4. Lynn Dollin, President, Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) –
Federal Infrastructure Phase 2 Incrementality Resolution
Whereas municipal governments’ infrastructure is critical to our collective economic
health;
And Whereas stable, predictable and formula-based infrastructure funding allows
municipal governments to plan and schedule investments in infrastructure;
And Whereas Ontario municipal governments have asset management plans which
set out a municipality’s longer term capital plan which reflects the infrastructure
priorities of these asset management plans;
And Whereas a federal incrementality rule interferes with municipal long-term
infrastructure priorities and diminishes the value of municipal asset planning and
management;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Clarington calls on the federal
government to provide long-term, predictable, and formula-based funding in its
Phase 2 programs for municipal governments; and
That the Municipality of Clarington calls on the federal government to change
incremental requirements in Phase 2 to recognize in Ontario that a municipal
government asset management plan meets a municipal incremental infrastructure
requirement.

That Communication Item 9.3, from Shannon Everett, regarding Report
