The Town of Hal ton Hills has a wide range of assets ranging from roads, bridges, storm water infras t ructure , fleet, parks, community centres and other facili- ties--critical to ensuring the timely and efficient delivery of services to its residents. Managing this portfolio to yield the best value is the basis for the successful grant appli- cation that resulted in an award of up to $84,000 for a two phase pro- ject. The funding aligns Halton Hills with other municipalities through a federally-funded and F C M - l e d i n i t i a t i v e ; the Climate and Asset Management Network i s ava i lab le th rough the Municipalities for Climate Innovation Pro- gram, which is delivered by the Federat ion of Canadian Municipalities and funded by the Gov- ernment of Canada. For phase one of the p r o j e c t , t h e m o n e y will be used to develop an asset management policy, strategy and gov- ernance framework. In phase two, the Town will undertake the de- velopment of a Level of Service framework to identify and manage customer and strategic levels of service via per- formance indicators and measures, while includ- ing elements of climate change considerations and sustainability. " I 'm de l igh ted the Town was successful in securing this fund- ing," said Mayor Rick Bonnet te . "This wil l help build our resilience and the Government of Canada's well con- sidered and coordinated approach ensures that participating municipal- ities are collaborating on best practices, shar- ing information and of course, yielding the best value for taxpayers."
