June Special Council Highlights
June Special Committee Highlights
Council decision-making at the Township of Muskoka Lakes typically starts at the Standing Committee level. These committees review and discuss staff reports, and make recommendations for Council who ultimately make a decision or provide direction to staff. Recommendations coming out of Standing Committees are not 'decisions' until Council 'adopts' them as a whole, which typically happens a month later at the next regular Township Council meeting. Information reports are also shared at these meetings.
These Committee Highlights provide updates coming out of the Special General Finance Committee.
Asset Levels of Service and Financial Model Report
The Province issued O. Reg. 588/17 which requires all Ontario municipalities to complete an Asset Management Plan that includes a financial strategy to support proposed levels of service for the next 10 years by July 1, 2025. At the Special General Finance Committee Meeting on April 29, 2025, Committee directed that public consultation not proceed until staff return with capital budget implications of proposed (target) levels of service for review
This report provided an overview and groundwork for feedback from Committee and the public regarding the Draft Asset Levels of Service Report including the background, levels of service framework and final implementation process including potential financial implications. Committee chose to receive the report and forward it to Council for consideration of approval as well as notifying the public of the Report to receive comments.
