City Receives Honourable Mention

The City of Grand Forks had a strong showing last week at the Union of BC Municipalities convention. The UBCM 2018 Community Excellence Awards gave Grand Forks an Honorable Mention for it’s Sustainability Service Delivery tool in the Excellence in Asset Management category. The tool was first used by The City last year and developed over a course of two years.

“The SSAT gives me the information I need to make budget and service level decisions” says Grand Forks Mayor Frank Konrad. “I can look at the department’s score and know when to dig a little deeper and ask the manager about why they are under performing or really doing a good job.”

The city’s highest scores came in Fire Protection and Water Utility. The lowest scores were in Flood Protection and Solid Waste. Ratings are divided between current performance and preparedness for the future, then summarized. A post from the City explains the main benefit is highlighting how to improve individual services.
