Asset Management Program
The Corporate Asset Management initiative aims to ensure reliable service by formalizing a comprehensive and systematic approach to managing the City’s infrastructure assets. One goal of the initiative is to support City departments in managing assets in a way that balances levels of service, risk and cost effectiveness throughout the entire asset lifecycle. A comprehensive approach to asset management builds a solid foundation using detailed data and evidence to enhance decision making and sustainable planning to better enable the City in achieving its corporate objectives.
Long-Term Financial Plan
The Long-Term Financial Plan will set a clear strategy for identifying both sustainable operating requirements and funding as well as long range capital requirements including alternative funding sources. This long-term plan will provide a clear outlook of future funding needs and sources resulting in better service delivery planning and improved predictability of service level impacts resulting from decisions. The improved planning and predictability will support the identification of achievable and sustainable long-term financial goals for the City, that responds to growth, city building and excellent public service.
