Service Delivery Review Results In $225,000 In Savings, So Far
The first phase of the core services review recommended by Ward 2 Local Councillor John Challinor II during the 2018 municipal election campaign and implemented by Milton Council in 2019 has resulted in $225,000 in savings, so far.
Nine of the 18 recommendations in phase one of the service delivery review have been implemented. The remaining high-level initiatives from the review to be considered, in future, include the following:
- Introduction of service standards;
- Pursue changing in-house advertising operating model;
- Reduce garbage in parks through technology;
- Increase automation in Community Services department;
- Re-purpose Rotary Park pool;
- Pursue changing Seniors Centre operating model;
- Plow side streets earlier; and
- Change to leased vehicles.
Several of the recommendations are subject to approval through the Town’s budget process of the related investments required to implement them. Other initiatives, such as the introduction of service standards, are expected to be undertaken using existing resources. CR
