In order to demonstrate accountability and transparency, the Transitional Funding Policy (GRA16002) has been approved by Council. The policy will be renamed Funding Phase Out Policy , September 1st, 2017 to better reflect the purpose of the practice.
Transitional Funding Policy (2016): As the City Enrichment Fund Program continues to evolve and align to the new city strategic priorities, , there may be times when staff may recommend that funding to some previously funded applicants is discontinued. Depending on an applicant s unique circumstances, staff will consider the following when recommending a phase out or / no OUR Vision: To be the best place to raise a child and age successfully.

SUBJECT: City Enrichment Fund Applications That Fall Into The Transitional
Funding Policy (GRA17004) (City Wide) - Page 2 of 2 funding for an applicant: organization / community impact, financial capacity, and availability of other resources in the community. Any surplus funds resulting from the discontinuation of funding to a specific applicant will be (or will continue to be invested) remain within the same program/stream. The draft policy suggests the following with respect to the timing of any transitional funding: a. City Enrichment Fund grant represents less than 5% of the organization/program s budget - 1 year transition b. City Enrichment Fund grant represents between 5% and 15% of the organization/program s budget - 2 year transition c. City Enrichment grant represents more than 15% of the organization/program’s budget more - 3 year transition A recommendation could be made for any of three circumstances: 1) applicants who score 59 points and below, 2) applicants that demonstrate significant financial or organization capacity issues, or 3) situations where applicants have demonstrated capacity to significantly reduce their reliance on funding from the city. When an application scores 59 points or below, staff may recommend a Phase Out funding recommendation. In these cases, the timing and amounts of that phased funding will be guided by the unique circumstances with the applicant using the 1-3 year timeframes described above.
In cases where serious financial issues or organizational capacity issues that will impact the applicant’s ability to fulfil their mandate are uncovered, staff may recommend Phase Out funding. All applicants are encouraged to continue to seek sustainable funding for their organizations, and some applicants to the City Enrichment Fund have greater opportunity to do so. In cases where an applicant has been able to successfully diminish the level of financial support required by the city, staff may recommend that funding be Phased Out for this applicant. Appendix A provides a summary of applicants affected by the Transitional Funding Policy during the 2016 grant cycle and an update on the current status of the varying transitions.

ANALYSIS AND RATIONAL FOR RECOMMENDATION In 2017, there were 353 applicants received for the following program areas: Arts;
Communities Culture & Heritage (CCH); Community Services (CS); Sport and Active Lifestyles (SAL); Agriculture (AGR) and Environment (ENV) that requested $8,305,768 in funding, of that amount, $5,802,710 (70%) has been recommended. Administration: Staff will continue to provide Organizational Development support and City Enrichment Fund Process workshops. Staff continue to invest in the continuous improvement of the online application system and provide training or other additional resources to the City Enrichment Fund applicants. Applicants are supported free of charge in areas that include but are not limited to: • Organizational Development • Succession Planning • Business Plans
• Marketing Plans • Outcome Measures
Many of the applicant organizations are volunteer run; there is significant staff turnover each year, therefore the need exists to annually assist them with the application process. It is anticipated that this work will continue to strengthen community organizations capability and sustainability. In May 2016, the Director, Finance, Administration and Revenue Generation was delegated the authority to amend all City Enrichment Fund forms, guidelines and program areas as needed, reporting any and all changes annually to the Grants Sub¬ committee. In 2016, the deadline for submission of funding agreements was extended from November 1, 2016 to December 16, 2016 in order to accommodate payment of all approved grants.
Community Services: The Community Services program area received 120 applications in 2017 and continues to support both established and emerging community programs. There were 93 programs recommended for funding through the Established Programs stream and 12 programs were recommended for funding within the Emerging Needs stream.
OUR Vision: To be the best place in Canada to raise a child, promote innovation, engage citizens and provide diverse economic opportunities. OUR Mission: WE provide quality public service that contribute to a healthy, safe and prosperous community, in a sustainable manner. OUR Values: Accountability, Cost Consciousness, Equity, Excellence, Honesty, Innovation, Leadership, Respect and Teamwork
SUBJECT: 2017 City Enrichment Funding Recommendation (GRA17003) (City Wide) - Page 5 of 7 Funding stability is provided to established programs meeting ongoing community needs (Categories A-G) while emerging needs and program innovation (Category I) are also fostered and supported. There were 2 program expansions recommended for funding and 1 program funded in the Emerging Needs stream is being recommended to move into the Established Program stream. By supporting both established and emerging needs, funding from the Community Services stream continues to provide a significant investment in the local social safety net.
The following organization was approved for a two year phase-out in 2016. This is the final year of funding under the approved Transition & Phase Out Policy: • CS A-14 - Wesley Urban Ministries - CATCH Food Security Program. Tipping Fees Program: At its meeting on May 27, 2016, Grants Sub-Committee approved the following motion: Staff was directed to review the Tipping Fee Program, as it relates to the City Enrichment Fund, and report to the Grants Sub-Committee. Discussions with the Public Works Department determined that the program would best fit within the Recycling and Waste Disposal Section. The current grant recipient organizations will be grandfathered at the 2017 recommended dollars for tipping fee usage. In 2018, the program will be transferred to the operating department along with the funds. The recipients are guaranteed a total dollar grant amount (as identified in
Recommendation F of the report GRA17003) noting that the tipping fee rate is not guaranteed and subject to change. Organizations that do not use the approved grant for a period of one calendar year will be removed from the list of eligible grandfathered grant recipients. No new applicants will be added to the program. Staff will work with organizations to communicate implementation. Sport & Active Lifestyles: In 2017, the City Enrichment Fund gained more recognition amongst community sport and recreation groups. The program received a total of 46 submissions from established and new organizations. All seven funding streams within the Sport & Active Lifestyle program received grant submissions which continues to speak to the diversity of support and community need required in this sector. Agriculture: This is the 2nd year for the Agriculture Program through the City Enrichment Fund. The number of applications to the Agriculture Program through the Operating Grant stream increased to a total of 19 in 2017, an increase of 5 new applications over the previous inaugural year.
