Subject:
Municipal Performance Measurement Program - Provincially Mandated
Public Repoding of Performance Measures
Recommendation:
It is recommended that Report CS 59-05 from the Director, Corporate Services &
Treasurer be received for information.
Executive Summary: The City is mandated by the Province of Ontario to report on
Performance Measures for specific key services areas. The collection and reporting of
these measures is not in any way associated with the City's annual audit. The
performance measures reported in this report are part of the Financial Information
Return filed by the City and both were filed on the deadline set by the Province of May
31, 2005. These measurements are being submitted and reported by the Treasurer
under the direction of Provincial authority.
Attached are the Municipal Performance Measurement Program (MPMP) results for
2004 together with a supplemental information package which will be provided on the
City's website, a comparison to the 2003 Measures and a copy of the Public Notice that
will appear in the News Advertiser at the end of September.
Financial Implications: None
Background: Attachment 1 is the information mandated by the Province to be
reported to the public by September 30, 2005. Comments pertaining to the compilation
and interpretation of the data have been included to aid in the explanation and
understanding of what is being reported. The Province has made provision for these
comments and encourages their inclusion, as many municipalities do.

Mandated Public Reporting of Performance Measures
With this being the fifth year of Performance Measurement reporting, one must bear in
mind that these measures are still evolving as feedback from municipalities are
received and are taken into consideration by the Province in determining and the
development of the Performance Measures to be reported upon. The undermentioned
data is a clear indication of the evolution of the measures over the years 2000 to 2004.
o In Year 1, 2000, data was collected for 35 measures of which 16 were required
to be publicly reported. Of these only 14 applied to the City.
o In Year 2, 2001, 25 measures were required to be completed and publicly
reported. Of these only 15 performance measures were applicable for the City.
o For 2002 40 measures were required to be completed and publicly reported, but
only 19 applied to the City.
o In 2003, 40 measures were required to be filed of which only 20 applied to the
City.
o In 2004, data on 56 measures were required to be collected of which 53 was
mandated to be publicly reported, of which 29 applied to the City.
The feedback received from municipalities after the first four years has resulted in
refinements to the way measures are defined and calculated which leads to improving
the measures to better serve the interests of the public and municipal needs. The
results have been used as a management tool internally for evaluating the efficiency
and effectiveness of the services we provide in the municipality. The Province's
Financial Information Return (FIR) is also evolving to standardize information, as this is
the basis of the data used in the calculations for Performance Measures. The
subfunctions used by the City for reporting General Government costs is those
developed from the CAO's Benchmarking Study which was mandated for use by
municipalities in 2002. This change alone significantly affected the comparability of the
results from 2000 to 2002. However, the results for General Government should be
comparable from 2002 to 2004 as the same grouping was used. For the year 2004
significant changes were implemented in the internal tracking of data complemented by
some additional accounts included in the General Ledger to accumulate costs for
roads. These changes allowed us to allocate costs more appropriately for the various
roads and storm water management measures. We also had changes to the number of
kilometers of roads and storm water pipes reported in prior years due to a refinement in
the estimate of kilometers. These changes significantly affected the results in 2004
rendering them not comparable to prior years measures. I must strongly
emphasize that all of the foregoing, together with the fact no two municipalities are
identical in their geography (ie. rural vs. urban) or level of service, make municipality-to-
municipality comparisons relatively meaningless. It will only be through continuing
efforts, ongoing experience, further clarifications from the Province and consistent
reporting formulas that year-to-year comparisons within the municipality and across
municipalities will start to become meaningful.

CITY OF PICKERING
YEAR 2004 PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT REPORT
OVERVIEW
As required by the Ontario Government's Municipal Performance Measures Program
(MPMP), the Treasurer of the City of Pickering, as part of its 2004 Financial Information
Return (FIR) package, has submitted financial and related service performance
measurements to the Province.
This program was announced in 2000 by the Ontario Government, which requires
municipalities to collect and report data to the Province and the Public in the form of
performance measurements on key service areas.
The objective of the Province is: to enhance accountability by reporting to taxpayers; to
increase taxpayer awareness; and, to improve service delivery by sharing best
practices with comparable municipalities. In keeping with enhancing accountability to
taxpayers, the Province accepted new categories for reporting General Government
costs recommended by the Ontario Municipal CAO's Benchmarking Imitative (OMBI).
Commencing for 2002 reporting all municipalities were required to use the new General
Government categories developed by OMBI and the City has implemented this change.
As municipalities change and grow, its citizens expect to receive quality, cost effective
services. Performance measurements are a means of benchmarking these services.
The City is committed to refining and developing new methods of collecting data so as
to have more efficient and effective benchmarking tools.
The benefits of this program will not be seen immediately, as municipalities in
conjunction with personnel of the Ontario Government's Municipal Performance
Measurement Program work towards standardizing information collected in calculating
the related measures which will ultimately allow for fairer comparisons from year to year
and across municipalities.
In addition, a comparability table has been provided that highlights which results are
comparable within the municipality's own measures and includes comments explaining
why any are not comparable.
Each measure is also accompanied by comments regarding aspects of the
measurements. The comments are an integral part in the interpretation of the
performance measure results. These results should not be compared across
municipalities without consideration of the comments that impact on interpreting and
understanding the results. In addition, influencing factors in the collection of data or
refinements while the measures are still evolving could affect the results and
comparability of same year over year.

municipal operating costs.
Objective
To determine the efficiency of municipal management
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results:
· The extent that cost centers within municipalities directly relate to the functions
included under the governance and corporate management categories

FIRE SERVICES
2.1 OPERATING COSTS FOR FIRE SERVICES
2004 J 2003
$1.18 $1.24
Efficiency Measure
Operating costs for fire services per $1,000 per assessment.
Objective
Efficient municipal fire services
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results across municipalities:
· Emergency response times
· Number and location of fire halls
· Urban/rural mix of properties as well as density of buildings.
Detailed Comments
Assessment value does not necessarily correlate to operating cost for fire services.
The higher the assessment value, the lower the cost per $1,000 assessment.
Conversely the urban/rural mix of the community will affect the results as will the size
and type of commercial/industrial establishments.
Number of households, response time and urban/rural mix of the municipality are
factors that determine the need for fire services not the property value.

Detailed Comments
In 2004 the City of Pickering maintained a separate account to track material costs
that were directly related to paved roads. However, the costs for administration and
other indirect costs have been allocated to the cost for paved roads based on
management's best estimate of the proportion of responsibility dedicated to the road
functions such as maintenance of paved and unpaved roads and winter control
The identified costs attributable to this function include employee wages & benefits,
asphalt, program support, rental of heavy equipment and shoulder maintenance.
The City maintained 762 paved lane kilometers in 2004

TRANSIT
5.1 OPERATING COSTS FOR CONVENTIONAL TRANSIT
2004 2003
$4.24 $4.08
Efficiency Measure
Operating costs for conventional transit per regular service passenger trip.
Objective
Efficient conventional transit services
General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results:
· The service hours of the transit operations, for example the level of weekend or
holiday service provided.
· The population distribution and the geography of the service area.
· Service levels required to accommodate passenger trips transferred from outside of
the City's boundaries.
· Unexpected events that may be included in operating cost that has no correlation to
service levels.
· The urban/rural mix of the service area.
Detailed Comments
The 2004 results reflect 100% of APTA's operations even though the Transit Authority
is jointly owned by the City of Pickering and Town of Ajax.
In 2001 Ajax and Pickering operated separate transit departments. These two
departments were amalgamated for 2002 resulting in some one-time transitional costs.
In 2003 under the provincial reporting program, the allocation of program support costs
incurred by each municipality changed substantially. This resulted in a formula driven
increase in the amount allocated to APTA, for reporting purposes, not an actual
increase in operating costs.
Trips deemed as transfers are excluded from the denominator of passenger trips.
However, the costs would be impacted to ensure that appropriate service levels are
provided to accommodate these additional passengers.
For 2003, the number of passenger trips excluding transfers was 2,248,265 and in
2004 it was 2,338,680 an increase in ridership of approximately 3.8%.

General Comments
The following factors can influence the above results:
· The service hours of the transit operations, for example the level of weekend or
holiday service provided.
· The population distribution and geography of the service area.
· The percentage of the service area to the total municipal area.
Detailed Comments
The 2004 measure is based on a combination of the population of the service areas in
the City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax.
In 2003 the population of the service area was 166,853. In 2004 the population of the
service area increased by approximately 5.4% to 176,398.

rate of urban storm water
Detailed Comments
This measure is not comparable to 2003. The significant change in this measure is
mainly due to the fact that, in 2004 the methodology for the allocation of salaries and
benefits was refined for roads to isolate the labour costs for Storm Water
Management. The accounts were structured to more accurately identify direct costs
such as contracted services and materials, storm pipe cleaning, flushing, video
inspection, catch basin/manhole repairs storm pipe repairs, cleaning of specialized oil
and grit separators.
NOTE: As this was a new measure for the year 2003 reporting, it was
management's best estimate of the kilometres of pipes in the urban areas. For
2004 we have refined the kilometres of pipes in the ground from 215 in 2003 to
400 in 2004.

General Comments
The following factors can influence the efficiency rate of urban storm water
management:
· The geography of the City, size and nature of the rural area.
· Land erosion control.
The frequency and time devoted to the maintenance of the rural drainage system.
Detailed Comments
This measure is not comparable to 2003. The significant change in this measure, is
mainly due to the fact that, in 2004 the methodology for the allocation of salaries and
benefits was refined for roads to isolate the labour costs for Storm Water Management
and the accounts were structured to more accurately identify direct costs such as
contracted services and materials, storm canal dredging, culvert repairs and
maintenance, ditching and other day to day maintenance measures.
Note: As this was a new measure for the year 2003 it was management's best
estimate of the cost in maintaining the City's rural drainage system. In 2004 the
City has refined the method used in collecting costs for this measure and as a
result the cost per kilometer in 2004 is a more accurate estimate of the cost of
maintaining the rural drainage system (ditches and culverts).
