To ensure that the conditions of the Administrative Agreement are met, municipalities are required to show they are making progress in implementing asset management.
Recognizing that Saskatchewan has a vast range of municipal sizes and capacity, and that municipalities may be at different stages in development and implementation of their asset management plans, a tiered structure to meet the requirements was developed. The Asset Management Subcommittee determined the tiers would be based on population of the municipality:
- Tier 1: Population up to 500
- Tier 2: Population from 501 to 1,500
- Tier 3: Population from 1,501 to 5,000
- Tier 4: Population over 5,000
The tier level establishes the targeted number of asset classes a municipality will need to complete initially.
The following chart summarizes the measures and targets municipalities are required to work towards in the development of their asset management plans.

Some municipalities may have more asset classes than identified in the chart. It is anticipated that as a municipality completes their initial asset class, they will gain momentum and proceed to complete all asset classes.
The Guide to CCBF Agreement Requirements expands on the approved recommendations for tiers, measures and targets and provides general guidance to assist municipalities as they work towards achieving the measures and targets.
