Eight capital, project and fund dossiers
Evidence lock: August 20, 2026
Each dossier is a named project or fund with a public dollar figure attached to it somewhere in the record. The “Unresolved test” column is the specific, single thing standing between that public figure and a transaction-level conclusion — never translate an unresolved test into a finding.
| 1 · Highbury Facility rebuild | LTC / capital service improvement | City project book: $301.9M; LTC phase figures imply about $321.7M | Two public budget vintages do not reconcile. 2025 LTC report says $5.0M did not get underway and carried to 2026. | Budget-vintage and delivery reconciliation | R1 |
| 2 · Roadmap to 3,000 | Housing Services | Project book: $78.0M | 2025 development report tracks 2,576 City-funded affordable units: 675 in progress, 1,360 in planning; stage for the balance is not stated in the summary. | Cost per completed/occupied affordable unit | R4 |
| 3 · Fanshawe campus grant | Economic development | Project GG1721-6: $20.75M | Named in the service-improvement capital book; end-to-end grant payment and outcome closeout not reproduced. | Agreement, payments, milestones, closeout | R1R6 |
| 4 · Mud Creek Phase 2B | Stormwater | Total budget $24.720M; 2025 financing/spend lines reproduced | EA approved 2017; site work began 2025; construction continues into 2026. Award, change orders and physical completion not joined publicly. | Award, amendments, FAC, percent complete | R1R2 |
| 5 · Springbank Dam | Environment / river project | Stage 1 estimate $14.6M; decommissioning budget up to $3M | Public record explains estimate changes, but final decommissioning cost and closeout were not located. | Final cost and closeout certificate | R1 |
| 6 · Wharncliffe/Horton | Transportation | $90M estimate; $39.6M funding gap reported Jan. 2026 | Unfunded at construction scale; no procurement expected yet. A smaller Wharncliffe line in the DC report is not the same project. | Updated estimate, financing plan, schedule | R1 |
| 7 · Operating contingency reserve | Corporate finance | 2018 balance $35.18M vs $96.59M policy target; 2024 audited contingency line $109.8M | Two accounting presentations are not proven to be the identical fund. Reconciliation is required before claiming recovery. | Fund mapping and policy-target calculation | R6 |
| 8 · Highway 401 / Highway 4 | Provincial transportation | No City capital cost established | MTO project; City endorsed municipal road closures. This lead is not a City-spending finding as framed. | None unless a different 401-adjacent project is specified | Closed — no further test |
