OPERATING BUDGET
FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
A divisional operating surplus of $63,300 resulted for the year. Significant variances from budget are itemized
below:
On the revenue side, MNR transfer payments exceeded budget by $52,600 due to the receipt of supplementary
grants subsequent to the preparation of the 1992 budget. Rental property revenues exceeded the budget by
$120,000 because of unexpected revenue from temporary easements. The extra revenue made it unnecessary to
make use of reserve funds budgeted at $83,000.
Approximately $20,000 in additional expenditures were incurred to install a more efficient lighting system at the
Head Office which is expected to provide savings in future years. About $22,000 in expenditure reductions were
made by rental properties because of lowered use of contractors for repairs and lower than budgeted property
taxes.
WATER RESOURCES
A deficit of $7,500 resulted in 1992. Additional funding from MNR matched with reserve funds permitted a
$50,000 enhancement to Don River Strategy. In addition, extra Provincial funding was available to carry out
$275,000 in Flood Control and Erosion projects such as Deed Plot Mapping, Class Environmental Assessment and
Major Maintenance at Smythe Park and Highland Creek. Operations and Maintenance of Water Control Structures
exceeded budgeted expenditures by $36,000, $20,000 of which was due to the transferring of responsibility for
stream gauges.
Note that the presentation for Resource Management has been modified to conform to the method used in the
1993 budget. The line for internal recoveries recognizes services and materials provided by Resource Management
but charged to other departments.
FIELD OPERATIONS
Stringent cost containment by Field Operations staff and management enabled the Divison to achieve a modest
deficit of $8,100 on gross expenditures of over $12 million.
Poor conditions for attendance at our recreation and education facilities attributable to the lingering recession were
further worsened by the poor summer weather. Consequently, revenues were down by $420,000 at the
Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village, and for the Education programs. Cost cutting measures of,
$400,000 were made to offset the lower revenues. Additional Provincial funding of $87,000 was also available to
the Division.
PROGRAM SERVICES
A surplus of $39,000 resulted in 1992. Public Communications expenditures were reduced by $60,000 by
curtailing expenditures on the Greenspace Communications Program and by producing a more modest Annual
Report.
VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT
Expenditures were $36,300 below budget as a result of better than expected prices and the purchase of smaller
vehicles. Consequently, the transfer from the reserve was lower.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
Special projects are divided into two categories: Employment Programs and Non - Employment Programs. The
Employment Programs are government sponsored, job- creation programs. The Non - Employment Programs relate to
work the Authority undertakes as a result of special funding becoming available during the year.
Major projects in 1992 were the TAWMS Project, Provincial Anti - Recessionary Program, Waterfront Water Quality
Improvement Program, Provincial Rural Beach Study, Rouge River Fisheries Management Plan, Experience '92
Program, MOE Biomonitoring, Land Demonstration Project and the Environmental Youth Corps Program.
CAPITAL BUDGET
Project for Valley and Shoreline Regeneration in the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto
Reduced in scope by approximately $461,000 due to delays in property negotiations and lack of Provincial funding.
York Erosion Control - $50,000 expenditure deferred pending a review of the appropriate scope of the project.
Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project
Reduced in scope by $165,000 due to shortage of land fill material.
Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Project
The project was not started because approvals were not in place.
Dixie - Dundas Damage Centre - Underspent by $296,600 due to delays in property negotiations.
Keating Channel Dredging - Expenditures over budget by approximately $200,000 reflecting work funded by City
of Toronto.
Etobicoke Creek - Tyndall Nursing Home - $17,500 higher expenditures for additional legal and survey costs.
Greater Toronto Region Trail System
Project deferred because approvals were not yet in place.
Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Projects:
Waterfront Open Space - $500,000 additional expenditures over budget. Acquisitions include the Former
MacWhirter Property (.23 acres on Pickering Beach in Ajax) and the Former Ward Property (3.081 acres on the
Scarborough Bluffs).
Niagara Escarpment Land Acquisition - underspent by $488,900 due to lack of grant.
Greenspace Acquisition - underspent by $825,900 due to delay of project approvals. Expenditures funded from
land sale revenues to offset lack of grant and levy.
Former Domtar Inc. Property - The demolition and removal of buildings on the former Domtar Inc. Property, ,
Borough of East York completed.
Foster Woods - Completion of the acquisition of 43.942 acres from the City of Vaughan to be preserved as a
woodlot to provide suitable recognition to the late William T. Foster, a former Chair of the Authority.
Sandbury Building Corporation Property - Unbudgeted expenditures of $960,100 were funded by $480,000 MNR
grant, a special $380,000 contribution from the Town of Pickering, $25,000 private donation and $75,000 from
the Ontario Heritage Foundation. The 21 acre property is located on the north east side of Frenchman's Bay in the
Town of Pickering. A portion of the Frenchman's Bay Marsh Environmentally Significant Area is located on this
property.
Project for the Acquisition of the Canada Post Property
On October 30, 1992 final arrangements were made to purchase the 38.718 acre parcel of land owned by Canada
Post Corporation located on the south side of Lakeshore Boulevard, City of Mississauga, Region of Peel
immediately adjacent to Marie Curtis Park. Expenditures to -date amount to $14,800,000 with a further
$3,200,000 to be spent on environmental clean -up costs in 1993 and 1994.

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Members of
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority
We have audited the balance sheet of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority as at December 31, 1992 and the statements of
operations and deficit and continuity of reserves for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Authority's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority as at December 31, 1992 and the results of its operations and the
continuity of reserves for::the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles prescribed for Ontario Conservation Authorities as explained in note 1 to
the financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31. 1992
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles and Financial
Reponing Requirements for Conservation Authorities in Ontario as approved by the Association
of Conservation Authorities of Ontario and the Ministry of Natural Resources [the "MNR"j. The
more significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:
Accrual accounting
The accrual basis of accounting is used to record expenditures in the period in which costs are
incurred and to recognize revenue in the period in which it is earned, except that sick leave benefits
are recorded as an expenditure when paid [note 411V].
Deferred revenue
Grants, municipal levies and other amounts received in advance of directly related expenditures are
deferred and are recognized as revenue when the expenditures are incurred.
Capital expenditures
The cost of capital assets is charged to operations in the year of acquisition.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and replacement cost.
Special projects:
Special projects represent unbudgeted expenditures incurred as a result of receiving special
unbudgeted revenue principally from the provincial and federal governments and municipalities.
Vehicle & Equipment and food service equipment
T1ie.:Aiiirity operates vehicles and equipment. Internal charges for the use of the vehicles and
equipment are made to the various projects of the Authority and are included in the applicable
expenditure categories. Charges are approved as follows:
Vehicle & Equipment - at rates approved by the MNR.
Food service equipment - at a rate approved annually with the adoption of the food service
operation program budget.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31. 1992
Actual expenditures incurred. net of recoveries from these internal charges, are charged or credited to
operations as other expenditures on the statement of operations and deficit.
2. RESERVE FOR FUNDS HELD UNDER PROVINCIAL REVENUE
SHARING POLICY
The Authority is required by the MNR to segregate the proceeds on the sale of properties or other
non - renewable resources. As permitted by the MNR. the funds are held in a reserve and are applied
to approved projects. Interest at prevailing market rates is imputed on the unspent balance in the
reserve.
The appropriations to (from) the reserve for 1992 and 1991 are based upon the following
transactions recorded in operations:

3. TEMPORARY INVESTMENT IN PROPERTY
The Authority purchased a property in 1990 in order that a project could be completed on adjacent
land. It is the intention of the Authority to resell the property in 1993. The property is carried at
its estimated realizable value. net of estimated selling costs.
4. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS
[a] Legal actions and claims
The Authority has received Statements of Claim as defendant under various legal actions
resulting from fatalities. personal injuries and flooding on or adjacent to its properties. The
Authority maintains insurance coverage against such risks and has notified its insurers of the
legal actions and claims. It is not possible at this time to determine the outcome of these
claims and therefore no provision has been made in these financial statements.
[b] Sick leave
Prior to 1981. the Authority provided sick leave arrangements for all full -time employees,
under which unused benefits were accumulated and were payable upon termination of
employment after a qualifying length of service. Existing benefits accumulated to
December 31, 1980 are paid upon termination of employment or to supplement short -term
disability benefits. At December 31. 1992. the maximum potential liability for such
payments was approximately $652.000 [ 1991 - $746,0001.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER'S COMMENTS
Continuing Restraint
As directed by the Authority, the final 1993 Operating Budget effectively provides for "zero increase" in gross expenditures. Salary and wage adjustments
are flat -lined at the 1992 level. Almost 5% of full -time staff positions will remain vacant. Reduced work hours continues the 1990 -1992 trend during which
41,000 fewer hours were worked annually, the equivalent of 22 full -time positions.
Although this budget is constrained, priority has been given to watershed management activities such as the development of the Don River Watershed
Strategy. Priority has also been given to implementing improvements to our Conservation Areas which should result in increased visitor satisfaction and
therefore increased revenues.
Greenspace Strategy
The 1993 budget continues the Authority's commitment to the implementation of the Greenspace strategy. In particular, the Don Watershed Task Force
has been funded at a level commensurate with its importance to the work of the Authority. On the capital side, provision is included in the budget to proceed
with work on the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Project assuming that agreement can be reached with the funding partners. 1993 is the year in which
the Authority's major strategic initiatives of 1992, Review of Public Use of Authority Lands and the Valley and Stream Corridor strategy should be finalized
based on the comments received from all interested groups.
Partnerships
In 1993 the Authority will continue to forge new partnerships with Provincial govenment departments, the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, the private sector,
Boards of Education, the Federal Government, many interested groups and our watershed communities to enable our important work to continue.
Funding
1993 is the final year of the five -year phase -in of the Recreation Funding Formula adopted by the Authority in 1988. Increases to the Regional Municipalities
of Peel, York and Durham in the general levy are largely the result of this formula and to a lesser degree, to the shift in discounted equalized assessment.
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 1993 Budget Page 3
Funding - Continued
The Authority's 1993 Budget provides for operating revenue which would be expected during average weather conditions. As we reported in the Preliminary
Estimates the 1992 operating revenue was down substantially because of 16 consecutive week -ends of rain. In 1993 we have had the benefit of regular
and continuing snowfalls which have already contributed to improved operational revenues. If we can avoid.a substantial run of rainy week -ends, the revenue
projections should be achievable.
Municipal levy increases reflect our commitment to a zero increase budget and the need for restraint. As mentioned previously the small increases that are
reflected in this budget are as a result of the recreation funding formula agreed to by our member municipalities some 6 years ago and the legislatively
mandated shift in discounted equalized assessment.
With respect to Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) grants, the Authority does not expect to receive confirmation of funding until late April or early May,
following the presentation of the Ontario budget. Our best advice is that the operational funding from MNR will be maintained at the 1992 level and that
cuts in Province grants will relate to capital spending. We have built the Authority's budget around these assumptions.
Reporting Formats
In 1992, Authority staff initiated revisions to the budget review process to provide for more effective priority setting and to better demonstrate
the value received for funds expended. Development of program performance measures will be implemented in the 1994 Preliminary Estimates. Also, we
have begun to restructure the budget presentation to better identify key authority cost centres and their respective funding sources. Accordingly, there are
a number of changes to this year's budget format which are explained throughout the document.
For example, we are reflecting the 1993 budget expenditures for activities which have been ongoing for several years but which we have traditionally
described as "special projects" and reported in our regular Financial Progress Reports. After a number of years it appears that funding for these activities
is relatively secure and therefore it is more effective to include them in the regular budget, noting of course that if the funding is not available, the expenditures
will not be made. An example of this is the Authority's Archaeological Program which has been successful and totally funded for the last few years but never
reflected fully in the budget. This adds $75,000 to the Authority's gross expenditures and is fully self- financing from revenues received for the work done.
The effect of this is to add $75,000 to the total gross expenditures thereby pushing up the percentage increase year over year. To more accurately reflect
the year over year comparison, we have identified the 1993 operating budget with and without these adjustments. This provides a better year- over -year
comparison and demonstrates our commitment to a zero increase budget.
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 1993 Budget
W
Pagel\
Reporting Formats - Cont'd.
There are a number of areas in Resource Management such as tree planting for municipalities and private and owners which like Archaeology have been
funded on a regular basis for several years and should no longer be treated as "special projects ". Again, these have the effect of increasing the Authority's
gross expenditures beyond what would otherwise be identified but because they are fully funded, do not affect the net expenditures funded by grant and
levy.
Further, we have allocated key expenditures with respect to marketing and food service to the areas which receive the benefit of those expenditures.
Accordingly, Black Creek Pioneer Village, the Conservation Areas, and the Education Programs show expenditures and revenues for marketing, and food
service and better demonstrates the cost of operating such programs. As we continue to review the budget process and introduce program performance
measures, there will be further changes to the format and presentation of information.
Capital Projects
A number of major capital projects are described in the budget detail which follows. Among these are the continuation of the Canada Post site remediation,
the introduction of the Brickworks Rehabilitation Project which will be brought before the Authority at the earliest opportunity, the Toronto Islands Project
being funded under Jobs Ontario, and the introduction of the Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Project in the amount of some $2.4 million.
The Authority will be continuing its program to rehabilitate Conservation Areas introducing more acceptable washroom facilities, improving roads and access
and providing much needed covered picnic facilities so as to continue our aggressive program to encourage more people to attend our facilities. The Greater
Toronto Region Trail System Project has been substantially downsized from 1992 because of continued provincial funding restraint.
Summary
This is a fiscally responsible budget which not only meets the target "zero increase" budget guidelines given by the Authority and its partners but at the
same time reflects the Authority's commitment to watershed management and the protection and management of our greenspaces.
The budget also in a small way reflects the need to help stimulate the economy, through the allocation capital to these projects which will provide jojbs while
meeting defined Authority priorities.
Staff are to be congratulated on their effort, team work and commitment to the preparation of this budget.
I also want to thank the many staff from all of our partners who have assisted us throughout the budget preparation process.

AUTHORITY PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority adopted a comprehensive Watershed Plan to establish long -range goals in nine program areas
specific to the 3,467 square kilometres within Authority jurisdiction. The adoption of the Plan is in compliance with the direction of The Conservation
Authorities Act to undertake a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources and of the
Province of Ontario to study and investigate the watershed and prepare and file with its member municipalities and the Minister of Natural Resources, a
Watershed Plan.
The Watershed Plan has been filed with, and concurred in by, the Authority's member municipalities and the Director, Central Region, Ministry of Natural
Resources. The Authority, in the Plan, has identified the river valleys, the Lake Ontario shoreline and the headwaters of the Oak Ridges interlobate moraine
and the Niagara Escarpment as the major resources to which its programs are applied.
The core programs of the Authority provide public safety from flooding and erosion. The Flood Control Program and three complementary programs, Erosion
Control, Storm Water Management and Conservation Land Management, establish the means to accomplish this objective and recognize the relationships
between rural and urban drainage, erosion and sedimentation, and flooding. The Land Acquisition Program supports these objectives by enabling the purchase
of hazard and conservation lands. The public use of Authority lands is provided for in the Lake Ontario Waterfront Development, Watershed Recreation,
Heritage Conservation, and Conservation Awareness Programs.
Flood Control Program - Provides for remedial measures, land acquisition and the administration of regulatory measures to maintain flood plains unobstructed
to ensure the passage of flood flows.
Erosion Control Program - Provides for remedial and regulatory measures to protect life and property in the river valleys and along the Lake Ontario shoreline.
Storm Water Management Program - Establish a basis for co- operative action by the Authority and its member municipalities with respect to water
management problems and the preparation of master drainage plans.
Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 1993 Budget Page 1 1
AUTHORITY PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES CONT'D.
Conservation Land Management Program - Promotes conservation on private and public lands by providing reforestation, habitat and stream improvement
and conservation planning services.
Land Acquisition Program - Provides for the acquisition of flood plain and valley lands, waterfront lands and environmentally significant lands to ensure proper
conservation land management.
Lake Ontario Waterfront Development Program - Promotes the creation of a handsome waterfront, balanced in its land uses, taking cognizance of existing
residential development and making accessible, wherever possible, features which warrant public use.
Watershed Recreation Program - Enables the development and operation of recreation areas for public use and enjoyment, a valuable ancillary benefit on
conservation lands.
Heritage Conservation Program (BCPV) - Recognizes the importance of an historical perspective to the understanding of resource management.
Conservation Awareness Program - Establishes the means by which the Authority can communicate with the community in order to gain understanding and
acceptance of its conservation programs.
In 1988, a Greenspace strategy for the Greater Toronto Region was prepared as a supplement to the Watershed Plan and to address the urgent need for
strategies for watershed planning and management, conservation of the Oak Ridges Moraine, and the Lake Ontario shoreline. These strategies reflect the
urban character of the Authority's watersheds and the rapid, continuing growth creating pressure on the natural resource base.

MUNICIPAL FUNDING PARTNERS

MUNICIPAL FUNDING PARTNERS - GENERAL
The municipal share of expenditures on administration, operations and maintenance, and other current programs, comprises the General Levy on the member
municipalities. Non - recreation expenditures are apportioned on the basis of discounted equalized assessment. Assessment data is supplied by the Province
of Ontario. Recreation expenditures are apportioned to the member municipalities on the basis of visitor origin and discounted equalized assessment, as
described below.
The Regional Municipalities of Durham, Peel and York are also levied an amount equal to 100% of the 1992 taxes paid by the Authority on revenue- producing
properties within these municipalities. Within Metropolitan Toronto, Authority lands are not subject to taxation and consequently, no tax adjustment is made.
Funding Arrangements for Municipal Levy on Recreational Programs
In December of 1988, the Authority approved a new arrangement to distribute the municipal recreation levy among the four major member municipalities.
This arrangement affects the municipal levy for the development, operation and maintenance of Conservation Areas, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the
Kortright Centre for Conservation. The arrangement makes use of the traditional measure of ability to pay, discounted equalized assessment, and introduces
a new measure of usage which is indicated by visitor origin statistics. As a result of this new arrangement, Metropolitan Toronto's share of the total levy
has decreased and the proportionate shares from the Regional Municipalities of Peel, York and Durham have increased. The shares reflected in the 1993
Budget are as itemized below:

MUNICIPAL FUNDING PARTNERS - CAPITAL
The municipal share of expenditures on Authority capital programs is financed as a Capital Levy on member municipalities as designated in
specific projects. The municipalities individually determine whether they will raise the levy from capital or current funds and to.what extent
the levy is raised from a local municipality.
Greenspace Protection and Acquisition Project
This project is the continuation of the Land Acquisition Project. In 1991, the Authority approved a 5 -year $25,000,000 project. The member
municipalities have indicated that a Tess ambitious effort is required in times of economic restraint. Metropolitan Toronto Council has
recommended following their 1992 review of the "1961 Flood Plain and Conservation Lands Agreement" that Metro's financial participation
be limited to 50% of the municipal levy (25% of total cost) and not 75.8% required under the project adopted by the Authority. It is hoped
a cost sharing formula can be developed in 1993 in order that a new project can be put before the Authority. The $1,000,000 projected
expenditure for 1993 will be funded from land sale revenues.
Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project, 1992 - 1994
This project was adopted by the Authority in 1991 at an annual spending level of $3,100,000 with total project expenditures planned at
$9,300,000 over the three -year life of the project. The Ministry and the benefitting municipalities, Metropolitan Toronto and Durham have
approved the project on the basis of equal sharing of costs. Further, Metropolitan Toronto pays for 50% of actual expenditures occurring
within its jurisdiction and 25% of expenditures in Durham. The Regional Municipality of Durham contributes 25% of actual expenditures in
Durham plus a proportionate share of administration.
Project for Valley and Shoreline Regeneration in the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, 1992 - 1996
The 1992 - 1996 Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project consolidates all similar remedial works on the waterfront and river valleys. The
Authority adopted the Project in 1991 at a gross expenditure level of $1,500,000 for each of the 5 years and designated Metropolitan Toronto
as the benefitting municipality at an annual cost of $675,000.

MUNICIPAL FUNDING PARTNERS - CAPITAL CONT'D.
Project for Etobicoke Motel Strip Waterfront Park
The original project adopted by the Authority proposed a $40,000,000 multi -year redevelopment program for which the City of Etobicoke
would have established a special levy to cover 100% of costs. The proposed redevelopment was part of Etobicoke's secondary plan recently
presented to the Ontario Municipal Board for approval. The OMB decision, which was ratified by Cabinet, named the Authority as the
"implementing agency" for the public amenities scheme. The OMB and Cabinet also ordered that there be a more equitable sharing of costs
on the basis of the regional significance of the project.
Following the OMB decision, staff will be proposing amendments to the original project. Phase 1 .of the amended project will require funding
of $8,350,000 for land acquisition, master planning, fill and shoreline protection and for the fish compensation plan. This work will likely take
4 years. A proposed funding formula requiring equal sharing of costs by the Province, City of Etobicoke and the Authority will be presented
to the Authority. The Authority's share would be funded equally by the Province of Ontario and Metropolitan Toronto.
Project for the Dredging of the Keating Channel - Don River, 1993
This one year project at $300,000 is proposed as an extension of the original project involving the Authority, the Federal Government and
the Toronto Harbour Commission with the City of Toronto recently agreeing to participate in lieu of the Federal Government. The $300,000
budgeted will be split equally with the City of Toronto with a further $150,000 to be contributed by the Toronto Harbour Commission.
Conservation Area Development Project, 1991 - 1995
The 1993 estimates provide $627,000 for conservation area development projects. The Municipal share of funding $93,729, will be raised
under the cost - sharing formula for recreational expenses, adopted in 1988. 1993 is the final year of "phase in ". This "formula" recognizes
visitor origin, as well as discounted equalized assessment ( "ability to pay ") in apportioning the levy to the member municipalities. Funding
of $7,271 is available from reserves, as required by the formula.

MUNICIPAL FUNDING PARTNERS - CAPITAL CONT'D.
Greater Toronto Region Trail System
This project represents the initial phase of a multi -year trail development program. Over the next 3 years $3,000,000 will be raised from the
Province, Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto, Authority reserves and the member municipalities. The $500,000 municipal
contribution will be raised on the basis of discounted equalized assessment applicable to the 1991 budget year. The balance of funds required
from reserves and the Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto will be determined pending confirmation of the level of funding by the
Province through the "Jobs Ontario" program or the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation capital grant system.
Project for the Acquisition of the Canada Post Property
The project requires total funding of $18,000,000 raised on the following basis:
• 50% Province of Ontario
• 25% Metropolitan Toronto
• 25% Regional Municipality of Peel
The Province has already provided its $9,000,000 share of the funding and this amount has been applied towards the acquisition of the
property in 1992. Approximately, $15,000,000 has been spent to date. The balance of funding is municipal and will be spent on site
rehabilitation and planning for its future use.
Don Valley Brickworks Regeneration Project, 1993 - 1996
After having acquired the former brickworks site, the Authority entered into a management agreement with Metropolitan Toronto in 1989.
In 1992, the Authority adopted a project which would provide for a gradual return of the area to the natural valley ecosystem. Metropolitan
Toronto has asked MTRCA to secure matching Provincial funding before further Metropolitan Toronto expenditures are considered. The
Province, through "Jobs Ontario" program or other capital grants programs will be asked to contribute the other 50 %.

Ministry of Natural Resources transfer payments are estimated at $3,717,500, representing 17.1% of gross operating expenditures or 27.9%
of net expenditures. The 1993 preliminary estimates have been compiled on the basis of a revised reclassification of expenditures eligible
for M.N.R. transfer payments, the details of which have not been entirely determined. The proposed grant restructuring provides grants of
50% on all eligible programs, and removal of the distinction between Water & Related and Land & Related expenditures. Certain capital
projects, which were ongoing at the end of 1991, remain eligible for the higher grant rate of 55% until 1994.
The Authority receives assistance from other provincial ministries as outlined in the schedule which follows:

FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS
The Finance and Administration Division provides a variety of corporate services as set out in the summary of responsibilities on the
foregoing page. The gross expenditure requirements have increased by 1.6% over the 1992 budget and 4.2% in terms of net
expenditure. Salary and wage requirements of the Division are for 31 positions, including the senior staff group. The salary and wage
projection is 1% below the 1992 budget primarily due to a 1992 sick leave credit for the retiring Chief Administrative Officer. Members'
expenses and allowances are budgeted to increase slightly. Legal expenses, equipment purchases maintenance, and office supplies have
been reduced. Utilities are budgeted for a modest decrease of some 3.6% due to savings from an energy efficiency program for head
office lighting. Savings from this program are offset by significant increases in the hydro rates.
Provision is included in the building maintenance budget for renovations to the customer service and lobby area of the head office to
improve the ability of the Authority to service the public.
An increase in the Authority's staff training and development budget provides for staff training and development around the strategic
management initiative begun in 1992. A collaborative model to arrive at a more mission oriented, client - centred model for management
of the Authority's many activities is being developed.
In terms of revenues, the Authority's interest earnings have been reduced to $ 125,000 from the 1992 actual of about $ 135,000
recognizing that in 1993 interest rates will likely decline over the average for 1992. Rental property revenue is predicted to grow to
$520,000.from $508,000 (budget over budget) which more than offsets general rental property expenditures of $431,000.
The Authority is proceeding with its head office renovations project. This project is conditional upon successful completion of the
disposal of the Jane /Steeles property as approved by the Authority in 1992. Provision is made in this project for expenditures not to
exceed $100,000 by the proponent to assist the Authority in preparing plans for the renovation of its head office, the funding for which
will come when the Jane /Steeles property is taken out of the parkway belt and re -zoned for commercial and /or residential development.
As it now stands, the Authority has very limited space with almost 140 people working out of its head office facilities originally designed
to accommodate about 80. Two portables were added in previous years and since late 1991, a trailer has been needed to accommodate
various contract and employment program staff. Records storage continues to be a problem, partly as a result of the success of the
Authority's central filing system. The $100,000 is provided for in the budget and subject to the necessary approvals being achie..eri will
be spent to assist in design of an addition to the building to improve office accommodation and storage.

PROPERTY: ACQUISITION, MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Purpose
• To fund the acquisition of lands required in carrying out various programs of the Authority.
• To provide for costs associated with taxes on non- revenue producing lands and liability insurance on all Authority lands.
1993 Budget Highlights
Property taxes included in this budget relate to all Authority non - revenue producing lands and are generally subject to 100% rebate from
the Province of Ontario under the Conservation Land Tax Rebate Program (estimated at $782,000). Certain local improvement charges
are not refundable.
Various acquisition activities are described in the section headed "Municipal Funding Partners - Capital ". The Property and Administrative
Services Section of Finance and Administration Division provides service and support for these acquisitions. For example, provision is
made for acquisitions pursuant to the Greenspace Strategy of $1 million. This will be funded from land sale revenue. There is a provision
of $2.0 million for the Canada Post Property Project for the continuing clean -up of the site and the planning for its future devek pment.
Provision has also been made for acquisition under the Waterfront Open Space Program in the amount of $1.2 with funding tikeiy
available from land sales proceeds.
Liability insurance premiums continue to decline from the peak levels of several years ago due to shifting market conditions.

DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS
• Funding has been identified to carry out the Authority's initiatives with the Don Watershed Task Force.
• There are two new capital initiatives; the Toronto Islands Project funded at 100% Provincial grant and the Etobicoke Motel Strip
Waterfront Project, the funding for which has not yet been confirmed.
• The Metropolitan Toronto Valley and Shoreline Regeneration Project 1992 -1996 is well below the annual project level as a result of
MNR constraints.
• The same level of service, as 1992, has been maintained for our administrative and operating programs.
• A new program, Special Projects, has been added this year to reflect ongoing expenditures undertaken principally with Provincial
funding made available to the Authority on an ad hoc basis.

DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS
General - Revenue estimates at all public use facilities are based on maintaining general admission fees at 1992 levels. Attendance
targets for Conservation Areas and BCPV remain at 1992 levels. A modest increase (4,000) is projected for Kortright Centre. Operations
in all Sections include appropriate seasonal reallocation of staff and equipment to maximize resources to accomplish projects and day -to-
day work Toads. Staff attendance at conferences remain at significantly reduced levels. Staff training expenditures have been maintained
to ensure skills and safety are maintained.
The Enforcement Safety and Security estimates provide for maintaining the 1992 level of compliance monitoring for the Authority's Fill
and Construction Regulations, patrol and required enforcement of activities on Authority lands. The Budget provides for maintaining the
Authority's strong Health and Safety program and for related staff training.
The Conservation Education estimates maintain the 1992 level of residential Field Centre operation and continues the expanded capacity
at Claremont Field Centre established in 1992. Field Centre fees will be increased in 1993 from 1991 levels maintained in 1992 to
accommodate Boards of Education constrained funding. The Kortright Centre estimates provide for maintaining the 1992 level of
operations and include Major Maintenance for road and Bee Space building repairs.
The Conservation Recreation estimates provide for continued operation of eight Conservation Areas during the summer at 1992 levels.
During 1993, Cold Creek Conservation Area is budgeted to continue to provide limited operation for Hunter Education and Speciality
Training Programs. CA operations provide for continuing Campground operations at Albion Hills and Indian Line, Heart Lake and Glen
Haffy Fishing Derbies, and the Heart Lake and Greenwood Arts and Crafts Festivals. The 1993 estimates also explicitly provide for
maintenance activities on various "peripheral properties" which are looked after by Conservation Areas staff. In 1993 various Major
Maintenance Projects will be carried out including campsite resurfacing and gatehouse renovation at Indian Line, roof repairs and
replacement of a furnace at Heart Lake, repairs and upgrades to the Albion Hills Chalet, and a washroom retrofit at Glen Haffy.
Black Creek Pioneer Village estimates provide for Village closing January to mid - March. The operating season from mid -March to New
Year's 1993 will be maintained with operation reduced a further half hour daily in April and October from the 1992 operation. This
reduces operating costs without reducing visitation opportunities. Estimates provide for reduced levels of Major Maintenance to refurbish
building interiors and exterior repairs delaying progress on Major Maintenance needs identified during 1991.
The Food Service Section provides for maintaining visitor service outlets at Kortright, Black Creek and Conservation Areas to meet the
requirements of operating sections. Expenditure reductions achieved in 1992 in Visitor Services will be maintained. Based on an increase
in Travel Trade groups, Special Functions will provide a net return to offset most of the Visitor Services costs.

CONSERVATION RECREATION - OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
Purpose
• To provide funding for the operations and maintenance of Conservation Areas and other Authority properties not under management
agreement. This includes major maintenance for buildings and facilities. Also provides for operation of Central Maintenance and Stores
for the Authority.
1993 Budget Highlights
• Conservation Area operations in 1993 are anticipated to provide service levels similar to those offered in 1992. It is anticipated that
this will attract visitation in the order of the projected 1992 figure of 600,000 given an average year for weather conditions. For the
most part, Conservation Area fees have been left at 1992 rates meaning that revenue levels are projected to increase only slightly next
year. Budget estimates include restoration of lifeguard staffing to 1991 levels and provides for maintenance of various Authority
properties other than active use Conservation Areas in response to increased public pressure for an adequate level of maintenance and
patrol on undeveloped properties.
• Various major maintenance projects will be carried out on a priority basis including roof repairs and furnace replacement at Heart Lake;
replacement of coin operated washers and dryers, resurfacing of campsites, and renovations to the gatehouse at Indian Line; a
washroom retrofit at Glen Haffy; road repairs at the Glen Haffy Extension and Albion Hills; and upgrades to the Albion Hills Chalet. The
Conservation Areas Major Maintenance budget has been significantly reduced this year in order to accommodate operational
requirements within funding constraints.
• Funding for training, development and benefits for full -time and supplementary staff has been included.

BLACK CREEK PIONEER VILLAGE - OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
Purpose
• To provide a living portrayal of a crossroads village in pre - Confederation Ontario.
1993 Budget Highlights
• 1993 operations and maintenance budget provides for continued constrained administrative, salary and wage costs to accommodate
increasing costs of municipal or external services.
• Expenditure reductions have been established through further reductions to those initiated in 1992, including one half hour reductions
in weekday operation hours, April and October, closure of one building and reduced Village seasonal staffing below 1991 level.
Closures leave 53% of buildings staffed, 37% of buildings unstaffed, and 10% of buildings closed to the public.
• The Registrar's Assistant vacancy will be filled. The Miller's position will be filled on a seasonal basis permitting fill operation of
Roblin's Mill.
• Major maintenance budget will be reduced by 25% from 1992 and will include painting the exterior of the Tinsmith Shop, Hall
and interior of the school.
• Revenue growth opportunities will be developed through membership program expansion and introduction of two new special events --
Spring Fiddle Contest and Christmas by Lamplight.
• Revenues are based on equalling 1992 attendance targets of 236,000, including 59,000 school and other group tours. Tours reflect
an increase in school group attending revised programs to meet School Board needs.

FIELD OPERATIONS
FOOD SERVICE
Purpose
• To provide food services at Black Creek Pioneer Village, the Kortright Centre for Conservation, four residential Conservation Field
Centres, four Conservation Areas refreshment stands, the head office lunchroom, and various group and Authority functions.
1993 Budget Highlights
• Budget provides for continuing the 1992 level of visitor service at Kortright Centre and Conservation Areas. To maintain Conservation
Area Visitor Service a sm21I net Toss will be incurred in Area snack bars, and is budgeted in the Conservation Area operations.
• BCPV Visitor Service reflects Village operating hours and includes May 1 Half Way House opening. Increased effort will be placed on
internal promotion of Visitor food service at BCPV to increase revenues. However to provide the level of service required by the
Village, a deficit will be incurred and is budgeted for in operations.
• Special Functions estimates are based on exceeding the 1992 levels through an increase in Tour and Travel Trade at BCPV. Special
Functions will provide a net return of $71,300 which will offset Kortright Centre and substancially reduce the BCPV Visitor Service
losses.

SUMMARY OF RESPONSIBILITIES
Program Services Division administers the Authority Public Communications Program, Program Marketing, the planning and development
of public uses facilities, and provides services to The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto.
DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS
There is increasing community interest in a variety of environmental issues and demand for appropriate action. It is important that our
Authority, through its Community Relations Program, continues to provide the public and its key audiences and interest groups,
information on what is does and how these activities satisfy the mandate provided by the public. The Don River initiative will be
emphasized again in 1993 as an example of the Authority being an action- oriented organization that uses ecosystem planning and
implements programs on a watershed basis. This focus will be used as an example of the Authority's overall Greenspace Strategy.
The Marketing Program is designed to advertise and promote public use facilities (outdoor recreation, conservation education and heritage
programs) in order to assist in reaching attendance and revenue goals to meet operating budget commitments. Continuing initiatives for
1993 will include customer service, direct marketing efforts, seeking increased media support, distributing Public Service
Announcements, distributing a Greenspace video, and maintaining close liaison with the Conservation Foundation to achieve co- operative
marketing and fund raising objectives. A reduction of 15.8% in the marketing budget may have an adverse effect on attendance and
revenues.
The Planning and Development budget reflects the third year of the Five Year Conservation Area. Development Project 1991-1995. Our
municipal funding partners have all approved the project however, budget constraints have necessitated reduced expenditures on
upgrading facilities to accommodate anticipated provincial grants and municipal levies. The program will be enhanced by substantial
support from Reserves and The Conservation Foundation. The active outdoor recreation proposals envisaged in the project continue to be
on hold until an analysis of the responses to the Recreation Review is completed and an updated Strategy for the Public Uses of Authority
lands is adopted. The commencement of the Greater Toronto Region Trail System - Phase 1 approved by the Authority and its member
municipalities, is dependent on the approval and availability of the funding from the Province of Ontario and the Conservation Foundation
and the approval of the detailed plan by the Authority and its member municipalities.
The continued Authority support for The Conservation Foundation of Greater Toronto is essential for 1993 if the Conservation Foundation
is to achieve its goal of raising $1 - 2 million per year. The Conservation Foundation proposes to launch a flagship campaign to support
Greenspace in 1993, and to continue various initiatives such as the tree donation program, developing the annual giving program an,-I
supporting the Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Kortright Centre for Conservation.

VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT RESERVES
SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES
Vehicle and Equipment Reserves
• The reserve provides for the acquisition of replacement vehicles and equipment required to support various Authority programs. The
reserve is replenished by charges to operating, capital, and maintenance budgets. The level of recoveries is approved by the Ministry
of Natural Resources and is intended to provide for the recapture of the original cost, as well as for operating expenses.
Food Services Reserve
• The reserve provides for the acquisition of new and replacement capital equipment and leasehold improvements required for the
operation of food facilities. The reserve is replenished by recoveries from the food service operating budgets. For 1993 this will be a
2% of gross sales which will be adequate to cover planned expenditures.
1993 Budget Highlights
• No new additions to the Authority Vehicle Fleet or new additions to the equipment pool are planned for 1993.
• Vehicle and equipment replacement will be funded from the Equipment Reserve Fund.
• Food Service reserve expenditure includes maintenance and repairs to existing equipment and replacement of smallwares in ali
locations.

Our audit of the financial statements of The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation
Authority for the year ended December 31, 1992 was completed. As part of our audit we studied
and evaluated the Authority's internal controls to the extent we considered necessary under
generally accepted auditing standards. This was done to establish a basis for relying on such
controls in determining the nature, timing and extent of the other auditing procedures necessary to
enable us to express an opinion on the Authority's financial statements and otherwise to assist us in
planning and performing our audit. The study was not designed to determine whether the
Authority's internal controls are adequate for management's purposes.
Accordingly, our audit of the financial statements, including our study and evaluation of internal
controls, will not necessarily disclose all conditions requiring attention because both the audit and
the study employ, as is customary, selected tests of accounting records and related data.
During the course of our audit, no major concerns were identified with respect to the Authority's
systems of internal accounting controls. However, we would like to draw your attention to our
comments outlined in the attached Memorandum of Recommendations, which we believe, if
implemented, should enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the Authority's operation. None
of the items reported represented monetary items of material consequence to the Authority's 1992
financial statements. They relate to controls only, and are not intended to reflect in any way upon
your personnel.
Yours sincerel

MEMORANDUM OF RECOMMENDATIONS
1992
Observation
At the end of 1992, there were more than 30 personnel keeping an aggregate of $16,000 in petty cash.
Some Locations have duplicate petty cash systems.
Implication
The risk of misappropriation or misstatement of cash, as well as extra administrative work, increases with
the number of individuals handling petty cash funds.
Recommendation
Consider reducing the number of petty cash funds.
Management's Comments
The number of staff handling petty cash and floats is consistent with the number of work locations and
sales outlets the Authority operates. The availability of these funds greatly enhances the operating
efficiency of each facility.
A review of floats and petty cash funds will be conducted to ensure the authority's exposure is
minimized.

Fib X3-1/93
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
MEMORANDUM OF RECOMMENDATIONS
1992
Observation
Some conservation areas tend to make bank deposits only every two to three days because of their distant
proximity to banking facilities.
Implication
Risk of theft or loss of cash increases with the length of time funds are not deposited with the bank even
though they may be locked in a safe in the meantime. Timely deposits enhance cash flows and provide
more up -to -date information of the cash resources of the Authority.
Recommendation
Distant conservation areas should be encouraged to make bank deposits on a more timely basis.
Management's Comments
A review of cash storage, handling and deposit procedures for Kortright and the Conservation Areas was
conducted in the Spring of 1992. Meetings were held with superintendents, who were also provided with
written instructions.
During the 1993 operating season accounting staff will be monitoring the deposit frequency for each
location to ensure compliance with the guidelines. In the meantime, a reminder will be issued to all work
locations.

THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
MEMORANDUM OF RECOMMENDATIONS
1992
Observation
Purchase order forms are not always prepared and authorized before orders are placed. Some purchase
orders are filled out after goods have been received.
Implication
Although purchases of goods and services over $2,500 must be approved by the management board, a
risk remains that orders will be placed without valid business reason in the absence of a tight pre -
authorization system. As well, when invoices are received, the accounting department sometimes spends
a considerable amount of time liaising with departments which have initiated purchases without preparing
proper purchase orders to establish the legitimacy of the invoices. Accruals are not made for outstanding
purchase orders for which goods have been received but not yet invoiced since a purchase order log is not
maintained. This makes the projection of cash flow requirements more difficult and could result in the
unplanned use of bank overdraft protection with the attendant financial charges.
Recommendation
Consideration should be given to implementing more stringent procedures for preparing purchase orders.
A log of outstanding orders should be maintained and accruals for goods /services received but not yet
invoiced should be recorded in the accounts at each month -end.
Management's Comments
Procedures are stringent, well documented, widely distributed and updated on a timely basis.
Occasionally a purchase order is completed after the goods are already received. There is no evidence that
orders are placed by individuals who are not authorized to do so. Managements primary concern over the
practice of completing purchase order forms after the fact, is that it is not as evident that the terms under
which the purchase is being made have been clearly communicated to the supplier. A secondary concem,
as noted by the auditors, is that invoices are sometimes more difficult to direct for approval without a
corresponding purchase order to indicate the individual and location placing the order.
Staff will be reminded of their responsibilities under approved purchasing policies.

FA 139 /ci 3
THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
MEMORANDUM OF RECOMMENDATIONS
1992
Observation
A formal review of reconciliations of major suppliers' statements is not being made by management.
Implication
Errors in amounts paid to, or recorded as owing to, suppliers could go undetected for an extended period
of time. _
Recommendation
Management should make regular reviews of reconciliations of major suppliers' monthly statements.
Management's Comments
The recommendation will be rnken under advisement.

This policy provides for the retention, storage, micro - filming and destruction of Authority reports and documents,

2.0 DEFINITIONS AND TERMINOLOGY
For the purpose of this policy:
a) "File" or "Record" shall mean the composition of documents, reports, receipts, vouchers, instruments,
plans, surveys and any other papers, be it in their original form or a microform, that is certified by an
authorized officer of the Authority or in a form of a computerized printout.
b) "Record Centre" is a designated storage area where files are stored for their specified retention period.
c) "Records Retention Schedule" determines the retention periods for all categories of files currently being
held by the Authority.
d) "Active" files are those in current use by a Division.
e) "Semi- Active" files are those not in current use, but which are required to be kept for a specified retention
period.
3.0 RECORDS RETENTION PRINCIPLES
For purposes of this policy, the following principles shall be applied in the retention of records by the Authority:
• All files and records created by the Authority shall be categorized in accordance with the Records
Retention Schedule attached to this policy, and governed by the retention dates defined for each category.
• With the exception of the Financial Records category and the Executive Records category, all files shall be
registered with a Central Filing Number which will clearly identify the category of the record and its
retention period.
• At the conclusion of each record's retention period, the record shall be brought to the attention of the
Division Director responsible who may extend the retention period by up to one year.
• Files and records may be reviewed by the Chief Administrative Officer or his designate for the purposes of
eliminating duplication of individual documents.
• No records shall be destroyed without written authorization from the Director responsible or the Chief
Administrative Officer.
• Wherever feasible and in accordance with legal requirements, documents shall be microfilmed in
accordance with the National Standard of Canada CAN2 -72 11-29 entitled "Microfilm as Documentary
Evidence ". Procedures for microfilming will be those generally accepted by the Government of Canada,
Ministry of National Revenue. Originals and written copies of documents, having been microfilmed in

1993 FINANCIAL PROGRESS REPORT NO. 1
OCTOBER 3, 1993
As submitted to the Finance & Administration Advisory Board
Meeting #4/93, October 22, 1993
OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET SUMMARY
A corporate deficit of $68,200 is projected for 1993, comprised of an operating surplus of $ 1,123,100 plus Social
Contract savings of $58,300 but offset by the Toss of $1,249,600 in Provincial and Municipal funding.
The more significant operating accounts variances are described in the comments that follow.
Several capital projects were deferred or reduced in scope. Details follow the operating budget comments.
The divisional components are as follows:

OPERATING BUDGET
Note: The divisional results are presented apart from the loss of Provincial and Municipal funding in order to
highlight how each division has cut expenditures and /or enhanced revenues to deal with the
expenditure control measures.
FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
Excluding the loss of Provincial and Municipal funding a divisional operating surplus of $342,000 is forecast.
A variety of expenditure control actions such as reducing staff development, equipment purchases, summer
employment etc. along with some efficiencies in, ie: hydro and supply costs are expected to bring expenditures in
under $193,700. The action of setting up prepaid insurance for the first time will produce a one -time saving of
$71,500.
This coupled with an additional $125,000 in interest revenue produces a projected division surplus of $342,000.
However this division sees the Toss of $782,000 due to the cancellation of the Conservation Land Tax Rebates,
which has been included in the amount shown on the divisional summary page.
WATER RESOURCES
A divisional surplus of $186,200 is projected for 1993. Additional pockets of special project funding is permitting
Water Resources to carry out about $600,000 of extra work on the Don River Strategy, various water quality
programs, catch basin painting and other environmental services. However, core programs saw expenditure cuts
related to a reduced flood warning program and reduced staff costs attributable to unfilled vacancies, terminations
and hours of work reductions. Additional Plan Review revenue is also forecast.
FIELD OPERATIONS
A divisional surplus of $439,800 is projected comprised of about $500,000 net expenditure restraints with the
balance in operating losses.
The largest portion of the Authority's expenditure control occurred in this division. Conservation areas were
forced to trim lifeguard programs, seasonal staff, peripheral property maintenance and more to an amount of
almost $400,000. The Education Program trimmed their expenses by about $75,000 at the Field Centres and
Kortright, involving staff layoffs and seasonal closings.
On the revenue side, Conservation areas benefited from the good summer weather and creative programming to
exceed their revenue budget by $27,000. Less than expected revenues in the Education program of about
$100,000 necessitated corresponding expenditure cuts. Attendance at Black Creek Pioneer Village is experiencing
a 20% decline resulting in $148,000 in projected revenue below budget. The decline is difficult to explain
especially since marketing efforts have been increasingly strategic (i.e. TTC ads). However, an examination of
statistics compiled by the Metro Convention and Visitors Association suggest that in 1993 Historical sites have not
been the venue of choice by the public.
PROGRAM SERVICES
Expenditure reductions consisting of not filling vacancies (i.e. Director position) and reducing corporate
communication expenditures are projected to produce a surplus of $155,000 to offset the loss of Provincial and
Municipal funding. The expenditures in excess of budget in the Program Administration account result from
retirement allowances including sick leave pay outs, which amounts are funded out of reserves.
VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT
The net transfer to the reserve is projected to be $23,800 above budget, reflecting slightly reduced costs to
replace vehicles and better than expected proceeds on disposal.
SPECIAL PROJECTS: (Now incorporated into Water Resources)
Special projects are divided into two categories: Employment Programs and Non - Employment Programs. The
Employment Programs are government sponsored, job- creation programs. The Non - Employment Programs relate to
work the Authority undertakes as a result of special funding becoming available during the year.
Major projects in 1993 are the TAWMS Project, Water Quality Improvement Programs, Provincial Rural Beach
Study, Rouge River Fisheries Management Plan, Experience '93 Program, MOE Biomonitoring, Land Demonstration
Project and the Environmental Youth Corps Program.
CAPITAL BUDGET
Project for Valley and Shoreline Regeneration in the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto
Reduced in scope by approximately $89,000 primarily attributable to lack of funding for Sylvan Avenue shoreline
protection. Emergency work was necessary at Nursewood Avenue at a cost of $51,000.
Lake Ontario Waterfront Regeneration Project
Reduced in scope by $612,800 due to reduced Provincial funding, reduced Lakefill Quality monitoring and the

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER'S COMMENTS
1994 PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES OPERATING AND CAPITAL
OCTOBER 15, 1993
Finance and Administration Advisory Board Meeting #4/93
October 22, 1993
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER'S COMMENTS
1994 PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES OPERATING AND CAPITAL
Overview
Fa ao7/9z
• 1994 Preliminary Operating Estimates project gross expenditure reductions of
6.1 % over the 1993 approved gross expenditures.
• This level of funding, approximately $20 million, is Tess than the 1990 approved
budget.
• Total gross expenditure reductions achieved amount to about
1.3 million dollars below the 1993 approved budget. All Authority programs
have contributed to expenditure reductions.
Municipal Levy
• The 1994 Preliminary Operating Estimates assume no change in discounted
equalized assessment. Information on discounted equalized assessment will be
received by the Authority in February 1994 for application to the final budget.
• The 1994 Preliminary Operating and Capital Estimates assume no change in the
recreation funding formula. As a result of discussion with staff of the member
municipalities, a further review of the recreation funding formula, which has
now been fully implemented, is required. Accordingly, it was deemed
appropriate to hold the 1994 formula at the same percentages as in 1993.
Action
During 1994, a review of the recreation funding formula in consultation with
representatives of the member municipalities, will be conducted with
recommendations to be implemented for the 1995 budget process.
Provincial Grant
• 1994 preliminary estimates assume that 1994 provincial grants will be
comparable with the 1993 levels of reduced MNR funding.
• The Conservation Land Tax Rebate Program is assumed to have partial funding
in 1994 of approximately $360,000.
.../2
FA zo8 /4 3
- 2
Action
Staff are in the process of reviewing the Authority's property assessments with
a view to ensuring that all property is assessed at a level appropriate to its
openspace use and with minimum taxation.
The Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario has begun discussions
with the Province to continue in some form, the Conservation Land Tax Rebate
Program for land holdings of provincial significance.
Revenue Opportunities
• The increases in the Authority's administrative fees for fill construction and
alteration to waterways regulation services introduced in August 1993, have
been included in the 1994 budget.
• Admission fee adjustments are being proposed. Black Creek Pioneer Village
and the Kortright Centre for Conservation have had the same admission fees
for 2 years and Conservation Areas for 3 years. Adult admission price
increases are planned.
Action
A report will be going the next Conservation and Related Land Management
Advisory Board, with respect to the 1994 fee schedule.
• In the Summer of 1993, a staff brainstorming session on revenue opportunities
was conducted. The results of this seminar have been circulated to The
Association of Conservation Authorities of Ontario and staff is reviewing
suggestions, particularly those which have long term funding opportunities.
Action
Staff will report further on implementation of these revenue opportunities.
Reserves
• In general, the Authority's policy on the use of reserves, confines expenditures
related to reserves to non - recurring capital related items.
For example,the vehicle and equipment reserve is used to fund replacement of
vehicles and equipment and to provide for ongoing and regular maintenance.
.../3
FA ao9 /9s

• The Authority's major maintenance, office equipment and food equipment
reserves, represent modest amounts available for funding of replacement items.
• The Authority's recreational and development reserve has been reduced
significantly due to commitments to the recreation formula and ongoing
redevelopment of recreation facilities.
Action
A review of all Authority reserves will be conducted at year -end and a report
on the availability of funds for 1994 budget purposes will be made prior to the
1994 Final Budget.
Employment Opportunities
• At the end of 1993, some 48 person years of employment will have been
reduced from the 1992 level. Since 1989, there has been a 20% reduction in
employment opportunities at M.T.R.C.A.
• In 1994, further reductions will occur as a result of various measures
introduced in 1993 (e.g. retirement incentives) and continuing cutbacks in part
time, seasonal and contract employment.
Action
A review of the Authority's benefits program is being undertaken with a view
to containing premium cost increases as a result of introduction of the
Provincial Sales Tax and any increases due to experience related rating.
A human resources audit of all Authority positions examining function and tasks
is being conducted to ensure that all Authority positions are being used most
effectively.
The Authority's Voluntary Retirement Program implemented in 1993, will have
its full impact in 1994.

Summary
The Authority has achieved consistently responsible "zero increase" budgets since
1991. In 1994, the $1.3 million reduction from 1993, takes the Authority to its
1989/90 level of activity. Even with this, the Authority will not meet at least one of
our municipal funding partners' guidelines.
To achieve Metropolitan Toronto's guideline of a 7.5% reduction in the Metro levy
requires a reduction of $1.66 million in gross expenditure, or about $350,000. in
additional program and staffing reductions over that which have already been
achieved.
More than 48 person years of employment have already been cut since last year. A
further reduction of $350,000. will require a loss of 9 full time productive people.
In 1994, as we work through the strategic process now underway, opportunities may
be found to achieve further staffing reductions. For example, the Authority's
voluntary retirement program may yet generate additional opportunities.
We have presented preliminary estimates which will enable the Authority to carry on
effectively its priority programs, albeit at a reduced service level. The Authority's
estimates continue to reflect our commitment to fiscal responsibility. Staff will now
meet with our funding partners' and when the results of these meetings are known
proceed to bring to bring forward the 1994 Final Budget.
