Fiscal Impact Analysis: Applications And Usage In Ontario Municipalities, Jeffrey Celentano
Fiscal Impact Analysis: Applications And Usage In Ontario Municipalities, Jeffrey Celentano
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines the overall effectiveness of financial impact analysis (FIA) in local government based on a survey of 48 municipalities in Ontario with populations over 25,000. The findings reveal that despite the usefulness of FIA as an evaluative technique for municipal expenditures and revenues, it remains an unpopular tool for local government administrators in the province.
An Investigation Of Privatization: A Local Government Service – The Waterloo County Board Of Education School Bus Fleet, Christopher Smith
An Investigation Of Privatization: A Local Government Service – The Waterloo County Board Of Education School Bus Fleet, Christopher Smith
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines the issues involved with the privatization of local government services based on a case study of the Waterloo County Board of Education’s decision to privatize school bus operations. The findings reveal that a number of considerations should be made with regards to privatization, including whether the service is one that can be competitively substituted by the private sector, the type management controls, regulations, and evaluations that need to be put in place, and the contractual, legislative, and moral obligations to existing employees.
The Boundary Adjustment Process: The Case Of Arbitration In The Greater London Area, Bruce Curtis
The Boundary Adjustment Process: The Case Of Arbitration In The Greater London Area, Bruce Curtis
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines the negotiation and arbitration processes that were used in the annexation of the Greater London Area to determine their appropriateness in resolving boundary issues. A comprehensive literature review and an analysis of public hearings were conducted. The findings reveal that the arbitration process was unsuccessful and inappropriate in resolving the boundary adjustment dispute and the arbitration process did very little in adding substantial information to the decision-making process.
Municipal Staff-Council Relations In Theory And Practice: Examining The Hamilton Gore Park Fiasco, Vincent Sferrazza
Municipal Staff-Council Relations In Theory And Practice: Examining The Hamilton Gore Park Fiasco, Vincent Sferrazza
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines concerns regarding the roles and responsibilities of councillors and bureaucrats within the policymaking process based on a case study of the Gore Park Rejuvenation Program in Hamilton. The findings reveal that if the expectations of councillors and bureaucrats are not coordinated, problems will eventually occur and, more specifically, if councillors do not prudently assess issues and bureaucrats fail to act responsibly, policies will not be properly formulated or delivered.
Municipal Freedom Of Information And Protection Of Privacy Act, 1989: Organizational Change In The Region Of Hamilton-Wentworth, Thomas Plant
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines the organizational changes that have taken place in Hamilton-Wentworth as a result of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) based on case studies of the regional clerk’s department and the regional police department. The findings reveal that when change occurs at the municipal level, it is important to view the organization as a compilation of the organizational structure, the groups within the organization, and the individuals who comprise those groups in order to avoid decline.
