On behalf of Council, I am pleased to present the 2013 Annual Report for The Corporation of Delta.
We would like to thank the residents and businesses of this wonderful community, our staff and volunteers for their commitment and dedi-cation that make Delta a great place to live, work and play!
Keeping our communities safe and accessible through improvements to transportation infrastructure and improved facilities has been a focus of the past year. We have continued to move forward with the Neighbourhood Road Improvements Plan and successfully negotiated a partnership with the Province for $7 million worth of improvements to Highway 99 and the Matthews Interchange, a project that will begin in 2013 and be completed in 2014.
Construction commenced on the new Delta Community Animal Shelter, a much-needed replacement to the old building, that will see improvements in efficiencies and provide the community with a new gathering place.
Recognizing the value and importance of maintaining Delta’s heritage and celebrating our agricultural history, we are proud to highlight the moving and restoration of the Harris Barn.
We continued to take significant steps towards protecting the environment in Delta and ensuring the secu-rity of our wetlands for future generations. We are projecting an 18 per cent reduction from 2007 levels in the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that Delta produces by the end of the year.
Looking ahead, we have many new projects scheduled and several ongoing projects for completion in 2013. Some notable highlights include the expansion of the North Delta Recreation Centre, improvements at the Arthur Drive and Ladner Trunk Road Intersection, completion of the North Delta Area Plan and continued ef-forts towards the revitalization of Scott Road.
A new corporate website will be launched in the Fall of 2013 further enhancing our constituents’ access to information and creating an even more open and transparent municipal government.
It truly is an honour and pleasure to be Mayor of such a vibrant and thriving community. I take great pride in knowing that each day we work to exceed our citizens’ expectations, while always remaining fiscally respon-sible and sound.

The Corporation of Delta - 2013 Annual Report 5
As Delta’s Chief Administrative Officer, it is my responsibility to ensure the Annual Report fulfills the requirements of the Community Charter which sets out stringent reporting requirements for all municipalities in British Columbia. I am proud to state that this Annual Report meets and exceeds those requirements and provides a comprehensive and accurate account of Delta’s business and financial transactions during 2012.
In 2012, we saw the successful completion of a number of significant projects in Delta, including the construction of a new animal shelter and the opening of the 80th Street overpass. With respect to economic investment, Delta has just negotiated a Memorandum of Agreement with Dayhu for the development of a 900,000 square foot commercial distribution centre on industrial land at Boundary Bay Airport that is expected to bring 1,000 new jobs to Delta. We are also working in partnership with the Provincial government to implement significant improvements to the Highway 99 and Matthews Interchange, and have been successful in obtaining senior government funding for the Ladner Habour Dredging project. We will also continue to work closely with the Province and other stakeholders on the tunnel replacement
project.
Looking ahead, we expect to remain busy in 2013, working to bring quality services and improved infrastruc-ture while remaining fiscally responsible and maintaining healthy financial reserves. We are proud to report that our general debt will be down to $2.6 million by the end of 2013; a significant drop from the high of $44.7 million in 2000. With our continued commitment to “pay-as-you-go” funding, in just a few more years the general debt will be entirely eliminated.
As you read this report, keep in mind that these achievements are a result of the leadership, dedication and teamwork that exists between departments and staff at Delta. I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our Department Directors, Management Staff, CUPE Local 454, Firefighters IAFF 1763, Police and Police civilian members. It is through all our employees’ hard work that 2012 has been another successful year. ‘
I would also like to acknowledge and thank all of the citizens that contribute to our community and make Delta an extraordinary place to live, work and play.

organizational structure
Just 30km south of the heart of Vancouver, Delta is a 364 square kilometre rural oasis bordered by the Fraser River on the north, the U.S. border and Boundary Bay on the south, the City of Surrey on the east and the Strait of Georgia on the west.
Known as the sunniest region in the Lower Mainland, Delta is made up of three distinct and thriving com-munities: Ladner, North Delta and Tsawwassen that are home to over 100,000 residents with an estimated household average income of 30% higher than the Canadian average.
The stable prosperity of the community makes it attractive for businesses to choose as their preferred loca-tion and is currently one of the fastest-growing industrial areas in Greater Vancouver. Agriculture remains our primary industry with over 7,703 hectares of active farmland within our borders (42.5 per cent of the total land area).
Delta has a hospital, an airport, libraries, museum and archives, sports and recreational facilities, and many bike and walking trails in a diverse network of parks including waterfront parks on the Fraser River, Boundary Bay and Strait of Georgia.

Mayor and Council The Corporation of Delta As the Treasurer for the Corporation of Delta, I am pleased to submit the 2012 Audited Financial Statements for the Corporation of Delta pursuant to section 167 of the Community Charter. These Financial Statements are general-purpose statements and are intended to fairly present the financial results for the year and meet the needs of a variety of users. The supplementary schedules provide additional information on the activities of the Corporation. The preparation and presentation of the financial information is the responsibility of the Management of the Corporation. Judgment and estimates have been used in its preparation and all efforts have been made to ensure a careful evaluation has been made of all available information. The Corporation maintains a system of internal control designed to safeguard the assets of the Corporation and produce reliable financial information. This system is routinely evaluated and revised to ensure effective controls are maintained. The external auditors, BDO, conducted an independent examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and have expressed their opinion that the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation of Delta as at December 31, 2012. BDO reported on the consolidated financial statements as required by the Community Charter to the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Finance. The Committee meets regularly in order to oversee the finances of the municipality. In accordance with Section 167(2) of the Community Charter, these statements must be prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principals as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB). These standards have been established by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants to bring consistency of financial reporting by all local, provincial and federal governments. One of the primary responsibilities of the Treasurer is to manage the assets and provide overall financial stability to the municipality. The specific duties include preparation and monitoring of the operating and capital budgets, levying and collection of taxes and utilities, processing payroll and accounts payable, purchases of goods and services, managing risk, development and maintaining financial systems and producing financial reports in a timely manner for decisions to be made by Council and departments. The overall financial results of the Corporation were positive and within budget expectations for 2012. The accumulated surplus increased by $15 million and equity remains healthy at $119 million. The debt is steadily decreasing and was at $9.5 million at the end of 2012. No new debt has been issued since 2003 and the municipality is expected to be debt free by 2022. Capital projects totalled $30 million in 2012. Finally, I would like to thank Mayor and Council and all the departments and organizations that contributed to the Corporation’s overall success in 2012. We are committed to providing sound financial management and providing long range planning to meet the needs of the Corporation. For 2013, we will continue to work towards financial stability and enhancing the services to the citizens of Delta to make our community a great place to live, work and play. Respectfully submitted,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards using guidelines established by the Public Sector Accounting Board ("PSAB") of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. The significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:
The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting records revenue as it is earned and measurable. Expenses are recognized as they are incurred and measurable based upon receipt of goods or services and/or the creation of a legal obligation to pay.
Cash and Cash Equivalents include fixed return financial instruments maturing within 90 days of when purchased. They are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Cash and Cash Equivalents do not include any of the Corporation’s administered Trust Funds.
Investments are recorded at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums or discounts. Provision for losses are recorded when they are considered to be other than temporary. At various times during the term of each individual investment, market value may be less than cost. Such declines in value are considered temporary for investments with known maturity dates as they generally reverse as the investments mature and therefore an adjustment to market value for these market declines is not recorded. These investments do not include any of the Corporation’s administered Trust Funds.
Development cost charges are restricted by legislation to expenditures on capital infrastructure. These amounts are deferred upon receipt and recognized as revenue when the expenditures are incurred in accordance with the restrictions.
Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and therefore represent amounts expected to be collected within the next year.
The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation reflect a combination of the municipality's general revenue, water, sewer, solid waste and reserve funds. The Ladner Harbour Authority is consolidated as it is a wholly owned municipal entity and all interfund transactions, fund balances and activities have been eliminated.
Government transfers are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which events giving rise to the transfer occur, providing the transfers are authorized, any eligibility criteria have been met and reasonable estimates of the amounts can be made. Transfers received for which expenditures have not yet been incurred are included in deferred revenue. Government grants may be received for both capital and operating activities.
Non-financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the provision of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations. The change in non-financial assets during the year, together with the annual surplus, provides the consolidated change in net financial assets for the year.

i) Tangible Capital Assets
j) Inventory
k) Deferred Revenues
l) Revenue Recognition
m) Use of Estimates
Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes all amounts that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. The cost, less residual value, of the tangible capital assets is amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Buildings 10 to 45 years Vehicles 3 to 15 years Pooled Assets 3 to 30 years Machinery and Equipment 10 years Land Improvements 15 to 35 years Water Infrastructure 30 to 75 years Sewer Infrastructure 30 to 100 years Drainage Infrastructure 30 to 150 years Roads Infrastructure 15 to 60 years Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt and also recorded as revenue. Natural resources are not recognized as assets in the financial statements. Assets under construction are not amortized.
Receipts which are restricted by legislation of senior governments or by agreement with external parties are deferred and reported as deferred revenues. The amounts will be recognized as revenue in the year in which the expenditures are incurred. The municipality defers a portion of permits, licenses and other fees and recognizes this revenue in the year in which related services are performed or other related expenditures are incurred. (Notes 7 and 8).
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of accrued sick benefits and retirement liabilities, collectability of accounts receivable, useful lives of tangible capital assets and provisions for contingencies. The amounts recorded for tangible capital assets are based on management's estimate for historical cost, useful lives and valuation for contributed assets. Actual results could differ from estimates. Adjustments, if any, will be reflected in operations in the period of settlement. The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been prepared within the framework of the above-mentioned accounting principles.
Revenue is recorded on the accrual basis and is recognized when earned. Revenue unearned in the current period is reported on the Statement of Financial Position as deferred revenue or refundable deposits. Annual levies for non-optional municipal services based on property assessments are recorded in the year they are levied. Levies imposed by other taxing authorities are not included as property tax revenue. Charges for garbage, recycling, water and sewer are recorded as sale of services. A gain or loss on the disposal of tangible capital assets is recorded when the municipality disposes or replaces tangible capital assets. The proceeds collected are offset by the net book value at the time of disposition. Contributed assets are recorded at fair market value at time of transfer of ownership to the corporation. Investment income is recorded on an accrual basis and recognized as earned.
Inventory is recorded at cost, net of allowances for obsolete stock. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.

Municipal services have been segmented by grouping services that have similar service objectives (by function). Revenues that are directly related to the costs of the function have been attributed to each segment. Interest is allocated based on the purpose of the specific borrowing.
The municipality and its employees make contributions to the Municipal Pension Plan and the employees accrue benefits under this plan based on service. The Corporation's contributions are expensed as incurred. Post-employment benefits also accrue to municipal employees. Liabilities related to these benefits are actuarially determined based on service and best estimates of retirement ages and expected future salary and wage increases. Liabilities under these benefit plans are accrued and based on projected benefits as the employees render services necessary to earn future benefits.
Portfolio investments include federal government backed bonds and notes with effective interest rates that range from 1.2% to 4.65% (2011 - 1.01% to 5.02%). In 2012, the average rate of return was 1.7% (2011 - 1.83%). The maturity dates of the investments range from January 2013 to December 2026.
Cash and Cash Equivalents as at December 31 were comprised of nine Canadian dollar accounts and one US dollar account.

Development Cost Charges (DCC’s) are collected to pay for the general capital and utility expenditures due to development. In accordance with the Community Charter, these funds must be deposited into a separate reserve fund. In accordance with PSAB recommendations, the Corporation records DCC’s levied as deferred revenues. When the related expenditures are incurred, the DCC’s are then recognized as revenue.
Deferred revenue represents revenues that: 1) are collected but not earned as of December 31, 2012. These revenues will be recognized in future periods as they are earned; 2) are funds received from external parties for specified purposes. These revenues are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. Local improvements are geographically localized projects that are interim financed by the municipality. The costs are recovered from the benefiting property owners and the terms are established at the onset of the process.

16. Commitments and ContingenciesI. The Corporation, as a member of the Greater Vancouver Water District, the Greater Vancouver Sewage and Drainage District, and the Greater Vancouver Regional District, is jointly and severally liable for the net capital liabilities of these districts. II. The Corporation and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (“the pension plan”), a jointly trusted pension plan. The Board of Trustees, representing pension plan members and employers, is responsible for overseeing the management of the pension plan, including investment of the assets and administration of benefits. The pension plan is a multi-employer contributory pension plan. Basic pension benefits provided are defined. The plan has about 176,000 active members and approximately 67,000 retired members. Active members include approximately 35,000 contributors from local governments. Every three years an actuarial valuation is performed to assess the financial position of the pension plan and the adequacy of pension plan funding. The most recent valuation as at December 31, 2009 indicated an unfunded liability of $1,024 million for basic pension benefits. The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2012 with results available in 2013. Defined contribution plan accounting is applied to the Plan as the Plan exposes the participating entities to actuarial risks associated with the current and former employees of other entities, with the result that there is no consistent and reliable basis for allocating the obligation, Plan assets and cost to individual entities participating in the Plan. The Corporation of Delta paid $8,373,689 (2011 - $7,945,382) for employer contributions to the pension plan in fiscal 2011, while employees contributed $7,007,495 (2011 - $6,541,959) to the plan in fiscal 2012. III. In the ordinary course of business, claims are asserted or made against the Corporation, and it is currently involved in various legal actions. The outcome of these actions cannot be determined at this time. A provision has been made in the accounts for any likely unfavorable outcome of these actions. The amount of any loss in excess of the provision and insurance coverage will be recorded when determinable. IV. The Corporation insures itself through a combination of insurance policies and self-insurance. The Corporation has a funded self-appropriation (Note 14). Based on estimates, this appropriation reasonably provides for all outstanding claims. V. The Corporation has a contingent liability with respect to the Municipal Finance Authority of BC (MFA) Debt Reserve Fund Demand Note. As a condition of the borrowing undertaken by the Corporation, the Corporation was required to contribute to the MFA Debt Reserve through a demand note. The demand note will only be recorded as an asset and liability if a local government, under joint and several agreement of the regional district, defaults on the loan obligation. Upon this action of the default, the MFA may call the outstanding demand notes of the deficient regional district at which point the demand notes then become an asset and a liability of the associated members. Once the defaulting local government repays in full the defaulted position, the MFA will refund all called demand notes. It is generally unlikely that the funds will be demanded by the MFA, therefore the contingent liability has not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. As at December 31, 2012 the demand notes total $1,176,351 (2011 - $1,176,351).
These funds have been created to hold assets, which must be administered as directed by agreement or statute for certain beneficiaries. In accordance with Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) recommendations, trust funds are not included in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. Trust funds administered by the Corporation are as follows:

17. Basis of Segmented Reporting
The Corporation has adopted the Public Sector Accounting Board recommendation requiring financial information to be provided on a segmented basis. Municipal services have been segmented by grouping activities that have similar service objectives (by function). Revenues that are directly related to the cost of the function have been attributed to each segment. Expenditures reported for each segment include an allocation of internal equipment charges based on departmental usage of equipment. Interest is allocated to functions based on the purpose of the specific borrowing. Municipal Services are provided by departments and have been separately disclosed as follows: General Government General Government includes the Clerks Office, the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer, Finance, Human Resources and Corporate Planning, Legal Services and all other legislative services. Protective Services The Police Department is responsible for the safety of lives and property of citizens, to preserve peace and order, to prevent crimes from occurring, to detect offenders, and to enforce the law. The Fire Department is responsible for fire suppression, fire prevention programs, training and education related to prevention. Engineering, Public Works and Transportation The Engineering Department is responsible for the roads, transportation networks, drainage, street lighting, parking, snow removal, bridges, fleet maintenance and all related traffic services and administration. Community Planning The Community Planning Department manages urban development businesses and residents through municipal planning and community development. It ensures quality of building construction through enforcement of building codes and standards. It facilitates development by providing approval on development plans, zoning bylaws and building permit applications. Parks, Recreation and Culture The Parks, Recreation and Culture Department provides public service that contributes to neighbourhood development and sustainability through the provision of recreational and leisure programs. It provides services that contribute to the healthy living of the community through partnerships, promotion, and preventative education. Environmental Health and Solid Waste The Environmental Health section is responsible for the protection and enhancement of the environmental values of the municipality through education, enforcement, bylaw development, complaint investigation and response to incidents. The solid waste program is responsible for garbage collection and recycling. Utilities The Utilities include the water and sewer functions. The water program provides drinking water to the citizens of the municipality through its network of pipes; the sewer program is responsible for collecting disposal and transporting of sewage to the regional disposal facilities.

As a result of an actuarial evaluation of the future employee benefits completed in 2012, it was determined that the liability reported in the financial statements was understated as at December 31, 2011. These financial statements retroactively adjust this error. The net adjustment increased the Other Liabilities by $2,763,999 and decreased Accumulated Surplus by the same amount. The Payroll and Benefits Allowance non-statutory reserve was reduced in conjunction with the accrual recorded for the outstanding future employee benefits payable. The unappropriated surplus from the prior years remained
