This report outlines the recommended 2022 Solid Waste Management Services Rates and Fees arising from the adoption of the 2022 Solid Waste Management Services Operating and Capital Budgets. The recommended rate increase is consistent however fee increases will vary based on customer group and are highlighted in Table 1. Table 1 highlights the recommended key Solid Waste Management Services Rates and Fees effective January 1, 2022. Table 1 - 2022 Recommended Rates and Fees Increases (Effective January 1, 2022) Customer Group % Rate Increase Comments Multi-Residential 3.00% Maintain service levels and fund Capital Program Single Family and Residential Units Above Commercial (RUAC) 3.00% Maintain service levels and fund Capital Program Bag Tags, Bin Purchase 3.00% Maintain service levels and fund Capital Program Commercial, Divisions, Agencies and Corporations, Schools 3.00% Maintain service levels and fund Capital Program Blended Rate 3.00% The recommended three (3) per cent increase in Solid Waste Management Services Rates will provide and maintain Council Approved service levels unchanged from the prior year and fund the 2022 Capital Budget and 10-Year Capital Plan. The $15.546 million increase in 2022 operating expenditures over prior year is attributable to the increase in organic collection and processing costs due to volume and contractual inflation adjustments, increase in the Fleet Reserve contribution as per the vehicle replacement plan, reinstatement of advertising and promotion budgets that were previously reduced due to the prior year's provincial pandemic shutdown, start-up of the Dufferin Renewable Natural Gas Facility and increase in debt principal and interest payments to fund the 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan. The three (3) per cent utility rate increase for 2022 is recommended to maintain the contribution to Waste Management Reserve fund in line with last year's forecast to finance future capital investments, which include the construction of the third Anaerobic Digester, Landfill Gas Development or Energy from Waste initiatives and Dufferin Waste Facility Site Improvement. The 2022 Operating Budget expenditure is $390.966 million, representing an increase of $11.651 million or 3.1 percent increase over the prior year approved budget including a $13.157 million contribution to the Waste Management Reserve Fund, all of which are offset by total revenues of $390.966 million. The 2022 Capital Budget is $69.729 million including carry-forwards, which is comprised of $63.668 million in new 2022 funding and $6.061 million in funding carried forward from 2021 into 2022. The 2022 Capital Budget and Plan remains generally unchanged from last year focusing on the following key capital objectives and priorities for Solid Waste Management Services: - To safely and efficiently collect materials from 875,000 homes, business and public spaces by implementing Council's direction on health and safety by installing telematics solutions on vehicles in support of Vision Zero 2.0; - To manage 900,000 plus tonnes of material in an environmentally and fiscally sustainable manner which includes constructing a 3rd Anaerobic Digester to help address organics processing capacity constraints; - To continue investigating long-term disposal options including landfill capacity development and energy from waste and strategically using alternate landfill sites; - To continue to develop and invest in renewable energy such as Renewable Natural Gas facilities.

This is to advise that prior to Budget Committee on November 19, 2021, an Operating Variance Report for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, with additional analysis and recommendations will be submitted for consideration. Due to accelerating the agenda to ensure 2022 rate budget materials are publicly shared and to the additional complexity associated with analyzing financial implications of COVID-19 on operations, additional time is required to provide detailed review and analysis in advance of the Budget Committee meeting. The Operating Variance Report will contain operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as well as projections to year-end. The report will also request City Council's approval for required amendments to the 2021 Approved Operating Budget that have no impact on the City's 2021 Approved Net Operating Budget.

City Council approve the budget adjustments and any associated complement changes detailed in Appendix D1 to the report (November 19, 2021) from the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, to amend the 2021 Approved Operating Budget with no impact on the Net Operating Budget of the City, and approve the expenditure authority as detailed in Appendix D2 to the report (November 19, 2021) from the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.
