NOTES The Township provides centralized corporate support for services such as payroll, accounting and information technology for all departments and boards. A centralized support model may result in higher measurement than a decentralized model where more costs are allocated directly to service areas. Primary costs are attributed to council, human resources, finance, legal, information technology, facilities, communication and audit.

* Report results for 2001 only if the measure for local government based on governance and corporate management was reported in 2001.
