WHEREAS the capacity building is focused in areas such as urban design, sustainable development and design, compatible intensification, and accessibility; and

WHEREAS on October 26, 2005, Council approved a Competitive Service Delivery Review of Centrepointe Theatre that resulted in annual City Budget operating savings; and

WHEREAS through the immediate implementation of revenue generation strategies achieved through fee increases, rate recoveries and increased use of professional touring acts during theatre hours Centrepointe Theatre increased its annual revenue by over $800,000; and

WHEREAS this approval included the creation of a subsidy program in recognition of the fact that these fee increases and recoveries and the greater proportion of time being devoted to non-Ottawa professional touring acts could impede community use of the Theatre by the smaller, local non-profit performing arts organizations for whom the theatre was created; and

WHEREAS the approved subsidy program included eligibility criteria specific to the original community users of Centrepointe Theatre from 1988, or local non-profit organizations with a history of continuous use of the theatre, and an application process to assess demonstrated need, provided by financial reports and event budgets; and

WHEREAS the approved subsidy program which provided qualified groups up to $1,000 per reduction against the increased charges against them, pro-rated on need and the number of qualified applicants, not exceeding an annual budget of $16,000;

WHEREAS this subsidy program has been incrementally reduced in order to achieve Council-directed efficiency savings by $11,000 to the point where most of the Ottawa user groups for whom the theatre was created either have, or are about to announce that they will be unable to continue to use the theatre due to skyrocketing use charges; and

WHEREAS the current demand of qualified applications under the established criteria provides requests up to 20 days of use each season;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council direct the continuance of this Centrepointe Theatre subsidy plan to enable community use access for qualified groups based on previously-approved eligibility requirements with an annual budget adjustment of $20,000.

WHEREAS Ottawa City Council has been forced cuts services and raise property taxes each budget year; and

WHEREAS even with the additional $350 million dollars the City received in stimulus funding from the Federal government for infrastructure renewal projects, and the provincial uploading of ODSP costs, the 2010 draft budget proposes to raise taxes by more than the rate of inflation and cut current service levels; and

WHEREAS the budget is presently organized without giving priority to projects and services that will in the short, medium, and long term reduce the overall operating costs to the City of Ottawa; and

WHEREAS this results in programs such as Crime Prevention Ottawa and services such as Public Transit, being on the proposed cutting list even though making cuts to these programs and services will result in higher costs in the long term; and

WHEREAS the City of Ottawa would be able to maintain current service levels and balance the budget if the budget development process gave priority to programs and services that have proven economies of scale instead of diseconomies of scale, for example investing in light rail increases service while decreasing costs to the City and bus transit does the opposite;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the LRFP Working Group review ways that the 2011 budget development process be adjusted to give priority to all projects and services that will in the short, medium, and long term reduce the overall operating costs required by the City of Ottawa to deliver municipal services; and review ways that the budget development process could be changed to identify all projects and services which attract operational costs that rise faster than the rate of inflation and that these projects be given secondary status for approval.
