FOR APPROVAL
Year cumulative allocation
1998/1999 $2.5 million
1999/2000 $5.0 million
2000/2001 $7.5 million
2001/2002 $10.0 million.
Background:
This $10 million allocation will reduce the ratio of the 12 quarter moving average of the total non-endowed investments to the obligations of the portfolio to 1.24 at April 30, 1998, compared to the Board's target ratio of 1.08.
Expenditures of these funds will be for projects approved by the University Steering Committee for CFI and ORDCF projects, chaired by the Vice-President (Research). This Committee will select projects to be submitted to CFI and to ORDCF for funding and the above funds will be used in a strategic way to support high priority projects. The Vice-President (Research) will report annually to the Property and Finance Committee and to the Board on projects funded by CFI and ORDCF and on the spending of the above allocations
Policy:
The Board's Policy on Investments and the Operating Budget [BG.96-131; BG.96-175a] sets the Board's target for the ratio of the total non-endowed investments at 1.08, applied to a 12-quarter moving average on the understanding that the actual 12-quarter moving average ratio will fluctuate around the 1.08 target.

This is a revolving loan with no requirement for annual principal repayments
What are the relationships among carryforward, a balanced budget, and the operating reserve?
How is our commitment to balance the budget each year to be evaluated?
Carryforwards arise when units do not spend all of their allocated budget in a given year. For example, assume the budget model allocates resources to Arts, and that all of these funds are not spent during the year, while all other actual revenues and expenses equal the budget. From a budgeting perspective, the unspent funds in Arts are set aside in the carryforward reserve, and are not available to the corporate university to meet other needs. In other words, the actual surplus caused by this underspending is segregated from our normal operating reserve. In the subsequent fiscal year, Arts is provided additional budget equal to its unspent funds from the previous year. If it is assumed that these funds are spent by Arts in year 2, that spending is charged to the carryforward reserve.
The budgeting approach that was used prior to 1996 is illustrated on Annex 1, Schedule 1 [not available on the World Wide Web copy], in the columns labelled 1997-98 (Old Approach). The final Surplus/(Deficit) on line 13 includes the expenses charged to the carryforward reserve. This presentation was wrong, for two reasons. First, it seemed like double counting of the carryforward funds: the operating reserve is reduced when carryforwards increase, and again in later years when they are spent. Second, if "balanced budget" is defined by line 13, the central administration is accountable over activity which it can not control, that is units spending out of carryforward.
These issues were discussed at P & F in January, 1996 and a new budget presentation, as illustrated on Schedule 1 in the columns labelled 1997-98 (Current Approach), was agreed to. Note that the final Surplus/(Deficit) on line 13 reflects the funding of expenses by a transfer from the carryforward reserve (line 12).
These relationships among carryforward, operating reserve, and balanced budget were approved by Property & Finance in January 1996 and reported to the Board. The resolution approved in principle that "a 'balanced budget' will be judged by no change in the Operating Reserve, and not by the Surplus (Deficit) Before Reserve Transfer." This makes the administration accountable for the relationship between revenues and expenditures, excluding changes in carryforward, which are under the control of individual units.
Schedule 1 illustrates in more detail, using both the current and the old budget approaches, the January 31, 1998, Revised Operating Budget material that was presented at the March 1998 P & F meeting (as shown on Schedule 2). Under the old approach, the revised budget Deficit (line 13) would be $3.225 million, compared to a $1.4 million Surplus After Reserve Transfer (line 13) using the new approach. The new approach correctly focuses the Board's attention on a surplus of $1.4 million. This surplus in turn will increase the operating reserve by the same amount. Without the change in presentation, P&F might have been questioning the administration this month about a deficit, rather than about a surplus.
In November 1984, the Board established a target for the operating reserve as 1% of operating revenues. Thus the administration should be held accountable for maintaining an operating reserve at that level, which is currently $2.5 million on operating revenues of $250 million.
Near the end of March, an inspector from the Ministry of the Environment came to the University to inspect the hazardous material transfer facility adjacent to the Thompson Recreation and Athletic Centre and the biological waste incinerator in the Medical/Dental Sciences complex. The inspector was impressed with the operation of both facilities and considered them to be operated well within environmental requirements.
