REGINA — Monday, the latest intake period opened for the Targeted Sector Support (TSS) Initiative.
The TSS Initiative provides cost-shared grants to support municipalities partnering on projects that are intended to support more efficient and effective municipal service delivery, and enhanced governance and administrative capacity. The four funding streams are capacity building, regional co-operation and municipal corporate transition, relationship building and dispute resolution.
Successful projects can receive 75 per cent of eligible costs to the maximum amount of $100,000. Project applicants and their partners are responsible for the remaining 25 per cent of the eligible costs.
Annual funding of $1.5 million is available for the TSS Initiative. It is allocated through a portion of the Municipal Revenue Sharing program.
The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) manages the TSS Initiative on behalf of the TSS Steering Committee. The TSS Steering Committee consists of representatives from SUMA, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), the Saskatchewan Association of Northern Communities (New North) and the Ministry of Government Relations.
Previously approved projects included training to enhance the governance skills of municipal officials, landfill feasibility studies, collaborative zoning bylaw updates, undertaking a municipal district study and combined asset management.
