To guide the municipality's work in managing public assets, we are considering what values to adopt:

Accessible - Services are available and accessible for customers who require them.
Reliable - Services are provided with minimal service disruption and are available to customers in line with needs and expectations.
Safe - Services are delivered such that they minimize health, safety, and security risks.
Compliant - Services meet regulatory requirements of all levels of government.
Affordable - Services are delivered at an affordable cost.
Sustainable - Long-term plans are in place to ensure the services are available to all customers into the future.

Looking at the list above, or your own, what do you value when it comes to municipal asset management?

Like all municipalities in Ontario, South Huron has an infrastructure deficit, which means we are not investing enough each year to maintain our current inventory of assets (roads, bridges, public buildings) in good working condition over the long term.

What is your preferred strategy for managing the infrastructure deficit? (You may select more than one)

I prefer to pay more (either in property taxes or user fees) to close this gap and ensure long-term service availability

I prefer to run a deficit for now and re-evaluate service priorities on an ongoing basis

I prefer that South Huron advocates to senior governments to close the deficit gap with dedicated infrastructure funding (using either income tax or sales tax revenue)

Other

Every municipal asset provides a service to our community - roads provide transportation, pipelines provide drinking water, community services provide recreational opportunities, etc.

"Level of service" is a standard for maintaining these assets, so they keep delivering according to our community’s expectations.

A list of proposed levels of service was presented at the March 31, 2025 Committee of the Whole.

Would you like to share any thoughts about the proposed levels of service?
