It outlines the towns fiscal strength in 2010 and highlights some of the accomplishments of Council and our dedicated staff in meeting the needs of the community. By managing our resources wisely, the town is in a strong financial position. In comparison to 2009, the towns net financial assets increased by $74.7 million. The significant increase can be attributed to the towns investment in Oakville Hydro and the $40 million dividend from the sale of Blink Communications. Our reporting and review processes ensure ongoing monitoring of the towns expenses and revenue against both operating and capital budgets. One key reason the town is in such good financial shape is the shift several years ago to performance-based program budgeting, or PB2. This budgeting system focuses resources on programs instead of departments and ensures we target spending to measurable outcomes. Overall, 2010 was a remarkable year for the town. We enhanced services and continued to maintain the quality of our programs and facilities. Of equal importance, we kept the town in a solid position to attract new businesses and jobs. Council and staff are dedicated to serving our community. I am confident that we can continue to make progress towards becoming the most livable town in Canada. Heres just a snapshot of our 2010 Annual Report and I encourage you to learn more by reading the full report at www.oakville.ca.
