CITY HANDOVER 26
WHAT IS AN FAC? • A Final Acceptance Certificate (FAC) is granted by the city of Calgary after the developer's maintenance responsibilities have been met. • What does this mean for Legacy? • On a phase by phase basis the maintenance responsibility will be handed over to the City of Calgary • The Residents Association may decide to assume the increased maintenance over and above the City at that point 27
WHAT IS THE CITY’S ROLE? • The City of Calgary is responsible for a variety of maintenance activities including: • Maintenance of light standards, including bulb replacement • Street/ Park snow removal • Parking enforcement • Broken or distressed trees on boulevards • Parking of recreational vehicle concerns • All traffic signals and signage • Sidewalk and roadway repairs • Maintenance of green space and ponds within the community 28
COMMUNITY MAINTENANCE • Legacy Residents Association manages items that are above and beyond what the City of Calgary would typically maintain • This does not include park or pathway or snow removal maintenance • The LRA deals with areas in the community that have already been handed over to the City of Calgary. The City of Calgary does some snow removal on walking paths in the community as per their website • In order for the LRA to do snow removal in parks and pathways they would need to take over all maintenance responsibilities as well as all legal responsibility and liability in the parks from the City. This would mean increasing fees significantly for each resident. 29
FEE INFORMATION 30
FEE REVIEW PER MONTH SINGLE FAMILY - $5 MULTI FAMILY $3 31
WHY IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN FEES? Single Family and Multifamily Homes in Legacy have different fees per month due to the fact that they own less land per inhabitant. This has been modelled after other communities in Calgary. After discussion at the 2018 Annual Meeting this was brought to the board to discuss changes in Fees and it was decided to not adjust the fee system to make them the same 32
FEE COLLECTION 2018 TOTAL RESIDENTS BY 2018 Fees to Date RESIDENTS 2139 TOTAL PAID UNITS 1,351 in 2018 $90,844.00 TOTAL UNITS UNPAID UNITS 788 $53,595.94 including interest Paid Unpaid 33

FEE INFORMATION If fees are not paid on time you will be charged interest. For any delinquent accounts you will be subject to interest and an encumbrance on your title • Fees can be paid online, at WestCreek’s Office or by cheque 35
