2025 Capital Budget and Long Term Plan
Report Number:
2024-012
Summary This report serves to update the Committee with the 2025 Recreation capital budget submission. Recommendation This Report is for information purposes only. Background Municipalities set annual budgets that guide capital and operational spending and projects for the year. The 2025 budget will be presented to Council and deliberated in December. Staff have prepared a budget submission based on the Recreation, Parks, and Leisure Master Plan, Building Condition Assessment, and operational needs. The Recreation, Parks, and Leisure Master Plan has several large-scale project recommendations. For larger capital projects, a medium and long-term financial plan is required to budget for and prepare to undertake such projects. Staff will soon be drafting a 5-10 year Recreation & Leisure Capital Plan that will meet the needs of council and the community for park and rec capital projects. This plan will be instrumental in informing the Corporate Long Rang Financial plan (LRFP) used to build annual budgets and updated annually to reflect any changes. The Capital plan will be driven by several resources (not inclusive): •
• • •
Current LRFP budgets • $800,000 per year baseline for existing Facilities • $220,000 per year baseline for Land and Parks which includes parks, recreation amenities, and boat launches An updated Facilities Building Condition Assessment (pending completion end of November 2024) The Recreation, Parks, and Leisure Master Plan and through Consultation with the Recreation Advisory Committee Councils Strategic Direction www.southfrontenac.net South Frontenac is a welcoming and thriving rural community.
