Much of Canada's infrastructure—roads, drinking water and wastewater systems, arenas, bridges and more—is owned by municipal government. With the support of the federal government, municipalities are embarking on an unprecedented renewal phase of these critical assets, recognizing that Canadians rely on this infrastructure for their quality of life.
The Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP) is a five-year, $50-million program that will support Canadian cities and communities to make informed decisions about infrastructure, such as the planning and construction of roads, recreational facilities, and water and wastewater systems.
Administration is recommending the County apply to the Program to pursue funding to enhance current asset management practices.
Motion to apply for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Municipal Asset Management Program for County of St. Paul Asset Management Enhancement Project to advance the County's asset management program through establishing levels of service, implementing a centralized information system, and strengthening the accountability of the asset management team.
Motion to commit $16,500 from the County budget to fund the County's portion of the Asset Management Enhancement Project.
