Committee Recommendations, as Amended

 

 

That Council approve the following:

 

1.      That the Interim Process and Guiding Principles identified in Appendix 1 be implemented for the allocation of one-time project grants in 2001.

 

2.      That the undesignated funds in the amount of $199,260 identified in Appendix 2, be allocated for one-time recreation, special and sport events and youth project grants in 2001 in a manner which is consistent with and respects the intent of former municipalities in which the funds are identified.

 

1.      Given the approximate $2.8 million in requests for funding from the City’s community partner agencies to meet the growing needs of a growing city, that Council approve $1 million to meet these health, recreation and social service needs; and,

            Further that this be funded as follows:

·        $350,000 reduction in the social assistance caseload budget, reflecting the already achieved decline in 2001;

·        $1.95 million ($650,000/year for three years) be allocated from the 2000 regional government surplus to secure this funding for the 2001, 2002 and 2003 budgets; and,

            Further that staff evaluate the proposals, priorize them and make recommendations to Committee and Council on the disbursement of the $1 million, based on principles including:

·        unavoidable cost increases;

·        responding to crisis/urgent situations;

·        building community capacity.

 

4.         That authority be delegated to the Allocations Committee established by People Services Department for the allocation of the one-time project grant funds in 2001.

·        que 1 950 000 $ (650 000 $ par année pendant trois ans) soit alloué du surplus du gouvernement régional de 2000 afin d’assurer ce financement pour les budgets de 2001, 2002, 2003;

en outre, que le personnel évalue les propositions, en établisse la priorité et présente des recommandations au Comité et au Conseil municipal quant au déboursement de 1 000 000 $ sur la base de principes incluant :

BACKGROUND

 

In the preparation of this report, staff have followed the direction of the Ottawa Transition Board and assumed that there were no new dollars available for either the  new one-time project grants or the Sustaining and Purchase of Service grants.

 

Existing Purchase of Services and Sustaining Grants

 

Following the direction of the Ottawa Transition Board, People Services has maintained a continuation of funding to existing organizations receiving Purchase of Service and Sustaining Grant funding based on the approved 2000 budget levels.  Information identifying these organizations and the amount of funding to be received in 2001 was forwarded to the Mayor and Members of Council on February 12, 2001.

 

Requests for Levels of Funding:

 

Increased Purchase of Service and Sustaining Grant

 

The Ottawa Transition Board also informed organizations that requests for increased or new funding would be received and considered based upon the submission of a business plan proposal.  A number of requests for additional funding have been received.  Please refer to Appendix 4 for details.  Additional funds have not been included in the People Services budget to accommodate these requests in 2001.

 

 

New One-Time Project Grants

 

With respect to one-time project grants, each former municipality included in their respective budgets an undesignated grant-funding envelope to accommodate these requests.  A total of $199,260 has been identified across the former municipalities for one-time project grants, of which $20,450 has been committed prior to 2001 leaving $178, 810.00 to be allocated.  Twenty-eight requests for new one-time project grant funding have been received.  The total funding request for these 28 projects is $637,305.  Many of these are from organizations in the former municipalities relating to recreation, special events, sporting events and youth initiatives.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Each former municipality allocated undesignated grant funds according to their respective criteria and approval process.  The application and approval process varied from one former municipality to another.  The majority of former municipalities involved staff in conducting an initial review of the requests and submitting recommendations to committees or senior staff.  In some former municipalities such as Gloucester, Goulbourn and Kanata, funds were available on an ad hoc basis to respond to these type of requests received at any time of the year.  The majority of project funding of requests related to recreation, sporting groups, special events and initiatives for youth.

 

The funding process for one-time project grants needs to be streamlined in a consistent manner for the new City of Ottawa. It is proposed that, in 2001, and to the degree possible, that the allocation of new one-time project funds from the former municipalities reflect the criteria, guidelines and intent of the former municipality.

 

The One-Time Project Grants funding process involved in the former Region of Ottawa-Carleton was formalized with specific criteria, guidelines, and deadlines for application.  These funds have been allocated through the Health and Social Services Allocations Committee according to the identified process.  The funds now available from the former, lower-tier municipalities should be allocated in a similar manner which maintains the integrity and intended target groups of the former processes.  This would require the funds available to be directed toward, recreation, special events, sporting events and youth initiatives on a one-time basis.

 

The new amalgamated Funding Framework is expected to be before Committee and Council in June/July of 2001.

 

 

RURAL IMPLICATIONS

 

Purchase of Services, Sustaining Grants and One-Time Project Grants are funded throughout the new City of Ottawa.

 


 

CONSULTATION

 

People Services sent information on January 4, 2001 to all organizations receiving Purchase of Services and Sustaining Grant funding confirming a continuation of funding in 2001 at approved 2000 budget levels.

 

All requests for new or increased levels of the funding have been received and tracked.  Communication as to status of the requests will be forwarded to applicants.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

 

Funds for the continuation of existing Purchase of Services and Sustaining Grants in 2001 at approved 2000 budget levels are within the People Services budget.

 

Funds in the amount of $199,260.00 are available for one-time project grants allocations in 2001.

DISPOSITION

APPENDIX 1

 

PROPOSED ALLOCATIONS PROCESS FOR ONE-TIME PROJECT GRANTS

 

Background

 

The Community Funding and Development Division within the Innovation, Development and Partnership Branch of People Services reviewed the one-time project grants funding principles, guidelines and allocations process of all former municipalities.  Through this process, it was identified that all former municipalities have similar criteria and intent within varied allocations processes.  Each former municipality had its own application, approval process and payment schedules.  The type of projects and the amounts available also vary from one municipality to another.

 

Staff of the Community Funding and Development Division developed an interim process for the one-time project grants allocation for 2001. The allocations process of all former municipalities was reviewed to ensure that the interim process would allow enough flexibility to accommodate the needs and expectations of the communities and groups while drawing on the best practices.

 

The total funds available through this program amounts to $199,260.  The attached table (Appendix 2) identifies the amount and the different sources of these funds.  The list assumes that some envelopes, which are currently with other sources, will be assigned to Innovation, Development and Partnership Branch (IDP).  Sources of these funds are identified in the attached table.

 

Proposed Allocations Process

 

The objective is to develop a consistent process to allocate the one-time project grants in a fair and equitable manner.  This document proposes an interim process to allocate the funds budgeted for 2001.

 

Guiding Principles

 

The following principles would be applied to the Interim Allocations Process:

·        Recognition of any commitments or intent to fund by former municipalities

·        Reference to similar previous initiatives

·        Availability of optional sources of funding/no duplication of funding

·        Addressing gaps in services

·        No duplication of services

·        Recognition of services within the mandate of People Services

·        Community involvement

·        Respect for the process and criteria for grant allocations of former municipalities

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is recommended that:

 

1.      That an interim Allocations Committee be formed with delegated authority to allocate up to $199,260.

 

2.   That applications or requests from former municipalities be identified and reviewed respectively. That priority be given to eligible applications from the respective former municipalities.

 

3.   That in the event proposals from former municipalities do not meet the requirements or not enough proposals are received, available funds will be moved to a centralized funding envelope.

 

4.   That funds from the centralized envelope be allocated to city-wide projects.

 

5.   Information Report be prepared and submitted.

 


 

APPENDIX 2

One-Time Project Grants Inventory

Innovation, Development and Partnerships Branch

 

This table identifies all grant envelopes provided by former municipalities. Sources of funds are identified under comments.  Sources of funds not identified so far are being tracked by the Financial Services Unit.  An interim process which is developed to allocate the following funds in a manner that respects status quo commitment and takes into consideration respective municipalities’ funding guidelines and criteria is described on the attached Appendix I.
