Levels of service – What are they?
- Services provided by Council can be provided at varying levels of quality, risk, and performance
Levels of service – why define them
- Varying levels of service have varying costs
- Council’s role to set vision for community services and balance that with community affordability
- Each member of Council, and each member in the community will have a different opinion of the right balance
Levels of service – Examples
| Asset Class | Level of Service | What does this mean |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 Distribution Main | Maximum 1 main break per segment | Replacement watermain when it is anticipated to reach 1 break |
| Roads – Collector | Minimum 91 score Pavement Condition Index | Structure maintained in good condition |
| Storm Sewers | Maintain PACP condition grade at level 4 | Storm sewer mains are replaced when they experience sever defects |
| Building | Accessibility features rating B or higher | Building has appropriate amenities for staff and the public, and can be accessed easily |
Levels of service – Choices
- Council will be able to choose between several options
- Council may choose to increase or decrease LOS based on community affordability
- The Town will have the ability to truly engage the community in budget consultation
| Asset Class | Level of Service | Annual lifecycle cost |
|---|---|---|
| Roads – Collector | Minimum 91 score Pavement Condition Index | $115,000 |
| Roads – Collector | Allow PCI score to fall to 81 | $75,000 |
| Storm Sewers | Maintain PACP condition grade at level 4 (sever defects) | $50,000 |
| Storm Sewers | Increase PACP condition grade to level 2 (moderate defects) | $83,000 |
| Building | Municipal Facilities meet BC Energy Step code 3 | $100,000 |
| Building | Municipal Facilities meet BC Energy Step code 5 | $500,000 |
- LOS will drive operations
- LOS will determine what gets integrated into long term financial plan (and 5-year financial plan)
