Perth East Township CAO Mike Givens is looking for a process on hiring an insurance broker.
"We would like to engage a local insurance broker to provide direct support to us around appropriate coverage, policies, annual renewals, claims management, issuing RFP, etc. Really an industry expert that we do not have in house. What I am wondering is if other municipalities have a formal process they utilized to assess and then engage an insurance broker that they would be willing to share." Please either email Mike directly or respond on our Message Board.

Pembroke CAO David Unrau is looking for information on fundraising foundations to support municipal capital projects.
"As it becomes more difficult to meet our level of service and as facilities age (recreation facilities in particular), municipalities are forced to find alternative funding streams or close facilities. As Chair of our local hospital board it is clear that government funding is inadequate and the hospital leans heavily on the Hospital Foundation for fundraising and support capital projects. Are there any good examples of municipalities partnering or creating a Fundraising Foundation to support municipal capital projects? Any documentation or lessons learned to share?"
Please respond to David directly or on the Message Board

| Is it just me or is it crazy on the roads these days? I've seen drivers run stop signs and go around school buses in the wrong lane. Lots of small people in gigantic cubes of metal going way too fast. It's scary for us dogs. And it's not just us--the kids in my neighbourhood ride their bikes on the sidewalk and have a ridiculously dressed guard just to cross the street in front of their school. My friend Coco postulates that one of the long-term effects of Covid must be explosive diarrhea. That might explain it.
My town keeps putting up more signs...but any dog will tell you that signs don't work. It's going to take much better design focused around all road users and not just cars. |
