THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF VERNON<br />
2008 Annual Report<br />
MAYOR,S MESSAGE<br />
On behalf <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council and staff, we are pleased to present the Annual Report<br />
for 2008. We continue to work hard to maintain the quality <strong>of</strong> services to all our citizens<br />
and visitors to our community.<br />
With the completion <strong>of</strong> the Official Community Plan with its policies around land use,<br />
transportat¡on, and environmental stewardship, we have laid a strong foundation for our<br />
future growth and development. As our <strong>City</strong> cont¡nues to Brow, Council is working hard at<br />
improving our roads and infrastructure. We realize that transportation infrastructure will<br />
be a critical element in our community and the region overall.<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> saw significant activity in the development industry, in the form <strong>of</strong> new housing<br />
and new business. Building permits exceeded 5169 million in 2008, generating many local jobs and bringing huge<br />
benefits to local retail and service industries, compared to S147 million for 2007.<br />
The <strong>City</strong> is responding to the serious issue <strong>of</strong> affordable housing and we are making good progress in this area. Under<br />
One Ro<strong>of</strong> six-plex- a partnership between the <strong>City</strong>, Habitat for Humanity, Kindale Development Associat¡on and the<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> and District Community Land Trust - is fast becoming a reality to provide safe and affordable housing for low<br />
income families and individuals with developmental disabilities. Under One Ro<strong>of</strong> will be used as a model for future<br />
projects in the North Okanagan. ln addition, <strong>City</strong> Council and staff continue working with other agencies and community<br />
groups to tackle the issues <strong>of</strong> drug abuse/addictions and crime.<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> will continue to protect its parks, streams and green spaces, ensuring that generations to come will be able to<br />
enjoy the beauty <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>'s natural areas and wildlife as much as we do today.<br />
With the support <strong>of</strong> administration, our citizens, business and community leaders, <strong>Vernon</strong> is destined for a bright and<br />
prosperous future. <strong>City</strong> Council takes pride in their commitment to serve the citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>. We, remain committed<br />
to posit¡on <strong>Vernon</strong> for well-planned and sustainable growth and for a future rich with opportunity.<br />
I am proud <strong>of</strong> the work our staff and <strong>City</strong> Council have done this past year to develop our community as a healthy and<br />
sustalnable c¡ty.<br />

THE CORPORATION OF THE C]TY OF VERNON<br />
2008 Annual Report<br />
CAO's REPORT<br />
The Chief Administrative Office/s <strong>of</strong>fice is responsible for overall direction and<br />
supervision <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong> operations, and implementation <strong>of</strong> Council objectives. This <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
additionally provides support to Council by providing information and resources to<br />
assist them in determining the overall direction <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong> and regional initiatives.<br />
The fall saw elections for Council with three new Councilors stepp¡ng ¡n to serve the<br />
community. A facilitated session was held to acquaint the new Council and Senior<br />
Managers and to discuss the direction and preferences <strong>of</strong> the new Council.<br />
The year was also notable in a constant senior management team, in contrast to the previous year which<br />
saw turnover in several key positions. I believe the <strong>City</strong> will remain under constant pressure to attract and<br />
reta¡n qualified pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. These pressures extend to skilled positions throughout the organization.<br />
Growth and a demand for higher levels <strong>of</strong> service continue to apply upward pressure on our recruitment<br />
efforts and expenses.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the challenges <strong>of</strong> a growing organization is keeping up with the provision <strong>of</strong> suitable work space for<br />
all staff. Proposed new <strong>of</strong>fice space to meet our needs for the 20-year horizon as part <strong>of</strong> a Civic Center<br />
upgrade that would have included a new library and art gallery failed at referendum during 2008.<br />
Consequently some <strong>City</strong> divisions are housed in two temporary locations downtown and we cont¡nue to<br />
seek solutions to meet the medium- and long-term space needs <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> and RCMP.<br />
The <strong>City</strong> successfully concluded negot¡ations with our Firefighter's union, the IAFF. We also implemented<br />
our 2OO7 to 2011 settlement with the <strong>Vernon</strong> Civic Employees union. Generally, we continue to enjoy<br />
positive working relationships with our two bargaining units'<br />
During the first half <strong>of</strong> 2008 the <strong>City</strong> formed a partnership with the cities <strong>of</strong> Kelowna, West Kelowna and<br />
Penticton. This inter-municipal partnership was created under provisions <strong>of</strong> the Community Charter and<br />
provides the largest cities in the Okanagan the opportunity to cooperate on valley-wide issues such as<br />
affordable housing, climate action, susta¡nable development, transit and harmonization <strong>of</strong> key bylaws. The<br />
four cities represent about 80% <strong>of</strong> the population <strong>of</strong> the Okanagan; so the inter-munic¡pal partnersh¡p<br />
represents a strong vo¡ce to the Province when providing input on valley-wide governance issues.<br />

ENGINEERING<br />
Engineering Services is responsible for the implementat¡on <strong>of</strong> the municipal services and bylaws related<br />
to infrastructure planning. We work very closely with many <strong>of</strong> the other departments to provide this<br />
service.<br />
The mandate <strong>of</strong> the Engineering Division is to hold paramount the safety, welfare and quality <strong>of</strong> life <strong>of</strong><br />
the public and the protection <strong>of</strong> the environment through fiscally responsible management <strong>of</strong> public<br />
infrastructure.<br />
ln 2008 the Planning, Development and Engineering Services Division (PDES)was restructured to create<br />
a Planning and Building Division and an Engineering Division. This restructuring has eliminated the PDES<br />
Manager and placed the Planning and Engineering Managers at the Senior Manager table thereby<br />
permitting better representation from the two small but ¡mportant Divisions.<br />
The Capital year saw the following significant improvements to our roads and util¡t¡es which were<br />
managed by the Engineering department:<br />
o 25 Avenue, 41 Street to 43 Street<br />
. 32 Avenue, 27 Street to Pleasant Valley Road<br />
o 39 Avenue,27 Streetto PleasantValley Road<br />
¡ Tronson Road Phase I<br />
o Ellison Parkway Path<br />
Furthermore the Operations and Engineering Divisions worked together to construct a green lane pilot<br />
project adjacent to Silver Star School. This project utilized a porous pavement design constructed <strong>of</strong> a<br />
stabilizing geotextile system and structural gravel. The main benefit <strong>of</strong> this system over standard paving<br />
or chip sealing is it does not require a stormwater system.<br />

planning and Building Services is responsible for the implementation <strong>of</strong> municipal bylaws and policies<br />
related to the planning and susta¡nable grourth <strong>of</strong> the community. The Division strives to foster a<br />
positive public attitude towards planning and the <strong>City</strong>'s approach to growth management, and actively<br />
engages the community in the development <strong>of</strong> neighbourhood plans and other initiatives.<br />
The primary responsibilities <strong>of</strong> the Division include land use planning and related policy development;<br />
building permit and inspection services; subdivision, rezoning and development permit applications;<br />
environmental planning; community outreach and transportation demand management initiatives. The<br />
Division works with all <strong>City</strong> departments and regional partners in the delivery <strong>of</strong> these services.<br />
Highlights from 2fXl8<br />
o The <strong>City</strong>'s new Official Community Plan was adopted after two and a half years <strong>of</strong> extensive<br />
community participation and consultation. Significant departmental resources were allocated to<br />
this process throughout 2007 and 2008. W¡th an original three year project budget <strong>of</strong> 5548,500,<br />
the project came in under budget at 5464,000.<br />
o Development act¡v¡ty was very strong with the <strong>City</strong> recording 5169 million in building permit<br />
values, the highest in its history. 424 building permits were issued in 2008, over half <strong>of</strong> which<br />
were for single family homes. However, it is noted that there were slightly more multiple family<br />
units constructed (182) than single family units (148) during the year.<br />
o The Environmental Management Areas Strategy, which protects highly sensitive ecosystems ¡n<br />
the development process, was adopted.<br />
o The Environmental Development Review Group was implemented to coordinate approvals from<br />
Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Ministry <strong>of</strong> the Environment with the <strong>City</strong> development<br />
approval process.<br />
o Community stewardship events including Earth Day, Rivers Day and the Commuter Challenge<br />
were all initiated during 2008. These are annual events held in partnership with community<br />
groups, agencies, businesses and other stakeholders.<br />
¡ The Planning, Development and Engineering Services Division was restructured to create a<br />
Planning and Building Division and an Engineering Division. Planning and Engineering were<br />
subsequently relocated to a building near <strong>City</strong> Hall, while Building remains at <strong>City</strong> Hall.<br />
Outlook for 2009<br />
With the adoption <strong>of</strong> the Official Community Plan, a number <strong>of</strong> policy initiatives must be undertaken in<br />
2009 in order to support the new growth strategy. As there is expected to be a drop in development<br />
activity arising from global economic circumstances, it is an ideal time to direct departmental resources<br />
to policy development. The priority ¡mplementation items include:<br />
¡ Development <strong>of</strong> neighbourhood plans for the <strong>City</strong> Centre District, Bella Vista West and<br />
Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre.<br />
¡ Development <strong>of</strong> policies regarding the annual consideration <strong>of</strong> Annexations, OCP Amendments<br />

<strong>Vernon</strong> / North Okanagan Detachment consist <strong>of</strong> an ¡ntegration <strong>of</strong> what previously was included<br />
in 6 distinct policing jurisdictions. These were Armstrong (including the Township <strong>of</strong><br />
Spallumcheen), Enderby (including the Spallumcheen First Nations Lands), Falkland, Lumby,<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> Rural (including Okanagan First Nations lands) and <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> (including Municipal<br />
Contract for the Municipality <strong>of</strong> Coldstream). The geographical land mass <strong>of</strong> the integrated<br />
Detachment is 7,912 square kilometers. This excludes the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> & Municipality <strong>of</strong><br />
Coldstream, as well as the extens¡ve port¡ons <strong>of</strong> the Thompson Nicola Regional District (TNRD) A<br />
Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) areas existing in the Enderby & Falkland policing<br />

Detachment and local communities:<br />
The North Okanagan policing jurisdictions are safe and caring communities. The members <strong>of</strong><br />
the RCMP in conjunction with the members <strong>of</strong> the communities have worked together to bring<br />
about their shared vision and to ensure that the communities are safe and attractive to children,<br />
youth, seniors, families, businesses, and visitors.<br />
There is fair and unbiased treatment <strong>of</strong> all people. Communication between different sectors <strong>of</strong><br />
the communities and the RCMP is frequent, open and honest. These relationships are<br />
characterized by a high degree <strong>of</strong> dignity, trust and mutual respect. Our youth is our most<br />
valuable community asset for the future and remains the focus for many <strong>of</strong> our strategies and<br />
programs.<br />
Through ongoing involvement and education, allcommunity members have become more<br />
accountable and are integral in maintaining a safe and caring community. The RCMP works in<br />
consultation with community members to identify solutions to various community problems.<br />
Crime has been reduced significantly and the communities enjoy some <strong>of</strong> the lowest crime rates<br />
<strong>of</strong> any comparatively-sized commun¡t¡es in British Columbia.<br />
Values<br />
The <strong>Vernon</strong> North Okanagan Detachment embraces the nationalvalues and commitments to our<br />
employees and communities. The Detachment's work is guided by these core values and by the<br />

RECREATION<br />
The Recreation Division is responsible for the operation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Vernon</strong> Recreation Centre and for the<br />
planning, promot¡on and operation <strong>of</strong> recreation programs and the supply <strong>of</strong> recreation services to the<br />
public in the Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> area. The Recreation Division supplies these services to the North<br />
Okanagan Regional D¡str¡ct v¡a a contract through the Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Advisory Committee. The<br />
Recreation Division takes a leadership role in the promotion <strong>of</strong> active healthy lifestyles for the<br />
community. Through the programs and services we <strong>of</strong>fer, the Recreation Division plays an ¡mportant<br />
role in improving and maintaining the quality <strong>of</strong> life that the public associates w¡th l¡v¡ng in <strong>Vernon</strong>.<br />
Last year in an effort to assist all citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> to become more active and to reduce barriers to<br />
recreation we partnered with the Social Planning Council and created the 75% Disability Discount for<br />
person's with Disabilities, Person's with Persistent and Mult¡ple Barriers and those on Canada Pension<br />
Disabilities. This year, due to the success <strong>of</strong> that program, we have expanded to include individuals that<br />
are financially disadvantaged including tncome Assistance recipients. lndividuals in this provincially<br />
recognized program are now eligible to receive a75% discount on certa¡n programs and services. The<br />
result has been extremely positive and has allowed over two hundred individuals to get active that<br />
would have othenrise been left on the sidelines. ln 2009 we will be adding individuals receiving the<br />
Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors.<br />
Phase two <strong>of</strong> renovat¡ons at the Recreation Centre Auditorium continued with the removal <strong>of</strong> the<br />
concrete tiers that had been a fixture in the building since 1966. By removing the tiers and lying in a<br />
new flat floor throughout the Auditorium the accessibility and versatility <strong>of</strong> the room have been<br />
ingeased significantly. ln addition to the work on the floor, a new overhead door was installed<br />
improving access for renters to load in and load out <strong>of</strong> the building before and after events like the BC<br />
Snowmobile Federation Snow Show held in November.<br />
other events held at the Recreation centre included the civic complex Referendum' Queen silver star &<br />
Winter Carnival Events, Women's World Curling Championships Opening & Closing Banquets and Keith's<br />
patch, BC Hobby Expo, Fund Raisers for the Canadian Cancer Society and Hospice, BC Home Shows,<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong>'s Outdoors Show, Oktoberfest and both the Federal and Municipal Elections, just to name a few.<br />
Rll <strong>of</strong> the events listed above helped to attract a conservatively estimated 100,000 visitors to the<br />
Auditorium and Curling Rink. Coupled with the 188,000 public user visits to the Aquatic Centre and the<br />
133,OOO user visits to registered programs the <strong>Vernon</strong> Recreation Centre boasts over 421,000 user visits<br />
per year making the Centre one <strong>of</strong> the busiest and most active facilities in the community.<br />

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF VERNON<br />
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements<br />
Year Ended December 31, 2008<br />
1. Significant Accounting Policies:<br />
a) Basis <strong>of</strong> Accountino:<br />
The consolidated financial statements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> are prepared by<br />
management in accordance with local government accounting standards<br />
established by the Public Sector Accounting Board ("PSAB') <strong>of</strong> the Canadian<br />
lnstitute <strong>of</strong> Chartered Accountants. ln line with the standards, the resources and<br />
operations <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> are segregated into various funds for accounting and<br />
financial reporting purposes, each being treated as a separate enti$ with<br />
responsibility for the stewardship <strong>of</strong> the assets allocated to it. The accrual<br />
method for reporting revenues and expenses has been used.<br />
b) Basis <strong>of</strong> Consolidation:<br />
The consolidated statements include all funds <strong>of</strong> the Gity and the Wholly-Owned<br />
Subsidiaries. lnter-fund revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities have been<br />
eliminated.<br />
c) Measurement Uncertainty:<br />
The preparation <strong>of</strong> financial statements in conformi$ with Canadian generally<br />
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and<br />
assumptions that affect the reported amounts <strong>of</strong> assets and liabilities at the date<br />
<strong>of</strong> the financial statements and the reported amounts <strong>of</strong> revenues and expenses<br />
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.<br />
d) Tanoible CaoitalAssets:<br />
Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost and are not subject to amortization.<br />
Donated or contributed tangible capitals assets are recorded at fair market value<br />
at the time <strong>of</strong> transfer.<br />
el Prooertv Held for Resale:<br />
0<br />
Property held for resale is valued at the lower <strong>of</strong> cost and net realizable value.<br />
Costs <strong>of</strong> inventory include the original land costs and design, engineering and<br />
other related costs associated with holding the property.<br />
Debt Charges:<br />
Debt principal payments are charged against current operating revenue in the<br />
periods in which they are paid. lnterest is recorded on an accrued basis,<br />
o) Deferred Charoes:<br />
Defened charges are comprised <strong>of</strong> levied and unused Development Cost<br />
Charges; Sidewalk Gifting funds; Foothills/Silver Star Road Development funds;<br />
and Gas Tax / Public Transit transfer payments, These funds are recorded as<br />
revenue in the year they are used to fund tangible capital asset additions or<br />
eligible operating expenditures,<br />

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements<br />
Year Ended December 31, 2008<br />
h) Reserves:<br />
i)<br />
k)<br />
m)<br />
Statutory reserve funds are used for future capital expenses as designated by<br />
bylaw and <strong>City</strong> Gouncil. Reserve accounts for future expenses are amounts set<br />
aside from past and current operations and are not governed by bylaw.<br />
Government Transfers:<br />
Govemment transfers are recognized in the consolidated statements as revenue<br />
in the period in which the event giving rise to the transfer occurs, provided the<br />
transfers are authorized, any eligibility criteria have been met, and reasonable<br />
estimates <strong>of</strong> the amounts can be made.<br />
Financial lnstruments:<br />
The <strong>City</strong>'s financial instruments consist <strong>of</strong> cash, short-term investments,<br />
ae¿ounts receivable, bank advances, accounts payable, and long-term debt.<br />
Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the <strong>City</strong> is not exposed<br />
to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from these financial<br />
instruments. The fair values <strong>of</strong> these financial instruments approximate their<br />
carrying values.<br />
Budoet Fioures:<br />
The budget figures are from the annual Financial Plan Bylaw. They have been<br />
reallocated to conform to PSAB financial statement presentation requirements.<br />
These figures have not been subjected to the same auditing procedures applied<br />
to the actual financial statement figures and are presented for inbrmation<br />
purposes only. Subsequent amendments have been made by Ci$ Council to<br />
reflect changes in the budget as required by law. Such amendments are not<br />
reflected in the financial statement budget figures.<br />
Comoarative Fioures:<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> the comparative figures have been modified to conform to the financial<br />
statement presentation adopted in the cunent year.<br />
Progress began in 2007 to prepare for the coming reporting requirements <strong>of</strong> this<br />
initiative from the Public Sector Accounting Board. Significant work took place in<br />
2008 consisting <strong>of</strong> research <strong>of</strong> existing capital asset clatabases and<br />
determination <strong>of</strong> historical values. lt is est¡mated that 80% <strong>of</strong> the project was<br />
complete as <strong>of</strong> December 31, 2008. However, the data cunently in place has yet<br />
to receive final approval from all applicable staff and in some cases - a final<br />
review from independent sources. Completion and full compliance will take place<br />
in 2009.<br />

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements<br />
Year Ended December 31, 2008<br />
n) PSAB Section 2700 lnitiative (Segment Disclosures):<br />
Beginning in the 2008 fiscal year, segmented financial information is presented in<br />
groups <strong>of</strong> distinguishable activities in a similar approach to the <strong>City</strong>'s internally<br />
reported cost centres. These segments are structured in a fashion to assist<br />
users <strong>of</strong> financial statements in understanding and identifying the resources<br />
allocated to support commonly recognized functions <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>. Segments are<br />
identified primarily by function and secondarily by organizational relationship.<br />
Revenues are only allocated to segments when there is a direct cause and effect<br />
relationship to the expenses <strong>of</strong> those segments. Revenues that cannot be<br />
reasonably allocated in such a manner are unallocated and are considered<br />
common to the <strong>City</strong> as a whole.<br />

engineering, and related costs incurred to date.<br />
16. Federal Gas Tax & Public Transit Funds<br />

Municipal I nsurance Association:<br />
In 1987, the <strong>City</strong> entered into a self liability insurance plan with several other<br />
local governments in British Columbia forming the Municipal lnsurance<br />
Association <strong>of</strong> B.C. The <strong>City</strong> is obligated under the plan to pay a percentage <strong>of</strong><br />
its fellow insured's losses. The <strong>City</strong> pays an annual premium, which is<br />
anticipated to be adequate to cover any losses incurred.<br />
LeoalClaims:<br />
The Cig has been named defendant in several uninsured legal actions. No<br />
reserve or liability has been recorded regarding any <strong>of</strong> the legal actions and any<br />
possible claims because the amount <strong>of</strong> loss, if any, is not determinable.<br />
Settlement, if any, made with respect to these actions, would be expected to be<br />
accounted for as a charge to expenses in the period in which realization is<br />
known.<br />
Pension Liabilitv:<br />
The <strong>City</strong> and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan ("the Plan"),<br />
a jointly trusteed pension plan. The Board <strong>of</strong> trustees, representing plan<br />
members and employers, is responsible for overseeing the management <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Plan, including investment <strong>of</strong> the assets and administration <strong>of</strong> benefits. The Plan<br />
is a multi-employer contributory pension plan. Basic pension benefits provided<br />
are defined. The Plan has approximately 150,000 active members and<br />
approximately 54,000 retired members. Active members include approximately<br />
32,000 contributors from local government.<br />
Every three years an actuarial valuation is performed to assess the financial<br />
position <strong>of</strong> the Plan and the adequacy <strong>of</strong> Plan funding. The most recent<br />
valuation as at December 31, 2006 indicated a surplus <strong>of</strong> $438 million for basic<br />
pension benefits. The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2009 with<br />
results available in 2010. The actuary does not attribute portions <strong>of</strong> the surplus<br />
to individual employers. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> paid $1,031,748 for employer<br />
contributions to the Plan in 2008 ($933,437 in2007).<br />
Letter <strong>of</strong> Credit - Hesperia Prooertv:<br />
ln 2007, the <strong>City</strong> issued an lrrevocable Letter <strong>of</strong> Credit in favour <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) <strong>of</strong> British Columbia as a guarantee to fund<br />
works required by the ALC as a condition <strong>of</strong> the property being removed fiom the<br />
Agricultural Land Reserve. The property is being developed by the wholly-owned<br />
subsidiary, the Hesperia Development Corporation. The Letter <strong>of</strong> Credit will be<br />
replaced by the newly created subsidiary once financing arrangements are in<br />
place. The amount <strong>of</strong> the Letter <strong>of</strong> Credit is $ 716,000. As <strong>of</strong> December 31,<br />
2008, no drawing on the Letter <strong>of</strong> Credit has occurred.<br />
