2023 Budget challenges – 2021 Restart Fund

  • In 2022, $209,513 unused restart funds were deferred from 2021 to 2022 to reduce the 2022 requisition from 8.36% to the approved 5.14%
  • Comparing to 2022’s budget funding, 2023 is short by $209,513 or 3.22%
  • This deficit has been addressed in the proposed 2023 budget through increased performance expectations
Page 56–76

2023 Budget challenges – Legislated increases to labour costs

  • Legislated changes to employee sick and statutory holiday pay
  • Resulted in increased auxiliary staffing costs
    • 5 days of paid sick time – 2% or $65,000
    • Statutory holiday pay for those not working the holiday if qualify – 1% or $32,500
  • The 2023 Budget addresses these through fee increases
Page 56–76

2023 Budget challenges – Regional wage increases

  • Regionally CUPE received an 11% wage increase over 3 years
  • Our agreement for 2023 includes a 2% wage increase, thus we will be 5% behind the region for going into 2024
  • In preparation for our next round of negotiations, the 2023 budget includes a wage contingency
Page 56–76

2023 Budget challenges – High inflation rates

  • With the 7-8% inflation that the economy is experiencing, our operating costs are increasing
  • In line with the Board guidance of matching the burden of increasing costs with both taxes and user fees, the management team has decided to combat this with a second fee increase on admissions and programs that was effective January 1st, 2023.
  • The 2023 Budget has been developed reflecting the proposed fee increase
