Subject: 2020 Municipal Indicator Results
Dear Chief Administrative Officer,
Beginning in 2017, Alberta Municipal Affairs started reporting on a new performance measure, which identified the percentage of municipalities that were deemed to be “not at risk” based on financial and governance risk indicators. This performance measure was developed in consultation with stakeholders, and is used as a benchmark for measuring the ministry’s efforts to ensure Albertans live in viable municipalities and communities with responsible, collaborative and accountable local governments.
Each of the thirteen indicators has a defined benchmark, and a municipality will be deemed “not at risk” as long as it does not trigger a critical indicator or three or more non-critical indicators. Municipal Affairs will publish the 2020 Municipal Indicator Results report for municipalities that are deemed “at risk” on the open government portal in early 2022 (https://open.alberta.ca/publications/municipal-indicator-results).
The municipal indicator results from 2016 to 2020 for all municipalities are available on the online Municipal Indicator Dashboard on the Municipal Indicators webpage (www.alberta.ca/municipal-indicators.aspx).
The ministry has compiled and verified the data collected from Alberta’s municipalities for the 2020 financial year and is pleased to inform you that your municipality did not trigger the required number of indicators to appear in this year’s Municipal Indicator Results report.
If you would like to discuss your results or the potential future release of these results on the Municipal Affairs website, please contact the Municipal Services Division at toll-free 310-0000, then 780-427-2225, or via email at lgsmail@gov.ab.ca.
Yours truly,
Gary Sandberg
Assistant Deputy Minister
