Service delivery review update
A report before County Council on September 23 sets out next steps for Oxford’s joint municipal service delivery review, which will involve engaging a professional facilitator to gather input from area municipal partners. The review, announced by Oxford’s municipalities in March 2020 during the time of the Province’s Regional Government Review, explored what is important to protect about Oxford’s municipalities; how the County’s two tiers work together to deliver services; and success factors, outcomes and recommendations that support our municipal partnerships. The review was allocated from special funding from the Province intended to help municipalities modernize service delivery and reduce future costs.

With this rating, the County is able to secure financing at a lower rate due to its strong capacity to meet financial commitments and to pursue higher yield investment opportunities that are not permitted to municipalities with ratings less than AA-.
