Municipal Sustainability Self-Assessment Project FINAL REPORT Compiled by: Ryan Lane Stephen Quinton January 2009 The Project In 2005 the MNL’s President’s Task Force made a recommendation that all its membership should complete a self-assessment of their municipality. This recommendation would develop into the Municipal Sustainability SelfAssessment Project. Following this mandate, members of the CCRC Advisory Committee and staff developed a process through which municipalities can evaluate the status of their financial and operational positions and determine for themselves their ability to effectively and efficiently deliver municipal services. The project was an opportunity for council members and senior staff to observe the bigger picture with regards to their viability as a municipality and raise the awareness of long-term sustainability. The project directly tied in with the need for municipalities to complete an Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP). The ICSP is needed for continued access to the Gas Tax Funding. The Agreement signed by the Government of Canada, the Newfoundland & Labrador Government and each municipality for the Transfer of Federal Gas Tax Revenues requires that all municipalities prepare the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. The 6-month project involved council members and senior staff meeting with one of four Field Staff Facilitators to complete the Municipal Sustainability Self-Assessment Tool Kit. The project employed four Field Staff Facilitators who traveled the province meeting with municipalities to complete the selfassessments. These field staff were: Derek Banfield, Chris Shortall, Bobbi Gushue, and Paul Schiavone; Stephen Quinton coordinated the project. Everyone involved in the project met with 250 municipalities throughout the duration of the project. These sessions were the opportunity for council members and senior staff to contemplate their current situation and begin planning for the future. The Municipal Sustainability Self-Assessment Tool Kit addressed seven categories: Governance, Administration, Finance and Financial Management, Service Delivery, Infrastructure, Community WellBeing and Regional Cooperation. Like any project, the Municipal Sustainability Self-Assessment Project saw various challenges. The first challenge was to communicate with all municipalities by means of email, phone, fax and mail, which proved to be considerably time consuming. Another challenge was to coordinate the Field Staff Facilitator’s appointments by regions in order to optimize traveling, as well as incorporating flights and ferries, while organizing accommodations during peak tourist seasons. Lastly, it was essential to efficiently reschedule cancellations. The major restraint was to execute the Project within the allocated resources. Field Staff Facilitators met with 250 municipalities to complete SelfAssessment sessions throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. However the numerical data used in spreadsheet formulas applied 249 participation rate because although Field Staff met with senior staff from Corner Brook the Tool Kit was not completed as it was deemed unnecessary because of their proactive choice to begin the development of their ISCP. That averages out to almost 15 meetings a week, during the short-life of the Project. When the Project was first proposed few groups believed councils and administrators would be willing to participate – approximately 90% of all Newfoundland & Labrador municipalities have taken part in this process, far exceeding earlier expectations. (See Appendix A for Tool Kit Results) Mayors, Councilors and Senior Staff were very supportive and directly involved in the Self-Assessment Project. Their commitment to the project made it truly meaningful and reflective of the opinions of those involved in municipal governance, in turn showing their dedication to the long-term sustainability of their respective communities. Each municipality has their own unique assets, circumstances and situations that can play a major role in determining their long-term sustainability. These issues were presented to each of the participating municipalities in their own Municipal Sustainability Self-Assessment Report, outlining the results of the Tool Kit session. After Tool Kit sessions and reports the CCRC launched a Follow-up Phone Survey, measuring the membership’s opinions of the project. Out of the 186 participants in the Self-Assessment project that took part in the follow-up survey over 96% found the project to be of value. Interestingly only 35 municipalities said they would have taken part if council members and staff were required to travel in order to participant, highlighting the mobility of the project. (See Appendix B for the findings of the Follow-up Survey) The Municipal Sustainability Self-Assessment Project was an initiative of the Community Cooperation Resource Centre (CCRC) and was funded through the Canada – Newfoundland and Labrador Gas Tax Agreement. Through the completion of this Self-Assessment municipalities gained a better appreciation for issues affecting the sustainability of their municipal status but also of their community and surrounding region. Methodology The project was centered on the Tool Kit; a booklet consisting of a series of questions that related to the issues that are important to a municipality of any size. These issues included: Governance, Administration, Finance and Financial Management, Service Delivery, Equipment and Infrastructure, Community Well-Being, and Regional Cooperation. Participating municipalities would meet with a Field Staff Facilitator and together they would complete the Tool Kit. Field Staff were there to lead the sessions, explain the questions and record the answers into a hardcopy Tool Kit and input the data into an Excel Spreadsheet for final calculation. The municipalities were encouraged to record and keep a copy of the results. Field Staff submitted spreadsheets for each individual municipality and completed booklets to the Project Coordinator. Individual spreadsheets were then inputted into a Master spreadsheet that would allow for further analysis. The Master spreadsheet was designed so that group data could be gathered from the participants. The Tool Kit was designed with “Yes/To Some Degree/No” answers to allow for accurate responses from the participants. The Self-Assessment measured how the administration and council thought the municipality was functioning. The “Yes/To Some Degree/No” options corresponded with numerical-inputs into the spreadsheet, to allow for simple formulation in the Master spreadsheet. (See Appendix C for Master spreadsheet example) The following is the corresponding inputs: Yes = 2 To Some Degree = 1 No = 0 N/A = x. An individual report was issued to each participating municipalities based on their answers, highlighting areas of concern related to the functioning of the municipality and their long-term sustainability. When preparing the report there was a pool of answers to choice from that corresponded with the results of the Self-Assessment session, these findings were tabulated in the Master spreadsheet. The breakdown of how the pooled answers were distributed is as follows: Section A – G o 0%-46%: Negative response o 47%-69%: Moderate response o 70%-100%: Positive response (only if all sub-sections scored 70%-100%) Sub-Sections o 0%-69%: Description of why it is important o 70%-100%: Include no comment Attendance o 1 – 3 individuals: Poor turnout response o 4 – 5 individuals: Moderate turnout response o 6+ individuals: Excellent turnout Bonus Questions o 0 – 3 items*: Lack of unique assets response o 4+ items: Significant unique assets response ISCP Preparation o 0%-69%: Complete as part of a larger group of municipalities response o 70%-100%: Capable of completing ICSP solo response Results Completion of this project led to many significant findings. Some of these findings support the premise that many municipalities are experiencing fiscal and administrative difficulties in maintaining service levels. The process prompted municipalities to recognize where current methods of service delivery may be challenging or inadequate. The self-assessment, in addition, highlighted areas where municipalities excelled. These areas include the council’s commitment to the community’s well-being and their unique assets. Below are findings that really stood out after formulating the results (see Appendix A for all results). The section “Governance” refers to issues pertaining to the elected council.

The 90% completion rate is a strong indicator of the municipalities’ commitment and concern of long-term sustainability. The project’s eye-opening Tool Kit raised the awareness of several issues that could have otherwise gone unnoticed, preparing councils and administrators for the development of Integrated Community Sustainability Plans.
