The FCM also publishes the ''FCM InfraGuide'', a Best Practice Exchange among municipalities to aid in better Public Management of Infrastructural Capital Assets . Its mandate is "innovations and best practices in Sustainable Municipal Infrastructure " and advocates a "bottom-up approach" to "knowledge sharing" of "Canadian experience and research", and "national co-operation and participation" to "help decision-makers and technical staff -- in the public and private sectors -- make informed, smart decisions about maintaining, repairing and upgrading the infrastructure that sustains our Quality Of Life ." Areas in which it gathers such best practices:
Additional areas including Continuous Municipal Performance Audit s, Information Technology and Communications Technology , are under consideration. For instance a project to reduce Total Cost Of Ownership of IT assets by better Boot Image management and control among larger-scale municipal government agencies. Also there are anticipated to be several projects prompted by the Kyoto Protocol requirements for Greenhouse Gas Control . The FCM was also instrumental in negotiating the New Deal for Cities under which Canadian federal gasoline taxes are remitted to municipalities. Former President of the FCM Jack Layton rose to leadership of the New Democratic Party Of Canada partially due to prominence federally gained in this role. SOURCES |
