The Township of Perth South has the following comments in regards to the proposed municipal asset management planning regulation as posted on the Environmental Registry EBR 013-0551: 1.The redesign of the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) in 2012 has had a significant financial impact on

The City of Barrie strongly supports improved asset management planning, which is a key component of service delivery and sustainable financial plans.

I do support the implementation of a more comprehensive asset management planning process, although I think that the proposed regulation could be unattainable with the current deadlines for small municipalities and municipalities with resource challenges.

Municipal asset management plans have been completed in various forms. Small Municipalities with more complex infrastructure that includes waste water and water, storm sewers, hydrants, street lighting, and internal street system require a high degree of expertise to complete an effective AMP.

Re: Proposed Municipal Asset Management Planning Regulation

I salute the inclusion of 'green infrastructure' in the definition of 'infrastructure assets'!

It is vital for our communities to acknowledge and quantify the value of green infrastructure so that we can protect what we currently have and increase our inventory if we see gaps.

I support the province’s leadership in developing a regulation for municipal asset management planning. Within this planning, I strongly support and urge the province to integrate green infrastructure planning and management into the regulation.

Recognizing the importance of green infrastructures! An example that should be followed by all the other provinces.
