I am presently a member of the firm’s senior management group, which develops interpretations of legislative requirements, methodologies and alternative policy strategies for corporate assignments related to municipal finance. My primary area of focus is the municipal finance sector. I have undertaken user fee studies, development charge studies, fiscal impact assignments and water and sewer financial plans for several municipalities.I have carried out numerous development application approval process user fee studies, undertaking to provide municipalities with full cost recovery user fees for Planning Act and Building Code Act mandated services. These studies are being undertaken by municipalities to address the increased cost justification for user fees as required under Bill 124, Building Code Statute Law Amendment Act. Andrew has undertaken workshops on behalf of the AMCTO and MFOA, with regard to Bill 124 and the utilization of an activity-based costing methodology for user fees.I have also undertaken numerous water and wastewater rate studies, in order to provide municipalities with full cost recovery water and wastewater financial plans, as required under Bill 175, Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act. I conducted workshops with regard to Bill 175 on behalf of the ACMTO, WEAO and NWOWWA. Show less
