Transit Service Area Budget Adjustments The proposed transit service area budget was prepared with the expectation of full year operation of phase one of the Mississauga Transitway in 2014 and a fuel price increase based on mid-year diesel fuel pricing. Based on recent developments the following budget adjustments are proposed: Mississauga Transitway Operating Cost Adjustment ($-350K) The delay in the opening the Transitway will result in savings in station and roadway maintenance costs. The delay will generate a one time saving of $350k in 2014 . MiWay Diesel Fuel Budget Increase Adjustment ($-350K) Based on mid-year pricing the 2014 budget was prepared with a fuel price of $1.04 per litre which resulted in a increase of $1.7M. In consideration of current pricing and the outlook for 2014 an average price of $1.02 is recommended yielding a budget reduction of $350K. The pricing for 2015/16 will be reviewed in the next business planning cycle to account for rapidly changing market conditions in North America. 1 Proposed Budgets Impact on Residential Tax Bill Region of Peel’s Budget is now forecast at 1.5% or 0.6% on the Total Tax Bill 2014 ($Millions) % Change $382.6 3.2% Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan $2.8 0.8% Capital Infrastructure Levy and Debt Repayment Levy $7.4 2.0% UTM Funding $1.0 0.3% Total Proposed Budget Mississauga Transitway Operating Cost Adjustment $393.8 6.3% ($0.35) (0.1%) Miway Diesel Fuel Budget Adjustment ($0.35) (0.1%) Adjusted Proposed Budget $393.1 6.1% Description Proposed Budget Excluding Special Purpose Levies Total Impact on Residential City’s Portion Tax Bill of (including Residential Region and Tax Bill Education) 1.9% 2.5% 1.8% 2.4% 2
