Mandated Reserves (385,000) Assigned Reserves (5,578,926) Lifecycle Reserves (930,524) New Base Budget Contribution to Reserves 500,000 Total 2019 Recommended Net Drawdowns (6,394,450)

2019 Average Contributions to reserves $7.0M $4.4M Use of reserves $6.9M $7.3M Net increase (decrease) $0.1M ($2.9M)
Recommendation for long-term reserve sustainability:
– At 5 year average activity, annual draw downs are consistently exceeding contributions – Traditionally reserve contributions are limited to one-time items, which includes year end surpluses – Reserves are one-time funds and should be used to fund one-time items – Annual Base Budget contributions are included in the 2019 budget to ensure Council Strategic Objectives are supported
