After hours of discussion by council and many more hours of work by staff and consultants Prince Edward County’s Committee of the Whole (COW) has recommended levels of service and investment needed to keep the municipality running.

Those decisions will be part of a provincially mandated 10 year Asset Management Plan to be approved or amended by council September 25.

The plan will guide council in efforts to upgrade or replace keep its buildings, roads, various kinds of equipment, fire department, parks, and vehicles up to code and serviceable for the public for at least the next 10 years.

All Ontario municipalities are required to have such a plan approved by October of this year and most if not all have significant asset lifecycle spending deficits.

It won’t come cheap.
