Message from the Mayor and theChairman of the Executive Committee
The publication of the financial report for 2002 represents the first true financial portrait
of the new Ville de Montréal, which was born on January 1, 2002 as a regrouping of the
former Montréal Urban Community and all of the former municipalities on its territory. As
you will note, these financial statements bear witness to a healthy and rigorous management.
The city of Montréal concluded the 2002 fiscal year with a surplus of $114.5 million. This
surplus is mainly attributable to tight control over expenses and a vigorous Montréal economy.
On the one hand, our budget vision was respected, as real expenditures during the year
were very close to the budget forecasts.
On the other hand, thanks to the vitality of Montréal’s economy, growth in revenues
was superior to the budget forecast. In particular, tax revenues surpassed forecasts by
$44.5 million, and revenues from permits and duties on transfers of immovables were
$43.4 million higher.
These financial statements also reflect a $1.5 billion growth in the tax base of the new city
of Montréal in 2002, which is $600 million more than forecast. This is a very tangible sign
of the vigour of Montréal’s economy, and points to confidence on the part of investors.
These positive effects and the good management of our administration were also recog-
nized at the beginning of this year by Moody’s investors’ service, which raised the city’s
credit rating outlook from A2 stable to A2 positive.
Beyond the numbers, the 2002 fiscal year was a year of constant work to establish the
organization of the new city. A city which we want to be strong, with its own culture,
decentralized and respectful of the distinct character of the 27 boroughs. A city whose
prime mission is to provide quality municipal services to all of its citizens, while respecting
their ability to pay.
The Sommet de Montréal, which took place in June 2002 and brought together the key
players in the economic, political, social, community and cultural development of the
metropolis, was clearly a turning point in the building of the new city.
In this major democratic exercise with our partners, we were able to identify concrete
actions to consolidate and reinforce Montréal’s place as a metropolis of creation and inno-
vation, open to the world, a metropolis of knowledge and culture, a metropolis of sustain-
able development, a metropolis of social solidarity, inclusive and agreeable to live in, a
democratic metropolis, fair and transparent, and a metropolis with an efficient adminis-
tration at the service of the population.
It is also in 2002 that we undertook the process leading to the first city contract, a historic
document which lays out the initial guidelines for a new partnership between the city of
Montréal and the government of Québec to reinforce the finances and the development
of the metropolis.
In summary, over the first year, while administering this new city with care and wisdom,
we accomplished much work to not only build Montréal, but make it a success. For us and
most of our partners, Montréal’s success comes from being resolutely committed to building
a city of the future, acting for the generations to come and making it a stimulating and
innovative place to live, a prosperous and competitive city, and one of the great metropo-
lises of the world. This is the fascinating collective challenge that we chose to meet in 2002,
and to which we continue to dedicate ourselves completely.

Montréal is a unique city that takes its differences and contrasts in stride.
With a wealth of experience acquired over360 years of history, Montréal, one of theoldest cities in North America, remainsremarkably young and vibrant. This secondlargest francophone city in the world is alsohome to dozens of different communities,speaking many languages. But there is evenmore to Montréal's uniqueness.
Montréal is an ode to diversity. Its residentsare living proof of the possibility of a globalvillage. Montrealers by birth or by adoptionand those who are only passing through live together side by side in harmony. Theresulting cultural mix fosters exceptionalartistic activity. Many Montréal artists havemade their mark on the international scene: Céline Dion, the Cirque du Soleil,Michel Tremblay, Betty Goodwin andLeonard Cohen, to name a few.
This plurality is also evident in everyday life.Commercial streets and public markets arecosmopolitan meeting places. We have aChinatown, a Little Italy and a LittlePortugal, but no ghettos. Montréal's diver-sity also extends to its climate, where thechanging seasons redecorate the city atvery little cost!
Another Montréal paradox is that while itoffers comfortable living, it is also knownfor its nightlife. Openness to the worldmakes Montréal a joyous, gastronomic city,qualities that are reflected not only in itsmany restaurants and cafes, but also in itsinternational festivals and events. At culturalor sporting activities, Montrealers celebratelife to the full, and always peaceably.
How can we explain the unique atmosphere,at once quiet and passionate, that charac-terizes the metropolis? Perhaps the answerlies in the fact that Montréal is also anisland, and that its shores, mountain, canaland vast parks have managed to preserve arural, peaceful quality.
And although several boroughs may resem-ble a country village, Montréal is definitelya city of business and action. In addition to the lively downtown area with its skyscrapers and commercial buildings, thecity has many industrial parks, where agreat variety of high-tech products aredeveloped and manufactured. Montréal'seconomy is carving out a leading place for itself in the knowledge industries, suchas biopharmaceuticals, aerospace andtelecommunications.
Montréal is a well-situated island. At theentrance to the Great Lakes, it opens ontothe heart of North America, and also providesquick access to the New England states. Thisstrategic location has been and continuesto be a significant advantage. Many multi-nationals choose Montréal as their gatewayto the eastern U.S. market. And this doesn'ttake into account the financial institutions,international organizations and consulatesthat have settled in the city...
Montréal offers a world of possibilities. A unique, contrasting world that is in constant evolution. The world of Montréal!

THE MUNICIPAL REORGANIZATION: POOLING OUR STRENGTHS
TO BENEFIT CITIZENS THROUGH THE FULLEST EXPRESSION
OF COMMUNITY POTENTIAL
This is the first report to present a financial profile of the new Ville de Montréal. On January 1, 2002,
Montréal became a new entity with the amalgamation of the CUM and the 28 municipalities which made
up the former Communauté urbaine de Montréal.
The amalgamation gave effect to the Act to reform the municipal territorial organization of the
metropolitan regions of Montréal, Québec and the Outaouais, passed by the Québec National Assembly
on December 20, 2000.
A Transition Committee, created under the same Act, worked throughout 2001 to implement the new
Ville de Montréal, notably by setting up an operational administrative structure, preparing a 2002 budget
and facilitating the harmonization of labour relations.
The Act creating the Ville de Montréal introduced a new governance model whereby the power to
administer and manage the City is divided between the City Council and the Borough Councils. For
Montréal, this distribution of powers means that 28 jurisdictions, excluding the Executive Committee, act
on the City’s territory in areas under central authority, represented by the City Council, or local authority,
represented by the 27 Borough Councils.
This structure is designed to give citizens an effective role in defining their needs so that borough-based
proximity services meet their requirements and concerns. This structure also provides the City with the
tools it needs to boost its development and influence.
On November 4, 2001, Montréal voters had a rendezvous with history when they were asked to appoint
the people who, for a four-year term starting on January 1, 2002, would represent them on the 27
Borough Councils and the City Council. In addition to the Mayor, elected by voters from all the boroughs,
104 Montréalers were elected to sit on their respective Borough Councils. Of this number, 73 are also
members of the City Council.
The Charter of the Ville de Montréal provides for the creation of an Executive Committee made up of the
Mayor and 11 Council members appointed by him. Subject to the Council’s rights concerning matters
under its jurisdiction, the Executive Committee is charged with administering the City’s business and
sees to it that the Act, regulations and contracts are observed and enforced.
Reporting to the Executive Committee, the Director-General is in charge of municipal administration and,
accordingly, organizes and oversees the City’s activities.

THE MONTRÉAL SUMMIT: STEPS TOWARDS
A STRONG AND UNIFIED CITY
On January 1, 2002, Montréal took a groundbreaking step. It was a huge challenge and the stakes were
high. It meant working non-stop to build a dynamic and decentralized city, while providing citizens with
similar- or better-quality service.
Implementing new structures in the 27 boroughs, giving new impetus to the democratic life of
Montréalers, integrating staff, initiating talks to conclude a fair city contract with the Government of
Québec. The task was daunting.
A powerful catalyst was needed to achieve so many objectives all at once. The Montréal Summit was,
unquestionably, the event that rallied the population and translated ideas into action.
In June 2002, Montréal held a landmark Summit bringing together key players involved in the City’s
social, community, political, economic and cultural development. The Montréal Summit took place in two
phases: the first within each of the 27 boroughs and the second focussing on the Ville de Montréal’s 14
key development sectors.
More than 4,000 citizens made their voices heard and a consensus was reached on some 200 projects.
The Summit laid the groundwork for a large democratic metropolis on a human scale that was at once
strong and unified. In substance, it was the new City’s founding act in that a collective will was clearly
expressed on priority projects and sites.
When the Summit ended in June, 19 projects were already under way. Many others—about 60 in all—
will be completed in 2003, enhancing Montréalers’ quality of life, especially in the areas of transportation,
social housing and economic and cultural development.
The Summit’s main achievement was to identify practical actions to enable Montréal to realize its full
potential by generating wealth and sharing it to better the quality of life of all citizens.
Under the direction of the Mayor, a Forum uniting the representatives of the Summit of Montréal partners
met every three months to track work in progress and set proper guidelines for upcoming projects. The
municipal administration has a clear and firm commitment: to complete all the projects on which a
consensus had been reached at the Montréal Summit within five years.

THE CITY CONTRACT: TANGIBLE RECOGNITION
OF THE CITY’S STRATEGIC ROLE
Out of the Summit emerged a vision of Montréal for the 21st century. All the partners agreed to build a
creative and innovative metropolis that was prosperous, open to the world and part of the international
network of major cities—in other words, a democratic, unified city that would use its resources wisely to
prepare for the future.
On the last day of the Summit, aware of the issues confronting the new City and its strategic role in
spearheading and driving Québec’s economic growth, the Government of Québec unequivocally stated
that it shared the ambitions of Montréalers.
By signing a joint statement laying the foundations of a new style of municipal governance—the city
contract—the Government of Québec effectively pledged to take practical steps over the long term to
foster Montréal’s sustainable development in the economic, social, cultural and community spheres.
The city contract is a veritable urban action plan that binds the City and the Government of Québec for
five years through the joint action of ten government departments and agencies. It provides for new
financial commitments by the City and the Government of Québec in the amount of $1.2 billion.
In short, the city contract is an innovative structuring tool that redefines, broadens and modernizes the
City-Government partnership, shifting it towards decisional autonomy, flexibility, transparency of actions
and, of course, accountability for results.
THE MUNICIPAL REORGANIZATION: A TWO-PRONG SHIFT
TOWARDS INTEGRATION AND DECENTRALIZATION
On January 1, 2002, the new City, consisting of the 28 former municipalities of the island of Montréal,
was born. A two-prong shift began. On the one hand, the boroughs were created on the territory of the
former municipalities and some former suburban cities were merged into a single borough. On the other,
the nine boroughs that had previously formed the Ville de Montréal had the challenge of successfully
transferring a number of central functions to proximity services. Concurrently, municipal services
previously under the jurisdiction of the former City or the former Communauté urbaine de Montréal were
deployed and integrated.
This extensive structural operation was an unmitigated success—mainly because 85% of each
borough’s projected workforce was already in place—and generated numerous democratic gains for
Montréalers, who inherited a metropolis that at last had the tools to ensure its harmonious development
while remaining close to its citizens.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND YEAR 2002 REVIEW
XX
In addition to the City Council and the 27 Borough Councils, a number of other bodies ensure that there
is a sound and constructive dialogue between the City and its citizens. Because the City is regularly
involved in a host of areas, the City Council created seven standing commissions that sit at least four
times a year, usually at City Hall.
Made up of elected officers, these commissions are charged with holding public consultations on any
subject related to their programs before making recommendations they deem appropriate to the Council.
The commissions are as follows: the Commission permanente sur les finances, le capital humain et les
services aux citoyens; the Commission permanente sur l’urbanisme, l’aménagement du territoire,
l’environnement et le développement durable; the Commission permanente sur les relations
interculturelles, l’habitation et le développement social et communautaire; the Commission permanente
sur les arts, la culture et le patrimoine; the Commission permanente sur le développement économique
et le Centre des affaires; the Commission sur les transports and, lastly, the Commission permanente de
la présidence. Another commission, the Commission de la sécurité publique, was created under the
Charter.
In addition, three new independent bodies were added to the existing democratic bodies. Montréal is a
historically rich city and its cultural heritage, archives, traditions and landscape are treasures to be
carefully preserved. Accordingly, the Conseil du patrimoine de Montréal, in place since August 2002, has
been charged with developing a heritage policy. The Conseil is responsible for hearing any person or
organization wishing to express an opinion on a heritage issue.
Since September 2002, the Office de consultation publique de Montréal, meanwhile, has actively
examined citizens’ urban planning concerns. Its members are not elected officers or city councillors. The
Office provides citizens with the opportunity to comment on projects and briefs concerning the City’s first
planning program.
Lastly, because the City wishes to foster its longstanding cosmopolitan spirit, the Conseil interculturel
de Montréal examines relations between the diverse communities that form Montréal society and
represent a multitude of windows onto the world.
COMMUNITY SERVICES OF EQUAL
OR BETTER QUALITY
The second largest French-speaking city in the world, the new Ville de Montréal has a population of more
than 1,800,000. In 2002, one of Montréal’s greatest accomplishments was to deliver municipal services
to its citizens of an equal or better quality than the previous year, while completing the many
reorganization activities described above.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND YEAR 2002 REVIEW
XXI
For the new City, a successful transition above all meant guaranteeing vital services such as waste water
treatment and the supply of drinking water. Across the territory, operations related to the road network,
waste removal and recycling, maintenance of parks and green spaces, security, the law and recreation
and culture continued unhindered. It is telling that the level and volume of citizen complaints in 2002 were
comparable to the previous year.
Some services benefitted immediately from the reorganization and experienced a marked improvement.
As of midnight on January 1, 2002, for instance, the Ville de Montréal’s new fire prevention department
was equipped to respond anywhere on the island’s territory—in some places, with more human and
physical resources.
Strides were also made in municipal justice, again from the perspective of both integration and
decentralization. Since January 1, 2002, Montréal has had only one municipal court, although several
former municipal courts have become service sites.
In 2002, Montréal managed to maintain or improve service quality by relying on competent and devoted
staff.
INTEGRATING STAFF AND HARMONIZING
WORKING CONDITIONS
First and foremost, the City is its people. In January 2002, virtually all 29,000 employees found a place
within the new municipal structure. Unionized employees, covered by 95 collective agreements, were
integrated and deployed in accordance with agreements and arbitration decisions concerning
mechanisms to integrate employees from the various spheres. The number of certification units was
reduced to nine.
An integration plan for managers from the 28 former municipalities of the Communauté urbaine de
Montréal was successfully implemented.
The year 2002 also saw the initiation of discussions to harmonize the collective agreements.
DEVELOPMENT OF AN EQUALIZATION FUND AND
A DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE FUND
With an eye to promoting harmonious and equitable development across the island, the Act creating the
new Ville de Montréal specifies that the borough budget allocation must incorporate equalization
components. In 2002, two new funds were developed for inclusion in the following year’s budget.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND YEAR 2002 REVIEW
XXII
Through the Equalization Fund, credits will be permanently granted to boroughs that are either
underbudgeted or economically or socially at a significant disadvantage. Based on strict, recognized
eligibility criteria, the equitable allocation of budget resources to the boroughs will bring together
conditions conducive to the generation of wealth throughout the territory, guided by the principles of
solidarity and a harmonious vision of development.
The Development Incentive Fund has two components. The first, development budgeting, will permanently
adjust the boroughs’ budget base by granting additional credits to boroughs that experience significant
growth in their housing stock. These boroughs will thus have the means to provide comparable services
to newcomers without deterioration in the quality of services available to current residents. The second
component comprises a series of incentives to temporarily or sporadically compensate for
inconveniences caused by such development.
A SURPRISINGLY STRONG ECONOMY
Montréal, like the rest of Canada, emerged unscathed from the shake-up of the American economy in
2001. Thanks mainly to growing domestic demand, the Montréal economy was surprisingly strong in
2002.
Employment grew by an average of 3.6% over the year. The rise in employment encouraged many
Montréalers to enter the job market. The healthy job market had a greater effect on the labour force
participation rate than on the unemployment rate. The participation rate rose from 65.7% in 2001 to
67.4% in 2002. The unemployment rate, as a yearly average, increased from 8.2% to 8.4%.
With rising employment, low interest rates and tax cuts, consumers were the mainspring of economic
activity. Retail sales continued to grow. The vigour of the Montréal economy was also reflected in
improved performance in all real estate sectors compared to the North American average. Higher
employment and lower mortgage rates drove up housing demand for all types of housing and among all
categories of purchasers: rental property, owner-occupied residences, first buyers and second buyers.
The strong demand eroded the surplus that had prevailed on the market since the 1990s. Housing
resales hit a record high at the beginning of the year and prices soared, ending the year with an annual
increase of 13%. The strong housing demand fuelled growth in residential construction. The number of
housing starts increased by 54% in the metropolitan region and 40% on the City’s territory.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND YEAR 2002 REVIEW
XXIII
Rising youth employment over the last three years stimulated demand on the rental housing market. In
1999, the vacancy rate fell below 3%—the threshold indicating a balance between supply and demand—
and has remained below 1% ever since.
The strength of the Montréal economy was also reflected in the office building market. The rise in the
vacancy rates was minor. Many information technology businesses vacated their office spaces, but
demand increased among pharmaceutical firms and call centres. Absorption, which was positive during
the first half of the year, returned to the negative side thereafter, leaving a downtown vacancy rate of
11.7% at year-end.
After demand declined in the industrial real estate sector, the vacancy rate rose from 3.7% in 2001 to
4.4% in 2002. However, the experts consider the market to be balanced when this rate is lower than 6%.
Over the last ten years, the average inflation rate has been 1.4% per year in Montréal. Pressure on
prices remained weak and the consumer price index rose by 2% in 2002 in the Montréal region.

FINANCIAL RESULTS REFLECTING
SOUND MANAGEMENT AND
A STRONG ECONOMY
The Ville de Montréal’s revenues for the year 2002 were $3,591.5 million. Operating expenses, including
those of other financial activities, reached $3,587.9 million. Net revenues from financial activities for the
year therefore totalled $3.6 million. Appropriations from prior-year surpluses and reserved funds, totalling
$80.9 million, and long-term financing of financial activity expenditures of $30 million yielded a $114.5
million surplus at the end of fiscal 2002, or approximately 3% of the budget.
Of this surplus, $45 million was used in advance to balance the 2003 budget, while $26.4 million was
appropriated for projected expenditures in the same period. The free surplus balance stands at $43
million. A substantial portion of this amount will be used by the boroughs to create stabilization reserves
for the cost of snow removal activities and provisions for contingencies—maximum of 1.5% of the budget
allocation.

In order to balance the 2002 budget, the City planned to use $75.3 million from surpluses and reserved
funds and finance transition expenditures resulting from the municipal reorganization on the island of
Montréal, which were estimated at $13.2 million, through loan by-laws.
The 2002 results show that a balance was achieved between revenues and operating expenditures, as
the financial activity surplus, before appropriations, totalled $3.6 million, for a positive variance of $92.1
million compared to the budget.

Transfers 459.8 403.9 (55.9)
Total 3,569.4 3,591.5 22.1
Montréal’s strong economic performance enabled the City to generate higher-than-anticipated revenues.
Actual growth in the value of the tax roll was $600 million higher than expected. Due to this growth and a
significant improvement in the commercial building occupancy rate, tax revenues exceeded budget
estimates by $44.5 million.
The economic climate also had a significant impact on other revenues from local sources. Revenues in
this category exceeded budget estimates by $33.4 million. This difference is mainly attributable to real
estate transfer, licence and permit fees, which provided $43.4 million more revenues than budgeted, while
lower-than-anticipated interest rates reduced revenues from this source by $15.3 million.
Transfer revenues related to various government subsidy programs, which affect both operating and
capital expenditures, constitute a major revenue source. These revenues declined by $55.9 million. The
decrease is due mainly to a reduction in subsidies related to capital projects. This reduction was
accompanied by an equivalent decrease in the item “Transfer to the Statement of Investment Activities,”
presented in the following table.
Summary of 2002 Expenditures(in millions of dollars)
Budgeted Actual Variance
Operating expenditures 3,154.1 3,155.4 (1.3)

Total 3,658.0 3,587.9 70.1
Actual operating expenditures for all City activities exceeded budget estimates by a mere $1.3 million. A
closer look reveals the existence of several positive and negative variances. However, the comparison of
actual figures with original budget estimates does not take into account credit adjustments authorized by
the administration during the year.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND YEAR 2002 REVIEW

Expenditures related to the management of long-term debt are recorded under two distinct headings:
financing costs and repayment of long-term debt. These headings show positive variances of $16 million
and $23.7 million, respectively, for a combined total of $39.7 million. Given its strong cash position, the
City reduced its use of loans, resulting in savings of $8.7 million. In addition, lower-than-anticipated
interest rates, in conjunction with more favourable exchange rates, reduced expenditures by a further
$6.8 million. Finally, lower-than-expected transition expenditures generated savings of $16.2 million. The
$7 million balance is comprised of various items.
The item “Transfer to the Statement of Investment Activities” is closely tied to revenues from government
transfers related to capital expenditures. As previously stated, these revenues show a negative variance
of close to $55.9 million compared to original estimates, which largely explains the positive variance of
$47.6 million recorded in “Transfer to the Statement of Investment Activities.” This drop in revenues from
government transfers also helps explain the $65.7 million difference between budgeted investment
expenditures of $446.5 million and the actual figure of $380.8 million for the year, as shown in the
Statement of Investment Activities.

forecasts showed a $65 million appropriation from surpluses.
In addition to this amount, $19.8 million was appropriated for financial activities—primarily expenditures
made during the year but which initially were planned for 2001.
Under the City’s Charter and other legislation and regulations, certain amounts that are collected must
be allocated to the reserved funds and used for specific purposes. The total amount of $4 million
collected during the year for the development and maintenance of parks, playing fields and parking areas
was allocated to the reserved funds

Long-Term Financing of Financial Activity Expenditures(in millions of dollars)
Budget Actual Variance
Expenditures 13.2 30.0 16.8
The creation of the new City gave rise to certain expenditures which are amortized over more than one
year. The assisted departures program, instituted by the Montréal Transition Committee, was included in
these expenditures. The financing expenses associated with this manpower reduction program are
reimbursed by the Government of Québec. In order to benefit from this reimbursement, the City obtained
a loan. The amount related to this program, shown as long-term financing of financial activities, totalled
$6.2 million.
Under the Act creating the new Ville de Montréal, the expenditures attributable to the municipalities
amalgamated on January 1, 2002 and recorded after that date, remain chargeable to the taxpayers of the
former municipalities. In order to spread the impact of these expenditures on the tax accounts of the
taxpayers concerned over more than one year, the City requested and obtained authorization from the
ministère des Affaires municipales, du Sport et du Loisir to pass two loan by-laws totalling $23.8 million.
Balance sheet as at December 31, 2002
The balance sheet as at January 1, 2002, which has been prepared on a comparative basis, reflects the
combined balance sheets as at December 31, 2001 of the amalgamated municipalities, the former
Communauté urbaine de Montréal and the Montréal Transition Committee. The balance sheets are from
the audited financial statements of these municipalities and organizations. Certain figures have been
adjusted to eliminate interorganization balances or to conform to the new legal requirements in effect and
to the presentation adopted for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Assets
a) Cash and investments ($465.4 million)
These investments, comprised of $11.4 million in cash and $454 million of investments in the

During the 2002 fiscal year, the Ville de Montréal contracted long-term debt in the form of bonds totalling
$493.8 million.
The bond proceeds were used to refinance $394.8 million of existing debt, fund capital expenditures of
$73.6 million and finance $25.4 million in transition expenditures.
This debt is as follows:
- C$100 million issued May 17, 2002,
- US$67.6 million (C$106.8 million) issued October 29, 2002,
- C$125 million issued November 8, 2002,
- C$162 million issued December 13, 2002.
The City’s long-term debt was $5,503.5 million, of which $501.3 million was repayable in foreign
currencies. The average rate was 7.9% on debt in Canadian dollars and 5.3% on debt in US dollars.
As at December 31, 2002, the net reduction in debt was $399 million. This figure includes $510 million of
reimbursed principal, new bonds totalling $494 million, refinancings in the amount of $395 million and a
$12 million increase in the provision for unrealized foreign exchange losses. Long-term unfunded capital
expenditures, meanwhile, amounted to $289 million and financial activity expenditures totalled $25
million.
Provisions for redemption of principal varying from 2.5% (40 years) to 33.3% (3 years), depending on the
terms of the various loan by-laws, are included in annual expenditures. The City also provisions for
foreign exchange losses that may result at the time of repayment of debt denominated in foreign
currencies. As at December 31, 2002, these provisions amounted to $1,288 million.
PENSION PLANS AND OTHER EMPLOYEE FUTURE BENEFITS
The City provides its employees with various pension plans and other employee future benefits. Some
plans have actuarial surpluses, others actuarial deficits. Combined, the accrued benefits under the
pension plans have an actuarial value of $8,379.1 million and the plan assets have an actuarial value of
7,237.6 million (market value of $6,303.7 million). As at December 31, the value of the assets of some
plans exceeded their liabilities by $813.8 million. Pursuant to agreements reached to date between the
municipal administration and the pension plan members in respect of surplus sharing, the employer’s
portion has been set at $72.8 million. A valuation allowance of $741 million has therefore been recorded
to reflect the existence of projected surpluses, to be shared according to terms and conditions that have
yet to be negotiated. The net obligation is thus $1,882.5 million.

The $255.4 million increase in the net obligation in 2002 is due to growth of $228.2 million in the value of
benefits earned and a $27.2 million decrease in assets. The poor performance by the financial markets in
2002 prevented assets from growing at the same pace as benefits, given contributions and benefit
payments over the same period.
The City also grants other employee future benefits. The obligations related to these benefits totalled
$96.4 million.

largely reflected the appropriation of surpluses accumulated as at December 31, 2001; an amount of $30
million appropriated to reduce the initial actuarial deficit of the pension plans of the employees of the
former Ville de Montréal stemmed from the former City’s surplus balance; an amount of $5.4 million was
appropriated for the stabilization of user fee rates; and, lastly, $45 million was allocated to the 2003
budget.

Reserved funds amount to $40.1 million. The increase observed in 2002 resulted primarily from the
assisted departures program, implemented as part of the municipal reorganization. An amount of $19.1
million is earmarked for this program. A disbursement of $6.2 million under this program was recorded in
expenditures for the year. The other reserved funds mainly relate to park and playing fields ($10.5 million)
and closed loan by-laws ($7.1 million).

The City uses derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign exchange and interest rate risks related to its long-term debt. Theseinstruments consist primarily of currency and interest-rate swap agreements that mitigate the exchange risks associated with the repayment ofdebt principal and interest. These swaps, which are more fully described in Schedule 2, are used for loans totalling $1,451.5 million($1,815.2 million as at January 1, 2002). The City is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-payment by third parties with respect to theuse of financial instruments. When the City uses derivative financial instruments, it only deals with recognized institutions with a higher creditrating than that of the City.
Considering the existence of these swaps, with the exception of two loans totalling $153 million ($154.3 million as at January 1, 2002), all theloans contracted by the City bear interest at a fixed rate. As at December 31, 2002, unhedged foreign exchange loans amounted to$501.4 million ($552.7 million as at January 1, 2002) and the foreign exchange loss on these loans amounted to $187.2 million ($194 millionas at January 1, 2002). In this regard, a provision of $93.2 million ($95.4 million as at January 1, 2002) is recorded in the Sinking Fund.
During the year, the City paid $264.4 million to the Sinking Fund and $122.1 million to pay down the debt.

Equivalent Taxable Valuation
The City collects significant revenues in respect of certain tax-exempt immovables in the form of payments in lieu of taxes. For these reasons,the taxable valuation has been adjusted to more accurately reflect the values of the immovables on which the City’s revenues are based. Thefollowing table sets forth the equivalent taxable valuation of the City’s immovables as at December 31, 2002.

(1) According to the three-year valuation roll for 2001-2003, tabled on September 13, 2000, updated September 14, 2002.(2) The percentage applicable to such immovables in 2002 is established in Avis 8204 of the Government of Québec.(3) The values entered on the City’s three-year valuation roll for 2001-2003 corresponds to 95% in 2002 (median proportion) of the actual
value of the valuation units. The comparative factor of the roll, which is the inverse of the median proportion, is 1.05. Consequently,the taxable valuation and the equivalent taxable valuation, which represent the aggregate of the actual value, must be multiplied by aratio of 1.05 to obtain the standardized equivalent taxable valuation.

1. All property tax rates are expressed in dollars per $100 of valuation.
2. The sectors refer to the territorial limits of the amalgamated municipalities.
Sectors identified by an (e) used forward averaging of the 2001 and 2002 valuation rolls. The forward averaging of value variations
has the effect of changing the taxable values of properties and consequently results in higher or lower property tax rates depending on whether
the difference between the values on the 1995 three-year roll and those for 2001 is positive or negative.
3. In 2003, there are two categories of residential immovables: immovables with 5 or fewer units (residual category) and immovables
with 6 or more units. The property tax rates for these categories are identical for all sectors except Montréal, Montréal-Nord and Westmount,
where buildings with 6 or more units have had different rates since 2001.
4. Fee revenues have been translated into property tax rates. The rates are shown for information purposes and represent revenues from
water use and waste removal and recycling fees divided by the taxable residential valuation updated to September 13, 2002. In 2003, the
property tax rate equivalent is unchanged except in seven municipalities which used forward averaging of the 2001 and 2002 valuation rolls.
5. The combined average rate is the sum of the general tax rate and the fee revenues translated into the property tax rate equivalent.
As such, it comes as close as possible to forming an acceptable basis for comparison among the sectors.

1. All property tax rates are expressed in dollars per $100 of valuation.

Sectors identified by an (e) used forward averaging of the 2001 and 2002 valuation rolls. The forward averaging of value variations
has the effect of changing the taxable values of properties and consequently results in higher or lower property tax rates depending on whether
the difference between the values on the 1995 three-year roll and those for 2001 is positive or negative. The impact of the property tax rates
for the non-residential category is significant, since the value changes were more substantial for immovables in this category.
3. Business tax revenues have been translated into property tax rates for purposes of comparison.
4. The combined non-residential immovables rate is the sum of the general property tax rate, the tax on non-residential immovables and the business tax
translated into a property tax rate equivalent.
5. The specific property tax rate for non-residential immovables replaces the general tax rate, the tax rate for non-residential immovables
and the business tax rate applied for fiscal 2002.
6. There are no non-residential immovables in these sectors. If a business sets up in the area, the applicable rate will be the one shown in this table.
7. For business establishments with a rental value under $30,000, a credit is available to reduce the effective business tax rate to as low as 11.01% in 2002.
