Overview
2017 formula allocation $100,429
2018 proposed formula allocation $142,637
2019 proposed formula allocation $222,386
Infrastructure Index -0.070
Percentage points away from median -5.0
Eligibility for 2016 top-up intake Eligible
Top-up funding cap*$1,756,934
* Calculated by subtracting your community's combined 2017 and 2018 formula allocations from $2-million.
Top-up funding
The new top-up component will allow municipalities with critical infrastructure projects to submit proposals to bring their total OCIF
funding up to $2 million over two years. Eligibility for the 2016 intake is targeted to communities whose formula grants in 2017 and
2018 add up to less than $2 million and who did not receive funding under the last application-based intake.
If your community is eligible, you may apply for up to 90% of a project's eligible costs or the top-up funding cap noted in the table
below (whichever is less). The top-up funding cap is based on the amount your community is receiving under the formula-based
component.
Formula-based funding
Your community's formula-based allocation of funding (allocation) under the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund for the next three
years is as follows:
Next allocation notice
You will receive an updated allocation notice in 2017. It will advise you of your 2020 proposed formula-based allocation, as well as
eligibility and maximum funding available, if any, to your community under the 2017 intake of the top-up component.
Starting in January 2017, the Province proposes to make payments in accordance with the following schedule
• Allocations of $150,000 or less will be provided in one payment;
• Allocations greater than $150,000 but less than $1 million will be provided through 6 payments; and
• Allocations greater than $1 million will be provided through 12 payments.

Adjusted Core Infrastructure
Table 1 - Calculation of Adjusted Core Infrastructure
A Adjusted Core Infrastructure: A1 + (A2 x A3) $133,170,614
1. Municipality's core infrastructure $58,199,426
2. Core infrastructure of upper tier $568,950,281
3. Weighted assessment ratio (% of upper tier)13.1771%
Data Sources
• Core infrastructure: assets valued at cost as reported in Schedule 51 of the Financial Information Return (FIR).
The best of 2014 or 2015 FIR data is used - whichever yields a higher total core infrastructure value for the municipality.
FIR Categories included are:
Line Item
611 Roads - Paved
612 Roads - Unpaved
613 Roads - Bridges and Culverts
614 Roadways - Traffic Operations & Roadside Maintenance
621 Winter Control - except Sidewalks, Parking Lots
622 Winter Control - Sidewalks, Parking Lots only
650 Street Lighting
811 Wastewater Collection/Conveyance
812 Wastewater Treatment and Disposal
821 Urban Storm Sewer System
822 Rural Storm Sewer System

• Weighted property assessment: Measures the size of the municipality's tax base. Refers to the total assessment for a municipality weighted by the tax ratio
for each class of property (including payments in lieu of property taxes (PILs) retained by the municipality). Data sources: 2015 returned roll and 2016 starting
tax ratios (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) and municipal tax rate bylaws) and Municipal FIRs (2014 or 2013 for PILs).

Calculation of Indicators
Table 2a - Indicator 1 (ratio of adjusted core infrastructure to weighted assessment)
Indicator 1 Value for Municipality
A Indicator 1 Value: (A1 ÷ A2) 0.072
1. Municipality's adjusted core infrastructure $133,170,614
2. Municipality's weighted property assessment $1,852,589,647
Indicator 1 of Eligible Municipalities: Median, Lowest, Highest Value
B Lowest Value 0.002 *
C Median Value 0.083
D Highest Value 0.302
Calculation of Re-weighted Indicator 1
E Difference between Indicator Value and Median (A - C) -0.011
F Difference between the Median and the Minimum Value (C - B) 0.080
G Re-weighted Indicator 1 (E ÷ F)-0.133
Note
Line F: Since the indicator is below the median, the difference between the median and the lowest value is calculated (C - B)
Line G: The re-weighted indicator is on a scale of -1 to +1.

1. Median of Infrastructure Indices of all Eligible Municipalities -0.021
Calculation of Grant
E 2017 Total Grant: Maximum of (B x E1 ÷ $100,000) or $50,000 (i.e. whichever is greater) $100,429
F 2018 Total Grant: Maximum of (C x F1 ÷ $100,000) or $50,000 (i.e. whichever is greater) $142,637
G 2019 Total Grant: Maximum of (D x G1 ÷ $100,000) or $50,000 (i.e. whichever is greater) $222,386
1. Municipality's total core infrastructure $58,199,426
Note
Lines B, C and D: Since the index is above the median, the funding per $100,000 of core infrastructure is greater than $179 in 2017, $254 in 2018 and $394 in 2019.
Please refer to the program guidelines for details on the minimum and maximum funding provided per $100,000 of core infrastructure.
