Upper Canada district faces retirement benefits problem gŏđŏ editionap.ca
soon tomake good on its employee retire- ment benefits responsibility. Trustees with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) reviewed a troubling business committee report during their June 5 committee of the whole session. The report states that if the UCDSB wants to be able to cover future employee retirement benefits obligations it needs to start saving the money now. The report noted that an estimate of up- coming retirement benefits and also pos- sible workplace safety coverage needs for the years before the middle of this century could amount to close to $40 million. The major part of that figure is retirement
gratuities of $36.9 million plus another $260,000 in other post-retirement benefits and $2.3 million in projected workplace safety and insurance obligations. The report stated that the UCDSB would need to set aside $4.5 million in its 2013- 2014 budget to start building up the re- serves needed to meet future employee re- tirement benefits. Also over the nine years following next year’s budget the UCDSB will need to build up $18 million in designated funding for employee retirements as part of its immediate and future obligations. The report noted that another problem the board faces is that meeting pending and future employee retirement obliga-
tions could mean having to set aside mon- ey that might otherwise go towards regular classroom programs and other needs dur- ing each school year. The provincial govern- ment’s balanced budget policy for school districts does not allow the option of tem- porary deficit budgeting as a solution. The committee of the whole passed a resolution recommending that the UCDSB board give the district chairman and direc- tor authority “to lobby forcefully” to the province about the district’s need for ei- ther some kind of flexibility or help to be to meet its obligations for employee retire- ment benefits without taking away funds needed for student services.

BROCKVILLE | The Upper Canada school district continues chipping away at some expenses for its next term operation bud- get. Trustees with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) reviewed another budgeting update report during their June 5 committee of the whole session. The re- port focused on the proposed allocation of funds for the governance portion of the budget which deals with trustee meetings, travel expenses, and other related items. The proposed total budget for all UCDSB trustees in the 2013-2014 school year is pro- jected at $424,517. This would be $100,000 more than in the previous school year’s budget. The report stated that the increase is needed so the UCDSB can meet the de- mands of its accountability framework pol- icy for public transparency on board activi- ties and also cover expenses for trustees for conferences and training workshops that they need to attend, along with other items. The proposed budget includes cost sav- ings in other areas compared to the pre- vious term. There would be a 40 per cent reduction in the meal costs for board meet- ings during the 2013-2014 school year. That works out to $3,626.60 in savings. More than $20,000 in savings is estimated through the use of teleconference calls for some business and another $29,326 saved through webcasting of board meetings. Other money saved through cost-cutting efficiencies in other areas will also go to- wards covering professional development expenses for board members. ORLÉANS | A shooting incident involving a police officer and a civilian is now under review by the Ontario Special Investiga- tions Unit. Ottawa police responded to an incident call around 6 p.m. June 4 in the neighbour- hood around the intersection of Innes Road and Tenth Line Road in the Cumberland Ward portion of Orléans. An encounter between the police and a 20-year-old unidentified man resulted in an officer drawing and firing his gun. The unidentified man received two gunshot wounds and was taken to Ottawa Civic Hos- pital for treatment. He is reported in stable condition. The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) has assigned four investigators and two foren- sic experts to look into the case. Anyone who may have information about the inci- dent is asked to phone the SIU at 416-641- 1872 and ask for the lead investigator in case number 13-OFI-127. $++0%*#ŏ,.+ !
