Community Works Fund. The Community Works Fund will disburse, in accordance with a Community Works Fund agreement described in Schedule C, funding directly to local governments based on a percentage of the per capita allocation for local spending priorities (See Table 1 for percentages). A funding “floor” starting at $25,000 per local government in 2005/06 increasing to $50,000 by 2009/10, will ensure a reasonable base allocation of funds for smaller communities. For the purposes of the Community Works Fund, local government means municipalities, including the City of Vancouver, and regional districts.

The table below illustrates the proportional amount of New Deal funds that will be allocated under the Community Works Fund, by tier.

To provide flexibility for communities to finance local spending priorities, local governments may choose to borrow against future year New Deal allocation amounts, consistent with local government legislation, in order to finance Community Works Fund spending priorities. Local governments receiving funding under the Community Works Fund will enter into a Community Works Fund agreement (CWFA) with the UBCM. The amount of funding provided under individual CWFA’s may vary, reflecting the scope of services provided by the local government. CWF funds are intended to result in net incremental spending on local government infrastructure and or capacity building investments. Key elements of the CWFA with local governments include: • agreement to spend their CWF allocation in alignment with federal outcomes and provincial priorities. • agreement to spend their CWF allocation in accordance with established spending criteria, including: - Incremental investment — the proposed investment does not ...
