Legislation



Borrowing; Taxation, Fees, and charges; Budget and Annual
Reporting.
The LG Act (803.1) requires that all costs incurred by a RD in
relation to a service, including admin., are part of that service.
Each service is a “silo” and funds from one service can’t offset
another service.
 Service Establishment Bylaws
 Limits amount of taxation; sets scope of service; and
determines who pays
What Does the SCRD Do?

 Representation for the rural areas

SCRD represents 5 rural areas and 3 municipalities
 Framework for municipalities and rural areas to
collaborate
 Provide both regional and sub regional services
 The SCRD provides 41 distinct types of services
through 95 active functions (70 silos).

Base Budget Process
 Establish a “base” level of service and the costs
associated with providing that service - base is only what
is needed to run the service at that level approved by the
Board
 Budget Proposals are then presented for service
enhancements, special projects or reductions. Some
decisions are mandatory, involving safety, compliance or
imminent asset failure.
Financial Sustainability Policy
 Strategies used in 2013 budget process
 Cost Containment- Inflation
 Efficiencies & service level reductions
 Fees & charges- Keeping fees in line with costs
 Stabilization through operating and other reserves
 Capital - Longer-term planning
 One-time revenue sources- Surpluses
