Municipal Service Delivery… in a two tier system • Provincial legislation and regulation dictate both the composition of and service delivery responsibilities for municipalities – ie: Regional Municipalities, Separated Municipalities, Single Tier, Counties, Townships, Towns and Villages • The Municipal Act. R.S.O. 2001 sets out most of the division of responsibility (Section 11 – Spheres of Jurisdiction – see following chart) County of Peterborough
Municipal Service Delivery… in a two tier system continued • However, there are hundreds of other pieces of legislation that also apply to determine the types of services and the standards for service that are delivered • ie: Planning Act, Homes for the Aged Act, Police Services Act, Consolidated Municipal Service Manager legislation, Social Housing Reform Act, Ambulance Act, Environmental Assessment Act, Drainage Act, Ontario Works Act, Highway Traffic Act, Municipal Elections Act, etc. County of Peterborough
Municipal Service Delivery… in a two tier system continued • Within the Peterborough area we have • The County of Peterborough – upper tier • The City of Peterborough – separated City • 8 Townships – lower tier: • Asphodel-Norwood • Cavan-Monaghan • Douro-Dummer • Galway-Cavendish and Harvey • v.

Municipal Service Delivery… in a two tier system continued • Every 4 years in October the Townships conduct a municipal election for Council • The Reeve and Deputy Reeve (or Mayor and Deputy Mayor) elected within each of the 8 Townships automatically have a seat on County Council for the same 4 year term • Every 2 years the County Councillors elect a Warden from amongst the Council membership County of Peterborough
Municipal Service Delivery… in a two tier system continued • The division or sharing of service delivery responsibility can occasionally be determined based upon historical involvement and agreement between the two different tiers (ie: in some Counties it may differ!) County of Peterborough
