Description
Are you responsible for asset management planning and financial strategy in your municipality?


Join us for a two-part webinar that will provide an overview of the components of a
financing strategy and how it connects to other Asset Management activities and municipal processes, such as levels of service, lifecycle management strategy, the budget process, and long-term financial planning. 

In Part One you will learn the requirements of O.Reg. 588/17 pertaining to the financial strategy component of asset management plans as well as how to establish a baseline of financial information. Discuss how to identify current capital funding capacity through analysis of current funding sources, identify lifecycle activities captured in the operating budget, outstanding debt repayment obligation and existing reserves/reserve funds that  can be used to support lifecycle funding requirements.

In Part Two you will learn how to bridge the lifecycle expenditure forecast with the funding baseline and how to measure the impacts of a fully funded strategy.  You will also learn how to incorporate long-term lifecycle funding targets into the financial strategy, the effects of expansion/growth on lifecycle funding targets and how to assess affordability through comparative metrics.
