<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> – Core <strong>Service</strong>s Review – <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Pr<strong>of</strong>ile</strong>s<br />
<strong>Parks</strong>, <strong>Recreation</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Culture</strong><br />
1. Introduction<br />
1.1 Purpose <strong>of</strong> this Document<br />
Background<br />
In 2012, the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> (<strong>City</strong>) contracted KPMG LLP (KPMG) through a competitive bid process to review the <strong>City</strong>’s operations <strong>and</strong> service<br />
delivery to identify cost-saving opportunities <strong>and</strong> areas for potential improvements. The <strong>City</strong> sees periodic Core <strong>Service</strong> Reviews as a necessary<br />
<strong>and</strong> positive means to check, confirm <strong>and</strong> review the range <strong>of</strong> services to be delivered by the <strong>City</strong> <strong>and</strong> recommendations to prioritize those<br />
services. The <strong>City</strong> considers Core <strong>Service</strong> Reviews as one method to ensure what is delivered is <strong>of</strong> the highest value to the community, to shed<br />
lower value services, to apply best modern practices to cost effective delivery, <strong>and</strong> to direct valuable, limited resources to the delivery <strong>of</strong><br />
community valued programs <strong>and</strong> services. The Core <strong>Service</strong> Review project commenced on October 10, 2012 <strong>and</strong> is being conducted in four<br />
phases with a draft final report to be delivered by March 31, 2013.<br />
<strong>Service</strong> <strong>Pr<strong>of</strong>ile</strong> Summaries<br />
During Phase 2 <strong>of</strong> the project, service pr<strong>of</strong>iles were created to present key information on the services that the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> currently provides.<br />
These service pr<strong>of</strong>iles were consolidated into five <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Pr<strong>of</strong>ile</strong> Summary documents, <strong>of</strong> which this document is one, <strong>and</strong> posted on the <strong>City</strong><br />
website.<br />
The information in the <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Pr<strong>of</strong>ile</strong> Summary documents was compiled by the <strong>City</strong> based on a template provided by KPMG. The intent <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Service</strong> <strong>Pr<strong>of</strong>ile</strong> Summary documents is to present key information on the services that the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> currently provides to inform discussions<br />
with <strong>City</strong> Council, <strong>City</strong> management <strong>and</strong> the community on the <strong>City</strong>’s operations <strong>and</strong> service delivery to identify cost-saving opportunities <strong>and</strong><br />
areas for potential improvements during the Core <strong>Service</strong>s Review project.<br />
Any performance related information is based on <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> provided information or statements. No opinion is expressed with respect to the<br />
validity <strong>of</strong> the underlying performance data. The <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Pr<strong>of</strong>ile</strong> Summary documents do not constitute an audit <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>’s services <strong>and</strong><br />
underlying sub-services. Accordingly, KPMG does not express an opinion on such matters.<br />
