MUNICIPAL
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT PROGRAM
(MPMP)
The Municipal
Performance Measurement Program
was introduced for the 2000
reporting year. Under this program,
municipalities are required
to collect specific data on
nine core service areas that
includes water, wastewater,
solid-waste management, land-use
planning, local-government administration,
roads, transit, fire and police.
The municipality
submits this data to the province
and reports the results to their
taxpayers either through direct
mail, the property tax bill,
ads in local newspapers or posted
on their web site. The data
collected will measure the efficiency
(cost) and effectiveness (quality)
of local service delivery and
will allow the municipality
to compare their own performances
from year to year and in relation
to other municipalities. There
are certain factors though,
such as population, geography,
age of infrastructure and accounting
practices that influence the
reported results and cause differences
in the data from municipality
to municipality.
