註釋Presents an overview of municipal services that have been contracted out and provided by means other than direct, in- house delivery. The study focuses on Ontario and is based in part on a written questionnaire survey completed by municipal officials in 17 Ontario municipalities, and on follow-up telephone interviews. The authors also reviewed the literature and interviewed municipal officials with experience in alternative service delivery (ASD) elsewhere in Canada and the United States. Highlights of case studies for Canadian and US cities include information on the ASD methods used, the context in which they were used, and the outcomes. The final section summarizes findings and discusses the characteristics of successful ASD/competitive contracting, the differences between Canadian and US experience, obstacles facing Ontario municipalities, and the potential savings from ASD/competitiveness for Ontario municipalities. A copy of the survey questionnaire is included.
