Capping Provincial Subsidy on Infant Spaces
SUMMARY
The County of Lanark is the flow through organization for Provincial
Funding to Childcare in the County providing subsidy to parents in need.
They are proposing a cap on the daily rate that the Town of Carleton
Place has submitted for our infant program which is to be voted on at a
Community Services Committee Meeting of March 11th. This rate has
been calculated to be needed to get this program closer to a break even
position.
The Carleton Place Daycare is now into year 3 of transitioning to life
without the full day kindergarten program at our centre. This program
provided revenues of $700,000 with an estimated net contribution to the
other programs of $120,000. These funds allowed the centre a lower daily
rate for programs such as the infant program where the staffing
needs are the greatest at a ratio of 1 staff for 3 infants. In actual fact we
require 1.4 staff for 3 infants to cover the 10 hour day plus coverage for
paid time off. Our actual cost for the infant program which includes direct
staff, admin, building and dietary net of wage subsidies is approximately
$30 per hour of care.
The County received $1,500,000 a number of years ago to allow for this
transition by all centres, we have received 77K for each of the years 2013
& 2014 with 2015 being the last year. This being the last year was
confirmed by the County.
In light of the ending transition funding and the slow movement to possibly
change ratios of children to staff members (very controversial) we have
had to look at increasing our rates to programs. The one program where it
was very obvious that we were undercharging was the infant program.
Expenses
Cost per Day to provide Program
$300.00
Revenues at 95% occupancy
County states Province Average $156.75
CP current rate
$199.50
CP proposed rate
$270.75
$30 x 10 hours
$55 x 3 children
$70 x 3 children
$95 x 3 children
At this time the staff of the County have not provided us with information
with regards to amount of subsidy that was left from 2014. Approximately
22% ($34,999) of the cost of the infant program costs are currently funded
by the County.
Corporate Services Committee - April 21st, 2015 - Page 3
126099 Continued
UPDATE - March 17th, 2015
County CSM (Child Service Manager) is still verbally firm on capping the
infant rate due to concerns it will put extreme financial pressures on the
subsidy provided. No actual report has been prepared and has apparently
been deferred until April 2015.
Our proposal for the rate increase was provided to the County the 1st of
November 2014 and we have been told it was going to County Council for
a decision in February, March and now April.
We have met with County staff and have been informed that the County
will be sending back approximately $170,000 to the Province of unspent
funding for various items including subsidy not utilized. We have asked if
this is an annual thing that happens but have received no response to
date.
We have also been informed that $750,000 of the $1.5 Million of transition
funding is being held to provide for additional subsidy at some point in the
future. With the County sending back the annual money for subsidy it is
an indicator that a fund this size is not required and will likely remain
unused for years. We have suggested that perhaps these funds should
be utilized as additional transition funding out beyond 2015.
Carleton Place Staff have also put forward a proposal verbally to reduce
our earlier rate proposal of $95 dollars per day to $85 per day with a
reduction of service by ½ hour at the beginning and end of each day. We
have also suggested that we run with this new rate for a test period of 9
months to see what the actual impact is. No response to date.
From my review of the Ministry of Education website I can only see where
there are 26 other licensed infant spaces other than Carleton Place
currently being utilized in the County of Lanark at the present time.
UPDATE April 17th, 2015
A number of things have happened since March 17th to allow us to change
direction on our original request for a $95 per day rate for the time being
and at least through 2015 & 2016.
1)
The Province has announced that the Ratio’s of children to
teachers for the Before and After program will be modified this Fall.
This will allow for cost savings within the Daycare. A conservative
estimate of savings will be $50,000.
2)
The CSM (Children Service Manager) at the County is committed to
moving money from their current allocation of funding to that of a
General Operating Grant. Verbally the estimate provided was for
as much as $200,000 being moved with the Carleton Place share
Corporate Services Committee - April 21st, 2015 - Page 4
126099 Continued
being in the $30,000 to $40,000 for 2016. This is to be worked on
over the next several months with detailed data review in the Fall.
3)
County has agreed to an inflationary increase on the infant fees
from $70 per day to $72 per day. This will increase revenues by
approximately $5,000.
Information will need to be continually reviewed as we move into 2016 to
determine the needs to bring the Carleton Place Daycare to a better
financial position.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That Council amend the Fee Schedule for the provision of Daycare
Services for the Infant Program to $72 per full day and $60 per half day for
the year 2015 effective January 1, 2015.
That the municipality acknowledges the commitment by the CSM
(Children Service Manager for the County of Lanark) to transferring of
allocated monies to the General Operating Grant for 2016 and that the
information related to the calculation of this operating grant be provided to
Carleton Place Daycare in a timely manner to allow for rate calculations in
October. This timing is required in order to provide council approved 2016
Daycare rates for submission to the County by November 1st 2015.
COMMITTEE DECISION
That Council amend the Fee Schedule for the provision of Daycare
Services for the Infant Program to $72 per full day and $60 per half day for
the year 2015 effective January 1, 2015.

Budget 2015 - Reflecting PSAB Reporting
SUMMARY
Regulation 248/09 of the Municipal Act requires that Council pass a
motion that takes the traditional fund accounting budget which we have
already passed through a motion in January with an additional motion to
reflect the new PSAB methodology. The major differences include the
following:
Expenditure Reductions
Capital Expenditures not showing as expense
Principal Debt Payments are not showing as expense
Contributions to Reserves are not showing as expense

MVCA Debenture - Debt Capacity
SUMMARY
Documents are in order to proceed to debenture with a tentative date of
bringing these documents to Council on May 12th.
Municipal Affairs has indicated that the debenture will reduce the
borrowing capacity of the municipality. The annual payment on this
debt requires 6.7% of our debt capacity. We currently are using 16.5%
(paid off by 2025) of our debt capacity. This use of our capacity will not
impede the municipalities ability over the long term (needs for our debt
capacity in the 20 year time frame is no greater than 40% of our debt
capacity). The actual debt payment is being paid for by MVCA.
Corporate Services Committee - April 21st, 2015 - Page 7
126207 Continued
MAH has stated that if we wish to suggest changes to the repayment
limit calculations we could contact the Director of Municipal Finance
Policy Branch. As this would require changes to legislation it would not
be a short term solution.

Plan 6115 remains a legal plan of subdivision and has no registered
subdivision agreement. This means that, if any applications are made
to develop within this area, the Town of Carleton Place will be limited in
what they can ask in relation to any specific conditions typically
requested with a subdivision agreement or through the severance
process.
To deem a plan not to be a plan of subdivision a deeming by-law is
necessary. Staff has looked at the area to which Plan 6115 applies and
most of the lots have already been developed. On lots where there is a
potential to subdivide the severance process can be utilized to achieve
that purpose.
Notification to property owners is not required prior to the passing of the
by-law but the Town is required to provide notification of the passing
within 30 days of the decision to all the property owners within the
boundaries of Plan 6115. Property owners have the ability to petition
council to repeal their decision within 20 days of notification of the
decision.

UPDATE – April 21st, 2015
On March 10th, 2015 Council passed the Deeming By-law. Plan 6115
has been deemed to no longer be a plan of subdivision. No formal
complaints were registered. The removal of the plan of subdivision is to
be registered on all lots within plan 6115. Any division of lots within this
area will now be done through the severance process.

New Pumper
SUMMARY
The 2015 budget provides for the purchase of 2 new fire apparatus – a
rescue and a pumper. Construction of the rescue is underway with
Eastway 911, located here in Carleton Place, awarded the contract
following a competitive process. They were selected based on a price that
was 25% lower than the other bidder and a much shorter construction
time.
Eastway 911 has produced a proposal for the pumper and has asked if
the Town would consider awarding the contract to them on that basis.
Staff have made it clear that any decision on this would have to be made
by Council.
COMMENT
Staff supports the proposal for the following reasons:
1. Familiarity with the proponent – Eastway 911 or their predecessors
have built all our existing fire apparatus and we have always been
pleased with their performance. Having them build both trucks ensures
that they will be built the same way, with the same materials etc.
Planning and Protection Committee –April 21st, 2015 - Page 4
126212 Continued
2. Proven competitiveness – The previous proposal for the rescue
demonstrated that their pricing was superior to the other bidder and
their construction schedule was considerably shorter. The proposed
price is considerably less than our budget figure and will ensure that
the overall project (including the purchase of the new extrication
equipment) will be completed very close to budget.
3. Servicing capabilities – We have always benefitted from their local
availability when servicing or repairs were needed for the existing fleet.
4. Local economic benefit – Eastway 911 is an important part of our local
industrial team and awarding the contract to them will ensure that local
jobs are protected and other local businesses will enjoy any ‘filter
down’ benefits.
By-law 25-2010 (Procurement of Goods) normally requires a competitive
process for this type of contract, but Sec. 5.1 permits Council to allow
exceptions at their discretion.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That Council hereby authorizes the Director of Protective Services to
proceed with the purchase of a custom built pumper on a 2016 Spartan
Metrostar chassis from Eastway 911 Emergency Vehicles at a net cost of
$438,110 plus applicable taxes.
