KM’s added over the next 10 years from
roads construction projects (i.e. CR90, CR 4).
Solid Waste Management
Transfer to reserves of $2.8 million annually to fund future capital projects.
Construction of Organics Processing facility for $27 million of which $25 million is planned for 2018-2019 and operational in 2020.
Materials Management facility was previously reserved and is forecasted to be completed in 2017 – 2018 and operational in 2019.
Key Inputs and
Assumptions
2015 Strategic Plan Page 18
Overview
The Long Term Baseline plan contemplates total expenditures of $453 million in 2016, potentially increasing to $500 million in 2025, to maintain existing service levels.
Assuming a tax rate increase of 2.0% per year, funding of $442 million in 2016 is anticipated, increasing to $539 million in 2025.
An average surplus of $14 million is projected, made up of an average operating balance of $34 million. Offsetting the projected average operating balance of $34 million is average net capital requirement of $20 million. Development charge unfinanced capital is projected to have a deficit of $65 million at the beginning of 2016, and $107 million in 2025.
The Long Term Financial Plan provides for an investment of approximately $556 million into major capital works from 2016 through to 2025. Roads construction capital projects make up $378 million of the total investment.
As indicated in the Cash Flow Statement, short term financing of up to $45 million is anticipated in 2016 and 2017 to allow for select major construction projects to be condensed as much as possible in order to minimize the construction time impact on residents. Such financing may comprise of short term debt, long term debt or unfinanced capital. However, based on projections the debt can be repaid by 2024.
This long term financial plan will allow Council to better understand what financial requirements exist, and what resources are available. The pressures facing the County and it’s member municipalities are significant. By focusing on the long term, the Long Term Financial Plan will ensure that the County will continue to be in a strong financial position and can finance public services on an on-going basis.
