The Alberta Ministry of Municipal Affairs is hosting a public survey to evaluate their review process.
The Ministry’s goal is to support municipalities to provide well-managed, collaborative, and accountable local government to Albertans.
Since 2012, the Ministry has operated the municipal viability review program. This Program uses a series of assessments to check the viability of a municipality. The Ministry’s current viability review process includes the following steps…
1. Initiation of the viability review,
2. Collection of information and analysis,
3. Completion and distribution of the viability review report,
4. Pre-vote public information session,
5. Vote of electors (public vote),
6. Viability directives issued or dissolution.
The Ministry has collaborated with KPMG, an accounting organization, to independently evaluate the Ministry’s current viability review process. To support the evaluation they are inviting the public complete this survey which can be done here, to provide feedback and allow the Ministry to improve upon the current viability review process.
All responses from the survey will remain confidential and the public can offer input until February 14.
