Subject: Brampton Downtown Development Corporation (BDDC) Strategic Review: Findings and Forward Plan
Contact: John Corbett, CAO (Tel: 905-874-2625)
OVERVIEW
• At the March 20, 2013 meeting, Committee of Council endorsed the creation of the Office of the Central Area. At this meeting, Council also approved a staff recommendation to undertake a mandated review of the Brampton Downtown Development Corporation (BDDC).
• The purpose of this report is to present the findings and recommendations associated with this mandated Strategic Review of the BDDC.
• The firm of Malone Given Parsons (MGP) was retained to undertake this review. An executive summary of their study findings is attached.
• The BDDC has successfully fulfilled its marketing, promotion, communication, governance and administrative mandate. Since its inception, however, the development component of the BDDC mandate has not been achieved.
• MGP evaluated four options related to the BDDC and identified a preferred option, being Option #4. This option has two goals: first, separate the business improvement area (BIA) function from the current BDDC by restarting the Brampton Downtown Business Association with the legislated mandate and responsibility of managing the business improvement area (BIA) in the historic downtown governed by a management board, funding from the property tax levy and a municipal grant. Second, the BDDC mandate is solely focused on the development of property within an expanded geography encompassing the Central Area (Secondary Plan Area #7 and #36).
• Staff recommends that Option #4 be approved, and that an ad-hoc Transition Committee be formed to prepare an implementation and transition plan.
• Should Council adopt this recommendation, in order to provide BDDC members, BDDC Board of Directors and BDDC staff with stability and continuity during a transition period, staff recommends that the existing BDDC letters patent; the existing memorandum of understanding between the City of Brampton and the BDDC; the existing letter of understanding between the City of Brampton and the Brampton Downtown Business Association (BDBA); and the existing budget approval process remain in full-effect until Council considers and approves the Transition and Implementation Plan described in these staff recommendations.

CURRENT SITUATION
Study Objectives
BDDC Board Meeting: CAO and COO met with the BDDC Board of Directors and provided the terms of reference, project time-table and project governance related to the Strategic Review, and sought feedback.
External Consultant Retained: Malone Given Parsons was
commissioned to undertake the mandated review as
approved in the March 20, 2013 resolution.
Interview Consultation Phase: MGP conducted one-on
one interviews with stakeholders from the BDDC and its
members, members of Council and staff.
Project Steering Committee Meeting: Findings of the Strategic Review, including the four policy options, was presented to the ad-hoc Steering Committee comprised of the President of the BDDC, Chair of the BDDC Board, three Councillors on the BDDC Board of Directors, Councillors representing the Downtown and senior staff. Option #4 was identified as the preferred option by MGP.
BDDC Board Meeting: MGP presented the findings of the Strategic Review to the Board of Directors of the BDDC. Option #4 was identified as the preferred option. Staff outlined the next two-steps in the Council approval process.
Committee of Council Meeting: Presentation and Staff Recommendations. MGP presents its report of findings. A staff report is presented with recommendations.
Council Meeting: Proposed date for final Council decision, including minutes of the November 27, 2013 Committee of Council meeting.
The study mandate was to undertake a strategic reviewof the BDDC from its incorporation, and to evaluate the relationship between the City and the BDDC.
The study objectives were threefold:
1. Governance & Mandate Review
2. Program Review 3. Prepare Strategic Recommendations for the Consideration of the City
P2-S"
It was not the intention of this phase of the study to conduct a comprehensive administrative/operations review of the BDDC organization.
An executive summary of the BDDC Strategic Review, prepared by MGP, can be found in Appendix 1.
Policy Options Considered
MGP analysed and presented four options to the ad-hoc Steering Committee in October 2013:
1. Maintain existing mandate & structure of the BDDC - with strengthened delivery
2. Revert to BDBA & deactivate BDDC
3. (a) Split the organization - BIA & BDDC
3. (b) City does BIAfunction, BDDC focuses on development
4. Separate BIA function for downtown, BDDC geography expanded to encompass Central Area
Recommended Option
MGP recommended Option 4 - Separate BIA function for downtown, close coordination with Central Area Office, BDDC becomes a development corporation for an expanded geography encompassing the Central Area. In this option, responsibilities would be shared among the three organizations in the tollowing way:
BDBA City Ec Dev/Central Area Development Corporation Office
• Priority setting • Marketing with • Project identification • Planning BDBA • Project planning & • Advocacy • Business attraction feasibility • Community with BDBA • Joint ventures
Improvement Plan • Maintenance • Advocacy • Financial support • Operations • Coordinate
• Marketing with City • Parking approvals • Business attraction • Revitalization • Project management
with City • Beautification • Leasing • Events • Downtown planning • Marketing • Beautification • Finance
P2-<o
Scope of Powers and Governance
A development corporation focused on the Central Area would be guided by the following powers and governance structure.
Scope of Powers
• Economic development of the Central Area including the downtown.
• Lever municipal real estate assets and infrastructure.
• Plan projects. • Acquire land and buildings. • Detailed planning. • Enter into joint ventures. • Arrange finance. • Design, feasibility. • Project management. • Sale, lease, or otherwise disposal of
land or property. • Collect revenues. • Manage strategic investment as
directed by Council.
CORPORATE IMPLICATIONS
Implementation and Transition Plan
Governance
• Wholly owned by the Municipality. • Reports to Council. • Professional directors
encompassing skills in real estate development, planning, engineering, marketing, customer service, leasing, finance.
• Chair and directors nominated by a Committee of Council.
• City Treasurer is CFO initially. • New articles, management powers
and procedures, and decision rights.
• Transition MOU.
An implementation and transition plan is required to address municipal services, functions, legal, financial, legislated, governance, resourcing and timing matters associated with Option #4.
This plan is proposed to be developed by staff in association with an outside firm, and oversight of this implementation plan would be governed by an ad-hoc steering committee comprised of the Chair of the BDDC Board of Directors, President of the BDDC, the three Councillor representatives on the BDDC Board of Directors, two Councillors representing the Central Area, the CAO and senior City staff.
Staff is recommending that the ad-hoc Transition Committee include representation from the BDDC, and that the committee's mandate include community and member consultation on how to achieve Option #4.

2014 Budget Impact
The BDDC is presenting its 2014 budget to the City of Brampton Budget Committee on December 6, 2013. The City of Brampton currently provides a core funding grant of $264,000 from the non-departmental budget and an additional marketing/business development grant of $30,000 from the Economic Development Office budget. In addition, Council approves on an annual basis the BIA levy. Staff recommends that the existing budget approval process for the BDDC remains the same for the 2014 fiscal year (see below).
Status of Current BDDC in the Interim
In order to provide the BDDC membership, Board of Directors and staff with a level of stability and continuity during the proposed period of change, staff recommends that the existing BDDC letters patent; the existing memorandum of understanding between the City of Brampton and the BDDC; the existing memorandum of understanding between the City of Brampton and the Brampton Downtown Business Association (BDBA); and the existing budget approval process remain in full effect until Council approves the Transition and Implementation Plan described in this staff recommendation.
Timing and Transition
An Implementation and Transition Plan related to Option #4 is proposed to occur during the new term of Council commencing in 2014. A timetable shall be prepared as part of the ad-hoc Transition Committee's work plan.
Communications
Staff shall communicate Council's decision to BDDC staff and members of the Board of Directors. It is also recommended that the preferred option and transition process be communicated by staff to BDDC members at their next annual general meeting; and that they be involved in the Implementation and Transition Plan phase.
CONCLUSION
This report provides Committee of Council with information related to the mandated 10year Strategic Review of the BDDC and a forward plan related to the implementation of a realigned municipal service delivery model for Downtown Brampton and the Central Area.
