Chestermere Administration would like to thank all Stakeholder including City of
Chestermere staff, developers, and the Building Industry and Land Development
Association (BILD) who supported the work of this rate update. Chestermere also
acknowledges that Chestermere's off-site levy (OSL) model and reporting is based on
offsite levy model and report template developed by CORVUS Business Advisors Inc. and is
used in the development of this report.
Disclaimer
City of Chestermere has relied upon many third-party reports provided by
engineering/consulting advisors to provide most of the data and information used to
construct the offsite levy model and create the rates, such as planning data and
assumptions, development forecasts and assumptions, infrastructure costs and costs
estimates, allocations to benefiting parties, allocation to benefiting areas, historical
financial details, and other assumptions etc. As such, City of Chestermere makes no
guarantee as to the accuracy of the input data and information provided by these groups
or the results that stem from this data and information.
Offsite levy rates are not intended to stay static; they are based upon educated
assumptions and the best available information of the day. Planning assumptions, cost
estimates etc. can change each year. Accordingly, the Municipal Government Act requires
that offsite levy rates be updated with the most available information on a regular basis
and a status report provided to Council annually. When information changes, it will be
reflected in a future update, and rates adjusted accordingly.
Tables in this report are directly from the OSL model. The model rounds displayed rates to
the nearest dollar, while calculations use full precision. Minor discrepancies, less than
0.001%, may occur in totals due to this rounding, and for the purpose of this report are
considered insignificant.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
1 INTRODUCTION
Bylaw 013-25 amended by the City of Chestermere ("the City") in 2025 defines offsite levy
charges for roads, water, sanitary, stormwater, recreation, fire and library infrastructure in
the municipality. The City wishes to update this bylaw, amending certain infrastructure in
alignment with the City's current capital plans, ensuring updated costs and development
forecasts are reflected fairly and equitably in rates, and amending other key inputs and
variables thereby ensuring a financially sustainable community.
This report outlines the methodology and information used to update the offsite levy
charges for the City, as well as other key findings and recommendations.
The City maintains various capital plans, and these plans have been used to generate key
inputs for this offsite levy rates review. City staff and their engineering advisors reviewed
existing plans and identified offsite projects for roads, fire, water, sanitary, stormwater,
recreation, and library'.
The City's review also included:
Incorporation of offsite levy area measurements and land development forecasts.
Incorporation of infrastructure costs and allocation percentages for existing
development, new development, and other parties.
Reconciliation of offsite levy reserve opening balances.
Development of offsite levy rates and associated report using Chestermere's offsite
levy model.
Review of offsite levy rates with development industry, staff, and Council.
Offsite levy rates within the City's offsite levy model are forecast using a rolling 25-year
review period. During this review, a cut-off date of December 31st, 2025 was established (the
most recent year-end when the project commenced), and so the 25-year review period
stems from 2026 to 2050. Project expenditures, offsite levy receipts, and other financial
records were collected as "actuals" from City financial records up to the specified cut-off
date. Any financial details beyond the cut-off date are considered estimates. Upon
completion of the City's next rate update, information from January 1st, 2026, up to the new
cut-off date will be converted from estimates to actuals.
Costs that benefit development prior to and within the review period are included in rates.
Costs that benefit development beyond the review period (called "financial oversizing")
are excluded from rates. In future years, when rates are updated, and the rolling 25-year
period moves further out, offsite infrastructure costs beyond 2050 will gradually find their
way into rates.
l It is not within OSL scope of work to review or assess capital plans. Infrastructure requirements, costs, allocations
etc. are determined by the municipality and their engineering/consulting advisors through various technical
document.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
2 KEY FINDINGS
Key findings pertaining to the update of City offsite levy rates are as follows:
-
Offsite infrastructure costs to be included in the offsite levy bylaw totals approximately
$832.16 million (current dollars). An overview of offsite infrastructure costs and maps is
provided in Appendices Bl, Cl, D1, El, Fl, Gl, Hl.
-
Before determining how the infrastructure costs will be allocated to parties that benefit (e.g.,
existing development, new development, other municipalities etc.), financing provided by
way of special ear-marked grants and other contributions are deducted from offsite
infrastructure costs. For this update, the City has identified approximately $14.29 million in
special grants and contributions. An overview of special grants and contributions and
resulting net costs is provided in Appendices B2, C2, D2, E2, F2, G2 and H2.
-
The residual benefit allocated to existing development (the City's share) is approximately
$88.32 million. The share allocated to other stakeholders for joint benefiting projects have
been excluded from the model calculation at this time. (e.g. Rockyview and Alberta
Transportation contributions to the Highway 1 interchanges).
-
That portion of cost which is allocated to future development totals approximately $729.56
million {$336.56 million (oversizing) + $392.99 million (in rates)} and is based on the
allocations shown in Appendices B4, C4, D4, E4, F4, and G4. However, a portion of the cost
allocated to future development is beyond the 25-year review period (called "financial
oversizing"). Financial oversizing is determined based on the anticipated year of construction
(construction staging) which is provided in Appendices B3, C3, D3, E3, F3, G3, and H3.
-
Of the $729.56 million in total offsite infrastructure costs allocated to future development, the
share allocated to future development that is included in rates today (the offsite levy share)
is approximately $393.00 million, as shown in the table below. A complete summary of offsite
infrastructure net cost "flow-thru" is provided in Appendices B6, C6, D6, E6, F6, G6, H6.

KEY FINDINGS
Key findings pertaining to the update of City offsite levy rates are as follows:
Offsite infrastructure costs to be included in the offsite levy bylaw totals approximately
$832.16 million (current dollars). An overview of offsite infrastructure costs and maps is
provided in Appendices B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1.
Before determining how the infrastructure costs will be allocated to parties that benefit (e.g.,
existing development, new development, other municipalities etc.), financing provided by

infrastructure costs. For this update, the City has identified approximately $14.29 million in
special grants and contributions. An overview of special grants and contributions and
resulting net costs is provided in Appendices B2, C2, D2, E2, F2, G2 and H2.
The residual benefit allocated to existing development (the City's share) is approximately

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
Before allocating infrastructure costs to benefitting lands, offsite levy costs must be reduced by the
amount of levies collected to date. Up to December 31st, 2025, the City has collected approximately
$97.60 million as shown in Appendices B5, C5, D5, E5, F5, G5, and H5.

To facilitate the allocation of infrastructure costs to those lands that benefit from the
infrastructure, the City is parsed into 22 offsite levy areas. The area boundaries, numbering
schema, and area measurements are described in Appendix A along with an offsite levy map;
and an overview of offsite infrastructure allocations to each benefitting area is provided in
Appendices B7, C7, D7, E7, F7, G7, and H7.
To calculate offsite levy rates, it is necessary to forecast the amount of land that will develop
during the 25-year review period. Land development forms the denominator of the rate
calculation. A larger denominator reduces rates but could potentially result in under-collection
thereby placing an increased burden on tax payers. A smaller denominator increases rates but
could potentially result in over-collection thereby placing an increased burden on future
development. Accordingly, land development forecasts need to be (a) reasonable and reflect
current planning assumptions including the current pace of development in the community,
and (b) updated regularly.
For this update, the City is forecasting development of approximately 727.9 ha. over the 25-year
review period. The land development forecast and underpinning assumptions are shown in
Appendix A. This represents a 38.1 ha decrease since the 2025 update, which moderates the
increase in rates as discussed further below.
Offsite Levy Accounts. The City is managing offsite levy receipts and withdrawals via 7
accounts, in alignment with MGA requirements (i.e., one account for each infrastructure type).
The reason that an account is required for each infrastructure type is because offsite levies can
only be used for the type of infrastructure for which they were collected (e.g., water levies can
only be used to construct water offsite infrastructure, not sanitary infrastructure etc.). An
overview of updated account balances is shown in Appendices B8, C8, D8, E8, F8, G8, and H8.
Interest. Offsite levy accounts (both actual and forecast) are impacted by interest. Actual

reserve inflows and forecast account balances that are in a positive position earn interest (as
required by the MGA). Actual reserve outflows and forecast account balances that are in a
negative position are charged interest (forecast balances that are negative indicate that
front-ending will be required).
An overview of account interest rates and forecast balances over the 25-year review period is
shown in Appendices B9, C9, D9, E9, F9, G9 and H9.
Front-ending. Front-ending is an extremely important concept that underpins rigorous
management of offsite levies. Front-ending represents debts owed by future development to the
municipality for past construction undertaken by the municipality on behalf of future
development--i.e., a municipality will often pay for its share of an offsite infrastructure project in
addition to that portion of the project which benefits future development when offsite levy reserve
balances are insufficient to pay for future development's share of the project.
Because front-ending balances represent debts owed to the municipality, they need to be
clearly reflected in official City documents such as levy account balances, financial statements
(e.g., front-ending notes), or accounts receivables, etc. This documentation enables the City to
collect on these debts as future development occurs, and offsite levies are collected.
At end 2025, the overall net front-ending due to the City was $34.46 million. A complete
reconciliation of balances for each of the 7 accounts is provided in Appendices B8, C8, D8, E8, F8,
G8 and H8.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
3 RATES
For future development to pay for its share of the $832.16 million infrastructure costs either
built already or contained in the City's future capital plans, rates are $431,720 per net hectare
on a weighted average basis. These rates reflect the actual cost of infrastructure required to
facilitate development in the City. A comparison of offsite levy rates with other municipalities
is summarized in Appendix G.
Since the last update, rates have increased an weighted average of -5.32%. The reason for
this increase is increase of infrastructure costs, change of project timing, and additional
projects within the 25-year review period. The land development forecast has decreased
-4.97%.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
Total net development area, the amount of land available for development across all offsite
levy areas, is approximately 2047 net ha. In calculating net development area only, those
lands remaining to be developed (at Dec 31, 2016) that have not previously paid offsite levies
have been considered (as required by legislation/regulation). Further, allowances have been
made to net development area calculations for environmental reserves, municipal reserves,
arterial road right of way and public utility lots dedicated for off-site levy projects.

*Note: 1 Hectare (ha.) = -2.47 Acres
Net development area definitions will be applied in determining offsite levy obligations of
developers on application for subdivision or development within the City of Chestermere.
Net development area is defined as follows:
-
Gross Area - The area of lands to be developed in hectares that have not previously
paid an offsite levy.
o
Less: Any environmental reserves contained within the development area.
o
Less: Any allowance for Municipal Reserves.
o
Less: Arterial road right of way that bisects the development lands.
o
Less: Public utility lots dedicated to off-site levy projects.
-
Equals: Net Developable Area, which is the area subject to offsite levies.
A2. Development Staging
A rate planning period of 25-years underpins the offsite levy model and rate calculations.
Many municipalities use this planning period as it provides a reasonable timeframe to
recoup the costs associated with offsite levy infrastructure construction, and it aligns with
the timeframes of many municipal capital planning and construction cycles.
Of the 2047.33 net ha. of development area available across all offsite levy development
areas, planners estimate that approximately 727.90 net ha. (35.6%) will develop during the
next 25-years (the rate planning period) as shown in the tables below.

APPENDIX B: WATER OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE
Bl. Water Offsite Infrastructure Costs
To support future growth, water offsite infrastructure is required. The estimated cost of this
infrastructure is based upon: (a) actual construction costs to the cut-off date, (b)
debenture interest associated with financing, and (c) future cost estimates. Total cost is
approximately $149.13 million as outlined in the table below. Actual costs, debenture
interest (if any), and cost estimates were provided by City staff. It is important to note that
these costs represent "gross" costs, of which only a portion will go to support future
development during the 25- year review period. The remainder of this section outlines how
the "net" costs for future development are determined.

APPENDIX B: WATER OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE
B1. Water Offsite Infrastructure Costs
To support future growth, water offsite infrastructure is required. The estimated cost of this
infrastructure is based upon: (a) actual construction costs to the cut-off date, (b)
debenture interest associated with financing, and (c) future cost estimates. Total cost is
approximately $149.13 million as outlined in the table below. Actual costs, debenture
interest (if any), and cost estimates were provided by City staff. It is important to note that
these costs represent "gross" costs, of which only a portion will go to support future
development during the 25- year review period. The remainder of this section outlines how
the "net" costs for future development are determined.
Summary of Water Offsite Infrastructure
*Costs estimates are reflected in current dollars.
**Estimates include engineering costs and contingencies.
***Offsite levy project details, allocations, etc. were determined by City staff and their engineering/consulting
advisors.
****Financing interest costs to date are included in the cost of work completed for Project #2.
***** Project numbering may be out of sequence as rows containing deleted projects are hidden.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
B2. Water Offsite Infrastructure Grants & Contributions to Date
The MGA enables the City to allocate the costs of offsite infrastructure to future
development, other than those costs that have been provided by way of special grant or
contribution (i.e., contributed infrastructure). The City has/will receive approximately $3.50
million in special grants and contributions for water offsite levy infrastructure as shown in
the table below (note, if the City receives other grants or contributions in the future, it will
be reflected in one of the annual updates and rates adjusted accordingly). The result is that
the total reduced project estimated cost is $145.63 million.

*Allocations to future development (vs municipal share etc.) were determined by City staff and their
engineering/consulting advisors.
**Financial oversizing is determined by separating out the pro rata portion of developer cost beyond the 25-year
review period, in comparison with the anticipated year of construction. As the years move forward and rates are
updated, these additional developer costs will be included in rate calculations. For example, a project which is
slated to be constructed in year 20 of the 25-year review period will have 20% (5/25) of its costs in rates today,
and 80% (20/25) of its costs will sit beyond the 25-year review period.
B5. Existing Receipts & Adjusted Levy Cost
Using the offsite levy share percentages shown in the previous section and applying those
percentages to project costs results in an offsite levy cost of approximately $66.09 million.
However, prior to allocating these costs to benefiting areas, existing offsite levy receipts
collected from developers need to be considered in determining the residual/net costs to
developers. The City has collected $19.29 million ($7.97 million + $11.32 million) in offsite
levies to date and results in an adjusted offsite levy cost of approximately $47.61 million.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
B9. Development and Water Infrastructure Staging Impacts
Water offsite infrastructure will be constructed in staged fashion over the 25-year review
period. We have reviewed the availability of offsite levy funds to meet these construction
requirements and found that offsite levy reserve funds will not be sufficient to pay for
construction of water infrastructure from time to time--front ending of infrastructure will be
required. A front-ender is the party that constructs and pays up front for infrastructure that
benefits other parties. The front-ender (be it a municipality or a developer) is reimbursed
over time as levies are collected, and in accordance with the municipality's front-ending
repayment policies.
To compensate parties for capital they provide in front-ending offsite infrastructure
construction, a 4.46% interest allowance has been charged to the reserve when it is
forecast to be in a negative balance. Further, a 1.90% interest credit has been provided to
the reserve when it is forecast to be in a positive balance. The graph and table below outline
the forecast water levy reserve balances over the 25-year development period.
If necessary, an interest staging adjustment has been applied to rates (slightly positive or
slightly negative) to ensure that the forecast reserve balance at the end of the 25-year
review period always returns to break-even (i.e., developers are not charged too much
thereby providing a windfall to the City, nor are they charged too little thereby placing an
unequitable burden on taxpayers)

B9. Development and Water Infrastructure Staging Impacts
Water offsite infrastructure will be constructed in staged fashion over the 25-year review
period. We have reviewed the availability of offsite levy funds to meet these construction
requirements and found that offsite levy reserve funds will not be sufficient to pay for
construction of water infrastructure from time to time--front ending of infrastructure will be
required. A front-ender is the party that constructs and pays up front for infrastructure that
benefits other parties. The front-ender (be it a municipality or a developer) is reimbursed
over time as levies are collected, and in accordance with the municipality's front-ending
repayment policies.
To compensate parties for capital they provide in front-ending offsite infrastructure
construction, a 4.46% interest allowance has been charged to the reserve when it is
forecast to be in a negative balance. Further, a 1.90% interest credit has been provided to
the reserve when it is forecast to be in a positive balance. The graph and table below outline
the forecast water levy reserve balances over the 25-year development period.
If necessary, an interest staging adjustment has been applied to rates (slightly positive or
slightly negative) to ensure that the forecast reserve balance at the end of the 25-year
review period always returns to break-even (i.e., developers are not charged too much
thereby providing a windfall to the City, nor are they charged too little thereby placing an
unequitable burden on taxpayers)

4 1n determining staging adjustments, the offsite levy model also applies inflation to future rates. In so
doing it acknowledges that rates must keep pace with inflation just as costs do. Also, it acknowledges
that an offsite levy rate of $X paid today is not worth the same as the equivalent $X rate paid in the
future (i.e., it is discounted).

APPENDIX C: SANITARY OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE
Cl. Sanitary Offsite Infrastructure Costs
To support future growth, sanitary offsite infrastructure is required. The estimated cost of
this infrastructure is based upon: (a) actual construction costs to the cut-off date, (b)
debenture interest associated with financing, and (c) future cost estimates. Total cost is
approximately $145.66 million as outlined in the table below. Actual costs, debenture
interest (if any), and cost estimates were provided by City staff. It is important to note that
these costs represent "gross" costs, of which only a portion will go to support future
development during the 25-year review period. The remainder of this section outlines how
the "net" costs for future development are determined.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
C2. Sanitary Offsite Infrastructure Grants & Contributions to Date
The MGA enables the City to allocate the costs of offsite infrastructure to future
development, other than those costs that have been provided by way of special grant or
contribution (i.e., contributed infrastructure). The City has/will receive $4.40 million in
special grants and contributions ($3.30 million + $1.10 million) for sanitary offsite levy
infrastructure as shown in the table below (note, if the City receives additional grants or
contributions in the future, it will be reflected in one of the annual updates and rates
adjusted accordingly). The result is that the total reduced project estimated cost is $141.26
million.

*The contribution of $1.10 million for Project #3 was provided by the City of Calgary.
C3. Sanitary Infrastructure Staging
The timing of construction is used to determine the impact of inflation on cost, the impact
of forecast reserve balances, and the estimate of financial oversizing (described in the
section that follows). The City anticipates construction of offsite infrastructure as outlined
in the table below. Note, if this schedule is adjusted in the future, it will be reflected in one of
the annual rate/bylaw updates.

C2. Sanitary Offsite Infrastructure Grants & Contributions to Date
The MGA enables the City to allocate the costs of offsite infrastructure to future
development, other than those costs that have been provided by way of special grant or
contribution (i.e., contributed infrastructure). The City has/will receive $4.40 million in
special grants and contributions ($3.30 million + $1.10 million) for sanitary offsite levy
infrastructure as shown in the table below (note, if the City receives additional grants or
contributions in the future, it will be reflected in one of the annual updates and rates
adjusted accordingly). The result is that the total reduced project estimated cost is $141.26
million.

*Allocations to future development (vs municipal share etc.) were determined by City staff and their
engineering/consulting advisors.
**Financial oversizing is determined by separating out the pro rata portion of developer cost beyond the 25-year
review period, in comparison with the anticipated year of construction. As the years move forward and rates are
updated, these additional developer costs will be included in rate calculations. For example, a project which is
slated to be constructed in year 20 of the 25-year review period will have 20% (5/25) of its costs in rates today,
and 80% (20/25) of its costs will sit beyond the 25-year review period.
C5. Existing Receipts & Adjusted Levy Cost
Using the offsite levy share percentages shown in the previous section and applying those
percentages to project costs results in an offsite levy cost of approximately $69.14 million.
However, prior to allocating these costs to benefiting areas, existing offsite levy receipts
collected from developers need to be considered in determining the residual/net costs to
developers. The City has collected $15.48 million ($6.69 million + $8.78 million) in offsite
levies to date and results in an adjusted offsite levy cost of approximately $53.67 million.

C9. Development and Sanitary Infrastructure Staging Impacts
Sanitary offsite infrastructure will be constructed in staged fashion over the 25-year
development period. We have reviewed the availability of offsite levy funds to meet these
construction requirements and found that offsite levy reserve funds will not be sufficient to
pay for construction of sanitary infrastructure from time to time--front ending of
infrastructure will be required. A front-ender is the party that constructs and pays up front
for infrastructure that benefits other parties. The front-ender (be it a municipality or a
developer) is reimbursed over time as levies are collected, and in accordance with the
municipality's front-ending repayment policies.
To compensate parties for capital they provide in front-ending offsite infrastructure
construction, a 4.46% interest allowance has been charged to the reserve when it is
forecast to be in a negative balance. Further, a 1.90% interest credit has been provided to
the reserve when it is forecast to be in a positive balance. The graph and table below outline
the forecast sanitary levy reserve balances over the 25-year development period.
If necessary, an interest staging adjustment has been applied to rates (slightly positive or
slightly negative) to ensure that the forecast reserve balance at the end of the 25-year
review period always returns to break-even (i.e., developers are not charged too much
thereby providing a windfall to the City, nor are they charged too little thereby placing an
unequitable burden on taxpayers).

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
APPENDIX D: TRANSPORTATION OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE
Dl. Transportation Offsite Infrastructure Costs
To support future growth, transportation offsite infrastructure is required. The estimated
cost of this infrastructure is based upon: (a) actual construction costs to the cut-off date,
(b) debenture interest associated with financing, and (c) future cost estimates. Total cost
is approximately $258.30 million as outlined in the table below. Actual costs, debenture
interest (if any), and cost estimates were provided by City staff. It is important to note that
these costs represent "gross" costs, of which only a portion will go to support future
development during the 25-year review period. The remainder of this section outlines how
the "net" costs for future development are determined.

D2. Transportation Offsite Infrastructure Grants & Contributions to Date
The MGA enables the City to allocate the costs of offsite infrastructure to future
development, other than those costs that have been provided by way of special grant or
contribution (i.e., contributed infrastructure). The City has/will receive $6.39 million in
special grants and contributions ($6.09 million + $0.29 million) for transportation offsite
levy infrastructure as shown in the table below (note, if the City receives other grants or
contributions in the future, it will be reflected in one of the annual updates and rates
adjusted accordingly). The result is that the total reduced project estimated cost is $251.92
million.

*Allocations to future development (vs municipal share etc.) were determined by City staff and their engineering/consulting
advisors.
**Financial oversizing is determined by separating out the pro rata portion of developer cost beyond the 25-year
review period, in comparison with the anticipated year of construction. As the years move forward and rates are
updated, these additional developer costs will be included in rate calculations. For example, a project which is
slated to be constructed in year 20 of the 25-year review period will have 20% (5/25) of its costs in rates today,
and 80% (20/25) of its costs will sit beyond the 25-year review period.
D5. Existing Receipts & Adjusted Levy Cost
Using the offsite levy share percentages shown in the previous section and applying those
percentages to project costs results in an offsite levy cost of approximately $108.96 million.
However, prior to allocating these costs to benefiting areas, existing offsite levy receipts
collected from developers need to be considered in determining the residual/net costs to
developers. The City has collected $31.26 million ($4.93 million + $26.3 million) in offsite
levies to date, and results in an adjusted offsite levy cost of approximately $77.70 million.

D9. Development and Transportation Infrastructure Staging Impacts
Transportation offsite infrastructure will be constructed in staged fashion over the 25-year
review period. We have reviewed the availability of offsite levy funds to meet these
construction requirements and found that offsite levy reserve funds will not be sufficient to
pay for construction of transportation infrastructure from time to time-front ending of
infrastructure will be required. A front-ender is the party that constructs and pays up front
for infrastructure that benefits other parties. The front-ender (be it a municipality or a
developer) is reimbursed over time as levies are collected, and in accordance with the
municipality's front-ending repayment policies.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
To compensate parties for capital they provide in front-ending offsite infrastructure
construction, a 4.46% interest allowance has been charged to the reserve when it is
forecast to be in a negative balance. Further, a 1.90% interest credit has been provided to
the reserve when it is forecast to be in a positive balance. The graph and table below outline
the forecast transportation levy reserve balances over the 25-year development period.
If necessary, an interest staging adjustment has been applied to rates (slightly positive or
slightly negative) to ensure that the forecast reserve balance at the end of the 25-year
review period always returns to break-even (i.e., developers are not charged too much
thereby providing a windfall to the City, nor are they charged too little thereby placing an
unequitable burden on taxpayers).

6 In determining staging adjustments, the offsite levy model also applies inflation to future rates. In so doing it
acknowledges that rates must keep pace with inflation just as costs do. Also, it acknowledges that an offsite levy
rate of $X paid today is not worth the same as the equivalent $X rate paid in the future (i.e., it is discounted).

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
APPENDIX E: STORMWATER OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE
El. Stormwater Offsite Infrastructure Costs
To support future growth, stormwater offsite infrastructure is required. The estimated cost
of this infrastructure is based upon: (a) actual construction costs to the cut-off date, (b)
debenture interest associated with financing, and (c) future cost estimates. Total cost is
approximately $115.34 million as outlined in the table below. Actual costs, debenture
interest (if any), and cost estimates were provided by City staff. It is important to note that
these costs represent "gross" costs, of which only a portion will go to support future
development during the 25-year review period. The remainder of this section outlines how
the "net" costs for future development are determined.

The MGA enables the City to allocate the costs of offsite infrastructure to future
development, other than those costs that have been provided by way of special grant or
contribution (i.e., contributed infrastructure). The City has/will receive $0.00 in special
grants and contributions for stormwater offsite levy infrastructure as shown in the table
below (note, if the City receives other grants or contributions in the future, it will be reflected
in one of the annual updates and rates adjusted accordingly). The result is that the total

APPENDIX E: STORMWATER OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE
E1. Stormwater Offsite Infrastructure Costs
To support future growth, stormwater offsite infrastructure is required. The estimated cost
of this infrastructure is based upon: (a) actual construction costs to the cut-off date, (b)
debenture interest associated with financing, and (c) future cost estimates. Total cost is
approximately $115.34 million as outlined in the table below. Actual costs, debenture
interest (if any), and cost estimates were provided by City staff. It is important to note that
these costs represent "gross" costs, of which only a portion will go to support future
development during the 25-year review period. The remainder of this section outlines how
the "net" costs for future development are determined.

*Allocations to future development (vs municipal share etc.) were determined by City staff and their
engineering/consulting advisors.
**Financial oversizing is determined by separating out the pro rata portion of developer cost beyond the 25-year
review period, in comparison with the anticipated year of construction. As the years move forward and rates are
updated, these additional developer costs will be included in rate calculations. For example, a project which is
slated to be constructed in year 20 of the 25-year review period will have 20% (5/25) of its costs in rates today,
and 80% (20/25) of its costs will sit beyond the 25-year review period.
E5. Existing Receipts & Adjusted Levy Cost
Using the offsite levy share percentages shown in the previous section and applying those
percentages to project costs results in an offsite levy cost of approximately $77.39 million.
However, prior to allocating these costs to benefiting areas, existing offsite levy receipts
collected from developers need to be considered in determining the residual/net costs to
developers. The City has collected $15.34 million in offsite levies to date (0.59 million +
$14.75 million), and results in an adjusted offsite levy cost of approximately $62.05 million.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
E9. Development and Stormwater Infrastructure Staging Impacts
Stormwater offsite infrastructure will be constructed in staged fashion over the 25-year
review period. We have reviewed the availability of offsite levy funds to meet these
construction requirements and found that offsite levy reserve funds will not be sufficient to
pay for construction of stormwater infrastructure from time to time-front ending of
infrastructure will be required. A front-ender is the party that constructs and pays up front
for infrastructure that benefits other parties. The front-ender (be it a municipality or a
developer) is reimbursed over time as levies are collected, and in accordance with the
municipality's front-ending repayment policies.
To compensate parties for capital they provide in front-ending offsite infrastructure
construction, a 4.46% interest allowance has been charged to the reserve when it is
forecast to be in a negative balance. Further, a 1.90% interest credit has been provided to
the reserve when it is forecast to be in a positive balance. The graph and table below outline
the forecast stormwater levy reserve balances over the 25-year development period.
If necessary, an interest staging adjustment has been applied to rates (slightly positive or
slightly negative) to ensure that the forecast reserve balance at the end of the 25-year
review period always returns to break-even (i.e., developers are not charged too much
thereby providing a windfall to the City, nor are they charged too little thereby placing an
unequitable burden on taxpayers).

7 In determining staging adjustments, the offsite levy model also applies inflation to future rates. In so doing it
acknowledges that rates must keep pace with inflation just as costs do. Also, it acknowledges that an offsite levy
rate of $X paid today is not worth the same as the equivalent $X rate paid in the future (i.e., it is discounted).

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
APPENDIX F: RECREATION OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE
Fl. Recreation Offsite Infrastructure Costs
To support future growth, recreation offsite infrastructure is required. The estimated cost of
this infrastructure is based upon: (a) actual construction costs to the cut-off date, (b)
debenture interest associated with financing, and (c) future cost estimates. Total cost is
approximately $124.84 million as outlined in the table below. Actual costs, debenture
interest (if any), and cost estimates were provided by City staff. It is important to note that
these costs represent "gross" costs, of which only a portion will go to support future
development during the 25-year review period. The remainder of this section outlines how
the "net" costs for future development are determined.

F2. Recreation Offsite Infrastructure Grants & Contributions to Date
The MGA enables the City to allocate the costs of offsite infrastructure to future
development, other than those costs that have been provided by way of special grant or
contribution (i.e., contributed infrastructure). The City has/will receive $0.00 million in
special grants and contributions for recreation offsite levy infrastructure as shown in the
table below (note, if the City receives other grants or contributions in the future, it will be
reflected in one of the annual updates and rates adjusted accordingly). The result is that
the total reduced project estimated cost is $124.84 million.

*Allocations to future development (vs municipal share etc.) were determined by City staff and their
engineering/consulting advisors.
**Financial oversizing is determined by separating out the pro rata portion of developer cost beyond the 25-year
review period, in comparison with the anticipated year of construction. As the years move forward and rates are
updated, these additional developer costs will be included in rate calculations. For example, a project which is
slated to be constructed in year 20 of the 25-year review period will have 20% (5/25) of its costs in rates today,
and 80% (20/25) of its costs will sit beyond the 25-year review period.
F5. Existing Receipts & Adjusted Levy Cost
Using the offsite levy share percentages shown in the previous section and applying those
percentages to project costs results in an offsite levy cost of approximately $46.20 million.
However, prior to allocating these costs to benefiting areas, existing offsite levy receipts
collected from developers need to be considered in determining the residual/net costs to
developers. The City has collected $13.81 million ($2.24 million + $11.57 million) in offsite
levies and park facility fees to date, and results in an adjusted offsite levy cost of
approximately $32.38 million.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
construction requirements and found that offsite levy reserve funds will not be sufficient to
pay for construction of recreation infrastructure from time to time--front ending of
infrastructure will be required. A front-ender is the party that constructs and pays up front
for infrastructure that benefits other parties. The front-ender (be it a municipality or a
developer) is reimbursed over time as levies are collected, and in accordance with the
municipality's front-ending repayment policies.
To compensate parties for capital they provide in front-ending offsite infrastructure
construction, a 4.46% interest allowance has been charged to the reserve when it is
forecast to be in a negative balance. Further, a 1.90% interest credit has been provided to
the reserve when it is forecast to be in a positive balance. The graph and table below outline
the forecast recreation levy reserve balances over the 25-year development period.
If necessary, an interest staging adjustment has been applied to rates (slightly positive or
slightly negative) to ensure that the forecast reserve balance at the end of the 25-year
review period always returns to break-even (i.e., developers are not charged too much
thereby providing a windfall to the City, nor are they charged too little thereby placing an
unequitable burden on taxpayers).

8 In determining staging adjustments, the offsite levy model also applies inflation to future rates. In so doing it
acknowledges that rates must keep pace with inflation just as costs do. Also, it acknowledges that an offsite levy
rate of $X paid today is not worth the same as the equivalent $X rate paid in the future (i.e., it is discounted).

APPENDIX G: FIRE STATIONS OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE
Gl. Fire Offsite Infrastructure Costs
To support future growth, fire facility offsite infrastructure is required. The estimated cost of
this infrastructure is based upon: (a) actual construction costs to the cut-off date, (b)
debenture interest associated with financing, and (c) future cost estimates. Total cost is
approximately $14.89 million as outlined in the table below. Actual costs, debenture interest
(if any), and cost estimates were provided by City staff. It is important to note that these
costs represent "gross" costs, of which only a portion will go to support future development
during the 25-year review period. The remainder of this section outlines how the "net" costs
for future development are determined.

The MGA enables the City to allocate the costs of offsite infrastructure to future
development, other than those costs that have been provided by way of special grant or
contribution (i.e., contributed infrastructure). The City has/will receive $0.00 million in
special grants and contributions for fire offsite levy infrastructure as shown in the table
below (note, if the City receives other grants or contributions in the future, it will be reflected
in one of the annual updates and rates adjusted accordingly). The result is that the total
reduced project estimated cost is $14.89 million.

*Allocations to future development (vs municipal share etc.) were determined by City staff and their
engineering/consulting advisors.
**Financial oversizing is determined by separating out the pro rata portion of developer cost beyond the 25-year
review period, in comparison with the anticipated year of construction. As the years move forward and rates are
updated, these additional developer costs will be included in rate calculations. For example, a project which is
slated to be constructed in year 20 of the 25-year review period will have 20% (5/25) of its costs in rates today,
and 80% (20/25) of its costs will sit beyond the 25-year review period.
G5. Existing Receipts & Adjusted Levy Cost
Using the offsite levy share percentages shown in the previous section and applying those
percentages to project costs results in an offsite levy cost of approximately $14.89 million.
However, prior to allocating these costs to benefiting areas, existing offsite levy receipts
collected from developers need to be considered in determining the residual/net costs to
developers. The City has collected $2.19 million in offsite levies to date, and results in an
adjusted offsite levy cost of approximately $12.70 million.

City of Chestermere Offsite Levy Rates Update
G9. Development and Fire Infrastructure Staging Impacts
Fire offsite infrastructure will be constructed in staged fashion over the 25-year
review period. We have reviewed the availability of offsite levy funds to meet these
construction requirements and found that offsite levy reserve funds will not be
sufficient to pay for construction of fire infrastructure from time to time--front
ending of infrastructure will be required. A front-ender is the party that constructs
and pays up front for infrastructure that benefits other parties. The front-ender (be
it a municipality or a developer) is reimbursed over time as levies are collected,
and in accordance with the municipality's front-ending repayment policies.
To compensate parties for capital they provide in front-ending offsite
infrastructure construction, a 4.46% interest allowance has been charged to the
reserve when it is forecast to be in a negative balance. Further, a 1.90% interest
credit has been provided to the reserve when it is forecast to be in a positive
balance. The graph and table below outline the forecast fire levy reserve balances
over the 25-year development period.
If necessary, an interest staging adjustment has been applied to rates (slightly
positive or slightly negative) to ensure that the forecast reserve balance at the end
of the 25-year review period always returns to break-even (i.e., developers are not
charged too much thereby providing a windfall to the City, nor are they charged
too little thereby placing an unequitable burden on taxpayers).

9 In determining staging adjustments, the offsite levy model also applies inflation to future rates. In so doing it
acknowledges that rates must keep pace with inflation just as costs do. Also, it acknowledges that an offsite levy rate
of $X paid today is not worth the same as the equivalent $X rate paid in the future (i.e., it is discounted).

APPENDIX H: LIBRARY OFFSITE INFRASTRUCTURE
Hl. Library Offsite Infrastructure Costs
To support future growth, library offsite infrastructure is required. The estimated cost of this
infrastructure is based upon: (a) actual construction costs to the cut-off date, (b)
debenture interest associated with financing, and (c) future cost estimates. Total cost is
approximately $24.00 million as outlined in the table below. Actual costs, debenture
interest (if any), and cost estimates were provided by City staff. It is important to note that
these costs represent "gross" costs, of which only a portion will go to support future
development during the 25-year review period. The remainder of this section outlines how
the "net" costs for future development are determined.

H2. Library Offsite Infrastructure Grants & Contributions to Date
The MGA enables the City to allocate the costs of offsite infrastructure to future
development, other than those costs that have been provided by way of special grant or
contribution (i.e., contributed infrastructure). The City has/will receive $0.00 million in
special grants and contributions for library offsite levy infrastructure as shown in the table
below (note, if the City receives other grants or contributions in the future, it will be reflected
in one of the annual updates and rates adjusted accordingly). The result is that the total
reduced project estimated cost is $24.00 million.

*Allocations to future development (vs municipal share etc.) were determined by City staff and their
engineering/consulting advisors.
**Financial oversizing is determined by separating out the pro rata portion of developer cost beyond the 25-year
review period, in comparison with the anticipated year of construction. As the years move forward and rates are
updated, these additional developer costs will be included in rate calculations. For example, a project which is
slated to be constructed in year 20 of the 25-year review period will have 20% (5/25) of its costs in rates today,
and 80% (20/25) of its costs will sit beyond the 25-year review period.
H5. Existing Receipts & Adjusted Levy Cost
Using the offsite levy share percentages shown in the previous section and applying those
percentages to project costs results in an offsite levy cost of approximately $9.51 million.
However, prior to allocating these costs to benefiting areas, existing offsite levy receipts
collected from developers need to be considered in determining the residual/net costs to
developers. The City has collected $0.22 million in offsite levies to date, and results in an
adjusted offsite levy cost of approximately $9.29million.

H9. Development and Library Infrastructure Staging Impacts
Library offsite infrastructure will be constructed in staged fashion over the 25-year
review period. We have reviewed the availability of offsite levy funds to meet these
construction requirements and found that offsite levy reserve funds will not be
sufficient to pay for construction of library infrastructure from time to time--front
ending of infrastructure will be required. A front-ender is the party that constructs
and pays up front for infrastructure that benefits other parties. The front-ender (be
it a municipality or a developer) is reimbursed over time as levies are collected,
and in accordance with the municipality's front-ending repayment policies.
To compensate parties for capital they provide in front-ending offsite
infrastructure construction, a 4.46% interest allowance has been charged to the
reserve when it is forecast to be in a negative balance. Further, a 1.90% interest
credit has been provided to the reserve when it is forecast to be in a positive
balance. The graph and table below outline the forecast fire levy reserve balances
over the 25-year development period.
If necessary, an interest staging adjustment has been applied to rates (slightly
positive or slightly negative) to ensure that the forecast reserve balance at the end
of the 25-year review period always returns to break-even (i.e., developers are not
charged too much thereby providing a windfall to the City, nor are they charged
too little thereby placing an unequitable burden on taxpayers).
