The facility department noticed that the water billings for Lions Gate Hospital seemed low compared to prior years so in FY2011 and FY2012 we were accruing additional costs for this. During this time period, facilities did contact the City to have them verify their figures. A letter was sent to VCH in March 2011 stating that our account was correct. Based on this letter we reversed most of the accrual. The City of North Vancouver sent a letter in December 2012 advising that Lions Gate Hospital had been under billed $700k for water and sewer charges from September 2009 to March 2012. The City now wants to meet with VCH and we are not sure how we should approach this meeting. Can you please review the attached and advise on the legalities of the City s claim. If you need further information, please contact Rodrigo or me. Thank you, Sandra Sandra Evans, CGA Manager, General Accounting Services Vancouver Coastal Health Phone: 604-875-4295 Fax: 604-875-8244 E-mail: sandra.evans@vch.ca 2

On the other hand; is it possible you refund us that money instead giving as a credit? That specific account pays only $30-40K per year so the credit is too much; the other option is to use that credit in the future to pay for other accounts but I think with a refund it would be more transparent and we avoid any confusion mixing accounts balances. In my view it would easier for our AP department and your department. What do you think?

LETTER OF AGREEMENT July 19, 2013 Isabel Gordon Director of Finance, City of North Vancouver 141 West 14 th Street North Vancouver, BC V7M 1H9 Re: Settlement and Release Concerning Under Billed Utility Fees I am writing to you to confirm the settlement reached between the City of North Vancouver (the City ) and Vancouver Coastal Health Authority ( VCHA ) concerning the under billing of metered account no: s. 15(1)(l) (the Account ). This utilities account is held by Lions Gate Hospital ( LGH ), which is owned and operated by VCHA. The City incorrectly measured LGH s water usage level from the period of May 2009 to May 2012. In 2011 VCHA notified the City about potential billing errors and the City replied in March, 2011, that the Account was being billed correctly. However, in May, 2012, the City determined that the water measurements for the Account had been read incorrectly and notified VCHA in a letter dated December 11, 2012, that VCHA had been overbilled in May 2009 by and amount of $55,229.15 and under billed during the remainder of the period in question by an amount of $692,499.16. In 2013 VCHA and the City mutually agreed via telephone and email correspondence that VCHA will pay the City an amount of $357,518.89 as full repayment of the amount claimed by the City. This Letter of Agreement formally sets out the terms and conditions of the settlement and releases VCHA from any further claims relating to the under billing. Please sign both copies of this Letter of Agreement, retain one copy for your records, and return the second copy to me within 30 days of the date of this Letter of Agreement. Terms 1. VCHA shall pay to the City the sum of $357,518.89 as full repayment for the utilities that were under billed to the Account during the period May 2009 to May 2012 (the Settlement Amount ). 2. VCHA shall pay the Settlement Amount by installment in accordance with the following schedule: 1

Our past water bills for Lions Gate Hospital have been approximately 6,000 cubic meters /4 month period, now with this new meter installed our consumption has been recorded at approximately 24,500 cubic meters. This resulting bill went from approximately $10,000/ four month period to $46,821/ four month period. Please see attached recent bill and previous bills. Can you please re-check the new meter recently installed and adjust this $46,821 billing to reflect our normal billing and consumption. Either way if you could keep me in the loop. We will not be paying/processing this bill until we hear back from the city regarding this large discrepancy. Thanks for your help with this.
