Increase Reserve Fund Draw for Exhibition Place
Committee Decision

The Budget Committee recommends to the Executive Committee that:

 

1.         City Council authorize the withdrawal from the Exhibition Place Conference Centre Reserve Fund for 2013 to cover the operating cash loss for the Allstream Centre be increased by $781,239, from $808,531 to $1,589,770.

 

2.         City Council request the Board of Exhibition Place to submit a report to the Budget Committee explaining:

 

a.         the shortfall for the Allstream Centre;

b.         any remedies to meet 2014 budget projections and the latest projections for 2014; and

c.         an overall review of the agreement between Exhibition Place and the Allstream Centre dating back to 2010.

Origin
(June 5, 2014) Report from the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer
Summary

The purpose of this report is to request that Council approve an increase in the draw from the Exhibition Place Conference Centre Reserve Fund (CCRF) of $781,239, as the operating requirement to fund the construction loan payments for the Allstream Centre was higher than originally estimated in the 2013 Approved Operating Budget.

Financial Impact

This results in an increased draw of $781,239 from the Exhibition Place Conference Centre Reserve Fund (CCRF).  The balance in the CCRF as at December 31, 2013, after this additional withdrawal, is $1,420,590.
