That with respect to Notice of Motion EC2025-0520, the following be adopted: NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council direct Administration to develop an Infrastructure Reinvestment Program specifically positioned to address the growing infrastructure service gap, with the following considerations: Identifying and consolidating stable and sustainable funding sources, including but not limited to utility rates, grants, property taxes, project reprioritization, and user fees; Reviewing current funds, such as the Reserve for Future Capital and Lifecycle Maintenance and Upgrade Merged account, and the attached funding sources, against programs in other jurisdictions, such as the Dedicated Renewal Fund in Edmonton; Solidifying clear criteria for prioritizing infrastructure reinvestment projects based on factors such as condition, risk, service levels, impacts on growth and alignment with strategic objectives; Matching reinvestment work with redevelopment opportunities and infrastructure upgrades with public infrastructure owners to minimize cumulative costs of lifecycle capital outlays; Ensuring transparency and accountability through regular reporting on program performance, expenditures, and outcomes; Exploring potential contributions from other orders of government to share risks and costs associated with infrastructure reinvestment, including intergovernmental communications, which estimate the economic benefit related to properly maintaining key City infrastructure; Providing recommendations for implementation, including timelines, resource requirements, and governance structures; Preparing a Council-mandated report, to be embedded in all future budgets, which outlines historic and forecasted reinvestment rates, future reinvestment rate recommendations, historic funding rates compared to inflation and connected outcomes to the Infrastructure Status Report. AND FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that Administration report back to Council with the proposed Infrastructure Reinvestment Program no later than Q3, 2026, to be considered as part of the 2027-30 four-year budget.
