About The Municipal Minute

Who I work with

Small and mid‑size municipalities across Ontario — townships, towns, and cities that often operate without a dedicated IT director, but still face complex technology, security, and compliance expectations.

The challenge municipalities face

Municipalities are being asked to do more with less: aging systems, limited staff capacity, rising cyber risk, and evolving requirements from insurers, auditors, and the province. It’s easy for IT to feel reactive, fragmented, or driven by vendors instead of municipal priorities.

How The Municipal Minute helps

• Translate complex technology into plain language for Council and staff
• Build multi‑year IT plans that align with municipal budgeting cycles
• Support security, compliance, and insurer/auditor expectations
• Coordinate with vendors, auditors, and insurers on your behalf
• Strengthen resilience through disaster response and continuity planning

Approach and values

The work is grounded in respect for public service, transparency, and practicality. Recommendations are tailored to your community’s size, capacity, and risk profile — not generic checklists. The goal is always the same: help your municipality make confident, defensible decisions about technology.

What you can expect

Every engagement is structured, documented, and designed to leave you with clear next steps. Whether it’s a one‑time assessment or an ongoing advisory relationship, you’ll receive Council‑ready materials, staff‑friendly explanations, and a roadmap that fits your reality.
