BUDGET POSTPONED MOTION:
recommendation
That the 10-Year Capital Plan is updated to rescope PW-018 Public Works Satellite Yard Capital Charter to include a Take it or Leave it Facility.
body
Administration's Understanding of the Intent of the Motion:
Administration understands that this motion is to change the scope of 2025 PW-018 Public Works Satellite Yard charter for inclusion of a permanent Take It or Leave It type facility in the 2025-2034 Municipal Growth Capital Plan that will be evaluated through the prioritization matrix for consideration during the 2025 budget deliberation process.
Operational or Organizational Impacts if Motion is Approved:
Operation of a Take It or Leave It facility will require one (1) additional FTE in the Waste and Diversion branch.
Financial Implications of Motions:
Within the existing 10 Year Municipal Growth Capital Plan, Charter PW-018 is valued at $3,474,000 (2024). This includes $374,000 in 2025 for conceptual planning and design with $3,100,000 planned in 2026 for construction. The addition of a Take It or Leave It facility is anticipated to cost $977,000 plus contingency (50%) bringing the amended charter cost to $4,939,500.
Annual operational costs for the satellite yard are identified to be approximately $50,000. The addition of a Take It or Leave It facility would require approximately $150,000 annually, therefore combined $200,000 in annual costs would be required for both facilities.
